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.

[–]big_ander 37 points38 points ago

even showing the reddit history of this picture doesn't really tell how old it is. this thing's ancient. but I guess if there are kids who still haven't seen it, whatever.

[–]helium_farts 7 points8 points ago

If I recall correctly it dates to a photography forum I was a member of about 6 years ago.

Damn. You know you've been on reddit too long when you remember shit from 5 years ago.

[–]Daax865 0 points1 point ago

I'm glad you see it this way. I've been a pretty avid redditor for almost a year now, and I've never seen this amazing pic. I'm happy someone reposted it because I love it now that I've had a chance to see it. I wish more people were like you and didn't get their panties in a wad over reposts.

[–]GAMEchief 3 points4 points ago

I haven't seen it. It happens.

[–]TroubadourCeol 17 points18 points ago

This picture is so ridiculously old I don't even

[–]seth11111 0 points1 point ago

You saw this picture a long time ago before a lot of us? That's pretty respectable bro...

[–]GetLoh 7 points8 points ago

yo dawg http://pfleidi.github.com/slides-async-nodejs/images/yo-dawg-xzibit-24.jpg

[–]borgfinkleton 3 points4 points ago

A Github link to an Xzibit pic. You don't see that very often.

[–]arsenalfc4 8 points9 points ago

My mind is successfully blown

[–]LOHare 2 points3 points ago

Yea, mine was too.. it took quite a while to figure out how they'd do it. Then, when I was finally at peace, I realized that 'they' is ONE guy. And boom went my mind again.

[–]mathius123 5 points6 points ago

Some kind of asian jeans convention?

[–]pics-or-didnt-happen 3 points4 points ago

It surprises me that some of you haven't seen this picture before.

[–]jwoffor2 5 points6 points ago

"Mind fuck" doesn't do what just happened to me justice...

[–]atlasthebard 2 points3 points ago

Welcome to your first day of the internet! Glad to have you!

[–]OneLifeLived 0 points1 point ago

Why is everyone freaking out.. It's really not hard

[–]GAMEchief 0 points1 point ago

creativity =/= difficulty

[–]Flying_Swede 3 points4 points ago

Take two photos at the same time, photoshop them in to each other.

[–]ocient 17 points18 points ago

it's the same person. well over two photos had to have been taken.

[–]wigsternm 5 points6 points ago

Holy crap I just noticed that.

[–]littlegreenrock -2 points-1 points ago

No no, they're Asians.

[–]Laowai-Mang 0 points1 point ago

I just peed myself. I mean, that was before I read your comment, but I thought you'd want to know. I think you're right though... if not I'm probably going to hell. Either way though, I'm probably going to hell.

[–]WC_Dirk_Gently -1 points0 points ago

To do it? no, not hard. To do it well? Yes, very hard.

[–]thep0cketr0cket 1 point2 points ago

Twins! Twins?

[–]bigmeat 0 points1 point ago

No, it's just a complicated system of mirrors

[–]RougeCrown 0 points1 point ago

Bro, do you even (photo)shop?

[–]R88SHUN 0 points1 point ago

So like he's actually just holding a green piece of paper right?

[–]miseryGuts 0 points1 point ago

So hard to resist.

[–]BobboBahBibble -1 points0 points ago

Holy shit a picture of men wearing pants that aren't skinny jeans....

[–]jones3316 0 points1 point ago

The jeans alone give away the age of this picture.

[–]Anarchistnation 0 points1 point ago

It a picture of a guy holding a picture of a guy holding a picture of a guy taking a picture of a guy holding a picture. Yo dawg, I heard you like pictures! XD

[–]SNOGLO 0 points1 point ago

[–]Nightstorm600 0 points1 point ago

Picture in a picture. Piception.

[–]wolfgame 0 points1 point ago

Ok, yeah old as hell, but I missed a couple of details, or at least forgot about them ... the dude's hands in the right par of the main picture are of the guy (yes, I know they're all the same guy) in the second picture behind the guy holding the third picture... also, not sure if I caught the guy playing basketball before ...

[–]cantrecallthelastone 2 points3 points ago

Godel, Escher and Bach all nod.

Cellphone guy is looking at the camera in the picture in picture with out a cell phone

[–]SteveRyherd 0 points1 point ago

Check again. You've got your perspective confused.

[–]elbruce 0 points1 point ago

In the picture-in-picture, cellphone guy is just at the very right edge of the pic - only part of his head is in frame.

[–]that1noob -1 points0 points ago

I.. I don't even.. O.O

[–]Snuggletotem -1 points0 points ago

My head hurts. My mind has been fucked, and now needs a cigarette.

[–]TRBfurry -1 points0 points ago

I am..so confused by this. I wanna make one.. but.. I dont think i can..y'know.. break physics

[–]Wackydude1234 -3 points-2 points ago

The photographs are just white pieces of paper. The rest is photoshopped in using two photos, one from each angle.

[–]beffjaxter 3 points4 points ago

It's only one guy. Several shots had to be taken.

[–]Wackydude1234 2 points3 points ago

ahh shit did not see that, although it's still easy to explain. Two cameras on tripods and the guy just does different poses and outfit, then photoshops everything in.

[–]elbruce 0 points1 point ago

Yes, "photoshops everything in" is how it's done. But that doesn't make it easy to execute.

[–]Laowai-Mang 0 points1 point ago

Are you sure it's just one guy? Oh god are all seven of them the same guy photoshopped in? I wish this was higher res...

[–]Alice_in_Wonder 0 points1 point ago

At first I was like "meh" and then I was like "wait..." And then I was like "what the f***?"
Seriously awesome pic.

[–]Chamber53 0 points1 point ago

Neat. Asians, I tell you.

[–]Chamber53 4 points5 points ago

Is it racist if its a compliment?

[–]Laowai-Mang 0 points1 point ago

Yes but no one seems to mind that kind of racism.

[–]ContstantExcuses 0 points1 point ago

Took me a minute then holy shit!

[–]kovacika -1 points0 points ago

This proves they all look the same!

[–]lavastorm -1 points0 points ago

you NEED to post that to /r/woahdude

[–]funnychicken 1 point2 points ago

It was... that's probably where he got it from: http://www.reddit.com/r/woahdude/comments/12czwt/blew_my_miiiiind_pic/

[–]Rose1982 -1 points0 points ago

I think this might be one of the first ever "joke" pictures that I saw on the internet. This shit is old.
