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.

  • Neither the people in prison or public school want to be there
  • You are constantly being told when and where to go, and can't leave of your own free will.
  • If you get in trouble you will have to see the Warden/Principal
  • If you piss off the guards or teachers you will have extra work to do
  • 6x9 cell with one cellmate = 20 x 20 classroom with 25 classmates
  • One hour a day in the yard for exercise
  • Punishment in prison - solitary, punishment in school - detention
  • In school you learn how to pass notes and not get caught, in prison you learn how to pass a shank and not get caught
  • Cigarettes are as good as cash
  • The weak will be broken down and tormented by the strong
  • Some school uniforms are less fashionable than prison uniforms

Even better if you live near a Gordon Food Service store that is open to the public. It's like a Sam's Club/CostCo of restaurant food.

BTW, the GFS gummi bears are from the Albanese Candy Factory in Indiana, and they are some amazing gummi bears (the type they sell at Macy's and other high end dept stores).

In Poland and Ukraine, can't vouch for other countries, corn is actually a very popular topping to put on pizza. Most of my friends were disgusted with such practice, but i didn't mind, ate it with no problems, actually quite good.

Wait a second, you guys get all that? According to other replies, you pay only $1.00??

What the shit? In Canada, the Catholic school board "outsources" our cafeterias to this overcharging service called "Nella's", and I kid you not, a plate about the size in that picture costs us $5.50 CDN.

Edit*: I'm in my junior year in highschool [grade 11].

Edit 2** : I didn't mention the fact that we don't get juice / milk / pop or anything of the sort, without some crazy $1.50+ surcharge, $2.50 for a "medium" carton of milk [size of a pop can].

Edit 3*** : Yes and no. This is a 'challenge' novelty account. I only post when I'm able to successfully include "Wait a second" somewhere in the post. However, that being said : EVERY POST I MAKE IS REAL AND SHOULD BE TAKEN AT FACE VALUE!

On a side note : unfortunately, the power of bagged milk has limitations! We could not ever hope to eliminate our poor with just bagged milk. [They began getting smarter and actually opening the bags of milk instead of choking on them. I kid, don't eat me.]

It depends on the state and your economic status. At my school we paid like 75 cents, I think. This was in the early/mid 90s, though. Things were slightly more expensive in junior high, and a good bit more expensive in high school.

I knew a bastard that would take that pizza, every Friday, and absolutely smother it in French dressing. He would then eat it with a fork until he had slopped up enough to pick it up with his hands, and then he'd shove the rest in his mouth all at once.

That pizza was still delicious, though. I just resolved to eat outside after it became apparent week after week that he wasn't going to stop.

I... I can't even...
I feel so sorry for you.
If that was in school: How can any parent condone this? This is a terribly unbalanced meal! No real salad, sugary chocolate milk, peach (juice or salad) with a ton of sugar, then a pizza, probably made with analogue cheese (no real cheese), a side order of corn out of a can and a bun, packed in plastic.

So, with the pizza, the corn and the bread, you have three times "bread". This most certainly leads to most people disposing of the bread. Stuff that others would be happy to eat. Stuff that took gallons of gas to be cropped, transported and processed.

This, dear OP, to think that you have stuffed your face with this for thirteen years, made my eyes watery.

Again, my empathy goes to you, poor soul. If I were religious, I would include you in my prayers to not die early of a heart attack. But I am not, so I just sit here. Weeping for you.

I can only hope that humanity (and maybe america as well) will learn that this is suicide, but who am I kidding.

This is an honest from the heart post. No sarcasm or anything.

What country are you from? In the US, this is uniform school lunch in the public school system. The food is of the absolute lowest quality (while still being legal) and will give you diarrhea like it's nobody's business.

Switzerland. Why would a government want their future taxpayers to be sickened and weakened by providing them bad nutrition?

I used to ask myself the same question. Then I remembered the school system treats it's students like cattle, so they might as well feed them like cattle as well.

[–]probably_a_bitch 27 points28 points ago

The reason for these atrocious meals is that the government is required to feed children a certain amount of calories. If students are poor, this may be the only thing they eat all day and lots of carbs helps meet the requirements.

You need more upvotes. Some people don't give a shit about their kids and school lunch is their only meal because their parents spend food money on drugs instead.

That was a tad dramatic, but I agree with you (also, it was from the heart, how can I object to that!). I understand that fat/fast-food is the easiest food to prepare for a whole hall of kids but still, who thought it would be a good idea to serve children fast food five days a week? Is this standard across the U.S.?

I'm curious what the situation is in other countries around the world. I'm Dutch and everyone I know brought their own, prepared sandwiches to school every day. Maybe not an extremely healthy choice (nutella, sprinkles, meat, cheese, jelly, etc.), but definitely not very damaging either. Sure, there was a small cafeteria where you could buy something greasy but this was for most of the kids (in my experience) more exception than rule. Any worldcitizens care to share their experiences?

I grew up very poor in America. School lunch was something like 0.50$ for breakfast and 1.25$ for lunch. I could eat two meals a day for under 10$ a week. When mom quit sending me lunch money I got on the free lunch program. It had a different colored card, so it came with a stigma that I was poor (Something that I tried very, very hard to avoid). If food wasn't provided at school so cheap/ free, I wouldn't have eaten most days.

Thank you for your reaction. It sounded harsh and it helped me to better understand the situation in the US. So is the choice for fat-heavy food in American school simply a matter of cost? Because more green, perishable products are expensive?

(Sidenote: I hope you're in a more comfortable financial situation nowadays brother! All the best.)

[–]Dawnbreaka 3 points4 points ago

It's true that providing US children with healthy, balanced food would be more expensive and we don't have the resources for that. There are too many missiles to buy, so the little ones will have to make due. Have you seen how awesome our cruise missiles are? So badass.

Because of the nation's large agricultural output, the producers of staples such as grains, dairy, meat and corn are very large organizations. Over the years they have used their power to secure subsidies, which originally were intended to keep small farmers from being destroyed in bad years. So the fast-food diet becomes cheaper to eat than foods such as green vegetables.

There is an increasing amount of awareness about this and pressure to change it, but the farming corporations remain powerful.

In Australia we took our own lunch to school. There is a cafeteria which we call a 'tuck shop' but the majority of kids bring lunch and get treats from the tuck shop.

At my niece's school she usually buys frozen oranges at lunch in summer. I think most schools here have moved to ban high fat, sweets and fast food from the tuck shop but there may be some exceptions lurking where you can buy pies, sausage rolls, pizza etc.

They actually do come with salad FYI. He, probably like myself, hates salads.

[–]jambo2011 4 points5 points ago

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

Many people don't like salad and eat it, because they are told to. IMHO the reason for this is bad preparation of salad which makes it taste blend and bad. Most industrially processed salad is also grown in turbo-mode to get bigger, faster which results in tastelessness. The taste of a fresh salad with homegrown salad is a very enjoyable food.

Nothing against good pizza, though :-)

Ugh. So much food got wasted on Fridays. Everyone would eat the pizza, drink chocolate milk and throw away the salad, fruit and green bean salad that came with it. In our defense though, I don't know who thought it was a good idea to serve shitty cold green bean salad to elementary school students.

This meal is entirely corn-based. Corn syrup is in at least the chocolate milk, the cup of fruit, and the cookie. Probably in the pizza dough, too. Actually, the dough is most likely corn-based, rather than wheat-based.

Oh, and the cow that milk was taken from? Corn-fed.
