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.

fuck that's a lot for a bulb. is it available cheaper?

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I wonder if you could glue the base of another on to a working bulb and just make your own with a little craftiness? I think even I could do that..

[–]disastronaut 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

you know, you're right. you know how many of these bulbs i have stored away since switching to fluorescent? i could make at least a half dozen.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah and the base would be pretty easy to make too. You can get sockets at hardware stores. I might make one this summer if I can get around to finishing all the other projects that are in "fuck this shit its winter and I have no where to work inside" limbo.

The damn lamp base is almost twice as expensive.

You have to move the filament to get it to look like the one in the picture...

Can we all agree that "troll" is the most overused/misused word on the internet?

[–]PrettyPrettyGood 19 points20 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I'll put "fail" up for consideration. Maybe not really misused but definitely overused.

He jelly.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Because of the amount of extremely old content that's posted there?

EDIT: Oh, those are just retarded chain-comments. We've slowly turned into youtube with the comments. The funny thing is, youtube isn't even that bad anymore.

Great design concept if you like looking at a bare lightbulb.

[–]zip_000[!] 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

So the question is, do both of the socket-thingies (what is that called) work?

And if so, what happens if you screw in both?

[–]khrak 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

If both worked that would mean that powering the bulb makes both sets of contacts live. Exposed power = no go. It's just a disconnected contact glued to the glass.

[–]grandzooby 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I wonder if one could work a pair of relays so that if power comes down one set, it disconnects the other.

[–]zapfastnet 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Unless.........

It had some sort of dual filament design.

   extremely unlikely in a novelty item
   but i just love contradicting fellow redditors!

[–]MolokoPlusPlus 1 point2 points ago

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

You could wire them in parallel. I could be wrong, but I think it wouldn't change much to screw in both -- the voltage would be the same, and the bulb draws a specific wattage, which would be way below the capacity of the circuit.

IANA electrician, though, so I don't really know.

[–]NateTheGreat68 1 point2 points ago

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

Yeah, but then you have a terminal with live 110v just chilling in the open air.

[–]MolokoPlusPlus 0 points1 point ago

That's why it's a trollbulb :P

There's actually an abbreviation for "I Am Not A" now?

Never been to Slashdot, eh? That's where I've seen it for years.

Yep. There was some hilarious confusion when /. ran an article about IPv4 exhaustion (which is managed by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority)

Nice try. Tokyo was struck by an earthquake. Everything made of glass shatters during an earthquake.

You know when you first go online and stuff like this seems really interesting and mind-blowing? 10+ years later, and I think I am really desensitized to everything.
