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:

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.

Me too, for some 5 years now. Spiderweb lacing is my favorite.

[–]jadewolf 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Love the spiderweb, but I find the ladder variant holds tighter towards the toe of the shoe.

also . . . this is the only way I tie my shoes now.

That one is awesome, I like the fact it includes actual reasons to do this instead of just fashion.

I liked how useless and (hideous) most of them were except for 1 or 2 knots.

H. DISPLAY for all my shoes.

[–]Capolan 1 point2 points ago

"ladder" is actually an old school paratroop method for combat boots. each "loop" is an overhand knot and it gives you the ability to make boots conform in very specific places based on which loop you tighten or losen.

Ladder will get your boots tighter than any other lacing method. Its a big reason why originally laces for combat boots are so damn long as ladder doubles the amount of lace you need.

What the hell kind of order is this in?!?

EDIT: I was looking for one called "normal" and apparently that is called "display"

as you can see from this old photo the OP put up, this was first posted to reddit in the late 1960s.

[–]Humma_Kavula 1 point2 points ago

You could do that, or you could stop being seven, and lace your shoes like a normal person.

What is the best way to tie them to keep the tongue from always sliding down to the side?

Use Velcro, problem solved.

[–]LaughingStoic 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It never occurred to me that I could or ought to tie my shoelaces a different way than the one I was taught when I could barely walk. This was a mindfuck.

Your friends will thank you too because now they'll have two more things to make fun of the next time they see your dumb laces.

I've rocked the lattice pattern for a few years now, it's unbelievable how many compliments you get when your shoelaces are awesome.

I spent four minutes choosing my favorite before realizing my shoes don't have laces.
