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.

It's really weird when you realize a narwhal's horn is actually a giant tooth.

Just had to look up Narwhals on Wikipedia after you said that, and I find this gem. A lance made from a Narwhal tusk with a meteorite iron blade. What. the. fuck.

Its as if some blacksmith finished crafting a lance from a Narwhal tusk and said to himself, "You know the only thing that could make this weapon more badass? If I attached a blade...made from a meteorite!"

Beavers and rats grow teeth like that, which is why they are always chewing on things. If they didn't, their teeth would grow really long.

[–]Black_Apalachi 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Horns are made from hair, right? Is there a difference between a giant tooth and a tusk?

[–]BitRex 6 points7 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Horns are not made of hair; both hair and horns are made of keratin. Tusks and antlers are made of bone.

[–]Black_Apalachi 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I thought rhino horns were made of hair?

[–]BitRex 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

No, but that's an often-repeated misconception. They're keratin with some minerals inside. They're unusual in that they don't have a bone core like most horns.

[–]campsun 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Rhinos have horns that are made of keratin (which is also a primary component of hair). Narwhals, on the other hand, have tusks, like elephants and walrusser. Tusks are continuously growing front teeth and primarly consists of dentine.

random story: I went to denmark to visit my aunt this summer. I was going to bed on the first night and saw something vaguely familiar hanging on the wall above my bed. "no, it couldn't be" I said to myself. The next morning I asked my aunt and uncle- Indeed, it was a narwhal tusk. It was given to them by a friend from Iceland years ago.

Been on reddit since February, and this is the first time I've seen your beloved narwhal make front page. Not that narwhals aren't the shit, I just never saw you guys act like it.

[–]SomeRandomAsshole 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Sorry to shit on the Narwhal brotherhood and unity-fest or whatever you think is going on, but they are likely fighting for a mate in this photo. Obviously Narwhals lack a bro code. And yes, they do stab each other occasionally, otherwise they wouldn't have a huge fucking spear sticking out of their heads.
