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.

[–]Linktank 52 points53 points ago

Better question, where is it right now?

[–]rabarrett 13 points14 points ago

I believe it is Pacifidlog town

[–]falafel_waffle 5 points6 points ago

You got here 11 hours before me, well played.

[–]iamnatehewa[S] 20 points21 points ago

Right off the coast of Fun Island obviously.

[–]alm16h7y1 3 points4 points ago

Came here to ask this. Needless to say, this has provided little help.

[–]I_NO_Right 1 point2 points ago

And what is their insurance liability rate for this? Jeez, you younguns, get off my lawn.

[–]zifu 12 points13 points ago

At expensive tropical resorts you still can't afford to visit.

[–]theamazingkort 6 points7 points ago

I used to rent out slides like this. We bought a brand new one, 25 feet high, 75 feet long. It was $6,500 brand new. So judging from that, I'd say that there's about 8 of those combined into that island thing. Sooo. 6,500 x 8 = $52,000. Realistically it probably costs between 20,000 and 45,000. So yeah, that thing is INSANELY expensive.

[–]River_Jones 2 points3 points ago

Yea all the money is going towards the debt from those floats.

[–]I_NO_Right 1 point2 points ago

At expensive tropical resorts, that you will never be able to afford to visit. FTFY

[–]ArthurRiot 11 points12 points ago

Just, you know, in case you are curious

[–]gbimmer 8 points9 points ago

HOW MUCH!?!?!

Seriously. How much?

[–]ArthurRiot 5 points6 points ago

All the money. All of it.

You're still considering this, aren't you?

[–]DancesWithBovine 2 points3 points ago

Inflation time: 180 minutes......I call bullshit

[–]Halpert 2 points3 points ago

It's probably much smaller in real life, like that one picture of the disappointed toddler next to a tiny inflatable slide

[–]touchy610 1 point2 points ago

That's with 7 of those same kinds of inflation pumps used for bounce houses, so not inconceivable.

[–]strothgar 21 points22 points ago

Six fathers died...gasp...gasp.. inflating this toy....

[–]juspeter 6 points7 points ago

Waterworld would've been a much more entertaining movie if it had this.

[–]iHateTetris 7 points8 points ago

Looks like a level from Super Mario Sunshine.

[–]lengthynewt 6 points7 points ago

I must be too old for this because all I can think is "Wow, I'd have the worst backache the day after playing on this."

[–]ProsithiusErvingMott 1 point2 points ago

I was wondering if I am too fat for it to hold me up without collapsing

[–]MrJibberJabber 4 points5 points ago

I would give all my monies for this

[–]Tiller42 3 points4 points ago

Has anybody else seen the movie Deep Blue Sea?

[–]pamporidis 4 points5 points ago

I was going to say that this looks exactly like the set from deep blue sea! Glad to see that I am not the only one that has noticed :D

[–]metarugia 2 points3 points ago

Yup, same. In fact... now that I'm remembering the movie, I'd be somewhat scared to go on that set. I just pictured sharks... EVERYWHERE!

[–]fillari 3 points4 points ago

ok so get 4 throwers on each trampoline with dodge balls and then people run around the outside avoiding the pegs until there is only one... hows that for an afternoon? [7]

[–]iamnatehewa[S] 4 points5 points ago

Flamethrowers?

[–]Nesman64 1 point2 points ago

Who fetches the balls that miss?

[–]fillari 0 points1 point ago

already thought of this... little brothers

[–]Kumivene 3 points4 points ago

In the back yard of the super rich kids summer home.

[–]IHATEBETTYWHITE 2 points3 points ago

Did anyone else think it was a toy playset?

[–]hukdonfoniks 3 points4 points ago

Hm, well this doesn't look that impressive. I mean, the plastic looks pretty cheap, those figures look like they would break real easy, my legos were cooler than that, and by the way, what is the deal with this crappy blue paint...HOLY CRAP THAT IS PEOPLE ON A THING!?

Take my money.

Just shut up and take it.

[–]FAPSLOCK 5 points6 points ago

It was called Waterworld and it fucking sucked.

[–]kikithemonkey 2 points3 points ago

This belongs in SUATMM!

[–]TheSemiTallest 1 point2 points ago

It's been there.

[–]sheravi 2 points3 points ago

Toys and such these days are incredible. My wife and I just bought some christmas toys for our daughter that would have been considered advanced robotics when I was a kid.

[–]dybs 2 points3 points ago

It took me a second to get what it was. At first I thought it was like some sort of combination Army men/Hot Wheels/Sim City retro toy that I missed out on as a child.......In retrospect, regardless of the outcome I still missed out as a child.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

Would be awesome - until you get to experience the horrifying panic of being trapped underneath one.

[–]Autogrex 2 points3 points ago

Probably in the rich kids' neighborhood.

[–]chattcyclist 2 points3 points ago

They have it at Callaway Gardens in Pine Mountain GA. They used to have a less epic setup, but some teenagers were rough housing on it at night and popped it a few years back. They had this setup last year, and I can testify to it's awesomeness. The tall part where the kid is jumping off has handles on the other side so you can climb up (not as easy as it seems). It is a blast for sure!

[–]famebrella 2 points3 points ago

They had this when I was growing up. It was run by a gang called the smokers. My friend kevin who had long hair and weird ears helped protect me from that unruly mob.

[–]shewok 1 point2 points ago

Way freaking better than a Slip 'N Slide.

[–]battle_hardened 1 point2 points ago

Holy F, having that while growing up would have been more awesome than awesomeness itself

[–]goose1028 1 point2 points ago

what is this called, anyone?

[–]Origin_Of_Feces 1 point2 points ago

Added to the wish list.

[–]tuxedojacob 1 point2 points ago

About 10 grand that way. --->

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

I remember seeing one of these things in the Virgin Islands 7 or 8 years ago.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

22,000 dollars away.

[–]Rajio 1 point2 points ago

Same place it is now; where the rich folk at.

[–]escapist11 1 point2 points ago

WTF NOT FAIR.

[–]snailbotic 1 point2 points ago

It was still being aired up

[–]mftom 1 point2 points ago

Is this thing floating out to sea?

[–]BennyBlaze 1 point2 points ago

Id happily board this thing knowing its about to go off the Niagra Falls

[–]Zarris 1 point2 points ago

Is it just me, or does this look almost exactly like a certain lava level from Mario 64?

[–]Dirmione 1 point2 points ago

I can't be the only one who thought of pacifilog town?

[–]jedadkins 1 point2 points ago

Kid? Where is this now

[–]frozenphil 1 point2 points ago

Being reposted, same as it is now.

[–]mijreggin 1 point2 points ago

Thought I was looking at a Roller Coaster Tycoon expansion for a second.

[–]Jon2397 1 point2 points ago

At the 1%'s house

[–]CrazyBird 1 point2 points ago

I bet this is what the flotilla from Snow Crash was like.

[–]capt_slippy_fists 1 point2 points ago

I had mother fucking metal and wood cars GOD DAMMIT! lincoln logs and shit.

[–]Maynguene_banana 1 point2 points ago

In the future

[–]Dangl_sniper 1 point2 points ago

This would be enjoyed at r/shutupandtakemymoney

[–]mcsweden 1 point2 points ago

Whoa!! That would have been stellar! Yeah, where is it now?? Gonna guess Michigan.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

it was at Mitt Romney's beach house. He likes water adventures.

[–]Flint_Westwood -1 points0 points ago

This is a repost from fucking YESTERDAY.

[–]AnEpicPerson -1 points0 points ago

RUH-RUH-RUH-REPOST!

But that's okay. It's still cool.

[–]cheesemanxl -2 points-1 points ago

Look at this cool picture i saw on reddit! ... you know how will love it? REDDIT

[–]threeninjas -2 points-1 points ago
