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.

Then, you can use your super-Canadian time-travelling powers to stop him from getting re-elected! Elections aren't until November 2, 2004! You can change the past!

        Seriously, if they feel that one holiday at a time is the way it should be, then why don't they wait until after Halloween to start saying Happy Thanksgiving.

                Reddit, and perhaps the internet in its entirety, would be a much better place if people didn't try to make basic statements funny by putting them in meme format.

                [–]webby_mc_webberson 50 points51 points ago

                sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

                As much as a lot of people find the memes tiresome, it really comes down to how we as humans ultimately communicate. I mean, basically all language is just a universally accepted meme. Put simply, I don't always say things to people on Reddit, but when I do, I don't always say things.

                  He rushed to close the driver's-side door and twisted the key in the ignition like doing it harder would make the car operate faster. The passenger window shattered into a million pieces and the hideous face of his lover peered inside. "You didn't even say goodnight, Todd!" she shrieked in her demonic voice. She then proceeded to tear the passenger-side door from the car like paper. Todd was ready, and grabbed the Beretta from beside the brake. One shot was fired, and hit Kristen's cheek. A single roach fell from its previously curled position onto the car seat, accompanied with blood. Kristen's laugh resonated throughout campus. "Aww that's cute, Toddy." she taunted as Todd watched her entire body turn into a mountain of cockroaches that scurried for Todd and picked every fiber off his bones within minutes.

                                        My grandmother told me that back in the day, Macy's, Marshal Fields, etc. would hire college kids with no place to go to decorate the ENTIRE store on Thanksgiving day. They were given a huge family-style meal to eat as well. By the next morning at opening time the stores had completely transformed for the Christmas Season. She told me it was truly magical to see and everyone knew that it was the christmas season. She can't stand that stores start stocking Christmas items as early as the beginning of November these days...

                                        Sorry to pile on, but our local True Value and similar stores have plenty of X-mas stuff up by the first of October. It's quite annoying and I try to avoid those stores. Maybe I'll get more aggressive and go to the managers and tell them I'm not buying there due to their early X-mas displays. But will it work?

                                          How come everyone is acting like this is the first time a store has done this? Are you guys forgetting about what Macy's did last year? They earned a ton of respect points from me, just because of one note.

                                              I never understand why people get upset over your posts. You post some neat looking spiders, although I think you need to expand your collection a bit. You tend to repost the same ones a lot.

                                              I have a hard time believing that many people are arachnophobes.

                                              EDIT: Unless you mean the movie starring Jeff Daniels. Then we are all arachnophobes.

                                              I am arachnophobic but I work really really hard to not freak out when I see them. Pictures no longer do anything to me because I've forced myself to look at them. Seeing a real life spider no longer freaks me out unless it startles me. When I was younger (like 16) I couldn't even go through my front door for a few weeks because a giant garden spider built a web above our door on the porch (it was freakin HUGE). The rest of my family laughed at me and even gave it a name. It was then that I decided to start working on getting over my ridiculous irrational fear. I once even let a spider walk over my hand. It took everything I had to not freak out and hide in a corner.

                                              Not much else scares me though, aside from laser sharks and space crocs.

                                              EDIT: the weird thing is that I am fascinated by spiders. I love finding new articles on Science Daily about how some crazy amazing techniques that spider A uses to be a boss.

                                                I apologize for occasionally reposting pictures. Given the amount of comments the account has, it's difficult to post a unique picture each time (though some people have been messaging me with these more recent pictures, and thank you to those). I do try my best to mix it up between some of the earlier pics and new ones, as I'm pretty adamant about only using high resolution, unedited, and interesting pics. Because of this, I have to be somewhat picky. I'd much rather repost a fantastic picture that not everyone has seen than post some blurry 500x400 pic of a barely visible spider.

                                                But I'm not sure why you would comment on the reposts here, (which were rather numerous last week, I will admit) as this pic is not a repost.

                                                No worries, just commented on the reposts here because you posted here and it reminded me that you occasionally repost.

                                                Also, I'm drunk, so I'm chatty as fuck right now. Still, keep up the cool spider posts!

                                                    1.) Why has it become so popular to be scared of spiders? Spiders are awesome. 2.) If you're part of the minority of reddit's browsers that makes an account and decides to post, then you should have RES enabled and label this dude FUCKING SPIDER GUY in red background, or something more creative. 3.) I continue to upvote you for all the cool spider pics you provide.

Nordstrom appreciates their customers and while maybe the spend more money than other stores on damaging out products that have been returned, or selling them at clearance price. I am more comfortable spending money there because I know if anything goes wrong it won't be a problem.

He's so patient, he goes and gets four more things when I say I don't like the first four items he pulls out that might go well with what I picked out. Then gets a couple more after that. Tells me honestly if something doesn't look good on me. And they have my info in the fucking computer so when I can't remember the jacket size that actually fit last time--they know.

It sucks for the visual team who has to come in late thanksgiving and work all night. But yeah, I cam attest that this is the case every year. We are pretty damn classy

Now they start before the Halloween witches are put away and by the first week of December, I'm so sick of Xmas I could puke. As a kid, our tree didn't go up before December 15th and it was taken down on December 26th. Now, the wife and I don't even bother with a tree thinking its a bunch of commercial bullshit anymore.

Woman ( I dunno why but it's always women)without fail, call us at .com to complain that their local Nordstrom hasn't decorated yet and what a travesty it is, blah blah blah.
