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.

They also peck the smallest of their offspring out of the nest. Already quite large, it wanders around below the nest until it dies of starvation.

Perhaps because, as a human being, it's in my nature to feel such emotion?

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points ago

its a slow death for the bird. just because it happens in nature doesn't mean for some people it is a bit intense.

[–]Cyanr 10 points11 points ago

I still find it disturbing because it's so brutal.

[–]tellu2 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I wouldn't go as far as calling it disturbing. It's pretty fucking weird though. I mean a bird eating another bird. That'd be like a fox eating a dog. It just seems wrong on some level :P

I remember seeing something about Pelicans on Discovery's Life series (I think) where they're starting to go after birds instead of fish because there's not enough fish for them.

[–]ShrinkingMudball 0 points1 point ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

What makes you say that? From what I've seen on youtube, eating small birds is pretty typical behavior for pelicans.

edit: example - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGehBKqot3Y

[–]Omnitographer 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I was surprised it ate the bird as well, it just seems so...rough, the beak and feet scratching on the esophagus, the overal dryness of the animal..compared to a wet slippery fish it seems like trying to eat some steel wool.

[–]Timmac -3 points-2 points ago

I had a semi as I started watching that, and shuffle changed the song over to DragonForce... both prevailed as I watched the video.

[–]ParannoyeDreamer 169 points170 points ago

Didn't really want it in the first place.

It didn't say all that. Read his beak. Just said "fuck" as it walked away.

[–]totaldonut 18 points19 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I'm somewhat of an amateur beak reader and I can in fact confirm that that bird said "fuck".

[–]HumerousMoniker 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Are you sure it didn't say "fuck it"? It's only a subtle change.

[–]totaldonut 8 points9 points ago

Hey, who's the amateur beak reader here? Is it you? I thought not.

[–]sushibowl 8 points9 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I am actually an ornithology postgrad working an a thesis concerning beak reading of the family of Psittacidae. Though not entirely the same, the pelican's beak is similar enough that I can confirm with considerable confidence this bird did indeed say "fuck."

[–]2much3Mdustremover 2 points3 points ago

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

I'm sure this bird had valid reasons for walking away abruptly, such as past experience with meals that were too big, or possibly an element of fear and what it perceived as a limited amount of time to act on this opportunity. I admire its decisive behavior, and aspire to be so resolute.
