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.

Probably where they got the idea.

Well, the festival was this year, right? And Tangled came out before then, right? Seems pretty clear to me.

Not sure if sarcastic...

Or puts way too much stock in Disney.

Sky Lanterns have been around a while. =)

I've been wanting to go to a sky lantern festival for a long time... They almost had one in the Philippines last October and I was psyched to go, but it was canceled =( I think litter+fire hazard makes them much more rare these days.

Anyone else read Pee Yeng festival and get confused? Or is my username just relevant?

[–]Nikx 2 points3 points ago

I read "Young Pee". Was disappointed.

[–]Intoxicatedcanadian 1 point2 points ago

I also read it as that, and then was disappointed when I realized it wasn't Pee Yeng.

This beats our tradition of excessive fireworks by so many lengths... No dogs frightened out of their poor little doggie minds, and also, it looks like we're putting up an entire new swath of stars.

I live where this was taken and believe me, there are shit tons of fireworks too.

Well, I've only ever visited Thailand as a tourist, but when my mother brought my gran' and myself there, I saw a few sporadic rockets, but really, these things totally dominated that area.

I guess it's because you can let the tourists light a lantern but not an explosive, then.

Oh sure I get a fine for my flaming garbage festival but in Thailand it's a-okay.

It is said sky lanterns were invented by Zhu Ge Liang of Three Kingdoms period when he was trapped by Sima Yi in Pingyang.

Read it as "Pee Yeng" which made me hesitate to click.

Had these at my wedding reception. Lit them off before we left. A lot better than getting birdseed thrown at you.
