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.

You don't even need Snopes. The moon and sun are the same frickin' size in the sky. They aren't in this "picture".

[–]Rikkety 1 point2 points ago

That's what made me look. Snopes confirmed.

Was about to say it looks like it was made in Terragen but your link makes that comment. Oh the hours I wasted playing around in Terragen instead of doing homework...

I am so sick of seeing this "picture."

[–]tttt0tttt 16 points17 points ago

The Sun and the Moon appear to be of the same diameter as seen from Earth, so this picture must be a composite.

[–]s34nsm411 7 points8 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

do you honestly think the moon is 100x bigger looking than the sun from earth?

cause if so, I have a bridge for sale...

It's a cool photo, but you can tell just by looking at it that it's a fake.

[–]El_Snuffy 6 points7 points ago

Yeah, the pixels.

Downvote for unoriginal Photoshopped bollocks.

[–]Enigma776 1 point2 points ago

Not so much a photoshop as it is a Bryce 3D rendered image I could knock out something like that in a matter of minutes.

[–]soapisgood 2 points3 points ago

I would like this. Can you make one with two moons please?

I would very much like to see this.

[–]calloodles 5 points6 points ago

Fake. Tired of seeing this everywhere.

[–]Turboboxer 2 points3 points ago

I saw this years ago obviously obviously obvious that it is CGI

This is Terragen. Made by Planetside Software.

Downvote to oblivion. I work near the north fucking pole and this does not science. fuck you. Edit: Even that far North, sorry to say, the moon still phases from a left to right fashion.

If I was a polar bear I'm sure that would be my favorite part of the day.

Does this make anyone else think of Joy Orbison - Hyph Mngo?

i had this picture years ago...never even bothered to look up where it is

[–]radula 0 points1 point ago

It is not anywhere real.

[–]mirthquake -4 points-3 points ago

The sun would have to be almost directly behind the earth in order to cast such a large shadow on the moon. This view is impossible.

[–]itsbearnotbar 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

That's not how the moon works. You are thinking of an eclipse, which looks quite different.

[–]mirthquake -2 points-1 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

So if the sun and moon were in fact in the positions that this photograph suggests, what would provide the light that illuminates the sliver of the moon?

[–]davepearson 2 points3 points ago

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

Keep in mind that the above is not a photograph. However.... very thin crescent and decrescent lunar phases are illuminated by the Sun, as is pointed out above, it has nothing to do with the Earth's shadow.

wow, some day I want to see the moon that big in person. Were I life it is so small compared how it looks there.

[–]BisforBM 2 points3 points ago

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

The only place the moon looks that big is in space. The picture is fake.

[–]Bluedemonfox 1 point2 points ago

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

There are still other places on earth were the moon looks bigger than in other places.

[–]BisforBM 0 points1 point ago

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

That has nothing to do with what I said.

[–]Bluedemonfox 0 points1 point ago

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

I know and I knew the picture was fake because I looked in comments and searched it afterwards. So I was still refering to other places. Even if hat pic was real I doubt I'd ever visit the north pole in my life. I just wanted to clarify.
