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.

If you can read this message you are more fortunate than three billion people in the world who cannot read it at all.

And how many of those are strictly because they can't read English?

One would assume it simply means that 3 billion people in the world are completely illiterate, however going over the math, I found that 16% of the world-population is illiterate, and therefore only 1,095,662,512 people.

I was thinking perhaps 3 billion who don't have Internet access, but that sounds too high... what do I know though?

One would assume that if one did not pay particular attention to how the the statement was worded. I just like pointing out examples of how data can be accurate but still be presented in such a way as to give a different impression.

This sounds like something rich people say to keep the middle class from murdering them.

Yeah let's make a sign for them so they can stop using anti-depressants and drinking 800$ bottles of scotch.

That poster was made by the rich elite to keep you suckers from getting uppity.

Being able to read English is considered extremely fortunate?..................

How accurate are these stats anyway?

Here i was hating the rich; turns out, relatively speaking, I am the rich. Now what?

You're actually already on the right track. Hate those with more-- try to get more.

The fact that 3 billion people are illiterate is plain wrong.

("According to UNESCO, in the world today there are about 1 billion non-literate adults.")[http://www.sil.org/literacy/litfacts.htm]

("There are 774 million adults around the world who are illiterate in their native languages.")[http://www.proliteracy.org/page.aspx?pid=345]

It's all relative.

Yeah. No complaining until your entire life is in the shitter. You are living in the gutter, eating garbage, sleeping in a cardboard box next to thousands of other people that are in the same predicament.

I'm fairly certain many of these numbers are made up.

That doesn't mean you should stop trying to make things better. I'm sick of this excuse used for everything.
