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.

In Buddhism, the hole is called emptiness. You can fill it with whatever you like, and you may even succeed, but on the other hand you may also realize that the void inside is simply part of you, and can be the source of your greatest joy.

... if you put sex in it.

[–]deterrence 17 points18 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The problem with that is that the sex is going to end. You can't live life in a perpetual orgasm.

...in before "challenge accepted".

Tineye reveals that this is a repost and its been on reddit before and that the actual source is dresden codak.

[–]bangthemermaid 23 points24 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

now, I am as outraged about the over-reposting as the next guy but seriously, I love this comic, intensely. I had lost the source I didn't know how to find it again. I like good things to pop up again every now and then. After all, not every reddit user is the same and some of us don't spend 30 hours a week on this site. Who's going down into moria to search for something, somebody posted months ago with an obscure title?

[–]Stop_Sign 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

First off, I love the comic, and have read it multiple times. Secondly, I'm giving the source. Third, my comment went down to -15 before coming back up to the 12 it is now. Fourth, that attitude of "If I haven't seen it, its new to me" is exactly what I hate about reposts. Read kleinbl00s response.

[–]RichardPeterJohnson 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

That's some bullshit. reddit is not kleinbl00's personal army. reddit is a self-policing community which, in general, liked this submission.

At first I thought "hole in chest" was referring to this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pectus_excavatum

[–]mrbroom 6 points7 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Nah, I gots one of these. 'taint no hole - just a de-pression in the old sternum. It'd be a hell of a lot cooler if it went straight through. I'd fill it with Skittles, then put on a shirt, walk out in public, and take a pratfall. "Taste the rainboooooooooow" (stage death)

[–]King_Theseus 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I have pectus excavatum as well. And I have filled it with skittles. No matter where I am, if I'm lying down I have a bowl.

[–]mrbroom 1 point2 points ago

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

My case is not nearly as bad as that of most of my fellow travelers, I've found. I could get a few ounces of Skittles in there, maybe, but if I didn't hold perfectly still I'm pretty sure they'd all roll off. It is a weird form of envy I have for you, and I don't know how to explore it, or if I should.

I thought that was going to have some profound meaning.

Doesn't it?

[–]Lampmonster1 7 points8 points ago

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

I would say that the meaning is something close to the basis of my philosophy. Life is what it is, try to have fun.

I see the comic as a mockery of the sappy shit. The last panel, instead of using the set-up to say something deep, is some random silly shit.

Tweeter and the Monkey Man were hard up for cash; they stayed up all night selling cocaine and hash, to an undercover cop who had a sister named Jan; for reasons unexplained, she loved the Monkey Man.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Thank you! Here's your explanation. It was a song done by the Travelling Wilburys.

Song

Who were the Travelling Wilburys? They were one of the first "Super Groups" who included Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbson, George Harrison, and a couple other less-recognizable names (Jeff Lynne & Jim Keltner).

[–]hogiewan 0 points1 point ago

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

The point of this comic is that enjoying the hole is a way of accepting who you are and playing the cards you are dealt without succumbing to stupidity like religion or materialism, but isn't the character in the last frame filling their hole with a pleasing sound (worldly pleasure).

not uncomfortable

What.

Edit: Sorry, I realize that's sort of a lazy post, but that really is the full sum of my affect. I literally can't imagine the emptiness not being at least uncomfortable without some sort of training.

I've been lazy on Reddit today. There have been plenty of posts that I wanted to upvote, but not enough to exert the energy required for the login keystrokes.

I logged in to upvote this post.

[–]mcgoogz 0 points1 point ago

some, like the author, fill it with a false sense of superiority.

[–]arkanus 0 points1 point ago

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

Yes, we all have that hole in is. We should be damn happy too. That hole is what makes us desire more. More food, more safety, more social contacts, more of everything.

It is why our ancestors have built all that you see around you. They were not happy with having some food in their stomachs, they wanted more food.

That hole is what defines us as a species, and life in general.

Soooo... you're filling it up with whistling noise.
Then the hole slowly fills up, no more whistling can be heard - and slowly depletes again, in a never-ending cycle.

Yeah! All professionals know that everyone on Reddit is in the same age group and has been using the internet at the same time to see the same sites... heaven forbid that any of us are ever forced into seeing the same information more than once.
