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), weight loss photos, posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. Weight loss photos go in /r/loseit, 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.

Using maggots for wounds to that degree isn't a gross thing but a very beneficial thing to do. It helps promote new skin growth around the wound well the maggots eat nothing but the dead/infected skin around the wound.

[–]Ggeekboy 5 points6 points ago

Now that I know they're maggots I'm not as grossed out. I honestly thought it was a spider or bug with its legs popping out of a hallowed diseased foot ready to lung out. shivers

[–]p9h9f8 2 points3 points ago

Well if you really wanna be grossed out and enlightened you should check out this video of maggot therapy on a woman's foot. Video

Fascinating.

I don't know if you did, but there is a good follow up video that shows how well her foot healed.

[–]brightmaple 0 points1 point ago

thats actually why the confederate army actually had less people die due to infection than the union army, despite their greater knowledge and use of antiseptics

This is a gif of the bottom of someone's foot with a gaping hole in it. As bloody gauze is peeled back by the doctor, maggots can be seen writhing deeply within the hole.

You do god's work, sir.

[–]leaked_poop 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It has to be some sort of medical practice. The maggots (assuming they are...) eat the dead flesh. Disturbing: yes. Imagine what it would feel like if that was YOUR foot!

[–]herp_de_derp 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

thanks man. I was fine until I read your comment. Now I keep feeling shit on my feet.

[–]bigwhiskey103 1 point2 points ago

I wonder if you can feel them moving. That would drive me nuts.

Here are the details of what's goign on (not for the squeamish). Maggot Therapy

EDIT: Check out rasputine's comment for what might actually be going on.

[–]rasputine 5 points6 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

that is NOT what is going on. note how the maggot therapy image is a decently cleaned wound. The OP image is gangrenous. those are naturally occurring maggots. That foot is going to be cut off.

[edit] as well as a large portion of his leg. note the greenish tint.

[–]WendyLRogers2 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Oddly enough, gangrene is so rare in the US that when someone is hospitalized with it, doctors and surgeons will come from miles around so they can smell its unique and overpowering odor for the first time. The stench is so powerful, and the human nose so attuned to it, that it will stink up the entire floor of a hospital.

I don't have an insect phobia, but seeing maggots wiggling around in a hollowed out section of someone's foot made my stomach turn. I have to watch something cute or funny to get that image out of my head now.

And because I hate to suffer alone, I'm putting this on my Facebook page.

I wonder how the human body can cope with foreign materials like that and that extensive loss of tissue. Will it remember how the matrix looked like or will it be scarred beyond any previous recognition?

I clicked w/o reading comments, and I can honestly say this is the very first fucking time I've ever screamed OH MY FUCKING GOD!!!! and couldn't look back at my screen to go back without covering the image. After reading comments I feel a teeny tiny bit better... but not much...
