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.

      Plenty of pigments have mercury compounds in them. What's worse?

      [–]Dax420 18 points19 points ago

      sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

      Inhalation of cadmium-containing fumes can result initially in metal fume fever but may progress to chemical pneumonitis, pulmonary edema, and death

      [–]red_nuts 13 points14 points ago

      sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

      So if that's better or worse than inhaling mercury depends on what you're trying to accomplish I guess.

      [–]red_nuts 14 points15 points ago

      sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

      Not sure why people are downvoting me. How are people interpreting what I said? Pigments comtaining mercury are dangerous, but I don't know what's worse: Cadmium or Mercury.

      The red pigment in the picture is vermilion, which is produced by reacting mercury and molten sulphur. It's a hazardous compound for sure.

      Cadmium can be used to make a red pigment, but in India vermilion is more common.

        Here are my only surviving pictures from last year's Holi in Vrindhavan. It was like a fucking war zone, especially if you're pale white. Here I am post-Holi. Here are my Holi buddies.

        Seriously, though. If you get stressed out from total chaos and can't handle being constantly attacked from all directions by water balloons filled with dye, plastic bags of colored powder that explodes upon impact like a grenade, dye-filled water guns, dye-filled 5 gallon buckets being dropped on you from rooftops, people on motorcycles doing powder drive-bys on you, or strangers coming up and rubbing the powder directly onto your face and body, then really don't go to Holi in a big city and especially NOT Vrindhavan.

          I was in Mumbai for a couple of years and saw the celebrations. The powder feels like flour. It hurts your eyes and goes in your nose, mouth and lungs and chokes you. It stains your skin, hair and clothes. Some of the colors are somewhat toxic. There are warnings on television about them. It's a bit like a snowball fight, not much fun to get hit but great fun to throw at someone else. There are lots of dull purple people walking around in the days following Holi.

          Let me tell you, if you only get hit with powder, consider yourself lucky. When I was there, they had this foam stuff that instantly dyed whatever it touched, including skin. If it was on your skin for just a second, boom, enjoy being blue for a week. People would get this stuff all over their faces and would have to walk around looking like they had a skin disease. Then there's the eggs filled with powder that get hurled at your face, the bags of powder that get thrown into buses and auto-rickshaws while they're driving, 5 gallon buckets of dye thrown from the rooftops, etc.

            Meh. I didn't get any colour thrown into my open eyes, but my face was pretty much covered in it. And eventhough I sweat, and some must've come into my eyes, it didn't bother me. It was fun showering afterwards!

            It's because India's fundamentally multi cultural and because of so many cultures/religions that live together in small areas, everyone enjoys each other's festivals and people just like to share each other's happiness. Also, they fucking love parties.

              I remember seeing this whole photoshoot on a blog a friend linked to me somewhere. If I recall, while inspired by Holi, I think this particular picture wasn't shot there. Ugh, my Google-fu is so weak right now ...

              EDIT: Still looking dammit. If you wanna help me out, the defining features of it that I remember were: 1. It was an arts and design blog 2. It was in French, seemed to be fairly Paris-centric. 3. Strong emphasis on photographic arts

              FOUND IT! HOLY SHIT! http://blog.gaborit-d.com/topheadz-war-a-berlin-la-guerre-en-couleurs-et-en-skateboard/

              Appears to have yes, been a nod to Holi, and shot in Berlin.

              My brain can finally rest. Jesus christ.

              "Holi" is the usual English translation, but I can go along with that.

              That place looks GNARLY to skate. Vert with hardly any flat bottom. That'd be WELL sketchy.
