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.

You've got it all wrong, they're just giving Jamie a surprise cake.

Not sure if this is the case here, but sometimes it's hard to tell if an animal is being cute or is in some distress and is trying to cope with an unusual situation. I hope this animal is just being cute, but you can never tell the entire context from just a picture.

He's actually crying, because that's not his bucket....

WTF is this?

Edit: Manatee. (?)

I guess I'll point out the obvious...manatees are not found on dry land

Walrus? I don't know, it looks like a manatee.

[–]sibane 0 points1 point ago

Probably a walrus. Manatees don't have beards like this one.

This reminds me of when I offer my fat friend some ice cream.

I'd like to know the background here. It really does look like the animal might be responding with embarrassment/happiness at the "cake". But then again... Walruses "as far as I know", don't make sense in that position. And that cake looks light it might be photoshopped. Actually, the whole thing is confusing. I don't know what this is a picture of.

If you had experienced any kind of sea world-like experience you would understand that it's pretty much exactly as it seems. These animals are born in captivity usually, and learn from their surroundings.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

They are trained to do these things so the idiot audience can go "Awwww look he is so cute and human!" and clap and be all excited. It's disgusting.

[–]Earth_man -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

it's disgraceful for the animal to be in captivity

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Not sure why you got downvoted. You speak the truth. Keeping them prisoner for our amusement is sick. And it doesn't matter what breeding and conservation they do that's not an excuse...that stuff can be done without the carnival bullshit.

[–]AduroNox 0 points1 point ago

Meh, on the list of humanities crimes against nature, keeping animals in captivity sits fairly low.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah so let's just ignore it right? It's still fucked up regardless of how much other fucked up shit happens. Your apathy is the problem.

[–]AduroNox 1 point2 points ago

Honestly, nature's a bitch. In captivity, the animals get their needs taken care of, and we get something to gawk at. Win-win.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

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

Horrible rationalization.

[–]Earth_man 0 points1 point ago

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

you're a fucking fuck. I'll keep you in captivity and give you a mirror so you can 'gawk' at yourself. Now there's a win-win.

[–]questionablemoose -1 points0 points ago

For those of you who don't remember, there was an entire saga where this Walrus had his precious bukkit stolen from him. Various sea creatures helped him look for his bukkit.
