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.

So, is that what Ringo was talking about?

It sounded silly to the other Beatles, but Ringo knew what real paradise was.

I'd like to be under the sea in an octopus's garden in the shade... Fucking love that song!

That's just the tip of the.....octopus.

Just the tip? Just for a second... just to see what it feels like.

The Italians conquered their fear by throwing them in a pan with olive oil, garlic, and tomatoes.

Koreans eat them live.

Indeed. You gotta be careful of the suckers though, a couple of people die every year because a tentacle suckers on to their throat and they suffocate.

Octopuses have a less centralized nervous system than we do and actually do a good deal of "thinking" within their tentacles. Even when severed, a tentacle will maintain motor control and is capable of performing complex actions such as grasping food and trying to feed it to where the mouth should be.

tl;dr Chew thoroughly before swallowing.

It's the seaweed.

[–]poet_will 1 point2 points ago

It may be that part of the octopus is out of the water. But the seaweed really doesn't help.

Their heads look like testicles. I don't like it.

You're right, it is just an Octopus.

Imagine just swimming around, and then trying to cling onto that "rock" to support yourself. I shudder thinking about it. I have nothing against octopuses, just something against clinging to something that is not actually a rock. It is a kin to swinging on a vine that turns out to be a snake.
