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.

Abandoned? Yes. Secret? Not at all.

[–]EventH0R1Z0N 13 points14 points ago

It's the old pneumatic transit line!

[–]Frankeh1 1 point2 points ago

[–]cdoublejj -3 points-2 points ago

All fiction is based on some bit of non fiction/fact.

[–]ThisGuyIsOnAMobile 0 points1 point ago

Oh, I've read some fan fiction that in no way was based on anything in this world...

[–]cdoublejj -1 points0 points ago

Take my comment "with a grain of salt".

[–]KirkSeattle -1 points0 points ago

Exactly my thought!

[–]crazzymike 20 points21 points ago

it kind of looks like the station the ninja turtles moved into in the movies.

[–]JM_Poop 4 points5 points ago

YES THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT RIGHT AWAY! only this is a little cleaner haha

[–]Corom 1 point2 points ago

Now all we need are some half-naked samurai running around.

Great video about the guy exploring these same abandoned tunnels.

[–]WorkerLover 4 points5 points ago

I ventured through this station with a few friends last month. You have to take a train past its last stop. Make sure you keep an eye out the window because the actual station isn't well lit and it whizzes by pretty quick. It ends up looking a lot like any other station, just darker. Kinda fun excursion if you're already in the area.

[–]wildcard58 1 point2 points ago

Yeah I wish you could see it as well as you can in these pictures (IIRC they allowed the photographer access into the station for these pictures).

For those that are interested: you need to be on a downtown (City Hall-bound) 6 train. Stay on the train after the City Hall stop (everyone else will get off), it will go through this tunnel and you will be back on the City Hall platform on the uptown track.

Worst Secret Ever!

[–]ReadTheBookFirst 10 points11 points ago

I don't know what impresses me more -- the photo (which is news to me, a 20-year resident of NYC), the existence of a Reddit image search engine, or the fact that the search engine thinks thinks this is an image of a endless brownie pan.

[–]TyrannyMcbane 0 points1 point ago

I clicked on that link. Saw no reference to brownies.

[–]EnjoyMyDownvote 2 points3 points ago

secret? doubtful.

[–]catlosboourns 2 points3 points ago

If it's abandoned, why are the lights on?

[–]noisy_honey 0 points1 point ago

? before or after hurricane Sandy ? :-(

[–]sathion 3 points4 points ago

Really awesome documentary that features this and other cool NYC abandoned area's.

[–]Existentialist 1 point2 points ago

That was insane!

[–]killjennyproductions 1 point2 points ago

Anyone know how it survived Sandy?

[–]wilddrake 2 points3 points ago

I don't see any Ninja turtles.

[–]fr8-3 0 points1 point ago

TMNT much?

[–]ME24601 0 points1 point ago

Secret Tunnel.

[–]beagley 1 point2 points ago

teenage mutant ninja turtles 3. that is all.

[–]River_Ronin 0 points1 point ago

SLIME! It's a river of Sli- oh nevermind.

[–]MyDogAteIt 0 points1 point ago

Hardly secret when it gets reposted on reddit a couple of times a week.

[–]Mmmbeans 0 points1 point ago

thought about this after sandy...based on its location, it's probably destroyed now.

[–]spf40oz 0 points1 point ago

[–]jprofitt303 0 points1 point ago

[–]mpgrocket -1 points0 points ago
