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.

FAMOUS PERSON VISITS SAME WEBSITE I DO

[–]db2 -1 points0 points ago

You're awesome at satire.

[–]patattack98 2 points3 points ago

I bet you thought no one ever posted that!

[–]marcospolos 31 points32 points ago

Oh man, a gif I can totally relate to. Isn't sharing macroimages so much easier than real emotion?

[–]AssassinFlonne 7 points8 points ago

To be fair, if he had simply typed "WHO GIVES A SHIT" in bold lettering, he wouldn't have gotten nearly as many upvotes.

[–]Jymotion 5 points6 points ago

which goes back to marcospolos' remark that people are suckers for macroimages

[–]LuridTeaParty 1 point2 points ago

Isn't an image usually more emotionally triggering than text? Call me a sucker for reaction gifs, but I don't see the use in complaining about the lack of connection we're making to each other through the use of images when the alternative is plain text.

Limited as they can be to expressing yourself in some instances, repetitive as jokes in more, reaction gifs do a lot more sometimes in others, especially where you want well, just a reaction, a face.

Is part of the issue that reactions like this don't add anything substantial to the discussion? That in a comment thread, we have the option of composing more thoughtful comments, rather than cluttering space as though it were a chat room?

Maybe that's what needed I think. A site where instead of comment sections, or hell, have both, users can chit chat with their reactions and short thoughts, and leave the static comments to longer, relevant remarks, source links and what have you.

I don't know, I always got a million ideas, and it's 6am. Anyway thanks for reading strangers.

[–]Jymotion 1 point2 points ago

you make some very good points. I've developed a relatively blanket hatred for gif reaction comments because of how they are used. I can't tell you how many times I've seen the asian guy leaning back in his chair giving a thumbs up, or the guy from Castle about to say something then stops, or a black and white gif of a guy clapping in a theater. I think it's the lack of originality and the questionable intentions that bother me. Sometimes the usage is perfect and explains exactly how you are feeling, like this one. However, like almost everything on reddit, it starts with someone being original and getting a ton of points, then ends up with people regurgitating old jokes in an attempt to gain meaningless points.

It's the difference between "My current emotions exactly match this scene from an old movie, so I'll find a gif and post it" and "which one of these gifs saved on my computer is most relevant". It seems petty, but the second one encourages lack of originality, which gets old and eventually annoying. It bothers me most in the more specific subreddits such as sports-related ones. When something major happens, the top post is often "my reaction to today's news" with a gif of someone being happy, rather than an actual article or discussion about the news.

Sorry for the rant. You made me think more about it than I previously had.

[–]marcospolos 0 points1 point ago

Stranger reporting in. 4chan is basically set up this way.

... when's the last time you got real emotion over the internet?

Were you expecting him to call you and tell you personally that he doesn't give a shit?

We're tired of seeing this over and over. Glad a bunch of diggers upvoted it.

[–]thebeefytaco 0 points1 point ago

You start to give a shit when you see the same stuff over and over and over.

2 days ago was my 1st reddit birthday. I had not seen this, and I am happy to have gotten the chance to see it now. Upvote to Scotcha.

[–]scififaninphx 5 points6 points ago

Upvote to yunododat for being polite and positive.

[–]happywaffle 34 points35 points ago

If it was a year ago, it's especially likely that many Redditors haven't seen it.

[–]Runfromidiots -2 points-1 points ago*

Everything from Mr. Colbert is always relevant. He is the exception to reposts.

[–]happywaffle 2 points3 points ago

Reposts. No apostrophe.

[–]Scotchya_12[S] 58 points59 points ago

I apologize that it is a repost. I had not seen it before. Please forgive me.

[–]Zoccihedron 10 points11 points ago

I had not seen it either.

[–]Shurebis 3 points4 points ago

We forgive you. :')

[–]Oxxide 3 points4 points ago

THIS TIME

[–]FreshFruitCup -1 points0 points ago

The best part of that post is the first response and image and response about the good job on the reflection are nearly identical...

[–]detorn 1 point2 points ago

wearing that shit would make me panicy all day

[–]mityman50 6 points7 points ago

I find his reflection in the mirror to be frightening. Also, when did it become so cool to be a dick on Reddit and downvote accidental reposts? Even old ones?

[–]Zoccihedron 4 points5 points ago

It has been this way for a long time. People are not on reddit all the time so not everyone sees every post. I had not seen this picture before and I am sure there are a good deal of people who had not seen it either but enjoyed seeing it.

[–]Trapped_in_Reddit 5 points6 points ago

What a karma whore.

[–]Son_of_the_Morning -2 points-1 points ago

I personally thought your mother was a decent person, sure she has her problems, but who doesn't?

In case you're retarded, that smile is pretty ironic and sarcastic.

[–]turbo_time 0 points1 point ago

He looks oddly creepy from side profile... check out his face in the mirror. ಠ_ಠ

[–]EternalRose 0 points1 point ago

Oh Stephen, you're such a Karma Whore.

[–]Radico87 0 points1 point ago

Do a search to make sure you're not diluting the subreddit with constant reposts. Which you just did.

[–]Maxatron4000 0 points1 point ago

Only time a picture on Reddit has more chance of front paging than boobs.

[–]devjin -1 points0 points ago

Sadly, you are not, with your repost.

[–]gnihtemoS -1 points0 points ago

Colbert / Stewart need their own subreddit...

[–]Boyorgirlwhoknows -2 points-1 points ago

Stephen Fry or Stephen Colbert?
