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), 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.

  • 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.

only flying mammals...THE ONLY KIND OF MAMMALS THAT FLY...bats are fucking amazing and I strive to be more like one. (EDIT) i don't consider a flying squirrel a flying mammal, as it glides only. Does not flap or any of that ill flying shit

Looks like a Pug with big ears. Teeth are a little big, but I doubt it would ever go after you.

Yea, until they get into your apartment and wont leave and just keep waking you up in the middle of the night when they crash into the window blinds.

There are giant bats near my house, was out for a walk the other night when one about the size of a hawk took flight, fucking awesome. True story... :p

Just imagining what it looks like without wings :shudders:

[–]OhNoApplebees 0 points1 point ago

Are you thinking about removing just the leathery part, or the whole wing so it's a two-legged hell kiwi? Now you're thinking of both!

I nearly hit one when I was driving at night yesterday. Was doing about 40mph when it just flew in front of my windscreen, must have only been 1-2 inches off hitting it.

I love bats! We once had a bat try to hibernate in our window air conditioner...who then fell out when my dad took the air conditioner out for the winter. He couldn't fly away though because he had already started his hibernation, so we had to send him to this bat rehabilitator through the mail.

It looks like a monkey who is surprised that he is flying...

But are they tasty enough to just take a bite out of them? I recently learned that the bible forbids it, by the way. It seems to think they're birds, though.

Apparently my brain functions quite differently than many redditors... First thing that popped into my mind was the batwing. From a far superior movie - Waiting.

I have it on good authority that bats are actually bugs:

I hate bats to be perfectly honest. I was once mulching a bed around a customers house and one scared the crap out of me. I think it was injured. I have never seen one just on the ground like that. Its screeching voice making me jump, piercing my ears. Its ugly face twisted up at me with jaws wide open. Wanting to bite my face off. Sort of like a giant rat. Course he was just a wee guy. It was gone by the time I left.

I suppose the one good thing they do is eat bugs.

[–]OneEagerGentleman 1 point2 points ago

I'm with this guy. They're mammals that fly, they see with sound. For a long time I had thought them to be the ultimate in undead hunters (They eat moths, and I used to be convinced moths were undead butterflies...) and they are awake generally exclusively at night. They're like migrants from bizarro world, and I for one fear them greatly.

[–]frita 1 point2 points ago

Old folklore about moths: When we die, we're given a choice to travel onto the next world, or spend one more day on earth as a moth. Ever since I heard that, I've been fascinated by moths.
