For an image subreddit with fewer restrictions, check out /r/misc!

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.

  6. No animated images. Please submit them to /r/gif, /r/gifs, or /r/reactiongifs instead.

  • 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.

Where does ass load fall into that scale?

I would guess between ton and a hell of a lot.

Pant Load = Shit Ton.

[–]ElephantRider 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I think a pant load would be a little smaller than a shit ton, like a shit ton is when the load exceeds the capacity of your pants and becomes everyone's problem.

Shit Ton is my personal choice. I wanna make a shit ton of money.

[–]porkpie-hat -1 points0 points ago

Why make a shit ton when you can make a fuck ton? Why make a fuck ton when you can make a metric fuck tonne?

[–]RichardPeterJohnson 1 point2 points ago

Why make trillions when we can make ... billions?

Pirate edit: changed punctuation mark.

Earlier this evening I explained something to be "a shit-fuck-ton." Was I just mixing my measurements?

[–]painahimah 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

My version is as follows: Metric Fuck Ton > Fuck Ton > Shit Ton > Shit Load > A bunch > a few > a couple > one.

[–]dragoneye 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Not quite, you are forgetting the two different imperial fuck tons

Long fuck ton > Metric fuck tonne > Short fuck ton > Shit ton ...

[–]A_Twilight_Zone 0 points1 point ago

Hmm, what about cubic shit ton?

[–]Bladelink -1 points0 points ago

Well I'm glad we got that sorted out.

The rarely used metric butt tonne is even larger.

[–]pseudolobster 18 points19 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

In metric, it's the fuck-tonne.

[–]AduroNox 11 points12 points ago

My boss in grad school used the unit of "puchnac" prounounced poo-schnock". He defined it as 1/2 of a CH, which was thusly defined as a 'cunt hair'. He was a vulgar man...

[–]ninjaface[S] 4 points5 points ago

You guys were working at the opposite side of the spectrum. Very small.

I like to imply three dimensions.

Cubic Shit Ton

[–]lysa_m 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

If you think of the ton as a unit of mass, then a cubic ton is like mass cubed, which in natural units (choose your favorite system) is equivalent to inverse volume. So that implies, in some sense, negative three dimensions.

Alternately, the ton is a unit of force, which goes as kg m/s2 , which ends up being inverse time, squared – which is the same as inverse length squared (since distance and time are related by the conversion factor c, a.k.a., the speed of light). So then the cubic ton would be negative six dimensions of length.

The metric fuckton is twice as big ;)

[–]breetai 0 points1 point ago

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

I thought the quick rule of thumb was to double it and add 30?

[–]westherm 1 point2 points ago

I had a professor in engineering mechanics: "We'll put a load on this structure...what's a good sized load?" A student replied "A metric shit-ton" The professor replies "One metric ton of shit, very good" and draws a vector labeled 9810 N

[–]Dave_Rules 1 point2 points ago

Isn't the term "shit ton?" downvote for saying "Pop" instead of "Soda"

I thought that a fuckton was a measure of awkwardness.

[–]breetai 0 points1 point ago

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

No, it's the fundamental particle of awkwardness. A high fuckton charge will generate a field that repels women/men/POAS.

Did you know there is a quantifiable difference between the metric fuck ton and the imperial fuck tonne?

[–]Stratonovich 0 points1 point ago

My favourite is bitch-load.

I prefer the smoot.

[–]zenstic 0 points1 point ago

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

agreed.

a few years ago within my group of friends we established that a shit load is 17 tons, and that a fuck ton was 46 tons, a metric fuck ton varies from 73-85 tons.

i mean really, 17 tons of anything is a hell of a lot, even lead, 46 tons is getting really serious.

'A shit ton?' 'Yeah, it's halfway between a shitload and metric fuck-ton.'

Metric or Standard?

Is this the same as a Shit Ton or a Butt Load?

[–]Starfleeter 0 points1 point ago

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

I believe ButtTon is more commonly known.

[–]MrMustang 0 points1 point ago

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

i apologize that i cant remember exactly how, but a former teacher of mine explained how a butt load was an actual unit of measurement. she also could have been being a troll...

[–]pseudolobster 0 points1 point ago

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

Apparently it's equal to a US butt Mesopotamian load, or 1 Mesopotamian load US butts.

Yeah.

[–]willcode4beer 0 points1 point ago

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

I believe the term is a Full Metric Shit Ton. A ButtTon is only half a Fuck Ton.

[–]CommaCommaCommaComma 0 points1 point ago

African or European?

I mean, metric or imperial?

4 crap loads = 1 shitload 4 shitloads = 1 assload 4 assloads = 1 fuck ton
