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.

A half naked, barefoot, bloody man carrying a trumpet and a smoldering jacket with sunglasses in his mouth strolling away from a burning police car isn't normal, but in Canada it is.

Canada - not even once.

The gentleman in question is a Fremen warrior, who had just disabled the police car with his weirding-trumpet. Used to stillsuits rather than Earth clothing, he had difficulty keeping his pants up during his escape, and only realised at the last moments that he did not need his shades on this rather less sunny planet.

Blow into trumpet, the car blows up, you can't explain that

[–]phlamez92 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

(note: said in Neil Goldman's voice) It would just be that the trumpeter hit the resonance frequency of the engine which, in a freak coincidence, hypercompressed the interior gasoline and oxygen in a microsecond, causing the engine to blow. most of the explosion went in the direction of least resistance which just so happened to be towards the cabin, thereby lighting the upholstery on fire. The shockwave from the explosion then just knocked this poor lad about, causing him to be disheveled and begin to lose his pants.

tl;dr that trumpeter can blow up cars with his horn.

Lemme guess. He stuck the trumpet up his ass to play a special note for the police officer that was lighting a cigarette sitting in the car; the ensueing explosion blew his shirt off and flying glass cut him up?

the guy got arrested and is doing time according to what i could glean from other posts. he was charged with torching the cop car.
he also appears in this video: meet me in the basement - broken social scene this is a fan made video for the toronto band, and incorporates a lot of images reddit is familiar with... many of the images from the toronto riots were used.

I'd figure that with him, or even better, his family as a whole if they're real too, there'd be mass property damage reports popping up the world over. Oh, and if any of you are wonder who the fuck Crypt is, look up an author by the name of Third Fang. And also, the hunt. grins evilly/insanely
