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.

  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.

How am I supposed to read if you cut up the pages?!

[–]marcopolobacardi 9 points10 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I thought this but did they, are the pages not folded ?

[–]watchthenlearn 14 points15 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

In order to make those folds in the middle of the pages...

they must be cut.

Unless...

THE PAGES ARE ALTERNATING! yes... yes...

I was going to turn this into one of those anti-joke inspirational posters. but you beat me to it.

Only slightly amazed? Are you not entertained?!?!?

[–]insomattack 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Seriously! I've seen this before and the person folded them, so I guess it can go either way... ya know like the mr. un-impressed's mom over there, hiyo!

It was a gladiator reference if I'm not mistaken, but that is awesome. I would love to see someone do this in person.

[–]playsinpaint 14 points15 points ago

it's nice, but they destroyed a book to do it :/

Appropriate reaction.

[–]deadcats 6 points7 points ago

The book wasn't destroyed, it became art. It still serves a purpose.

It's okay, It was twilight.

[–]nollidge -1 points0 points ago

Only if you consider folding to be destroying...

[–]ittenbittenkitten[S] 7 points8 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

they're folded i think. but it's still awesome! :)

[–]koogoro1 -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

those are definitely cut. See the inside of the "d" for example. that would be impossible to fold unless you at least cut into the page and folded from there.

[–]Ragnalypse 11 points12 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's possible, you alternate top and bottom.

[–]koogoro1 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Ok, that works. :)

[–]nothing_clever 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I completely disagree. Variations on a theme.

[–]koogoro1 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

yep, that works

[–]marcopolobacardi 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

the inside of the d looks shallow enough that it could of been folded

[–]kubala43 2 points3 points ago

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

They're not cut. Here are more examples from the artist, Isaac Salazar

I was impressed. Then I saw the Twilight one...

[–]mtldude1967 2 points3 points ago

Silly book...that's not read. It's more of an orange/brown.

[–]bunkerDAD 2 points3 points ago

I am very surprised that nobody has asked this question yet!: Is there a how to for this?! I want to make one!

...What just happened?

[–]alclarity 0 points1 point ago

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

A perfect example of what creative things procrastination breeds.. oh and you probably shouldn't do this to a book you intend to Read..

I hate it when books act like smug assholes to me.

Came here just to tell OP to go look up Brian Dettmer. Blows my mind how intricate some of them are.

[–]idlewild_ 0 points1 point ago

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

seeing all those folded/cut pages made me cringe :(

[–]shnoobles 0 points1 point ago

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

Ha! We have one like that in the lobby of my office http://i.imgur.com/LyjBn.jpg

The pages are in fact folded. I can't confirm, but the book they used was probably a misprint or had some other issues that made it a good candidate for a sculpture like this.

[–]kgenezk 0 points1 point ago

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

I actually don't think this would be that hard...just take a book, spread the pages out a little, take a pencil and trace the word you want, then fold the pages where the marks are.

That said, this is still freaking awesome and I certainly wouldn't be able to do it that well.

[–]meatwad1987 0 points1 point ago

NAY

[–]Athene_Wins 0 points1 point ago

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

Looks so simple. Even if you just fold the pages, fuck that. Still ruins a book. Then the person can't even read. Ironic

[–]over_caffeinated 4 points5 points ago

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

Why is that a bad thing? Book destruction as a way to suppress information or enforce an ideology is bad, but using books as raw materials for artistic endeavors is completely different (and totally fine IMO).

[–]LithiumBullets 0 points1 point ago

well NOW I cant read it! >:C

[–]Raeki -1 points0 points ago

I wish people wouldn't put reading books on a pedestal so much. It's just another form of media like every other.
