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.

No, dolphins are dolphins, and whales are whales.

Orcas are dolphins

Blue whales are whales

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toothed_whale

The toothed whales (systematic name Odontoceti) form a suborder of the cetaceans, including sperm whales, beaked whales, dolphins, and others. As the name suggests, the suborder is characterized by the presence of teeth rather than the baleen of other whales.

George: I'm such a Huge whale fan. These marine biologists were showing how

they communicate with each other with these squeaks and squeals, what

a fish!

Jerry: It's a mammal.

George: Whatever.

dolphins aren't whales. it's like saying humans are gorillas because we are all primates.

[–]snoogansomg 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

No, it's more like saying that humans are primates and so are gorillas. A dolphin belongs to order Cetacea, as do belugas, blues, humpbacks, and all other whales. Dolphins are just a small category of whales that happen to have a more specific name for themselves.

[–]RichardPeterJohnson 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

No, it's like saying baboons are primates but humans are not primates, rather humans are apes.

"Whale" is a common name. There is no scientific test for whether something is a whale or not. Orca are dolphins. Some dolphins are called whales. Some are not.

Now's the time to think up a clever pun that uses my name in regard to the whales that could potentially be 'stepped' on to cross a path thus creating a WhaleStep.
