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.

What is this, colored water for ants?

[–]sadpandabbq 20 points21 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

This colored water would have to be at least... 3 times this big!

[–]adelav[S] 4 points5 points ago

yep, colored sugar water for ants with translucent abdomen.

[–]maniacnf 12 points13 points ago

Feed a group of ants one colour and another group another colour, then watch them kill eachother because humans arnt the only racist animal

Pretty awesome though.

You could do Red vs. Blue

[–]vicgolgo13 7 points8 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

And do one pink one... I mean Light Red.

[–]Xanthan81 0 points1 point ago

They tried that, but the ants just spent the whole day arguing over what to call their vehicle (I think 'Puma' won) and the one in light red kept making doilies.

[–]hirashirou 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Would they really? Has it been done?

[–]Davdak 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

If I recall correctly, ants will kill different types of ants. So, if you get two different types of ants, and color-code each one, you could end up with a Red vs Blue type scenario.

Also relevant

And I'll gladly see it again.

[–]Bitemarkz 20 points21 points ago

well i'm glad it's been posted again because I've never seen it.

[–]feureau 29 points30 points ago

This is the first time I've seen it though. Also, it's not polite to complain about reposts.

you've not seen this once? Seriously?

Seriously. It is because reddit is so vast that no one person could have seen everything ever posted. Or even everything that got to the front page.

That, and I actually have a life to live.

Some people actually go outside on weekends... there's shit I miss on reddit all the time because it didn't hit the frontpage while I'm at work.

Every post on this site of sharing links is a repost.

[–]rotzooi 1 point2 points ago

No it isn't, there's quite a bit of original content.

[–]Oiiack 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Regardless... Most of everything is just rehashed ideas. I don't hate it, I love it, I just want to point it out.

[–]el_muerte17 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Can someone explain this to me? I'm assuming the ants were separately fed different colours until they turned that colour, then they automagically chose the same colour to eat from when presented with choices?

[–]itsaghost 0 points1 point ago

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

I'm pretty sure Reddit itself would just shut down if this wasn't posted at least twice a month.

[–]andreidp 0 points1 point ago

This is pretty cool. Now, I want to see the same experiment with rhinos. I'll buy the green one.

Effects of different color dyes on how cool ants look. Probably not peer reviewed.

STOP FUCKING REPOSTING THIS PICTURE.

Seriously, this has been posted in every subreddit at least twice. It's doing my fucking nut in.

Yeah, I've seen it three times over in Spacedicks. Seriously, it has been reposted in every subreddit at least twice.

I wonder if you could do something similar with Bees. That way we could have colored honey. I understand it would probably be easier to just put color in honey but I would like to see if it would work.

What type of ants are these and where can i buy some, i have been looking to start an ant farm.

[–]Whisperacisthings 0 points1 point ago

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

I believe they're honeypot ants. The queens are relatively difficult to get (I imagine) because you have to collect them right after rains. Assuming you collect some, you have to make sure you have a good number because they experience high mortality due to various factors.

Red and yellow are generally considered warm colors, not cool
