For an image subreddit with fewer restrictions, check out /r/misc!

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.

And that little cumulus grew up to be a thunder cloud

This looks like something straight out of PBF.

It does, but a less funny version

[–]esper2142 2 points3 points ago

I don't know, it made me chuckle.

I think the headline gave it away at the first panel so seemed way too obvious to me.

[–]Furbylover 0 points1 point ago

Upvote.

I was thinking the exact same thing.

C'mon, man. Why you gotta ruin cotton candy for me?

[–]muellkonto 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Well, ruined until you have cotton candy again. Then it returns as masterfully delicious and you forget all about the Stay Puft marshmallow man that was shot or whatever.

Really? All I could think about is how awesome that would be!

I really thought this link would take me to Perry Bible Fellowship...

[–]knivesngunz[S] 5 points6 points ago

It's a direct link.

[–]Vile2539 15 points16 points ago

You should try to link to the page, so that the artist gets ad revenue. Linking directly to the image just uses their bandwidth, and so is worse than imgur.

[–]DaKong 8 points9 points ago

Woops, you're right.

Attempt to be helpful, failed

[–]ow1n 5 points6 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

No, you tried to correct a wrong, and you were right to do so.

[–]DaKong 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah, you're right!

I saved you people a little bit of work, so you better be thanking me. u_u

[–]kbuis 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Nope you were completely in the right. He hotlinked an image. He's adding to bandwidth costs while not helping advertising revenue. This is a massive no-no.

[–]zlozlozlozlozlozlo 4 points5 points ago

A link to the jpg, which artists discourage.

[–]arlanTLDR 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

That's worse. There's still no ad revenue and yet you cost them bandwidth.

I hear that cotton candy clouds lead to chocolate rain.

[–]dynamiteownsall 1 point2 points ago

I feel bad for the young cloud.

The fact I have a stronger emotional reaction to comics like this, than I do touching stories in comments, AMA's or any other kind of post, makes me seriously question whether I'm a good person or not.

Is there a name for this?

Cumulucide - the deliberate killing of a cumulus cloud specifically to take advantage of its fluffy, sweet nature.

[–]nick041 0 points1 point ago

I loved everything about this.

[–]Southbysouth 0 points1 point ago

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

Know how I know I'm not totally awake yet? I thought in the second pane that the bullet streak was a really long pike and that the poacher was going to drag the cloud down. And it made perfect sense.

This comic reminds me of music video I made. Similar in thought, perhaps the author and I are kindred spirits.

Link if you are curious.

This made me sad and laugh at the same time.

This link is to the comic's site but only shows the image. Can anyone tell me if this still gives the author ad revenue and page views? I don't know much about how that stuff works but I know supporting the author is important and I want to be sure in case I ever post anything.

I remember as a kid my dad took us up to a marble mine so high you could touch the clouds. I remember how disappointed I was when I found out they didn't taste like cotton candy.

[–]dropstop -1 points0 points ago

Actual organic cotton candy. It's amazing too IMO.
