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.

so did I, but I was terrible at folding paper, so all of these came out like suicide bombers.

Interesting. Yes, basically. For the one I'm thinking of you basically do the same but you fold lengthwise rather than at an angle like that. Folding it this way might make it easier to throw.

Edit: just noticed but when you fold it longways you don't need the paper to be square.

[–]dtomksoki 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, i make it lengthwise too, but that one was the first link i found.

I had the whole kit as a kid. Came with special paper and a whole book. Epic times ensued.

I had a guide similar to this when I was a kid. Used to impress everyone in 5th grade by making the "canard". Oh, the jeolousy in my classmates eyes, watching my creation glide gracefully through the air...

When I was young, before this police state of schools, they offered aeronautics. We called it paper plane class.

My dad got me a paper airplane book when I was in 3rd grade or so. I was the bane of Ms. Kalis' existence.

I bought a book on "The Ultimate Paper Airplane" that features the Klein-Fogleman airfoil:

It's far from a simple plane to build, but even my sorry teenage attempt saw a paper airplane that flew like nobody's business.

I did know this as a child and I must tell you, it was amazing. Here's the book I have, but the cover of mine is different.

8 + a paperclip, rubber band, and a staple is the best airplane ever. Staple the paperclip in place on the front with the rubber band hooked on it, and I tended to put a staple on the back to hold it together as well. Now you have an airplane that you can launch.

I did have this book as a child. Most of the planes were pretty shitty and couldn't fly.

True story; for DT in Year 8 (aged 13-14) we had a paper aeroplane project. We had to test different designs and colour them in. It lasted 12 weeks.

I took an airplane class when I was younger through our cities park and rec department. It was great because we learned all these different types of planes to fold which made me an Indoor Recess Goddess for years after plus we learned all this shit about aerodynamics.
