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.

Typical mother, she is looking at him/her as if was their fault.

My wife isn't a golfer but we took her anyway. We were on a tough hole, the green was over water. She hit a magnificent shot. Although she topped the ball and it never flew more than 6 inches off the ground, it skimmed the top of the body of water more than a few times on its way over. It was rocketing in all it's glory toward the hole, the only thing in its way was a duckling much like those in this picture.

The ducking stopped that shot with its neck. Snap! But instead of dying instantly, the little duckling flailed seemingly endlessly until the mother duck began to stomp furiously on the little thing. Surely in an attempt to end its misery, the mother continued to stomp on the duckling until she was able to stomp it toward the water, whereby she held it under the surface with her foot, drowning it.

tl;dr Wife never played golf again.

Natural selection in action. Future ducks will evolve to avoid speeding golf balls.

I find a duck's opinion of me is very much influenced by whether or not I have bread. Ducks love bread, but they can't buy any. That's the biggest joke on the duck ever.

That's how mother ducks discipline their babies. They squash the shit out of them.

When I was a kid, my brother adopted a duckling that imprinted him as it's mom. It would follow him around; at night it wouldn't shut up unless it could curl up by his head. Unfortunately, when "mommy" steps on this duckling, there's no going back.

You sure? Looks a helluva lot like a mallard to me.

Google search shows them to be pretty much identical. What makes you say black duck ... just out of curiosity?

[–]sn972 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Female mallards don't have purple cohorts. They do look very similar, but that purple is the give away.

[–]big_onion 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

So confused. I guess I'm just not seeing the color difference. Looks blue to me. Either way, very cool. :)

[–]sn972 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Looks like I am wrong I forgot that mallard's go white,black,purple/ blue ( depends on the subspecies, there are a few variations) and the black duck just goes black to purple. So yes I stand corrected...whoops, now I feel like a jackass, lol.
