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.

I love being able to see a distinct edge of rainfall, it's a very humbling thing to see.

[–]SirManbearpig[!] 1 point2 points ago

A lot of people say that, but I prefer fucking them in their vacuum-pussy.

[–]Rhesusmonkeydave 4 points5 points ago

The Spaniards mostly come at night. ...mostly.

Moistly?

[–]The_Starchivist 1 point2 points ago

That's just insane

[–]knudow 51 points52 points ago

Fun fact: Spanish translates "The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain" as "La lluvia en Sevilla es una maravilla" (Rain in Seville is a wonder)

It also rhymes and it's still in Spain!

[–]Not_A_Pink_Pony 24 points25 points ago

The Danish version is even worse, roughly translated to English it goes: "A snail on the road is a sign of rain, in Spain.", the reason is that the Danish words for snail, road, sign & rain rhyme :)

[–]xG33Kx 11 points12 points ago

Are you sure you're not a pink pony?

[–]TheVenetianMask 15 points16 points ago

Fun fact: that translation was used often by foreigners to train the pronunciation of "ll", which was different to "y". Nowadays though they are both pronounced the same in Spain.

[–]1877KARS4KIDS 37 points38 points ago

That fact wasn't very fun.

[–]Boness 6 points7 points ago

Most fun facts aren't, sadly.

[–]1877KARS4KIDS 1 point2 points ago

Those facts should come with bubble wrap. Then no matter how lame the fact is, you have bubble wrap to pop.

[–]thebackhand 4 points5 points ago

How were they pronounced differently?

[–]mamashaq 10 points11 points ago*

The merging is called Yeísmo.

Back in the day (and still today in many dialects in S. America) there was a distinction between <ll>, pronounced /ʎ/ (a palatal lateral approximant, or the <gl> sound in Italian) and <y>, in most dialects pronounced /ʝ/ (a voiced palatal fricative).

Both sounds are produced the same place in the mouth (the same location as the English <y>), but are produced in different manners. In the fricative /ʝ/, air flow is constricted through a narrow channel at the place of articulation, causing turbulence, whereas in the approximant /ʎ/, the vocal tract is narrowed at the place of articulation, but not enough to produce a turbulent airstream.

Now, in dialects with yeísmo, both <y> and <ll> are for the most part pronounced as a /ʝ/, though in Rioplatenese Spanish (in Argentina & Uruguay), the merged sound is a ([ʒ] (French <j> in Je, or English <s> in treasure) or [ʃ] (Eng <sh>)).

Edit: formatting links.

[–]viralizate 1 point2 points ago

Are you Spanish? I'm Uruguayan and as far a I can distinguish you differentiate the "ll" and "y" quite a lot.

In Uruguay, for the newer generations specially, the difference is lost for good, it is all pronounced as "ll". On Argentina, specially Buenos Aires, the difference is quite noticeable, but as far as I recall, I always heard Spanish guys pronounce it correctly.

[–]DFSniper 2 points3 points ago

My Spanish teacher was taught by an argentinian and was taught that one of them makes a sort of "gj" sound. It's hard to explain in writing.

[–]aakaakaak 15 points16 points ago

"My Fair Lady" (with Audrey Hepburn) is my dad's feel-good movie.

I was really young when all the Rodgers and Hammerstein sort of musicals were drilled into my head.

[–]nermalstretch 1 point2 points ago

Like this?

[–]Steve_the_Scout 1 point2 points ago

If you wanted to literally translate "The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain", it would translate to "La lluvia en España se queda principalmente en el país/la llanura."

It'd be awesome if the literal translation DID rhyme, though.

[–]knudow 1 point2 points ago

Which is weird because the "plain" zones of Spain are mostly the ones where it doesn't rain so much xD

[–]ResidentDante 1 point2 points ago

Me gusta!

[–]wittywhit 36 points37 points ago

I once saw a plane fly through rain while walking down the main lane in Spain. I ran inside to save the pain of dampening my beautiful mane.

[–]MangoPenguin 31 points32 points ago

Forfeit the game before somebody else takes you out of the frame, and puts your name to shame. Cover up your face, you can't run a race. The pace is too fast you just won't last.

Yeah, better spend your time on useful things. Like pooping reversely.

[–]Captcha_Code 3 points4 points ago

Sigh. Time to dig out the old link for those who haven't tagged me.

Although I did do it the other day in a public stall when someone else came into the bathroom.

[–]amuricka 6 points7 points ago

[–]lurker_becomes_lurkd 2 points3 points ago

I have tagged you as "When home alone, partakes in particularly taboo activities."

[–]Z_T_O 1 point2 points ago

All this rhyming of the pain of a damp mane from rain on the plane over main lanes is Spain while forfeiting the game is playing havoc with my brain. I shall refrain from saying I may just go insane.

This image is obviously not reposted enough! Who's next?

[–]mastersprinkles 7 points8 points ago

Sometimes the repost is the first time I have seen it, so I'm not bothered by it. Also, not much wrong with seeing an awesome picture twice.

[–]BudMoore1234 12 points13 points ago

[–]mordenkainen 4 points5 points ago

I'm sorry, can you say that again?

[–]ryanasimov 1 point2 points ago

"Falling mainly on a plain" is more rhymey.

[–]SurpriseSpouse 39 points40 points ago

This reminds me of a time back in '09 when I was on a plane off to Michigan to visit family. I was looking out the window at a storm off in the distance and it looked kind of like that. Anyway, as I was looking out the window, I turned around because I was hearing a lot of commotion going on near the back of the plane. Apparently some schizophrenic guy was on board and he kept shouting about "Herby and the gang" so they had to land the plane to take him off. I thought it was pretty f'd up, but what could I do?

Anyway me and the flight attendant are married and have a daughter on the way.

[–]thevanillalatte 17 points18 points ago

Reddit takes itself far more seriously than I thought. It's one thing to joke about caring about reposts, but it's another matter to spend time building a machine that can spot them for you.

[–]Dusset 2 points3 points ago

Perhaps, the spain rain he saw from his plane was falling on a western plain, and perhaps he was first-class, playing games with fame?

Forget anything else you read in this thread or anywhere else, henceforth. I command thee to build thine self an ark. It shall be 400 cubits long, 100 cubits wide, and 70 upon 7 cubits in height. And, ye shall call forth thine sons and their wives to prepare for a trip that will last forty days and forty nights. And, yea though I have warned them, all life shall be smitten from the face of the Earth. Only the beasts of the sea will survive. But I have commanded that two of every kind, male and female, shall enter thine ark and they shall be brought to dry ground...with their aunties and uncles in Bel Air.

One of the most amazing things I've seen happened in 2000, when I took off from Sau Paulo in Brazil. It was a nighttime flight, and as we climbed out of the city we could see a massive thunderstorm pelting the buildings below with gales, rain, and bolts of lightning.

I'd never seen a thunderstorm from above before that moment, and I'll never forget the sight. It was truly awe-inspiring.
