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.

If the Internet has taught me anything about these, they spend their days picking up ducks and putting them back down where they belong.

Ladies and gentlemen, The Swamp Bouncer.

[–]HuggableBear 57 points58 points ago

Please tell me he's not about to eat that duck. I don't know if I could handle something that cute being horribly, painfully, deliciously devoured.

[–]Sandmanifest 46 points47 points ago

I'm pretty sure I saw a pelican eat a pigeon once. It was just as bad as you'd think.

I dunno, that must feel really good for the pelican.

Ducks are sadistic rapists, so it's okay.

I've seen a duck gang rape before. This guy is telling the truth.

[–]RLismyname 11 points12 points ago

I'm a duck and I gang rape all the time. This guy is telling the truth.

[–]justskidding 19 points20 points ago

Nope. He picked up the duck and set it back down out of his path. Get out da way, duck. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1225223/Dont-forget-duck-Giant-Shoebill-picks-feathered-friend-blocks-path.html

Was it this rabbit?

[–]anonymousuber 3 points4 points ago

Since he of course failed to here is the link. It's apparently not common to witness but a duck got too close and it just picked it up and moved it.

Maybe we take you there and see.

[–]DeathToPennies 20 points21 points ago

"Oxy Clean has CHANGED MY LIFE. I don't know how I ever went so long without it. Since buying it, my 7 cats came back to life, my house cleaned itself of all the whisky bottles, and my daughter reconnected with me."

[–]TheLeviathong 13 points14 points ago

"All the stress of those stains meant I just couldn't keep my little gentleman at attention. My wife was going to leave me, my house was being foreclosed on because I was spending all my money on inferior stain removers, but everything's great now, all because of Oxy Clean"

I am willing to bet there is beer in that baby's bottle.

[–]CommissarCool 7 points8 points ago

It's the slight furrow of the baby brow that gets me. His eyes seem to be staring at something too far to even see. That kid's been through some shit, man.

[–]Unicyclone 5 points6 points ago

It's like the cassowary is the foppish bisexual criminal mastermind, and the shoebill stork is his humorless musclebound enforcer.

[–]Tetimi 14 points15 points ago

There's a Shoebill character in the anime "Polar Bear Cafe" that's just as creepy as the real thing.

What if one day we learned there was an alien race that came to Earth and threatened humanity only to be outdone by a smarter stronger alien race that wanted to save humanity and as a result turn the evil aliens into these crazy storks. This is what I'd imagine them looking as and thats prolly why hes so pissed off. No wonder birds like shitting on people.

[–]stabsthedrama 1 point2 points ago

Lmao...ok...so I was at the Berlin Zoo with my wife a year ago on Reunification Day when I was stationed over there. There was a bird like this, I don't even know what it was called, maybe an albatross? But we had a real life socially awkward-penguin moment with this thing. All the other ones started getting food thrown to them by the dude that worked there, so they were flocking him. But not this one, he was just like standing RIGHT in front of us, like maybe a foot away for like a half an hour. It was histerical.

Unfortunately, I left my digital camera at the house...which I realized 2 hours in on a 7 hour drive down the autobahn. It was a really crazy fuckin weekend though, with a lot of partying, so the fact that we bought a shitty disposable camera there was actually pretty cool. Gave the pictures a weird vibe. I scanned them in.

I think it looks cool, but it's mostly lame. I don't like the 'look what I can do' style of art. I guess the idea may be that you don't have to go beyond the pencil to make great art...? Good for flea markets and stuff though. Probably makes a fortune.
