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:

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.

We've been through this before; it's quite clearly a glass marble or bead. Or one of those gel things.

a water droplet would have a more regular reflection, like this

Although you can get water droplets floating on the surface tension of water, this clearly is below the surface; there is no surface tension supporting it so if it was water, it would have been absorbed.

Also, repost.

I like how you actually have the image of what it would look like if the title were correct.

[–]Be3Al2Si6O18 11 points12 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I don't think you've been served.

The contact angle of the material in WholeWideWorld's picture suggests that the surface is totally hydrophobic, akin to that of a waxed car. Given the look of the surface -dirt - and the apparent roughness of the surface that would reduce hydrophobic behavior, either the surface is some rare material I've yet to be familiar with, or there's no way in hell that's a water droplet in WholeWideWorld's picture.

[–]ImSamuelJacksonBitch 2 points3 points ago

This is what I was thinking, only in much less fancier wording.

[–]Be3Al2Si6O18 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Something like "WHAT DOES A HYDROPHOBIC SURFACE LOOK LIKE?", by chance?

[–]sworangutan 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Hmm, it looks to me as if the surface is asphalt, which is made from tar and hydrophobic.

[–]Be3Al2Si6O18 9 points10 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

That helps the cause, but that still doesn't explain a perfect sphere of alleged water on a rough surface. I can imagine a droplet with a contact angle greater than 90 degrees, sure, but a perfect sphere is sketchy.

Anyone know the contact angle of water on tar off the top of their heads? I'm invested now, and I need closure.

EDIT: I looked into this more, and apparently roughness of a surface will INCREASE the contact angle. Derp. I'll bite the bullet for that one, but even if the surface is specially treated to be rougher, this paper suggests that the normal contact for asphalt (bitumen) is around 101 degrees, nowhere close to what is depicted in the picture. We can't verify whether this particular asphalt has been roughened per the specifications of the paper, but I'm going to remain skeptical on the nature of the surface generating what appears to be a perfect sphere of water.

[–]arve93 1 point2 points ago

I'm not a 100 percent sure of my ant anatomy, but isn't those the ants antennae touching the glass bead/gel ball? Meaning that it's "smelling" it rather than pushing it? Awesome pic though!

Your example is perfect because under normal circumstances water defies gravity and remains in a perfect sphere.

[–]rednecktash 5 points6 points ago

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

Actually that's photoshopped. If you look carefully you can see the ground and sky are reversed in the reflection, since the orientation of the image, the ground is on the bottom but it is not so for the reflection.

[–]Be3Al2Si6O18 1 point2 points ago

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

You need to be upvoted more. Unless the surface is totally hydrophobic - and judging by the roughness, it's not - the contact angle of the droplet is impossible.

[–]Traveler80 0 points1 point ago

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

Except a water drop wouldn't be be reflecting anything, it would be acting as a lens and thus reversing the image of whatever is behind it. The poster you are responding to is still incorrect in stating the OP's photo is false because of "reflection". However he is correct in that a water droplet would not hold a sphere once it has broken surface tension.

Oh man, I don't remember much of that movie but my friends and I used to play the Antz psx game A LOT. The small soldiers game was pretty good too.

He's clearly just escaping the confines of a water droplet considering he's facing the other way.

DAE notice the ant is pushing with its hind legs? That's how I move really heavy furniture around too--with my legs, not my hind ones.

When I see macros of water like this one I'm always reminded about methane rainfall on Titan. Imagine droplets 2-3 cm in diameter, almost perfectly spherical slowly falling on the ground, somewhat like our snowflakes would. God this mus be a mind blowing sight.
