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.

Yes, let us disgrace the flag of the country we supposedly love so much because more people liked the new guy less, and voted to keep the current guy in. You know, with Democracy, the thing they value so highly.

[–]Lisash 1 point2 points ago

But if Romney had won, then their mantra would be..."you don't have to like the president but respect the office"...hypocrites. I'm already so tired of their whining.

FLAGS ARE SERIOUS BUSINESS

[–]hereforthecatpics[S] 1 point2 points ago

I forgot to mention, there is also a sign hanging that says "we are all doomed"

[–]uncle_tambour 0 points1 point ago

That is a felony. Like, a no-shit-you-can-do-time crime, depending on the state. It's also one of the most disgusting displays I have ever seen in my life. This is evidence that the partisan bullshit being played these days is doing this country no good and destroying the bonds of unification that kept us strong throughout history.

[–]hereforthecatpics[S] 1 point2 points ago

I totally agree with you! This was on the local news' Facebook, and its sickening how many people are defending this. They say our country is in distress because a Muslim/terrorist/socialist/godless/the devil president is still in charge and the country is going to hell etc. I'm pretty embarrassed to be from this area right now.

[–]jackm3hoff 1 point2 points ago

Even though McDonald's stores are individually owned franchises I'm sure their corporate offices wouldn't be pleased with this kind of embarrassing display being associated with their brand.

[–]hereforthecatpics[S] 0 points1 point ago

A news reporter called the restaurant and asked about it. The manager said it was the owners idea. Then later said it was the corporations idea, not the owners. Now the owner is saying that it was a mistake and the flag staff is broken and they had no idea it was like that. I guess the sign in their window was a mistake too?

[–]theszucs 3 points4 points ago

How is it a felony? The 'laws' that govern flag use and etiquette have no penalties for breaking them (and this has been upheld by US courts). The only thing I can find that is a flag related crime is that was illegal to 'desecrate' a flag and this was overturned by a Supreme Court case (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Eichman).

From US v. Eichman: "The Government may not prohibit the expression of an idea simply because society finds the idea itself offensive or disagreeable."

[–]Scottolan 0 points1 point ago

how is this disrespectful.. half staff is a show of respect (for a fallen person or tragedy) and the flag being flown upside down is a sign of distress. none of which are illegal.. The worst offense is that the flag is torn in which case it should be given to the boy scouts to be destroyed.

[–]Spam-Monkey 0 points1 point ago

It is a sign of help. Run in and say "I called 911 what is the emergency?" -sm

[–]hereforthecatpics[S] 0 points1 point ago

It's a signal of "extreme distress to life or property". The guy you didn't vote for winning the election is neither of those things.
