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.

That just made me really nostalgic for the bygone are where sci-fi and fantasy were easily mixed, and also not stupid.

Everyone in my office was talking about maintenance of this. It is not looking good. We repair real Aircraft Carriers and this one has all sort of problems, but everyone in the office LOVES it.

"Thise Aircraft elevators would be a pain in the ass just because of the lock system"

I was going to comment about impracticality due to evaporation aaand then I saw the sharks.

Seems rather impractical. What if it gets stuck on something? Or worse, has to go downhill?

Maybe it's actually some kind of space agey gel? And the sharks are mechanical? With lasers? Don't ruin this for us!

Thanks for keeping the dream alive friend. This has to be special non-evaporative-awesome-space-gel. I believe it.

I find it odd everyone is concerned about evaporation when the width of the track tread couldn't possibly keep the belly of the vessel above the sand.

The flags on the planes made me think this might be a commentary on the hubris of the Arab regimes in which the rulers build themselves private islands, huge aircraft and yachts, all of this on huge "private lands", while the subjects of the country live in density and extreme poverty.
