Looking 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.

  • 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.

There are some things in this world, Captain Niobe, that will never change.

As an engineer, I find the lack of units on either axis unacceptable. I might make an exception if the units of measure were "Awwww's" and "Beasty's".

I concur.

My greatest dream is that perhaps one day we'll genetically modify animals to have mini wild animals as pets. I cannot think of anything greater than to have a 1-foot tall giraffe walking around the house. Science, GET TO WORK ON THIS.

Previously, I was satisfied with my domestic canine. No longer. I will give you a suitcase of cash for a giraffe of this stature.

I would turn a room in my house into a savanna using the stuff model train enthusiasts use to make it look real. I'd have real mini water holes and ponds and a full variety of savanna animals. I'd perhaps even use Bonsai trees so the giraffes can eat real leaves.

Please please please come true!

Or narwhals the size of goldfish. They fit nicely in an aquarium and make great reusable toothpicks.

I'm not sure the laws of physics and animal physiology would allow for a functional scaling down of the biological systems of large animals.

Then again, I am not a theoretical zoologist.

That's interesting but 1) that is not an adult animal and 2) compared with giraffes and hippos pigs are not really large animals.

Also there are bound to be many complications attached with breeding miniature anythings as compared with "normal" breeds.

Like Russell Porters miniature elephant in the episode "Jerry was a Man" from Masters of Science Fiction.

In the future, transgenic permanent baby hippos will be sold as pets. And, inexplicably, they'll all be called Bartholomew.
