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.

Our whole universe was in a small fuel tank
That nearly 14 millisecs ago

It all started with the Bic Bang!

then the people getting high in the universe you just created, each create 10,000 other universes, and so on. Imagine it just continues on for infinity in each direction. That means there is no actual beginning or end, only one infinite period of 'now'. maybe im just high, or your a genius.

exactly! like millions of years can go by in the lighter universe in the split second that it takes to create it in our universe. to them, we would appear completely motionless, almost as if time ceased to exist. to us, they would go through all the evolution of the earth and man along with it (not to mention all the other planets with sentient beings) in the blink of an eye.

I've had a few thoughts similar to this coming down from the effects of Nitrous oxide and other drugs many years ago when I played aruond with them.

Recovering from the effects of NO2 I also had such inspiring thoughts as "I know, I know, I know....I lost it" - "Gypsies have eyebrows on their fingertips" and my personal favorite "It's a triangle!".

And inside that tiny universe, hydrogen is being superheated and turning into helium and various other elements. Stars are turning into red giants, elements are landing on warm planets, and life is beginning to take form. Various forms of life are branching off in new directions and learning new things, but one species reigns above all others: Humans. These humans are building cities and learning more about their existence, all the while trying to escape this flick of a universe and figure themselves out. One day, this spark universe will dissolve, leaving all forms of life, all memories and all elements to dissipate into the air of which they were born, and another universe will shortly take its place.

Stars can be fun. A lot of people say: "Donna, you get so wrapped up in the physics of it, don't you have any fun?"

Roll off some of the flint onto the side of your index finger's knuckle, light the flame, hold your hand 4 inches above the lighter and snap. All the flint shavings come off your hand and it makes a really cool little sparkler show.

is this what the entire scale of our existence would look like if compressed into the time it takes to flick a bic? How about in a zero gravity vacuum chamber?

This made me remember when my brother and I were kids and we would get large quartz rocks and bang them together to see the sparks.

If you want to see more amazing, hold it open for a few seconds to let some fumes out, then light it. The amazing crackling result is that picturex10

You now are unbelievably aware that we are experiencing this in super slow motion on the end of God's Bic.

According to Stephen Hawking, you spawn a full-size universe too.

Well we're all boned. I hope whoever flicked us into existence at least did something cool with the lighter like lighting a firecracker.

You should keep grinding the wheel, tap out all of the dust on a table, then light your lighter, and sprinkle the dust on the flame. WINNING.

holy shit, what if when someone flicks a lighter, it actually DOES create a whole universe, and for that universe, that was the big bang, and its there till it flicks out, like, during that second, that was billions of years for that universe, from creation to extinction....woah...

Awesome! I'm an animator and I've totally though about developing a short about this. Where the viewer zooms away from earth, out o our galaxy, and out of the universe only to see that through relativity it all has happened in the flick of a lighter and someone sparks a joint.

If you roll the wheel around a few times before lighting, you'll get more sparks.
