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.

  6. No animated images. Please submit them to /r/gif, /r/gifs, or /r/reactiongifs instead.

  • 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.

                    Doesn't matter, the bicyclist and the buildings are what make it great. Instead of of a wall you see homes, instead of a barrier you have a man flying by without a second thought.

                        Great picture. I love the train, and even 35 years later these men still have the look of a group of old friends.

                        The relationship between the two pictures speaks one word to me: nostalgia.

                          Yes I think so. I initially thought it must be a promo pic for his band or some such.

                          Saw the second photo and instantly saw him. He is unrecognisable in the older photo though!

                            It is the variety of people, ages, source photos, and time differences that really makes it. One gets the sense of many different lives led. Fer is my current favorite, though that changes every time I look at the sets.

                                  They probably didn't stand there that long. More than likely they took the first pic, went about their lives, then came back for the second pic. That's the way I would have done it.

                                  The very fact that they stayed in touch, and alive, after 35 years, is impressive.

                                  You would be astounded by the improvements that have been made in preparation for the expected influx of visiting guests for the Olympic games.

                                  The latest stock feature a disembodied voice announcing the next station (its most often wrong, but that's computational engines for you), new fangled air-conditioning and 'through car' windows so you can enjoy the spectacle of some poor soul being mugged at the other end of the train!

                                  Unsurprisingly not the only thing that they've continued using on the Isle of Wight despite its age. Everyone's had the same cousins for the past two thousand years, for a start.

                                  You're being unfair. Much has been improved recently. They have replaced almost all the gas street lighting, for a start.

                                  I will admit that they have reduced the incidence of cholera to an all-time low now that they've convinced most (if not all) of the islanders to stop defecating in the street.

                                  (Seriously I hate that fucking place. I once wrote a short story about the British army nuking the place and it doesn't even come close to the level of hatred I have for it.)

                                  Hey, we do buy new clothes, you know? Usually around the age of 56, we go from a t-shirt and jeans to a shirt with slacks.

                                  But that's it.

                                  EDIT: I am indeed English, but damned if I'll defend my use of the word 'slacks'. In fact, I'll say it again.

                                  Slacks.

                                                  Are you for real? When I saw this picture I was like "I'm going to comment "Billy Fucking Bragg.""

                                                  But then you went ahead and did it with a link... well played sir.

                                                  I grew up listening to Billy Bragg and I was born in the 90's... My dad's obsessed.

                                                  Thank God! I thought I was going to have to scroll all the way down.

                                                  One concern I've always had with the great Bragg is the line 'Just because I dress like this / Doesn't mean I'm a communist'. I mean, he kinda is, so doesn't it?

                                                  He's a socialist, not a communist, and it's really a commentary on the perception of people living below the poverty line in 80s England - lack of money doesn't equal communist tendancies.

                                                  I know. I was making a silly joke, which clearly fell flat.

                                                  It's sung from the perspective of a poorer, blue-collar guy who's saying he doesn't dress like this to put on commie airs. But yeah, Billy is definitely a socialist, bordering on communist.

                                                  Also: I think we'd probably call blue-collar 'working class' in the UK.

                                                  I'd just gotten the hang of blue & white collar when someone mentioned pink collar. NFI where that fits in.

                                                  To me pink shirts usally mean really posh, but I suppose they could also be 'bros' or gays. What's the actual definition?

                                                      Is that him? I love Billy Bragg and have seen him live once, but didn't recognize him in the pic. Btw, he has the best Peel Sessions album of all time.

                                                      I'm wondering where the second photo was taken. That sort of grab handle hasn't existed on the tube for many years now, so I'm guessing the photo must have been taken in a transport museum.

                                                      The first photo is taken in 59 or 62 stock. The second photo is in 38 stock - note the shovel lamp shades, lack of strip lights and pattern of vent above the door. The London Transport Museum has a 38 stock car at Covent Garden, and an operational four car train stored at Acton, so it could be either of them. As far as I remember both have green interior paintwork not blue, so the photo might have been photoshopped.

                                                      It's not taken in an Isle of Wight 38 stock, as they have striplights, no shovel lamps or bobble straps, and a different moquette.

                                                      Probably.

                                                      The other possibility is the Isle of Wight. The Island Line has been using second hand underground trains for decades. Anyone know if they look anything like this inside?

                                                      Although I think some of the older District line trains still use that sort of handle.

                                                      edit: oops. Spelling.

                                                              I see.

                                                              Some time ago reddit was aghast that I had never heard of Ke$ha.

                                                              In thirty years time will she have had the kind of career impact that Billy Bragg has? Does she even still have a (music) career now?

                                                              I saw Bragg in my local venue in my town of Waterford in Ireland. It was an odd place to find him. He was great. But what was even more great was seeing how many people in their 40's-60's had come down to see him and seemed to know every word.
