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), weight loss photos, posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. Weight loss photos go in /r/loseit, 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.

Oh what a man. One of the most inspirational things i have ever heard, is when he was first diagnosed and given only a year to live. He still had several years until he'd finished his studies, so persevered only to graduate before his untimely demise.

Now, all these years later... he is still persevering. Truly a hero of our age, and of all time.

Well said, i_fap_faps.

There really is no man alive who is nearly as awe inspiring as this man. When his time does come (and let us all hope our children grow up in a world where he still gives lectures, narrates documentaries, and inspires students and adults the world over) the world will weep more than any other death imaginable. What's greater than his intellect, his strength and his struggle through diversity, is his wonderful sense of humour about it all.

[–]ireallydontknowwhatt 12 points13 points ago

There is absolutely no way "the world will weep more than any other death imaginable" I love the man but no way

[–]i_fap_faps 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

i think and im allowed to. i cant imagine anyone else as purely awesome. Look at the bullshit after jobs died.

All i'm saying, is the world wont truly appreciate him till hes gone, and for months afterwards, we'll be in mourning.

Who in all the fuck is downvoting you?

[–]evilted 9 points10 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Looks like the same people that are downvoting you. People get cranky this time of day. Reddit should have a mandatory nap time.

[–]Skunk_Rock 1 point2 points ago

yeah that way i might actually get some sleep instead of being on reddit...

Steven hawking was Austin Powers. It all makes sense now.

[–]elfherder 5 points6 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Then he divorced her because he got too famous and married his nurse (who had previously been married to the guy that programmed his talking computer). You can't make this shit up.

[–]kromberg 31 points32 points ago

anyone else find it ironic that young, walking stephen hawking looks exactly like "artie" from glee?

[–]theresaviking 20 points21 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I agree they look remarkably alike, but wouldn't that be a coincidence, not irony?

[–]expecto_cochlea 10 points11 points ago

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

It IS Ironic that he looks like the kid from glee in a wheelchair only when he's young, and walking. They don't look alike when he actually gets his wheelchair...

[–]notanotherpyr0 -4 points-3 points ago

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

How is it unexpected that a person looks more like a young person than an older person?

I'm calling it coincidence.

[–]expecto_cochlea 0 points1 point ago

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

Hmmmm... I guess I'm not sure now.

[–]funkbitch -1 points0 points ago

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

It's ironic because he is famous for being in a wheelchair, yet he looks like someone else who's famous for being in a wheelchair before he was in a wheelchair. The irony has nothing to do with their ages.

[–]theresaviking 0 points1 point ago

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

Wait I didn't know the full backstory of the younger dude, never knew he had been in a wheelchair, I think that's ironic now...

[–]FlatBot 1 point2 points ago

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

Stick to your guns. Two guys look alike when they are both about the same age. one is in a wheelchair. One plays a guy in a wheelchair on a show. Coincidence.

[–]FlatBot 0 points1 point ago

Stephen Hawking is famous for being a genius physicist. His wheelchair is part of his lore as he designed & built the voice modulator himself, however the fact that he is in a wheelchair is not the source of his fame.

[–]funkbitch 0 points1 point ago

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

You can be famous for multiple things. Justin Timberlake is famous for being a good dancer. Does that mean that he is not famous for being a good singer? No. Hawking is famous for being brilliant as well as being in a wheelchair.

[–]FlatBot 0 points1 point ago

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

It seems disrespectful to hawking to say he is famous for being in a wheelchair. As if that's all he has done.

[–]funkbitch 0 points1 point ago

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

I literally just said that you can be famous for multiple things. John Lennon is famous for those circular glasses. Does that mean that all Lennon did was wear glasses? No. Not everything is black and white.

Can't fault him for having bad fashion sense, the man suits up well.

That's an old-fashioned cone-shape bra, very poor devices, not nipples. You lack research, padawan.

Actually, I think it's poor seaming in the construction of the dress, but I stand by my original comment.

Such an intelligent mind trapped in such a disabled body, it makes me sad in one sense, but happy in another to know that knowledge knows no bounds.
