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.

I miss him too. Nobody before or since has been able to get people excited and interested in animal conservation. His love for them, and all of them, was infectious.

The world is a sadder place without Steve Irwin.

Plus: he created one of the most awesome zoo's on the face of the earth.

Crazy fucker was awesome.

I will never forget the first time I saw his show and I was like "this guy is ridiculously close to that croc," then suddenly, he jumps on the fucking thing and starts wrestling it.

Instant fan for life.

I used to be very cynical about this guy - and as an Australian I found him to induce massive amounts of cultural cringing...

but then I had a chance to visit hi zoo - and found a whole lot of respect for him. As OTT as he was, he really cared about those animals, and his zoo/wildlife park is one of the most well-thought-out animal parks I've visited.

So yes, I still don't much like his TV shows or 'persona' but I do respect him a whole lot.

I didn't watch cartoons when I was little, I watched croc files and the crocodile hunter :(

Steve Irwin was my hero. I watched his show religiously and bought his movie even though everyone said it was awful. Saddest day ever when he died. The world is a worse place because of his passing.

True story: My son was born on the same day Steve Irwin left this Earth.

One day I hope he'll get to see a bit of why we keep telling him about it (He's turning 5 in a couple weeks, so he's just about ready ...).

I saw his show on there last week! Made my day.

[–]swedishdelight -1 points0 points ago

He'd still be here if he hadn't spent his life fisting crocodiles and raping stingrays. But then again, someone has to do that as well.

[–]Luc20 0 points1 point ago

He died doing what he loved doing, and that was documenting wildlife, not raping it, dumbass.

anyone know where to get his "last" video? i still haven't seen it :(

[–]BoiledEggs[S] 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The video was given to his wife Terri, and she said publicly that it had been destroyed. via Wiki

[–]atworktemp 0 points1 point ago

in a way, i feel like he would have wanted people to watch it.. but i can see how that could be considered disrespectful to his family

[–]damnshoes 0 points1 point ago

the video would have been all over those gore sites.

He shared his passion with his friends and family instead of getting wrapped up in the rest of the world that was destroying what he loved

Steve Irwin was an embarrassment to most Australians. I could not to stand to watch such a fake TV personality.
