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.

Those are adorable. I want to eat them. Not because I want them to die, but because I want them to be a part of me forever.

Yeah, until they fucking kill you. The damn things are poisonous. ಠ_ಠ

The venom is not lethal to humans. You will just experience the most excruciating pain possible. There is no pain medication in the whole world that can alleviate the pain. You will still be in some pain weeks to months after being exposed to the venom. Good luck, have fun!

[–]paperd 0 points1 point ago

But it would be that kinda good pain, right?

[–]antonbe 0 points1 point ago

I don't know if I can say that that's better than dying from the venom.

Is there such a thing as a non duck-billed platypus?

[–]chimpington 5 points6 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

here in Australia we just call them platypuses. I don't know why yanks had to add the duck-bill lol.

[–]dropbear 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I always imagine something like this, 'Platypus, Which Australian animal are they? The hedgehog ones or the fat ones?'. ' No they're the duck billed ones'. Same goes with Koala 'bears'.

[–]someb0dy 1 point2 points ago

As opposed to narwhal-billed platypuses.

Not really, more of a triumph of natural selection. Those motherfuckers a primed for thier environment.

From the wikipedia on on Irregular plurals

platypus platypuses (same as octopus: platypi occurs but is etymologically incorrect, and platypodes, while technically correct, is even rarer than octopodes)

  1. That is incredibly cool.

  2. When do they grow the little poisonous spurs?

[–]somerandomguy255 -1 points0 points ago

I was wondering about #2 as well. They might be female.

I feel like platypuses are like linux. They have a bunch of modules attached to them that really dont seem to fit with the overall scheme of things.


"What's that?"

"Hmm? Oh just lib_lay_eggs. I was trying a weekend project and I haven't bothered to remove it. Works great though."

*"And the... ummm spur things?" *

"Oh yea, the poison spurs. Yea memories from my old blackhat days. Still come in handy every once in a while. Looking to upgrade them to projectiles though."

[–]mrbroom -1 points0 points ago

A common misconception. There is no official name for a baby platypus. The word 'puggle' has made its way around the Internet largely because it sounds cute.

Just... be wary of their poison foot-spike...
