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.

My grandfather fixed power and communication lines between trenches in WWI. He told me that every time he needed to run from trench to one another, he and the other soldiers would stick their helmets up on sticks, wait, and then make a break for it while the Germans were reloading. I always assumed he was exaggerating until he showed me his helmet with bullet dents in it.

Not really related to the original story but I was shot in the base of my skull during a paintball match. Back of my head hurt like hell for a week.

One of my squad members did this from an artillery crater when we were taking fire and got the shit reamed out of him by our SSGT. because doing this will draw fire of more than just small arms... probably not the best idea.

After 48 hours of utilizing this tactic Lt. McColms single handedly exhausted all ammo of the opposing forces, allowing for a full American offensive movement, winning the area from enemy forces.

The sniper is actually about 4 feet to his left, just out of frame, with the rifle clearly already aimed.

[–]mr_lahey_tpb 6 points7 points ago

I just finished reading the biography of Chris Kyle, where he talks about using this technique in Iraq.
