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.

Here, I fixed that for you

[–]gstatty 27 points28 points ago

Mati really got the shittiest power didn't he?

[–]hobbit6 15 points16 points ago

[–]gstatty 4 points5 points ago

haha, awesome! but really fire would get you more bitches, heart would just have women talking to you about their feeeeeelings.

[–]hobbit6 11 points12 points ago

"Sleep with me?"

"No."

HEART

"OK."

[–]gstatty 10 points11 points ago

Your logic can be used in a multitude of ways.

"Sleep with me?"

"No"

FIRE

"OK."

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points ago

Basically the same as getting sex at gunpoint, which is probably rape.

[–]dlink 9 points10 points ago

Nah. They'd sleep with him because of the implication.

[–]archonemis 1 point2 points ago

No one's going to get hurt.

It's just the implication.

[–]sillymuffincakes 0 points1 point ago

Upvotes for the awesome Sunny in Philadelphia references you jabronies!

[–]qwertytwo 5 points6 points ago

Probably.

[–]cakedestroyer 2 points3 points ago

...Probably?

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

Hey man, I ain't no lawyer.

[–]hobbit6 3 points4 points ago

Again, even in a rape case

"We the jury, on the count of rape in the first degree, we find the defendant, Ma-Ti..."

HEART

"...not guilty."

[–]darkmooninc 0 points1 point ago

I dunno. One of my exes loved to have cigarettes put out on her arm.

[–]Aitrus233 2 points3 points ago

From wiki: Ma-Ti uses the power of Heart to instill caring, passion, and sympathy into the people of the world to care for the planet. He can also use this power to communicate with animals telepathically.

So he's basically an Indigo Tribesman plus Animal Man?

[–]captainAwesomePants 1 point2 points ago

I dunno, it worked as a cell phone, which at the time would've made it the smallest and therefore coolest cell phone on the planet.

[–]PurpleSfinx 1 point2 points ago

No because his real power was having a monkey that could rip your fucking face off.

[–]AdrianBrony 0 points1 point ago

he was also able to read minds. but nobody really cares about that.

[–]migle75 34 points35 points ago

the reflection of the heart is invisible =O YOU HAVE NO HEART SIR!

[–]sillymuffincakes 43 points44 points ago

[–]Killroyomega 23 points24 points ago

Then why could the kid talk to monkeys?

WHY COULD HE TALK TO MONKEYS‽

[–]Cuchulain1803 11 points12 points ago

Ah, the interrobang.

[–]icedbecauseican 6 points7 points ago

... Is it weird that this made me kinda hungry?

[–]PurpleSfinx 0 points1 point ago

Wind and water are still around the wrong way!

[–]goodBEan 5 points6 points ago

fix the reflection and switch the wind and water

[–]DerEnder 3 points4 points ago

That or he's a vampire...

[–]360walkaway 2 points3 points ago

It's a vampire heart.

[–]Alpay93 14 points15 points ago

WITH THESE POWERS COMBINED HE IS CAPTAIN PLANET

[–]WendyLRogers3 5 points6 points ago

[–]slayerhk47 1 point2 points ago

What the? Is that Ted Turner?

[–]shamrock8421 19 points20 points ago

Captain Planet was the least logical show I think I've ever seen. These kids had rings that gave them incredible powers to influence elemental forces and in Ma-Ti's case THE ABILITY TO INFLUENCE THOUGHT and what do they use these amazing rings to do? Summon the worst goddamn superhero that ever lived. Captain Planet's job is to protect the Earth and his only weakness is pollution. That'd be like if Superman's only weakness was getting punched in the face.

Inevitably, they'd summon Captain Planet (making their rings useless) and he'd inevitably get garbage thrown on him or smoke blasted in his face and he'd be completely helpless until they washed him off.

Alternate Captain Planet episode: "Mr. President, my friends and I are awfully worried about how the dude that looks like a rat is dumping raw sewage into the ocean and the nuclear guy seems to be enriching uranium..."

"Aw shucks, I'm sorry kids, but Mr. Greedly is my biggest campaign contributor and voters are more worried about jobs than the environment..."

"Ma-Ti, if you would be so kind..."

*Red light flashes, magic noises

"I AM AT YOUR COMMAND, PLANETEERS, MY ADMINISTRATION WILL BEGIN AGGRESSIVELY ATTACKING CLIMATE CHANGE AT ONCE!"

Scene

[–]WendyLRogers3 2 points3 points ago

Captain Planet was not the worst superhero.

Meet Captain Euro

Oh, and be sure to check out the "baddies".

[–]Killroyomega 2 points3 points ago

CONFIDENTIAL: Dr D Vider is an excellent cook, and a very discerning customer of some of Europe's finest restaurants.

Why the fuck is that confidential?

[–]derptyherp 0 points1 point ago*

I take your Captain Euro and raise you Rape Man.

Edit: And for good measure, I give you Bible Man! Who I actually did grow up with, yes.

[–]SlimMaculate 2 points3 points ago

I theorize that they mainly used their rings to only summon Captain Planet because they realized their powers individually could cause harm to the environment. The Fire ring could cause a forest fire. The Water ring could summon a tsunami which could destroy a forest. Earth ring could cause mudslide or earthquake which would knock down all the trees in a forest. Wind could create a tornado which could level a forest. And the Heart ring could influence Canadians to move to the forest!

[–]ragnarocknroll 9 points10 points ago

What bothers me more is that they are out of order. Earth, Fire, Wind, Water

Come on folks, you don't put the opposite elements next to one another.

[–]patefoisgras 1 point2 points ago

Aren't there 5 elements anyway?

[–]vandal823 1 point2 points ago

6, if you count the element of surprise..

[–]ragnarocknroll 0 points1 point ago

Yea, but at least get the first four right before you go to heart. ;)

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

I was expecting Lilo. lol

[–]beatski 0 points1 point ago

*leeloo

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

WOW. I totally googled that too.. still managed to fuck it up.

[–]LiteralPhilosopher 1 point2 points ago

The irregular spacing of the 'heart' glass, massive addition of blackspace, and the overall lack of centered-ness make my brain hurt.
ಠ_ಠ

[–]BrentNewbury 2 points3 points ago*

What about Bose-Einstein condensate?

Edit: This is assuming that the fifth addition is indeed plasma.

Edit (again): Nope, that's a heart... I should've enlarged the image

[–]Martze 6 points7 points ago

We're talking about Aristotle's classical elements, not states of matter.

[–]BrentNewbury 3 points4 points ago

You're 100% correct. I even thought the heart was plasma at first. It's been a long day + a headache. Firing up the laptop was probably not a good idea tonight.

Have an upvote. ;-)

[–]rosemary85 1 point2 points ago

Pssst: Empedocles, not Aristotle.

[–]darkmooninc 1 point2 points ago

We're talking about Elements of Style by Strunk and White.

[–]CommissionerValchek 0 points1 point ago

I always try to predict the top comment. This is the first time my guess has been perfectly accurate.

[–]Jnayyy310 148 points149 points ago

Water. Earth. Fire. Air. Long ago, the four nations live together in harmony. Then everything change when the Fire nation attacked..

[–]turnburns4 52 points53 points ago

Only the Avatar, master of all four elements could stop them.. But when the world needed him most... He vanished...

[–]YNot1989 52 points53 points ago

A hundred years passed and my brother and I discovered the new Avatar, an airbender named Aang. And although his airbending skills are great, he has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone.

[–]project___mayhem 35 points36 points ago*

But I believe, Aang can save the world.

EDIT: for those of you that don't know this exists... it does. (I just found it and made my life 100 times better)

[–]hulkman 5 points6 points ago

Edit: no you did not. thank you.

[–]complex_reduction 1 point2 points ago

No. It's legit. Quality is pretty standard def but audio is fine, definitely watchable.

[–]JohnAdamZiolkowski 1 point2 points ago

Hahah thank you for coming back to edit that :P

Edit: Fire water. Oh god my sides.

[–]darkmooninc 1 point2 points ago

Native American elements. Fire water is the strongest of all.

[–]idonotcollectstamps 7 points8 points ago

[–]Handout 12 points13 points ago

I did something like this for my wedding.. We had four tables, each with the elemental theme and then our table's element was 'love'.

[–]Uhrschnur 32 points33 points ago

gaaaaayyyyy

[–]Handout 5 points6 points ago

No, I married someone of the opposite gender. Even if we were same gender, though, it still would have looked just as nice.

[–]darkmooninc 4 points5 points ago

Straaaaaaaight

[–]slyguy183 1 point2 points ago

[–]LiteralPhilosopher 20 points21 points ago

Fuckin' magnets, how do they work?

[–]9sp7ky3 5 points6 points ago

What a rip! That last glass is empty!

[–]redfive5tandingby 6 points7 points ago

There's air in all of these. That soil is aerated. The fire needs oxygen to burn. And there is space between the ice and the water with air in it.

[–]draivaden 2 points3 points ago

The Avatar was here.

[–]badjettasex 3 points4 points ago

But now Korra is here

[–]draivaden 0 points1 point ago

That's not actually bigger; the content is the same size, but the canvas has been enlarged to 1920x1080, I assume for use as a background. The image itself isn't any higher resolution.

[–]andrewsmith1986 1 point2 points ago

Where is heart?

How would captain planet save the environment without heart?

[–]darkmooninc 1 point2 points ago

so he's heartless? Capitan America is heartless?

Better get Sora, Donald, and Goofy on the case.

[–]HighschoolFreshmen 3 points4 points ago

He doesn't use heart because he's not a faggot.

[–]stereoa 12 points13 points ago

Seriously I always felt bad for that kid. What a shitty element. At least he has a monkey.

anyone else notice that the top of the plant is gone in the reflection?

[–]WendyLRogers3 0 points1 point ago

While both the West and the East used to describe illnesses based on the four elements, the East had some really interesting logic involved. If you ignore any mysticism and take, say, acupuncture at face value, it used a very comprehensive system of medical diagnosis that could be technologically reproduced today.

For example, they noted a direct correlation between health conditions and the tenor of the voice, such as wheezing, sighing, shouting, etc., that can be objectively proven. Likewise the odor of the breath in many cases, the breath potentially containing several different chemicals with distinct odors, based on the condition of the GI and respiratory tracts.
