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.

What does he use to clean his visor? A screwdriver?

My imagination started to fly... I would like to think that those scratches are caused by small meteorites.

[–]CatbertOrange 9 points10 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

My realism started to come over me... I would like to think that those scratches are caused by randomly bumping into big floaty things like the space-station when crawling along its outsides face-down... Notice how the scuffs are mainly on the front of the mask, but not on the sides.

Leave my imagination alone! I want to think that small meteorites hit them all the time!

Your imagination can fly, but it will never fly as high as the gentleman in OP's photo has.

Wow, the reflection from the helmet almost got me fooled that the earth is actually round! LOL

[–]A-H 36 points37 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Almost got me too, but then I noticed his face mask is convex which would naturally enlarge and distort the reflection of the flat earth to look round. Whew, science to the rescue!

Yeah, same here. I was looking at it like "I see the arms, but where's the... ohhhhh..."

[–]zombiechud 12 points13 points ago

You know what I see when I look at this?

Firstly I think its pretty great that the only time people talk about Myspace is when referring to self taken pics. I see Tom in a public place hearing his site name and perking up, only to realize its a joke. He then sags his shoulders and says "Okay." and continues to eat mustard packets- not because he's broke but because he feels like he deserves it.

That's what I see when I look at this picture.

This photo is so epic.

Would be nice to think in 50 some-odd years from now, we as individuals might have the opportunity to take our own, similar photos...

Then everyone's BookFace pictures will be of masked, visored, people, and no one will be able to tell who is who, and it will be awesome.

Why is it that we can see all sorts of stars through our atmosphere, but pictures of the space shuttle/astronauts/ISS taken out in space almost always show nothing but blackness? Is that just due to the camera? Too much light from other sources?

That should say OCPD I think, but even then I still don't see how thinking the quality is too low makes you an OCPD nerd.
