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.

That's what I thought, but apparently enough people don't notice stuff like this.

[–]Skwee 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Why are you guys acting as if the OP didn't notice this even though this post clearly proves that he noticed?

[–]sybert 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yes, the OP noticed, and they deemed it significant enough to post to reddit about it(unless he's just reposting for whatever reason). However, I was referring more to the fact that it has received enough upvotes to rise at least somewhat, and I surmised that the people upvoting (and commenting) didn't notice the sign when watching the movie.

[–]rChan 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Nope, I didn't notice it until the first time it was posted on reddit.

[–]clee-saan 1 point2 points ago

Everyone did.

[–]caseyd1020 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

hmm, I came here to post this. This proves that everyone should have noticed this in the movie the first time they watched it.

[–]pixelbath 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

How could you not? Doc Brown goes into a minor soliloquy talking about "this was all farmland as far the eye could see. Old man Peabody owned all of this. He had this crazy idea about breeding pine trees."

Then Old Man Peabody yells at Marty, "You bastard, you killed mah pine!" as he's driving off.

[–]nosoupforyou 0 points1 point ago

Exactly!

[–]BonzoTheBoss -1 points0 points ago

[–]greg_reddit 38 points39 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's not really attention to detail. I'd call it a small joke the writers put in the movie.

[–]linearcore 38 points39 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's not even a joke, really. It's supposed to be the first real indication that the "future" he has returned to is not the "future" he left from.

It's foreshadowing (however short) that everything could be different this time around.

[–]DeepDuh 12 points13 points ago

I have never noticed that! But, all jokes aside, why name a mall after a single pine tree? It must have been a pretty amazing tree!

[–]sassycrow 11 points12 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The mall was made on Old Man Peabody's land. He had a crazy idea of growing pine trees, and was pretty irate when a space bastard killed one of his two pines. He worshiped the surviving pine.

[–]geek_loser 0 points1 point ago

It's obvious. If you change the past you'll change the future. The past effected the time, not date, of Doc's proposed death.

Time to flex my google fu then:

  1. Zelda/Super Smash
  2. Dead Space
  3. FFVII
  4. FFVI
  5. Fallout?
  6. Metroid
  7. Mass Effect
  8. Shadow of the Colossus
  9. Chrono Chross
  10. Another Zelda
  11. Pokemon (duh)
  12. Metal Gear Solid?
  13. Bastion

Kinda tough at work when most of the gaming sites are blocked.

I know it's because of recent memory, but the Borderlands one somehow pissed me off more than the Sephiroth one. Although in his defense, Sephiroth made me hate him for the entire rest of the game.
