For an image subreddit with fewer restrictions, check out /r/misc!

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.

  6. No animated images. Please submit them to /r/gif, /r/gifs, or /r/reactiongifs instead.

  • 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.

[–]dubbish 139 points140 points ago

Looking through his history, looks like OP reposts art quite a bit.

[–]Sarkos 141 points142 points ago

I wouldn't mind the reposting so much, if he didn't always try to take credit.

[–]LittleTiny 46 points47 points ago

He knows what he is doing:
" I confess. I get really sick of reposts and stuff so I wanted to see how easy it was to get to the front page. I just searched "sculpture" and found this. It was posted previously with more than 3000 upvotes.

Yesterday I saw a nice pumpkin carving in the Telegraph and posted it (passing it off as my own). It got more than 800 upvotes.

I'm not really bothered, it was an experiment. All downvotes are deserved.

EDIT: I think this one might bomb. It had an early surge up to 25 upvotes, but people have cottoned on somehow. I think most people upvote before reading comments, but this was an actual repost so the quantity of people that recognise it is higher I think."

[–]wayndom 11 points12 points ago

So why does this clown have over 1700 upvotes???

[–]flatsperm 15 points16 points ago

Because this "experiment" that he borrowed from a thousand past experimenters works every time and that's why they do it.

[–]ClearAsNight 3 points4 points ago

Probably because people don't go to the comments. They just upvote and scroll.

[–]Vslacha 1 point2 points ago

I like to think of OP as a good guy, trying a new strategy to muckrake on the exploitability of content and the lack of screening for reposts, and we're just slow as a community to pick up.

But of course, he's probably just a karma whore with a good excuse.

[–]toomuchpork 1 point2 points ago

Cottoned on.....fer sure!

[–]N4N4KI 11 points12 points ago

We need to get the mods to tag submissions like this with [misleading title] or something

[–]bamanbread 5 points6 points ago

yet this is still front page...

[–]KaraokeGod 271 points272 points ago

[–]Antony_Aurelius 19 points20 points ago

That powerpuff girls one gets me every damn time. I've seen the gif hundreds of times but every time I watch it fully, I laugh at the end

[–]ugotamesij 23 points24 points ago

It's the Vin Diesel one that does it for me. Glorious.

[–]jinku2608 34 points35 points ago

Oppan Gangnam Style

[–]x755x 2 points3 points ago

I love doing this when people say "op!" as short for "oops!" Yes, everyone hates me.

[–]wolfx 5 points6 points ago

Who the hell says "op" instead of "oops"?

[–]UncleTedGenneric 0 points1 point ago

Holy shit! Gravity Falls made it to meme!

That show is wonderful.

[–]completely_blind 9 points10 points ago

..... I have a question. Why does nobody get all offended by this use of the word fag? Its still used as a derogatory remark. Im just confused.

[–]ogami1972 19 points20 points ago

I would say that a very large percentage of redditors come from darker places of the 'nets, where we are all fags of one sort or another.

Except for OP. He's just a fag.

[–]3danimator 6 points7 points ago

Except for OP. He's just a fag.

A special kind of fag

[–]anonspangly 13 points14 points ago

Because the word hasn't had a widespread and fairly long-lasting "positive taking-ownership" thing going on by gay people, the way "gay" has.

As a massive cocksucking fagbucket, I am far more happy with "fag" being used as a throw-away stupid diluted pejorative than I am "gay".

Also, it's the small-children-on-xbox effect... Because, according to them, everybody is a fucking fag, it becomes necessary to disambiguate what sort of fag someone is. So "Xfag" becomes a shorthand noun for "a person who is a member of group / has property X".

I am a gayfag and a britfag and I'm sure also various other sorts of fag that I have yet to be informed about.

But OP? He's just a fag.

[–]LuxNocte 2 points3 points ago

"OP is a fag" is a 4chan meme (Like most of Reddit's memes).

Reddit is full of people from 4chan and others who think that racism, sexism, and homophobia is funny. Especially when it's "casual"...nobody really dislikes gays (except for the ones who do), so they think it's okay to joke about.

[–]vinegarstrokes420 1 point2 points ago

Great work! I will be saving these for later when they are needed.

[–]3danimator 1 point2 points ago

That first one is unbelievable

[–]argh_minecraft 10 points11 points ago

Hold up, let Me get my pitchfork.

[–]snuffluffagus 9 points10 points ago

The sad part is that this keeps getting upvotes when really this person is a chode.

[–]emilysnapple 5 points6 points ago

agreed. can we all start downvoting OP's post now?

[–]iClarion 4 points5 points ago

reddit's system isn't perfect. This calls for some kind of automated bullshit detector.

[–]triddy5 4 points5 points ago

How lucky the OP stumbled upon someone else's photograph and stole it as his own!

[–]Kaibil 14 points15 points ago

OP is a faggot. Mouse in the other hand, full of awesome!

[–]canisdormit 8 points9 points ago

Hover Mouse!

[–]TheActualAWdeV 2 points3 points ago

Dang. Still adorable though.

[–]tuxdreamerx 1 point2 points ago

Busted!

[–]hIDeMyID 0 points1 point ago

Thanks for posting the link. I really enjoyed the pictures.

[–]Airazz 271 points272 points ago

It's not random and it's not lucky, someone put some hard work into getting this shot. You didn't do anything, you just stole it for karma.

It was posted here a few hours before your submission.

[–]bjackman 38 points39 points ago

It was also in the Metro this morning

[–]Spudgunhimself 15 points16 points ago

Going to say that, I laughed at the fact that Hurricane Sandy got half a page but this jumping mouse got a page all to itself.

Edit: I definitely did not call it hurricane sally.

[–]ManiacalGringo 19 points20 points ago

You didn't do anything, you just stole it for karma.

MOTHER OF GOD.

[–]Ginnigan 18 points19 points ago

Random, lucky shot I found around the Internet! What do you think of this other person's photo, reddit?

FTFY OP.

[–]wikkedwhite 8 points9 points ago

OP is a douche.

[–]dogsarentedible 0 points1 point ago

Random, lucky shot

Sure, you got a perfectly framed, well shaded, once-in-a-lifetime shot completely by accident and at random.

[–]YayForThrowAway 111 points112 points ago

[–]osmigos 16 points17 points ago

Hovercat's elusive prey.

[–]hairnetnic 6 points7 points ago

yes, yes it does

In a thread of plagiarism, that was a pleasant surprise

[–]wut_da_eff 3 points4 points ago

I clicked on the comments hoping someone would shop these together. Thank you for upholding my hopes and dreams.

[–]MrDorkESQ 65 points66 points ago

[–]eagleapex 6 points7 points ago

<3

[–]mrwoolery 3 points4 points ago

That means that Mighty Mouse is on the way!

[–]Blakdragon39 1 point2 points ago

You deserve much more karma than OP

[–]carlotta4th 30 points31 points ago

I think... not only is your title horrendous and the picture better fitting for /r/aww rather than /r/pics, but that you're rather easy to ignore due to plagiarizing other people's work and claiming it as your own.

Future tip: You don't sound even remotely like a photographer who would be capable of taking such a picture. Lighting and framing are not "lucky random" things. Learn a bit of the lingo and postering before trying to troll everyone next time, hm?

[–]Deathalicious 21 points22 points ago

I agree. Definitely random and lucky that you came across someone else's original content.

[–]IMBJR 15 points16 points ago

This appeared on British breakfast TV this morning.

[–]Justizzi 0 points1 point ago

It was also in a newspaper called "Metro" yesterday too.

[–]bink_uk 15 points16 points ago

Holy shit! You managed to capture the exact same image that was in my newspaper this morning! What are the chances???

[–]edbanger04 16 points17 points ago

Next time don't steal something that is featured on BBC breakfast in the Uk

[–]fayte109 11 points12 points ago

I think it looked better in my Metro newspaper this morning...

[–]swotperderder 17 points18 points ago

[–]xit4 8 points9 points ago

[–]Hrodland 5 points6 points ago

I think you are full of shit and stole the picture.

Unless your name is John Cocks in which case I congratulate you.

[–]Sampull 4 points5 points ago

youre really good at capturing someone elses hardwork and displaying it as your own, and that grass looks sharp.

[–]thelawnranger 3 points4 points ago

Mighty Mouse out of costume.

[–]badondesaurus 9 points10 points ago

I saw this in the edinburgh metro newspaper today when I was on the bus to work. well done...

[–]BlissfulSon 1 point2 points ago

At last, hovercat has something to chase around the yard. Hovermouse!

[–]HighDice 0 points1 point ago

Really, man? Just be honest, you found this picture online, don't try to claim credit and everybody will be happy.

[–]zoltanps 1 point2 points ago

That photograph was taken by professional nature photographer, John Cocks. So unless you are Mr. Cocks, claimg this is your pic seems sad. Are you alone a lot? Do meaningless imaginary "karma" points validate you as a human being? Seek some help.

[–]ImAWhaleBiologist 1 point2 points ago

On one hand, that's the most god-damned fucking adorable thing I've ever seen.

On the other hand, you blatantly stole this for karma.

[–]NO_AI -1 points0 points ago

Stop taking nudy pictures of Might Mouse!

Some one needs to shop his clothes back on!

[–]sapphireluna -1 points0 points ago

how can something that cute make me squeal like a little bitch when it runs across my foot?

[–]Minxballs 0 points1 point ago

Wouldn't be so bad if you hadn't just scolded someone else for reposting a couple of weeks ago. Make all the excuses you want to because we all know that this is douchebaggery of the highest level.

You're a dick.

[–]Shaggy_Xx 0 points1 point ago

This reminds me of the Pokemon Stadium 1 minigame where you raced Ratatats.

[–]smaffit 0 points1 point ago

Stop posting other peoples shit and calling it your own. It doesn't make you cool, and you ALWAYS get caught... I mean seriously, if you're doing it for the karma... They're fake made up points that can't buy you anything, and any minor "internet cool points" it might get you are negated by the fact that you're a fucking fraud. Get off the fucking internet and go ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING... Like outside... Maybe take a picture of it.... Maybe post it... Idgaf but stop claiming other peoples work as your own. It's pathetic.

[–]thefinalcut71 0 points1 point ago

From now on anyone that I find blatantly reposting stuff as their original work, I'm going to downvote everything you've ever submitted. Hopefully enough do the same so we can finally discourage this. I'm ok with reposts but blatantly plagiarizing is bullshit.

[–]NomadicLogic 0 points1 point ago
