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.

They would still have to scale the sea walls. Also, I feel that all of that sediment would be pretty difficult to move through.

give up man you have already been infected

Oh hey, I've been there! On the opposite side of the island (the one not seen), it is just a moderately steep hill without a wall. Saint Michael's Mountain = Zombie fodda.

[–]Dr_Merkwurdigliebe 1 point2 points ago

No, not really. Even if the did surround you, it's unlikely they'd climb the walls, and in twelve hours they'd just be swept back out to sea with the tides.

[–]frexels 3 points4 points ago

The side on the left seems to lack walls.

[–]Dr_Merkwurdigliebe 1 point2 points ago

The rear would need to be fortified somewhat, but for the most part it is a cliff.

It could still be dealt with with some kind of demolition or a wall.

[–]barkingnoise 0 points1 point ago

The reason this fortress was selected was because of the surrounding water. Besides, it's not like there's a Mekong River every 12 hours.

[–]TheHorrahTheHorrah 1 point2 points ago

This only seems like a plus to me. Bait all the zombies to surround the sea walls, then drown them. You wouldn't even need to use guns. It's like lazy zombie killing. And don't give me that crap about zombies surviving underwater. I don't know who came up with that (Romero? Whatever, it's gotta have some scientific basis), but zombies have human muscles. Human muscles need ATP for contraction, and human muscle cells need oxygen to manufacture ATP. I suppose you could argue their muscles develop "gill-like" qualities or something, but it seems like a stretch.

[–]barkingnoise 0 points1 point ago

I'm assuming zombies are like the ones described by Max Brooks and those can survive underwater.

[–]thatawesomedude 6 points7 points ago

It has a bridge, which is a weakness. I think i'll prefer Alcatraz island.

[–]Robot_Ghost 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

But can they walk under water?

[–]Vijoe_Morganstein 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The zombies would never make it there due to the water currents. Plus they would have to scale the island which I doubt they could do.

[–]CeoltheTenor 1 point2 points ago

And don't forget the sharks :)

[–]makemisteaks 0 points1 point ago

You mean the zombie sharks?

[–]CeoltheTenor 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Guess they'll probably become zombies after eating zombies.

[–]barkingnoise 0 points1 point ago

Zombies are like Chuck Norris, they attack sharks.

you need a supply line

You would just need to have a sentry with an browning and a bunch of ammo.

i few sticks of dynamite should take care of that

Well, a zombie apocalypse just isn't any fun if you don't get to shoot at zombies every now and then...

You know when you build a city on the single tile islands in Civilization; well, this is what I imagine it would look like.

where is this?

[–]Thorveil 8 points9 points ago

Mont-Saint-Michel, Manche, Lower-Normandy, France

[–]HoosierMamma 13 points14 points ago

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

My sister got us a room there...it was friggin' amazing. You have to drive there during low tied because the sea washes away that road in the photo! We just missed getting our car submerged. Mostly French tourists there...so if your an American...you are in another world. Beautiful Abby at the top...which gives you outstanding views of the area...BREATH-TAKING. The lamb there eat the greens...which have salt water-obviously in them...so their meat is salty! Quite an experience. If your in France, you gotta visit this Normandy Treasure. It should be a wonder of the world...in my opinion.

That's totally awesome. Any idea how they constructed something like this?

Imagine being trapped in the tower as the village below and pathway out is swarming with zombies?

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

At least you would not have to worry about being eaten alive.

[–]mesosorry 0 points1 point ago

Not until the food stores ran out, and the tower is overrun. ..Unless you find an ancient hidden tunnel in the castle basement that leads to the mainland.

[–]blessedbe111 2 points3 points ago

YES, agree! Mont Saint Michel! Only accessible by narrow path for some of the time.

Take this shit down now.

let all those other idiots go to that fucking concrete monstrosity, while we more reasonable people go to Mont Saint Michel. WE NEED TO KEEP THIS PLACE A SECRET

You could use helicopters to bring in supplies. I like this.

I guy getting bit and hiding it from everyone else (like in all zombie movies) could ruin it

[–]Dr_Merkwurdigliebe 2 points3 points ago

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

He could ruin every zombie fortress.

[–]CeoltheTenor 0 points1 point ago

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

That alone seems to ruin EVERYTHING in World War Z. Really pisses me off. What good could people see in hiding it?

[–]Sim-Sala-Bim 0 points1 point ago

Well if you become infected and you are interested in seeing how the other side lives, what better way to do it then to be right smack in the middle catching normies off guard. Might as well make the most out of a bad situation.

I feel like it would be a pain in the ass to get supplies in. Also an exit strategy would be quite impossible unless you had some boats and gas to go along with it. I mean maybe a canoe would do in a pinch but i'd rather not

I would really like to see more potential Zombie fortresses. Can we make it a subreddit? I just want to be a part of conversations where I sound like an architect or a defense contractor!

[–]smellypants 0 points1 point ago

Also, in the book World War Z..the zombies walk in the water. Millions of zombies walking in the water = tall enough to get over the walls
