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.

That's horrible! I can't imagine how those people live...having to look at those poor people's shitty shanties all day.

I know! It's a tough life, but someone's gotta do it. I applaud them.

You know, considering the general shabbiness of some Brazilian buildings, they have bigger balls than mine going into those hanging pools.

[–]dserodio 0 points1 point ago

General shabbiness? Our "normal" buildings (not favelas, of course) are made of brick and mortar, not wood and drywall like in the USA

[–]innervision 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Well, I'm talking about the balconies falling from buildings in São Paulo a few years ago. I've actually seen it first hand in Santa Catarina, where I lived for years.

And I agree with you, drywall sucks. I keep telling people here I can't believe most 'walls' are just a thin layer of cardboard.

It's terribly irresponsible is what it is. They just want to spend their day playing tennis and swimming in their pool. And they have to look at the poor people while they do it? Ridiculous.

That's Higienópolis Favela. Take a good look, you can see cars, satellite dishes and businesses in the area. It's ugly as fuck, but this people are not starving to death, the houses have water and electricity. I've done some errands inside this favela and you guys would be amazed at the level of comfort some of these ugly houses have.

[–]Syniphas 4 points5 points ago

This. What most people don't understand about our Favelas (I'm from Brazil as well) is that a lot of people live in them because it's a "shady" way to live, more or less like a cheap way to have comfort, and not because they can't afford to live anywhere else.

[–]Mafiadons 16 points17 points ago

They omitted that part in the Favelas level in CoD...

Damn, those terraced pools. . . it's like they're adding insult to injury. OK, guys, let's put in a nice big pool at the ground level. . . wait, those poor slobs will gawk, that's it, pools on every floor.

I bet you could piss in your neighbor's pool from your own pool.

[–]GibbsSlap 1 point2 points ago

Yeah! I mean, how can those people on the eighth floor live without a pool? THAT'S INHUMANE!

"You dumbfuck, the tennis court is supposed to be green, not red."

"Fuck. Do we have to redo the whole thing?"

"Nah, lets just build another one over here."

Within the next decade, most of the favelas are likely to be destroyed, too. It'll be bad for the people forced to move.

It will be interesting to see how the government manages this issue before the World Cup and Olympics.

They have been running the gangs out of the favelas and installing police command posts.

This is kinda how the favelas started in the first place. Bunch of poor people displaced to "affordable housing" back in the 60s-70s.

With all that money they could have built a better fence.

Guess I've been online too long ... knew exactly which photo this would be from the headline.

This is actually fairly common, especially in Sao Paulo. I was staying with a friend in his condo in Morumbi and right next door there was a slum similar to the picture above. It is very sad to experience this.

I bet the smell coming over the fence would totally ruin a perfectly good tennis match.

That is just so disgusting. How dare those rich snobs put in time for a good education, work extra hard in their younger years, and dedicate their career to a demanding and difficult goal of providing better for their family?

Who do they think they are, capitalists?
