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), weight loss photos, posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. Weight loss photos go in /r/loseit, 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.

If you like this picture, there's a great documentary on netflix called 'Trinity and Beyond' that has a lot of info following the history of bombs like this.

Some site from a while back. I can't remember but it has a crap load of rage comics that you can sift through and this was randomly dumped in with the comics and I love it.

Air burst. There are 3 settings for most large bombs: air, ground and below ground...there are technical terms, but I can't remember them off the top of my head.

I have this as my wallpaper on both my home desktop and my phone.

I believe it's a French test.

edit - I'm lying it's not a my desktop nor is it French. The French one is on my desktop... (It is on my phone however..)

If this is a pacific test those atolls and their peoples have had radiation problems ever since. My high school physics teacher (1971) was a scientist (top secret clearance) back then and was there at the time. I didn't know that until 2008 when I got to meet him again by chance. Amazing the depth of individuals that we may never know. What a scary (Shiva unleashed) and awesome photo!

Is this from the Tsar Bomba dropped by the Soviets?

[–]NotYourCity 2 points3 points ago

Tsar Bomba was dropped on Novy Zemlya in the Arctic Sea. This is a tropical test.
