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.

Billions of kids? They've helped BILLIONS of kids read? Did they also teach you hyperbole?

They taught me to make exaggerated approximations.

did they teach millions of kids to post this picture on reddit?

Why teach millions of kids when you can teach... Billions?

This makes my arms hurt just looking at it. Not only my arms, but also my heart. There's no more magic.

I watch the modern sesame street with my kids. It actually has improved in efficacy for learning and entertainment. They still do a great job. I miss Jim. Frank is great too!

I have a 22mo son, and he loves SS, as well. They also play the old episodes, the ones I saw as a kid. Kinda crazy seeing that on TV.

Ours turned 2 yrs. yesterday. If it were not for the endless repetition of the alphabet and numbers, our kiddo would be way further behind. Parents just can't repeat the alphabet as many times as SS can without going insane. They do a great job.

They didn't just teach reading skills. This helped TRILLIONS of children become well adjusted, despite living in ABSOLUTE POVERTY. (I say this sarcastically, but I'm serious)

DEAR GOD WHY DO THEY HAVE THEIR ARMS UP BERT AND ERNIE'S ASSES?!?!?!?!!

[–]redfive5tandingby 1 point2 points ago

I recently wanted to make a joke about the whole Bert and Ernie controversy after Sesame Street reps insisted they're not gay. It would've been something like "Someone who only works when a guy's hand is up his ass isn't just gay, he's a prostitute." But then I realized it was in horrible taste and so I said nothing. Until now.
