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.

It's a barn owl. Glad I could settle that for you.

[–]Slabonator 9 points10 points ago

Actually, I believe it's Barred Owl.

[–]Timicus 13 points14 points ago

Don't want to be 'that guy' but I think that markings look more like those of a Great Grey Owl

[–]comptroller23 3 points4 points ago

Yup, its a great grey, AKA: forest wizards

It does appear to be more streamlined like a bullet..

you might be "that guy,", but you're also the "right guy"

The real question is...Could it hit the broadside of a barn? And then live in it?

[–]duckpow 0 points1 point ago

Upvoted for being correct.

[–]Bearsh 0 points1 point ago

But then again, who are we to speculate where this owl resides. Could be a barn owl, possibly even a house owl. But the one thing I can tell you is that that is not an apartment owl... or a bullet for that matter

I'm pretty sure I saw that thing in the first Metroid game on NES...

Watch out! That's an owl...with your name written on it. Full Feather Jacketed.

[–]fireinthesky7 4 points5 points ago

Neither: it's a Great Grey Owl

[–]hodedoh 1 point2 points ago

I don't think this is a barn owl. Barn owls have a distinctive heart-shaped (and usually white) facial disc. Google Images

It looks more like an owl/cuttlefish hybrid to me.

[–]tHeSiD 0 points1 point ago

False. I'll go with false.

[–]beatles910 0 points1 point ago

I believe that is a spotted owl, not a barn owl.

Yes.

This is a repost, but it's also a repost of the first ever link I opened on Reddit. Therefore, nostalgia upvotes for you.
