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.

But his trashcan is bigger on the inside then it is on the outside he has a pet elephants down there. I as a child always wanted to see what else was down there.

Edit: according to Wikipedia he also had a farm, swimming pool, ice rink, bowling alley, and a piano

So you're telling me my childhood hero was a time lord?

[–]jeff61813 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Its quite possible Wikipedia also says he has a portal to Grouchland his hometown which could be on Gallifrey. I don't remember that but then again its been sometime since I watch sesame street regularity.

I like how instead of simply drawing a white rectangle over the old words to completely erase them and make it look like they were never there, you crudely took a grey brush and scribbled over it.

So I set this as my background (short story that I would make long in order to not tell it). I went to a summer program for 8 weeks.

edit: I should probably credit my source.

You...forgot about your desktop? Do you not see it every time you get on?

Also, I don't see how this would help. Even the thought of things being worse (even if it's well intentioned) makes me stressed.

After I read this post I had to minimize all of my windows to see what my desktop was because I haven't looked at it in forever. I always have a Chrome window maxed out and never see it.

Mine is a little less forgiving.

I actually set my wallpaper to the exact same thing a few months back! What are the odds? I think I got it from the 4chan wallpaper board scraper.

What an awful ideology to live life by. No matter what situation you are in, shit could always be worse. You could be a starving Ethiopian child and there are still ways that life could be worse.

The mentality of shit could be worse is only reserved for sheep who are trying to justify the perpetuation of a shit existence.

Pregnant? No, but i lost my house, uncle and my dad lost his right leg....all in the last 4 months...so yeah...Excuse me for losing my grip....but i came real fucking close to being the grouch myself

And even then, being homeless in a 'devoped' nation is like a luxury compared to somewhere like somalia.
