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.

Why so many buttons? Couldn't they have one nice screen with a bunch of apps?

[–]eternalkerri 2 points3 points ago

your computer you are posting from is more powerful than the shuttles computer.

Ha ha, I remember in high school (mi 90s) we boxed up a bunch of old 8088 and 8086 parts and sent them to NASA because they needed spares for the shuttles.

[–]abledanger 1 point2 points ago

Jokes on you. The shuttle uses 5 redundant IBM AP-101s.

The shuttle software is written in HAL/S, a special-purpose high-level language

Dave, what are doing Dave?

I think I read they decided not to upgrade the shuttle computers because of reliability. The old machines were tested and work so... if it ain't broke don't fix it. Also ripping out the old wiring and tech from a shuttle to upgrade it would be a nightmare.

It's worth noting that this image is a composite image created before that cockpit ever went to orbit [citation].

Awww, still cool though. Had this photo for awhile, didn't remember where I found it.

That answers that. Trying to figure out why stars could be seen without an atmosphere, and was really intrigued to think whatever air was contained inside was "enough" to see them.

[–]clee-saan 0 points1 point ago

What the eff are you talking about ? You don't need an atmosphere to see the stars. Why would the light produced by a fusion reaction thousands of lightyears away need to go through a thin layer of gaz in order to be percieved by the light sensors on your retina ?

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

Poorly-worded sarcasm. I have a friend that after 16 or so years is finally off of the moon landing hoax bandwagon, and he used to come out with that one all the time. Moon has no atmosphere = no filter to "catch" the light, or something along those lines.

You'd think with common sense and the Internet it wouldn't stick, but he'd always say things like "Well there are counterarguments for everything so the closest I'll ever get is being on the fence."

So I told him about these. He had no idea, and I had just assumed he knew and didn't care.

[–]bandman614 0 points1 point ago

He spent 16 years assuming we faked the moon landing but a couple of reflective mirrors convinced him?

No offense to you, but I think the force is weak with your friend, if you know what I'm saying.

That's ok, I know how it goes. I've got a friend who just bought an amber necklace for his baby to help her through teething. No, she doesn't chew on it, just wearing it is supposed to help. :-/

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

He's always been extremely competitive with me, but tries to do it in passive ways -- I think if he believed something he knew I never could, and felt he had evidence that could justify those beliefs, then he had "won." That and his endless stream of girlfriends. He's gotten more mature about that, though.

I only have two thoughts filed away on amber. 1) Pretty color! and 2) Jurassic Park. The force might not be too strong with me, either =)

Funny. When I saw it, the first thing I said was, "Did you check it for insects so we can make Dinosaurs?"

Something that crossed my mind while looking at it was it almost had a steampunk feel to it. Oldfashioned and futuristic at once

are you a bad enough dude to use a hex numpad?

[–]mrsix 1 point2 points ago

You can do this yourself with orbiter

I immediately thought of A-10C Warthog DCS. Welp.

Exactly why I just sit somewhere and watch them fly. (In a movie)

Looks remarkably similar to an airliner cockpit.

After skimming the space camp op manual I can safely say that I would crash the living shit out of that thing.

OMG its the AS/400. I never want to see that green screen again. As a programming Major RPG IV was a nightmare.
