For an image subreddit with minimal rules, check out /r/images

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.

I only looked at the comments to see if someone was coming here to call out someone who only came to the comments to mention that. I pass no judgment.

He threatened to blow.

Dandies don't like to get blown?

[–]Hedgehogs4Me 5 points6 points ago

Latest one was 8 months ago. I'm actually ok with this.

EDIT: I'm a complete moron and should not be saying anything.

[–]wolfgang5feet 3 points4 points ago

In the comments for that last one you'll find more than one redditor showing the karmadecay findings. And that cycle keeps on keeping on.

[–]I_DRINK_URINE 0 points1 point ago

One of them was 2 months ago.

[–]Hedgehogs4Me 0 points1 point ago

Gah! Why would they put that on the bottom? Karmadecay has its whole ordering thing all messed up.

[–]ObidiahWTFJerwalk 1 point2 points ago

Alphabetical by title. I don't think that's the best criteria to order them by, but it at least makes a tiny bit of sense.

[–]Icyballs 1 point2 points ago

That it has been reposted doesn't change the fact of the awesomeness and uniqueness of the photo itself.

[–]wolfgang5feet -2 points-1 points ago

I feel really bad now. Thanks a lot Icyballs.

[–]theRAGE -1 points0 points ago

Fuck I hate reddit.

[–]Gashnor 1 point2 points ago

I took a picture semi similar to this (same concept, dandelion in front of the sun), but it wasn't as beautiful as this.

[–]backstab555 -5 points-4 points ago

ah, should of read the comments before I posted the same thing

[–]scottsiegel 2 points3 points ago

[–]indridcold137 -1 points0 points ago

I was half expecting the title to be along the lines of '1 in a 440 pentillion shot'

[–]waeva 1 point2 points ago

[–]atrde 0 points1 point ago

The sun! it's getting closer! It's going to destroy the earth

[–]super_asshat 1 point2 points ago

[–]EvOllj 0 points1 point ago

even with image edditting and exposure stored per pixel getting the exposure time right for this seems tricky.

[–]happy_starfish 0 points1 point ago

a-LION-ed dandelion

[–]JamoWRage 0 points1 point ago

Was a dandelion... now it's a sunflower.

Right, I'll leave

[–]wibbles01 0 points1 point ago

PSA - hope you had a filter of some sort or risk burning that dandelion image into your retina.

[–]crushcrushcrush 0 points1 point ago

everytime i blink i see this stupid flower

[–]PoorlyWordedUsername 1 point2 points ago

My eyes darted away from looking at that sun automatically. Weird biological response. Fascinating.

[–]dirtybirdy1 0 points1 point ago

Is that an oblivion gate?

[–]tux68 0 points1 point ago

This is timely, just found out my son is on weed.

[–]cursplode 0 points1 point ago

Red the title as alleged dandelion.

[–]PlasticCat 0 points1 point ago

Just beautiful I really like it! I want this for a wall in my house

Dandily-aligned dandelion

[–]scaly_croc 0 points1 point ago

Can someone tell me the odds of getting this shot?

[–]MT_Flesch 1 point2 points ago

really depends on the contortional ability of the photographer

[–]hmm_maybe 0 points1 point ago

I bet someone is holding the dandelion -Sherlock homes

[–]Crazybonbon 1 point2 points ago

So beautiful. Reminds me of a thermonuclear bomb exploding. :)

[–]MiniBandGeek 0 points1 point ago

For some reason, I'm reminded of Barry Goldwater.

[–]giftcardninja 0 points1 point ago

What is this a dandelion for giants?

[–]abovepostisfunnier 1 point2 points ago

1 in a trillion shot.

[–]MagicDr 1 point2 points ago

You forgot to post the odds of this shot. Don't worry , I did it for you and I calculated it to be 1 in 1 bazillion

[–]D4rkr4in 1 point2 points ago

Aligned dandelion is aligned....quite nicely.

[–]GoNavy_09 1 point2 points ago

Someone call the History Channel. I think this picture is onto something...

[–]Atrew 0 points1 point ago

But was it 1 in 1 trillion of a chance?

It's dandaligned!

[–]Dlgredael 0 points1 point ago

This is seriously awesome.

I'm no art critic, but flippin' wicked sweet!

[–]hassoun6 0 points1 point ago

Maybe he just aligned the sun.

[–]l1nk1npark 0 points1 point ago

You could call it a... Dandalignon?

[–]AchingAss 0 points1 point ago

Life's a garden, dig it.

[–]noxcomment13 0 points1 point ago

If you blow on that dandelion, you'll probably end the world by spreading it's seeds of fire and brimstone everywhere. ... But seriously, who can resist blowing on those? Totes worth Armageddon.

[–]Clobbertr0n 1 point2 points ago

Serious question about the odds: Doesn't every object in the world not obscured by another line up with the sun all day every day depending on the angle at which its viewed?

[–]giftcardninja 0 points1 point ago

I only came back to the comments to check if my 'witty' comment of 1 in a trillion shot right there... Then I noticed how many other people had the same idea. I think ill just go back to crying and masturbating...
