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.

Start making up interesting things.

Stop mid-sentence and say, "it's not interesting, never mind." More likely than not the person/people will feel obligated to say, "No, really, go on!" People like to be polite. Then, go on... for as long as possible. TEACH THEM!

Yeah, I used to be a VERY bad storyteller. Go with this: Realize story is uninteresting "...and then I found $50. Who wants another round?! On me." You win.

You can always finish the story with "and then I jerked off" or "and then I found $5."

Stop in the middle, and replace the end with: "Ehhh... So, anyway, you want a beer?"

All is instantly forgiven.

Stop mid-sentence and stare at a spot behind them, slowly open your eyes a tiny bit larger. When they turn around quickly dive down and crawl away unnoticed. Awkwardness avoided!

My friends and I always end stories with "and then we had cake!"

I usually just start talking very fast until I finish what I was saying and then reference something from the previous topic. No eye-contact.

Then, obviously, you spin it off into something awesome. Sure, you're a liar, but you'd be an interesting liar.
