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.

Cats are more likely to survive falls from heights greater than 3 stories than they are to survive heights of lesser altitude. It has to do with the time at which they reach terminal velocity and the amount of time it takes themselves to self-right mid air and prepare to land.

Cool story bro.

The more you know:

"When the vets analyzed the data they found that, as one would expect, the number of broken bones and other injuries increased with the number of stories the cat had fallen — up to seven stories. Above seven stories, however, the number of injuries per cat sharply declined. In other words, the farther the cat fell, the better its chances of escaping serious injury."

TIL. Thanks for pointing that out.

I used to live on the 14th floor of my apartment building, technically 13th floor and my cat did this all the time, all it takes is one gust of wind or one bird to catch his eye, dunno what finally got him but our downstairs neighbour saw him on patio of a bottom floor apartment and told us. Never let an animal out on a balcony since.

In other words, the farther the cat fell, the better its chances of escaping serious injury.

The error in that logic is that when a cat falls 10 stories and dies you don't take it to the vet.

The vet was doing controlled studies, by throwing the cats off themselves.

Also more business for them.

This makes me nervous

FTFY, nervous and anxious mean different things (Thank you, Lemony Snicket).
