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.

  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.

lol, they should alternate between that, a floppy disk, and a 56k modem...

...And a pager...

[–]dlgeek 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I actually carry a real honest-to-god pager for my job (on shifts).

It has like a 50 char limit or something, and a max of 32 message to be stored. It was purchased a year ago...

[–]TlCKETS 0 points1 point ago

That one's fancy. I've only seen ones that store phone numbers.

For the visually impaired, the audio verification is to identify what this sound comes from.

I never understood why these things didn't have a volume on-off button...

13 year olds shouldn't be on reddit. This is why.

Uh, are you supposed to put in your age or "VHS cassette."

Asks two questions, gives one space.

[–]I-RAPE-CHILDHOODS 14 points15 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Or just "VHS"?

All age verification is pointless anyways. Ever since websites began doing it I have ALWAYS put in the oldest age possible (which is usually a birth year of 1900). I would like to see some statistics of which birth years are entered on sites. I would assume anywhere from 20-50% of people enter the earliest possible birth year.

[–]IterativeLoop 9 points10 points ago

Relevant.

[–]MachJT 4 points5 points ago

http://blackacrebrewing.com/home/ also relevant (click under 21).

[–]I-RAPE-CHILDHOODS 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

That was awesome! I can't say there would have been any reason for me to view the actual website, but the 'under 21' button led to a very enjoyable video. I watched the whole thing.

[–]Boolderdash 3 points4 points ago

Enjoy the full version!

(Wadsworth's constant applies)

[–]jdosbo5[S] 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I saw that link a few weeks ago. That under 21 button on that website might be the best single thing that I have ever found on reddit. Hysterical.

[–]jdosbo5[S] 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I was actually thinking of that exact onion article when I saw this

[–]Stiggy1605 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Valve's head honcho Gabe Newell revealed in an odds-defying statement today that 93% of Steam users were born on January 1st.

(Pretty sure the article is satire/parody, but it's probably quite accurate even if it is made-up)

[–]buddha_nigga 15 points16 points ago

I'm 15 and that's a video tape for a vcr

[–]Randomacts 12 points13 points ago

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

I second this.. I also know what a floppy disk I have used one before And could prob figure out what a 56k modem looks like.

Oh and they are still useing VHS at schools.. And I have seen castes tapes every so often..

[–]Silbernemond 28 points29 points ago

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

eh, at least when I was 15 I could spell cassette tape.

[–]Randomacts 5 points6 points ago

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

Auto correct didn't know how to correct it... And fuck it.. its a cassette tape.

[–]Howisdiscool 6 points7 points ago

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

Perhaps you meant the caste system of lore?

[–]meant2live218 4 points5 points ago

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

But do you know why they're called floppy disks?

[–]Randomacts 4 points5 points ago

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

The old ones where seriously flimsy and flopped alot?

[–]meant2live218 5 points6 points ago

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

Sort of.

Initially, floppy disks were only big floopy sheets that could store data.

The "newer" floppy disks (3.5 inch) can still be opened, revealing the "floppy" portion. And now you know.

[–]superhappyphuntyme 1 point2 points ago

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

i used to love taking floppys apart when i was done with them. i could have reused em, but what's the fun in that?

[–]Randomacts 0 points1 point ago

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

Wait, so its a CD like thing in there? I'll assume it worked more like a HDD's Disk then a optical disk.

[–]meant2live218 0 points1 point ago

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

It's a floppy magnetic film. Think if someone made a perfectly circular photo film; that's the general idea, except it reacts to magnets instead of light.

[–]Randomacts 0 points1 point ago

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

Cool, I'll never have use for a floppy and have not had a computer with one for years but still ....

The more you know...

[–]I_just_read_it 0 points1 point ago

Really?

I can read... its an Atari 830 .. does not look like it plays games... A modem? For Online/voice??

[–]I_just_read_it 0 points1 point ago

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

Close. That is what is known as an 'acoustic coupler'. One would dial the no. of the modem bank, and after the 'squeal' came on; plug the handset into the two round receptacles.

You would then be connected at a glorious 300 bps. You could then read bulletin board text at a (very) slow crawl.

That one's a repost too, the original was up a few months back, had the full picture like this one does. I'll try to find it.

I am 16, and I used VHS tapes up until I was 8

[–]WhatIsThatThing 7 points8 points ago

Let me let you in on a little secret of the adult world: none of these websites actually care if you're over 18 or not.

Yeah i'm sure most 15 year olds have never seen one of these before in their lives. /sarcasm.

I know what this is. Does that make me older than my dad? (my dad used them; I also used them as bookmarks).
