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.

Or it's just acting as the baby's jet pack.

It's not giving a hug, it's attempting to choke out the baby.

The last person who noticed that told me he signed me up for calling lists of various Fortune 500 companies. Needless to say that isn't my phone number.

Until the goddamn cat sits on the baby's face and smothers it. Gah! Working in an ER makes things like this make me want to panic.

[–]kickelephant_ 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Cats can smother small children by laying over breathing passages. It is not showing affection, just using the kid for warmth.

toxoplasmosis

[–]R88SHUN 7 points8 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

the cat is doing that because the baby is warm. cats have been known to lay on top of babies and smother them. great parenting.

[–]Vile2539 0 points1 point ago

You'll find that the cat smothering babies or sucking the breath from them is completely false, and just an old wives tale. I have yet to see a single story about this that hasn't been debunked.

[–]R88SHUN 1 point2 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

uh yeah stealing their breath is an old wives tale, laying on their face is true. aside from that even clean cats are known to carry parasites and whatnot, thats why pregnant women arent supposed to clean litter boxes.

theres literally a person talking about it right above you. and a website about it below. DO NOT LEAVE YOUR CAT ALONE WITH YOUR BABY PEOPLE.

[–]Vile2539 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Could you provide any source for the smothering? I was unable to find any (there was one famous case, which turned out to be SIDS).

Also, not denying the parasites thing, just the smothering.

[–]question97 1 point2 points ago

What? No, no I don't like the baby. I uses him for warmth.

That cat clearly wants to rape the baby.
