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.

TURN YOUR VOLUME DOWN- Cicadas at Vanderbuilt, Nashville, TN. May, 2011. Loud little suckers, but totally harmless. They don't bite and they don't sting. It's fun to run up to a tree, and shake the Hell out of it. Millions will take off and fly. Fun!

Goodness, Phoenix in the summer, you literally cannot go outside without hearing them. Annoying little shits. But yeah, they don't bite or anything. In fact, you rarely see one, just their shells. They seem to keep to themselves.

I watched this on the deck a few years back. Cicada flapped its wings a few times, took off, and just then a crow that had been lurking up in a tree swooped down, grabbed it, took it back to the branch, and one gurgling chirp later my own Blue Planet episode was over.

Here's a video I took a few years ago of a couple of cicadas molting on the porch.

I HATE the noise of these infernal things. But what I hate even more are Cicada killing wasps. Look them up, they are huge.

WHY in the actual fuck do you have that thing on your paper towels, in the comfort of your home? Get that thing all the way out.

For some reason, when I read, "molting cicada", I started singing it to the tune of Waltzing Matilda.
