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.

WTF is wrong with you?!

You're oblivious to the fact that a murderous clown is living in your restroom, either in your toilet or behind the shower curtains.

He's just sulking in your bathroom pacing back and forth waiting for you to stumble in one day, unknowing and tired.

As you stumble into the darkness searching for the light switch, he grabs and pulls you down to the toilet.

He, covered in his poorly applied clown make up, whispers into your ear "I've been waiting for this moment." Mr. Clowny then puts your head into the toilet bowl. You feel stinging on your face. He pulls your head up just long enough for you to hear him whisper "mmm lemons"

He then pulls a cloth sack over your head. You try and reach for help but it's too late, he's already got you cornered. You feel 100's of tiny fangs pierce your face. He then whispers into your cloth covered ear "Those are spiders."

You think it's over, you're dead.

But! It's not.

EDIT: Got bored and wrote something more detailed. Well, now I feel like writing a full fledged short story of this.

When I was a kid, my buddy told me black widows hang out in outhouse pits and occasionally bite people while they're pooping. I envisioned very sad, african-american women sobbing, knee deep in shit, but I couldn't figure out why on earth they would want to bite a shitting ass. I checked the pits for black, husbandless women crying before using the john for several years until, upon asking my dad, I finally understood what my buddy was talking about.

I read somewhere that more people were bitten by black widows back in the day from using out houses.

I also have this story.

When I lived in Florida I used to throw my clothing on the floor and often ware it again a day or two later if it was clean. One morning I woke up and had to use the bath room so I threw on a pair of shorts (I had house mates so no nude bathroom runs) when I got to the toilet and started to pull down my shorts a black widow fell from a leg opening. I never jumped so high off the balls of my feet I don't think I could ever recreate that jump of WTF!

Now I all ways pat down or give a good whip snap shake to my clothing if it's been on the floor for sometime.

It is indeed fake. If you look at how clear the spiders are versus how clear the surroundings are, the legs and bodies are just a little too sharp to be real.

Which is good. Very good. Still makes me wanna cry.

[–]patheticgrl43 25 points26 points ago*

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

A guy is standing in front of a toilet filming it and you can see a big spider sitting on the back behind the rim, and he lifts up the rim with his foot and another one jumps out onto his shoe and he kicks it away. Pretty sure it's not real but definitely terrifying.

Brown recluses especially like to hide in places like that. The best part about them is that their bites aren't very painful, you might not even notice it. But then, a month later, your ass will have a wound like this on it:

[–]AllegraGeller 35 points36 points ago

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

Well, you probably should be able to identify what a brown recluse looks like. While avoiding it entirely would be preferable, they like to hide in dark places and may bite you when you can't see them (like shuffling through stuff in a closet or something). You need to know it was a brown recluse that bit you and immediately seek proper treatment, or this might be your hand after failing to be vigilant. I'm only trying to help; it's a real danger after all.

Of course, even swift medical attention doesn't guarantee you won't lose a hunk of flesh, best hope it isn't an important one.

HOLY FUCK. I DON'T CARE ABOUT TO ECOSYSTEM, EXTERMINATE ALL SPIDERS.

[–]AllegraGeller 19 points20 points ago

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

We can't stop them from even getting in our shipping crates, much less accomplish world-wide extermination. For instance: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazilian_wandering_spider

These spiders can also appear in banana crates sent to grocery stores and bulk food centers around the world. One such instance happened in 2005 with a shipment of bananas arriving at Bridgwater, England, when a man was bitten by a P. fera; however, due to quick medical care he survived, taking nearly a week to recover from the bite following treatment.

Something to think about next time you are picking out bananas.

[–]soothfast 18 points19 points ago

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

My brother worked in a fruit packing distribution place in the UK when he was a teen. They used to regularly see unusual spiders and other assorted creepy crawlies in the crates of bananas. I can confirm that they killed them there and then with shoes.

[–]whorecrusher 16 points17 points ago

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

From the Brazilian Wandering Spider article:

Aside from causing intense pain, the venom of the spider can also cause priapism in humans. Erections resulting from the bite are uncomfortable, can last for many hours and can lead to impotence. A component of the venom (Tx2-6) is being studied for use in erectile dysfunction treatments

That guy most likely: waited too long to be treated, and also was severely allergic to the venom.

I've been bitten by one before, and I didn't notice until the next day. But my leg was red and had mild inflammation, so I went immediately to the doctor. Anti-venom, and I was good to go.

On the other hand, my aunt was bitten by one in her coat pocket, and she mostly ignored it. A week later she found out she was incredibly allergic to the venom, and they had to graft her entire arm. :/

As a person from the Upper Midwest, this might be the #1 reason to fight global warming. Because if we let it continue, the black widows will move up.

And that is why I never try to kill a spider. I have the overwhelming fear that it sees me coming and just as I get close jumps on me and attacks the shit out of me. I just make someone else do it.

You would miss the centre just slightly, the widow would shift and jump out the side, landing on your fist. In a blind spider panic, her jaws would bite down. You would scream, terror like you have never felt before, and shake your hand in mad desperation to get her off, but she would hold tight, pumping the deadly poison into your blood stream.

And then they would find your body in the bathroom with knickers 'round your ankles.

Anyone that does A is a heathen. They probably even stand up to wipe.

[–]Bertrand_Tussle 37 points38 points ago*

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

Just imagine going to wipe yourself after a satisfying shit:

You draw out a length of toilet paper—eight sheets, like always—and this mother crawls out from inside the roll.

For you, time freezes. You're shocked, afraid, would be shitting yourself if you hadn't already vacated your bowls not a minute earlier. After the initial shock-wave of fear you begin to think of your options: you realize that your only hope is to rip the length of toilet paper before the black widow crawls up all eight sheets, and then—just as you begin to feel his legs on the thin flesh just beyond your finger nails—she strikes.

But of course, time doesn't really freeze. The spider dashes up those eight sheets and onto your knuckles in a split second and bites down into the top of your hand. Almost before you recognize the tickle of her eight legs on your flesh, neurotoxins are coursing through your veins.

And that's not even the worst of it—whoever finds your body will find you with your pants down and your ass unwiped. They'll try to save you from embarrassment, maybe wipe your dead ass for you and pull up your pants.

But little do they know what lurks in your left pocket...

You're a stronger man than I. Black widows are my biggest fear. Brown recluse don't bother me a bit, but when I see one of these fuckers pictured here... I'm liable to pass out on the spot.

[–]czechreck 17 points18 points ago

It's strange you say that, because a Brown recluse bite can be much worse.

[–]HAVEANOTHERDRINKRAY 4 points5 points ago

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

I'm aware of the necrosis and such, but for whatever reason I just perceive them as far less likely to bite me.

[–]Gozdilla 8 points9 points ago

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

They're less aggressive. Hence the recluse.

[–]ftc08 4 points5 points ago

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

Its name is descriptive. They only bite when they are immediately threatened. The bite sucks hairy ass when you have to get part of your leg cut out House style from necrosis, but you're very unlikely to get yourself into a situation where they'll attack.

A black widow will fuck up anybody who enters its domain. You get your hand caught in its web and she'll go straight for the jugular. Also, it is much more likely to kill you (still unlikely) than a brown recluse, and the suffering isn't localized to one spot.

[–]mendelrat 14 points15 points ago

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

It is very, very, very unlikely for a single black widow to kill you unless you're old or an infant.

No one has died from a black widow bite in >= 10 years.

Pfft you don't know fear. A house centipede was in there and when I rolled out the toilet paper, it fell in my pants leaving me screaming and kicking my leg like some tribal African dance till it came off. I left the washroom leaking and my pants barely on. This happened to me twice. Two times too many...

[–]Airazz 22 points23 points ago

Actually, you are very lucky. Just grab the roll and move it upwards quickly, then side-to-side, then spin around a little bit. You'll end up with completely harmless spider purée.
