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.

Love these. We act so big and bad, it's nice to be reminded that we're really, really small.

Thanks for posting this! :)

It's even better when you realize that we don't use 90% of the earth. We use a little bit of the crust and even less of the atmosphere.

This will blow your freakin mind...

From quantum strings all the way to the size of the universe on a logarithmic scale.

I have seen this a thousand times and it never ceases to amaze me.

Here's the original (warning, 6400x4200 pic).

ninja edit: Oh, and here's the Wikipedia article on stars, where the image is from.

Image credit; did you make this? If so, good on - it is colorful and useful.

Pretty sure it is from NASA, but I could be horribly horribly wrong and am too lazy to fact check.

I really wish these types of pictographs weren't so deceivingly one-sided. Yes of course we are small compared to stars, but how does the earth look compared to a human, an ant, a microbe, a protein, and an individual atom?

We need a logarithmic scale all the way from quarks to the stars.

Here's one.

Earth still feels big to me. Size is relative.
