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.

I feel like there should be credit to a source if there's a link to a deviantart image...

[–]nubbled21 7 points8 points ago

I posted the url because the artist's name is in it giving him credit but here ya go anyways.

CREDIT TO: nethskie found on deviantart

All I can think about is how very, very terrible the show got after the writer's strike... And the first season was really good! :(

Nah, you'd die of hypoxia first. That is if you survived the temperature shifts.

And even if you're magically resistant or whatever it still kinda sucks up there with the massive buffeting winds and total lack of matter to manipulate at any time.

So some kind of hat would be in order.

It's only amazing because we never see above the clouds.

Imagine if you did live in the clouds, and could never see the Earth? Never see the deserts, oceans, or forests? Never see a fish, giraffe, or panda? Compared to the skies, our own Earth really is a miraculously diverse and amazing place.

[–]Pravusmentis 1 point2 points ago

It's amazing because the eclipse casts a rainbow dividing the lit area from the dark area. To bad it's CG

To quote John Green: "Then Mr. Martinez told us that up in the clouds the wind blew one hundred and fifty miles an hour and the temperature was thirty below zero and there was no oxygen and we'd all die within seconds."
