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.

That page was awesome!

Accepting her fate as an orphan of war, 'Miss Hap' a two-week old Korean kitten chows down on canned milk, piped to her by medicine dropper with the help of Marine Sergeant Frank Praytor ... The Marine adopted the kitten after its mother was killed by a mortar barrage near Bunker Hill. The name, Miss Hap, Sergeant Praytor explained, was given to the kitten 'because she was born at the wrong place at the wrong time'." Korea, ca 1953

And not a damn word on her ultimate fate.

I tried my google-fu since reading that story myself and couldn't find anything. I'd like to think the poor kitten lived, but if it was being fed just cows milk that young, who knows :(

I'd also like to punch myself in the face for asking about the kitten and not wasting a thought on the marine.

If it makes you feel better, that picture was taken in 1953 in Korea. The Korean war ended in July 53, so it's highly likely Sgt. Frank Praytor survived. I did a name search, and there is a grandfather-aged guy by that name living in Albuquerque, NM.

..and the kitten grew old in South Korea, leading a happy life. That's the ending I'm sticking with, so have an upvote.

I guess you like me found at least two instances of people claiming to be Frank Praytor and saying she grew up to be a big girl. Might be fakes, but both mentioned weaning her on meat out of C rations, and why question a happy ending?

Wow! Thanks for posting that. I was trying to find out who this was.
