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), weight loss photos, posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. Weight loss photos go in /r/loseit, 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.

Photos were taken in Perth, Western Australia. always nice seeing it pop up around the place...

Maybe. There have been a lot of people that claim otherwise. The photo was allegedly taken on Australia Day. I come from Perth and know that on Australia Day there tend to be a lot of people wearing Australia day paraphenalia. There is NONE in this pic. There isn't a flag, towel or blue bikini. I have always called BS on this.

You're absolutely right. I googled it too on the intertubes and after READING the blurbs and the myriad of other pages it show that it was a PHOTOSHOP composite. L33T SK!LL2 on the photobox! Homo.

thus I said "Photos" not "Photo".

It's a combo of multiple photos from the same location afaik. I thought I linked to a page with a blurb describing the photos?

Yup, theres a blurb.

"The above image is actually a three photograph panorama digitally processed to reduce red reflections from the exploding firework"

put your dick away man. for shame.

Why not just say Will Smith?

Because there are devil-spawn-marketers on Reddit (as on other popular forums) who are paid to raise awareness to certain products or celebrities. I've noticed this trend started a couple of years ago, and I recommend for people to watch The Joneses to see where this trend is headed.

I'm not saying the OP is that, but whenever I notice something odd like that I'm reminded of this movie.

you are now realizing that this has a real probability of being what he is referred to as in the future, and that makes you sad. it makes me sad too.
