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. I'm just going to leave the room and assume everything went to plan. What?

[–]kinnaq 4 points5 points ago

No, it's cool. I added some sharks with fricken lasers beams attached to their heads to the pool. There's no escape.

The reverse of this would be even better.

Step 1: Hold a pool party and invite lots of rich businessmen and their trophy wives.

Step 2: Let them get comfy in the pool, then ENGAGE UN-POOL MECHANISM!

Step 3: Take photograph of 15-20 beached CEOs and their wives, all soggy, lying on their bellies in an empty room in speedos and bikinis. "Well, this is awkward…"

Step 4: ?????? (probably blackmail)

Step 5: Profit!

Step 6: Learn that hitting return twice moves to the next line.

I remember when it used to be called return. I thought it was universally called enter these days.

[–]pauldy 0 points1 point ago

Mac = return. PC = enter.

[–]foomp 1 point2 points ago

hitting return twice does

this, and hitting "space space return" does
this -- a oh so subtle difference.

Wait... wouldn't the platform be wet?

You'd have to mop up after each use.

EDIT: Found a video of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjELlhaw_-Q

Seems the platform is textured and there's a gap all the way around it for the water, so it's not as seamless as the picture makes it look.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I would hope that a pool surface would be textured to prevent from slipping. The gaps all the way around aren't really THAT noticeable; it just looks like the tile guy was too lazy to grout.

I think the pool handles ruin the seamless aspect the most.

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

So when you raise the floor back up, you end up with water being pushed all over the room?

[–]BrowsOfSteel 7 points8 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Presumably, it raises slowly enough that the water has a chance to get out of the way.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

But then the part of the floor that was the pool is all wet. Seems inconvenient...

[–]chonglibloodsport 6 points7 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Perhaps the floor is made of porous, fast-drying material?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

What kind of material would that be, out of interest? I'm not aware of any.

[–]chonglibloodsport 5 points6 points ago

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

Something similar to Pervious concrete, perhaps? I don't know, I was merely speculating.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

I have but one upvote to give. I will try this when I get home, it sounds like the plan of the millenium.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

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

odd background story to it, my family lived in lybia for a year. Bounties were damn hard to come by (you had to special request at the market and hope the shopper would see some and pick them up). So we hopefully requested through one of the local arabic shops and after a few months the guy hooked us up. Problem was, we had to buy the box as no one else would buy them (to expensive for the locals and they didnt know what they were). Being a desert and f**ing hot we had no choice but to freeze them and by sheer accident and impatience the next day we found out that frozen bounties are fucking bliss, even more so on a stinking hot day.

TL;DR: figured it out by accident while living in lybia.

Either that, or pool your money together.

Chances are, if you haven't seen it before, it cost a butt load.

Well I have a pool that has currents in it so you can swim full speed and stay in the same spot and that costs a 100 grand

I'm wondering this too. The website says "it is covered so heating costs are reduced", seems to me like it's stored underneath the whole time?

I actually found it on loled.net. Not sure of its true source.

So what do you think the time lapse is? I mean, it looks to be like a fancy fung shoe-i japan hotel, a very expensive one. So i'm sure there's a lot of jets that's filling it.

OH! Or even more cool, the water is under the floor, and by lowering it, it just rises over the wood.

[–]heavymetalengineer 1 point2 points ago

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

I think it['s the water is under the floor scenario, which is awesome.

There's no deep end. I am disappointed...

[–]wherestheanykey 0 points1 point ago

It's adjustable. Hypothetically, you could have it drop as far as you're willing to dig.

[–]123GoTeamShake 0 points1 point ago

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

Not really. That may work if the pool bottom was staggered rather than sloped, but the flooring would not be viable if the pool had a sloped base.

[–]wherestheanykey 0 points1 point ago

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

I just meant have the whole thing be the deep end.

If you're free diving, you don't really need a shallow end.
