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.

This should be higher. She's been dead for a while.

I bet she had one whale of a time

For some reason I find this google search humorous.

[–]abstrusities 5 points6 points ago

Reminded me of this

What the FUCK?

Edit: Now I have new music to listen to, thanks!

Read up on this video on wikipedia. Very interesting.

[–]Ajude24 0 points1 point ago

hmmmm... "Floaty-Bulging-Eye-Black-Guy" it's so deep. I can see now how he represents a Floaty-Bulging-Eye-Black-Guy and not just some floating black guy with bulgy eyes.

[–]paternoster 0 points1 point ago

Totally. Was looking to see if anyone else posted this. Awesome video.

[–]andrewsmith1986 -1 points0 points ago

Yup, beat me too it.

Great video.

Whoever did this is permanently removed from reality by 1 cuil, and is thus one of mankinds greatest shoopers.

[–]MartyMacGyver 14 points15 points ago

Not funny - I knew her personally and mourned her passing... she was a beautiful person whose life was cut tragically short.

[–]brainburger 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Sorry to hear that. I wonder if the creator of this pic knew that she had died? It might predate her death.

[–]MartyMacGyver -1 points0 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

IMHO if you create or repost something you later find out is in particularly poor taste, the right thing to do is to remove it. Again, I have no idea if the OP or creator knew it before, but the OP certainly knows it now.

Edit: KarmaDecay suggests this is a repost... but given this first appeared about 8 months ago I strongly suspect the creator was aware of the context.

[–]brainburger 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I don't know. According to Google this pic is pretty widespread. At least the joke of the pic does not refer to her death, or that she worked with orcas. Whatever the maker's intention we can be comforted that neither the submitter or the viewers are laughing at that.

[–]MartyMacGyver 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The original is widespread, while this 'shop has only made the rounds in the last few months (several times on Reddit evidently).

[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

She died March of last year. The guy who made this pic probably knew exactly what happened to her too.

[–]brainburger 3 points4 points ago

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

What's your reasoning for saying that? Just that the maker could have found out while googling for a suitable image? The unshopped pic is quite common.

Does anyone know who the guy is? Perhaps that can shed some light on it?

[–]edwartica 6 points7 points ago

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

Ugg. To the top with you. I had no idea who she was, and was about to pass it off to a few co-workers, but now I know how morbid this picture actually is.

Sorry for your loss.

[–]MartyMacGyver 2 points3 points ago

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

I rarely find pics on Reddit to be personally offensive, but even if I didn't know her - but still knew what happened to her - I'd have thought this to be in particularly poor taste.

Perhaps the OP and others didn't know... or perhaps (like a few others who replied to this and other comments) they don't care. I take pause when I see something that's apparently lighthearted but turns out to have an unexpectedly tragic element. It's heartening to know others do the same.

[–]brainburger 4 points5 points ago*

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

It depends. Maybe the maker of the pic didn't know. Maybe it was before she died. The fact that she was killed by an orca is not referenced in the pic, so it isn't obviously in poor taste. Everyone does die eventually. This needn't make every funny pic of them retrospectively tasteless.

[–]MartyMacGyver 5 points6 points ago*

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

If TinEye is any guide (and it often is) this is a very recent creation. I'll buy the theory that the creator and/or poster didn't know that, but it's still unfunny to perpetuate it once you are aware of the reality of it.

Actually, this KarmaDecay site seems more useful... it was first posted to Reddit 8 months ago...

[–]puffinstix 4 points5 points ago

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

So sorry for your loss :(

[–]MartyMacGyver 3 points4 points ago

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

Thanks... she touched many lives and was an amazing person. Not many people get to live their dream as she did.

Sorry if the post hurt you or someone else in any shape or form, It was not meant to be hurtful and was made without knowing the backstory to the trainers image. So sorry for your loss.

[–]MartyMacGyver -1 points0 points ago

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

Fair enough... now that you know, do you keep collecting karma on it?

(Given that it's been posted many times on Reddit I assume you're not the original author... though if somehow you are then my question is even more relevant.)

[–]rodllag 1 point2 points ago

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

I´m not the original author although I haven`t seen it posted on reddit before, the reason that's keeping me from deleting it is the fact that my motives for uploading it were solely for it's comedic value without taking into account it's backstory (which was not known to me at the time). Would I upload it now that I know? Definitely no.

[–]rodllag 1 point2 points ago

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

You know what, gave it some thought and no more karma for me here.

[–]MartyMacGyver 1 point2 points ago

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

I saw your other note above as well and I see your point (and understand you didn't know of any of this beforehand)... I believe you've did the right thing here by deleting it in the end: I seriously appreciate your conscientiousness with regard to this.

[–]rodllag 1 point2 points ago

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

No problem man, I would never want to benefit from something like this. :)

[–]tdmiami 1 point2 points ago

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

So you're trying to say she died because of a black man? There you go again.

Edit your you're dammit

I randomly found this on imgur and had to come find the reddit post. I don't care if it's not really the OP's wife, that's pretty funny.

This looks shopped. I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few shops in my time.
