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.

I do not have source, but I do wish to give credit. This picture was just emailed to me; if any fellow Redditor has the info let's hear it.

This appears to be the original (found it using Tineye).

Thanks for the info. I guess it's real, if my cat got on the ledge like this I would shit my pants.

Likewise. Hell, even standing on a balcony on a tall building is difficult for me. When I went to Toronto for a few months two years ago, I would often force myself to stand on my friend's girlfriend's balcony and go right up to the railing in order to desensitize myself.

I know how you feel; I visited New York last December and my kid stuck his arm through the glass at the top of the Rockefeller building and I felt like drop kicking him for it.

The photography should be here amongst other works although I can't see it because the host is probably blocked at my work (flickr/imageschack...).

If the pic isn't there, then here's a higher def mirror just because.

[–]CrazyEve 1 point2 points ago

Yes,

http://www.flickr.com/photos/crazy-ivory/5098888565/

You forgot the boss’s dickish commentary: “Hey Daniels, don’t you have a cat? Check this one out, way better than yours. LOL!” sigh.

Pretty sure cats work similarly to squirrels. Their terminal velocity is not enough to kill them(with squirrels it won't even hurt them) so they are pretty safe.

[–]frenchtoaster 2 points3 points ago

Is this true? I tried looking it up and the wikipedia article indicates that the terminal velocity thing was a theory that came out of a potentially flawed study.

Just what I have heard, could be a classic myth

I was walking to work one day when I saw two squirrels chasing each other on a telephone poll. One of them fell off and did not survive. The other one ran down and hissed at the twitching body of its victim.

Until a bird comes close by. Than the cat decides that flying is in its best interest :/ .

I'm not too good with grammar and so on, but shouldn't it be then?

Don't know if it should, but it would be the correct way to put it, yes.

When I watched my friends cat, I came home to the 21st story balcony door open courtesy of my roommate and the cat on the ledge. It scared the hell out of me! My roommate who owned cats before was calm about the entire thing though... I guess cats just do that.

Agh, I can't even watch that without cringing.... If I had a cat do that I would flip the fuck out and set up a fence so the cat couldn't get up there anymore >.<
