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.

MIRV stands for Multiple Independently targetable Re-entry Vehicle. One carrier vehicle (the peacekeeper missile being pictured here) can carry up to ten warheads, each of which can be programmed to hit a different target.

The ingenuity mankind displays in killing each other is unmatchable.

[–]fustercluck 3 points4 points ago

So, pardon the dumb question, but is each streak of light a missile taking off, or an inbound warhead?

It's scary either way, but I want to know.

[–]sidney_crago[S] 2 points3 points ago

Inbound warheads. The carrier vehicle is either launched from a land based silo or submarine, it enters orbit, and deploys it's warheads when over the target area. Each one is delivered balistically to it's target, steering themselves with control surfaces.

[–]fustercluck 1 point2 points ago

somehow that makes it even more terrifying IMO.

Thanks.

[–]ilikefries 1 point2 points ago

It's a time lapse of the inbound nuclear warheads.

[–]fustercluck 1 point2 points ago

I understand it's time-lapse.

They're missiles, not particle weapons.

[–]Joshrules 2 points3 points ago

Scariest thing I will see all day.

[–]Rum_Titan 1 point2 points ago

I second that

[–]Thabass 1 point2 points ago

I'll third it.

[–]MyOtherLoginIsClever 2 points3 points ago

It would 9/11 times a hundred.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

Jesus, that's...

[–]KyleD2303 2 points3 points ago

900/1100

[–]Mute_Kid 2 points3 points ago

No, it is just 900/11

[–]KyleD2303 0 points1 point ago

I wasn't thinking of it as a fraction. That makes more sense and you are correct. Upvote, good sir.

Awing?

[–]Corryvrecken 1 point2 points ago

Awing present participle of awe
