For an image subreddit with fewer restrictions, check out /r/misc!

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.

  6. No animated images. Please submit them to /r/gif, /r/gifs, or /r/reactiongifs instead.

  • 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.

I used to bury them in house plants. They became land mines, spewing earth as they erupted from their shallow graves.

I remember suction cupping one of these to my forehead. I left it there too long, and had a circular bruise right in the middle of my forehead...damn thing was embarrassing.

Not when you told all your 5th grade friends it was a hickey from this girl up in the middle school... THAT is way more embarrassing when looked back upon.

I did this too, and it popped a perfect circle of blood vessels on my forehead. I can't even blame my age because I was 14 at the time.

Not only was I smart enough to do this to myself during school, during lunch, we enjoyed "capping" other people with this handy tool. While it wasn't a "hickey," it always left a dark red ring on their foreheads.

I would put them on the tips of my thumbs and try to hit things with them. So much fun.

My class had people launching them off their eye. My best friend forgot to close his. Hilarity ensued.

Some kid in one of my classes did that, put it on his eye. Fucked up his eye pretty good; had to wear a pirate eye patch for about 6 weeks.

At least my mate was pretymuch fine afterwards. Bruised his pride more than his eye. Guess he was lucky

[–]sierrabravo1984 0 points1 point ago

I'd say both were pretty lucky; I also knew a kid when I lived in colorado that lost his right eye when he told another kid across the classroom to throw him a pencil...

I loved those things! In fact, I played with my mom's diaphragm thinking it would do the same thing!
