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 now wonder which came first, that comic or this icon I've been seeing around forever:

Math, we know drama

Well, that's only true for straight lines.

Sounds like somebody needs to get with the non-Euclidean program.

Lines on a sphere - going around in circles, repeating the same stuff, forever.

That's pretty sad too.

Fractals. Complexity at every level, never a dull moment, and take an infinite length to get anywhere.

I like fractals.

Unless the two lines are skew lines in 3 dimensions. Then they never meet. :( </3

sin and cosine curves have it pretty good

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

They can only be friends with {-1,...,1}. Never anybody else. Granted there are just as many friends in {-1,...1} as R-{-1,...,1}.

Shouldn't you denote set minus as ∖ or \?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Some people do. Its not great on the internet because it thinks its formatting sometimes.

"Now you see, two sine waves will meet and drift apart but they will always come back together again. So... what's your sine?"

Now I'm not only depressed, I'm geometry-depressed

Which I imagine is the worst kind...

[–]TotalBunk 1 point2 points ago

an infinitely long line is also a circle, so it actually intersects an infinite number of times.

[–]DFractalH 0 points1 point ago

I never heard that one before, but I'm going for an intro in topology and geometry next semester.

Where I can I read up on details of your claim?

[–]Chronophilia 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I think he's talking about the Riemann Sphere. Though I should add: non-parallel lines still only meet twice. Once in the normal, Euclidean way, and once at infinity.

Well, that was my "Wooaaaah"-moment of the day, I assume.

The could be coincident lines that are together forever.

So parallel lines on top of each other are having permanent sex

[–]Aory 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I'm surprised nobody posted that if they are the same line, then they always meet... forever... oh I suppose thats sad too.

[–]almosttherebutnotrea 0 points1 point ago

Or this.

Couldn't find the source, I just remember seeing it on tumblr.

Never heard anything about non-euclidian geometry then, right? Especially not about elliptic geometry, those whores ...

[–]OpenWound 0 points1 point ago

In projective space, all lines meet at infinity.

[–]Ink_in_the_Marrow 0 points1 point ago

Parallel lines will never meet... Unless you look at them through a glass.

The person who drew this also has the "cut on the dotted line" tattoos on their wrists, guaranteed.

[–]mcrackin 0 points1 point ago

What about the non-linear function x2=y? As x approaches 0 from both the left and the right they get closer and closer together. They don't ever become the same thing exactly, but who wants that anyways?

I'd rather meet once than never at all.

[–]TheDroopy 0 points1 point ago

Tough choice, at least the parallels don't know what they're missing for the rest of infinity

Maybe we actually live in a world of non euclidean geometry.

Asymptotes get closer than you can possible believe to a function, but never… quite… touch…

FTFY

[–]marchaeus 0 points1 point ago

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

Technically you can have two lines be parallel and touch. Just would be two lines with the same y intercept and slope. Only looks like they are two. But like all lasting relationships, the two lovers become one. I'm sorry I get deep past midnight.
