A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

Dammit that somehow sounded cute. If in reality it tried doing that though I'd squish it real good. In front of his family.

[–]SupaDoll 26 points27 points ago

Squish it. Ahhh. Squish it real good.

[–]undearius 7 points8 points ago

so it is just me then.. I tried this once, and got the opposite amount of up and down votes.

I suppose I should take Reddit's niceness with a pinch of Salt...

Ah-whenna spider comes along, YOU MUST SQUISH IT!

[–]SPESSMEHREN 88 points89 points ago

What is there to be worried about? The 25,000 mosquitoes, flies, ticks, and other undesirable insects they'll eat up in their lifetime?

[–]nathris 44 points45 points ago

I have a few spiders rooming with me. They leave me alone, so I leave them alone, and I've never seen a fly or mosquito in my room.

[–]bearigator 26 points27 points ago

I had a friendly spider in my room that decided it would be a good idea to climb up my neck and onto my mouth while I was on the computer. Poor guy was just trying to get to know me, and I killed the fuck out of him.

[–]b214n 0 points1 point ago

"gnight spider. don't let the bedbugs bite. me. "

[–]FalconOne 38 points39 points ago

I have scum bag spider room mates. Always bringing its buddies over, always climbing walls, always climbing up my legs, across my TV screen when I'm watching Warehouse 13 or Grimm.

But Still, fucking gnats and other flying insects trying to push me to the side while i'm playing borderlands.

spider room mate and his buddies arn't paying their rent....

[–]MisterUNO 7 points8 points ago

Someone needs to train these things to hunt and kill bedbugs. Then I will love them forever.

[–]Beef225 3 points4 points ago

Lol good policy. We have a house centipede living by our tv in my house. My roommates and I call him doctor legs. As long as we don't see him, we let him do his thang, kills all other house pets for us.

[–]Stormbringer909 10 points11 points ago

What kinda pets are we talking here? How big is the centipede??

[–]yaybiology 4 points5 points ago

Centipedes are actually venomous and can be dangerous, so you should be careful! Though millipedes are non-venomous, and safe as pets, they are plant eaters so probably won't help you out with the pest species. :(

[–]Sect312 1 point2 points ago

My cat slaughters and feasts on those things.

[–]MrAbomidable 1 point2 points ago

Same here, me and my house spiders are bros, they handle those goddamn fruit flies, I look the other way when I see them.

[–]Naldaen 0 points1 point ago

I have this agreement with snakes. I know they're on my property, and that's cool, if I don't see them.

If I see them, we got problems.

[–]online222222 6 points7 points ago

those are not round at the end

[–]RFGuy 12 points13 points ago

I saw a documentary on the issue some time ago. It's somehow the size ratio of body head and eyes or something.

[–]fanboat 15 points16 points ago

[–]yourpenisinmyhand 2 points3 points ago

As a husky headed man, I don't think I'll ever reach the rightmost level.

[–]Chiparoo 4 points5 points ago

Isn't that because things with larger heads/eyes remind us of our own babies, and we are predisposed to love babies for evolutionary/survival-of-the-species reasons?

[–]-AC- 1 point2 points ago

Is this related to the waiste to ass ratio? Dem girls get me all the time...

Why don't people like spiders? they're awesome

[–]Rachilde 23 points24 points ago

Come join us at r/spiders. It has spiders as a given, but my favourite part is the lack of inane comments about killing little creatures with fire.

[–]PunkRockMakesMeSmile 5 points6 points ago

That sounds fantastic! subscribed

[–]cloral 12 points13 points ago

Is that a jumping spider? Kinda looks like it with those large, forward-facing eyes.

Jumping spiders are very cool. Their increased mobility affords them the luxury of being curious about things.

[–]MLJHydro 0 points1 point ago

Jumping spiders are my favorite. They're highly intelligent, as far as spiders go, and don't bite humans.

[–]rioki88 6 points7 points ago

there should be a rule for this (much like rule #34) and it would be thus:

for every seemingly ugly or not-so-attractive thing, there is an infant form that is adorable.

[–]smccormick92 89 points90 points ago

10/10 would squish.

[–]JAM13 54 points55 points ago

[–]Noyes654 36 points37 points ago

Considering now it is small enough to fit into the tinier orifices on your body..

[–]erikcasey 21 points22 points ago

...I feel....itchy.

[–]malenkylizards 26 points27 points ago

To be fair, even a fully grown spider could crawl into most orifices you have.

Unless you're talking about your pores.

[–]ProcrastinationMan 3 points4 points ago

or tarantulas

[–]Ratiqu 11 points12 points ago

Tarantulas don't need orifices. They can make their own openings.

[–]ProcrastinationMan 5 points6 points ago

History shall record that it was a post by futuramadog that ushered in the age of the spider overlords.

Holy shit its so cute.

[–]colieshark 5 points6 points ago

I'm severely arachnophobic, but this is adorable as hell. :3

[–]ProcrastinationMan 2 points3 points ago

Ok, folks. It's official: all babies are cute.

[–]Hand_Sanitizer3000 5 points6 points ago

everytime i see i spider in my house i always give it a briefing " flies will be coming in from the east, get out there and hold your ground, i have faith in you soldier".

[–]hotlesbianassassin 6 points7 points ago

i don't know why people find spiders scary. they're awesome. house centipedes, on the other hand...

[–]jusksmit 4 points5 points ago

It's definitely not a rational fear - at least for me.

When I'm sitting here in the relative safety of a comfy chair in front of a computer screen, I can objectively say that spiders are pretty awesome. They eat pests, they generally stay out of my business, and the ones where I live mean absolutely no harm to me.

But when I actually see one skittering around near me, all of that rational respect goes out the window. It's something primal - I lock up. It's something about the legs, and the speed relative to its size. At the same time, though, I'm not creeped out by things with more legs (centipedes) or faster relative movement (mice/cockroaches). I dunno. It's just spiders, man.

I think it might also have something to do with the fact that spiders are non-mammals, but have a high degree of autonomy, awareness, and perceived intelligence. They hunt. They build homes. They encroach on your territory. But they're not doing it to serve a hive/brood/whatever. They're doing it for themselves. They are their own animal, but they're not mammalian, so it's very difficult to find any sort of common ground with them. When I see a mouse scutter across a room, I think "awwww, the poor thing's probably hungry." When I see a spider do the exact same thing, I feel zero empathy for it.

And unlike snakes and lizards, which meet all those same criteria, spiders have very tiny and obscure facial features, which makes it very difficult to anthropomorphize them.

[–]ExiRo 4 points5 points ago

Omg one crawled out of my sink. It was like watching a horror movie.

[–]dick_rickles 3 points4 points ago

I see this picture all the time. Anyone know what kind of spider this will become?

[–]OneRomaines 35 points36 points ago

Same kind as it is already, I'd say.

[–]valhallan42nd 7 points8 points ago

I believe he's looking for a mate. A lot of spiders "drum" to draw out females.

[–]willowsonthespot 2 points3 points ago

[–]mustang22490 9 points10 points ago

[–]rickanddianne 2 points3 points ago

[–]batquux 2 points3 points ago

[–]Beefy_G 2 points3 points ago

Even new born spiders have stubby extremities and look fat and pale. Maybe we're not all that different after all.

[–]kore464 1 point2 points ago

The head kinda reminds me of Meatwad.
