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.

"money in the bank" fallacy

what about first worlders who are in debt 5 or 6 figures?

"See that homeless man right there, that man has more money than I do!" - Donald Trump after filing Bankruptcy, he was in the hole for millions of dollars.

Being "in the hole" doesn't mean you don't have the assets to sell to get out of the hole. Just means you can't pay off your debt in cash. And if you do have money in the bank, yes you are richer than most.

Right well I am not Donald Trump.

The money I owe in student loans far exceeds the total value of all my assets. And I can't sell my education.

So I have money in the bank, what of it?

Still richer than most. That's the point.

While interesting, people will unfortunately use info like this to say things like "Look how good you have it, stop complaining." which is an incredibly dangerous way of looking at the world. If all you have to do to justify your treatment of a group of people is to point out another group somewhere in the world who are worse off, you could support all manner of inequality, oppression and human atrocity. "It could be worse," is not a reason to stop speaking out.

3 Billion people in the world cannot read? I would also like sources but the graphic is great!

If you don't give sources I won't read you infographic. I am the 1%.

Had to check my wallet to see if I was in the 8% or not.

If you think having it better off than other people means you shouldn't confront inequality and injustice right in front of you then you are a moron.
