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 YOU DON'T !

It's only 1.38MB.

[–]jvmx 10 points11 points ago

1.44MB depending on how you define MB...

yes there really should be only one way to properly define it but we know how the various disk companies like to f w that definition...

[–]Phrea 1 point2 points ago

Ugh, so true... Try Linux, it makes it even worse.

[–]DougEdey -1 points0 points ago

There is only one way to define it properly really, MiB != MB != Mb, but people are stupid and marketing works better and so on and it's always been done that way...

And even still, if he's going to round numbers, 1.44 would round to 1.4, anyway, so.. dude should've said "I've got over one megabyte" or even better, "I've got over a million bytes of porn up in thizz dilznisk."

[–]Phrea 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

No no, it's not a question of round numbers.
A 1.44MB diskette will actually only hold 1.38MB of data, unless you compress it.

I know that, but for the purpose of the image itself, it's still just generally incorrect, even without arguing over the available content of the disk, as a limitation of the technology.

[–]Phrea 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Haha, rest assured, I was NOT arguing.
Maybe I should have been a bit more clear on that point. :)

I really really don't care about the precise amount. It's very little, and that's what it is.

Sorry if you thought I was serious. Damn words on teh internet eh. ;)

About a year ago I finally threw out my 8 bit porn I had downloaded in my BBS days.

Most modern web browsers have inline spell checkers. Even more magical.

1.44 technically is more than 1.40

I loved these...

I bought an external floppy drive for my iMac just so I could use these.

[–]WeAllKnowThatOneGuy 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I remember buying a huge plastic box full of these things and being elated. And labeling them things like "DO NOT DELETE". I had a disc for Commander Keen, a disc for some flight sim, a disk for zzt.... ah, nostalgia.

[–]spandario 0 points1 point ago

I remember putting "images" on these. On a good day you could get UP TO 10 thats right count em 10 images.

[–]DaffyDuck 0 points1 point ago

That's all I ever needed. My porn collection expands to 50% of my hard drive space no matter how large that is.

[–]jorellh 0 points1 point ago

I had tools that could format 1.44mb floppys to at least 1.87mb, or even 2.0mb back in the day. This was native, without compression.
