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.

Is "Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V" really all that hard?

[–]iGilmer 8 points9 points ago

Agreed. This is actually insanely dumb that he took the time to make this .gif, but he had no time to google "easy ways to copy/paste".

I understand that the Ctrl commands aren't always common knowledge in most cases, but it just amazes me that he .gifed a slightly ridiculous solution when the easier, existent one is literally below his left hand. xD

I feel like this is solving a problem that doesn't really exist.

[–]molrobocop 0 points1 point ago

Or solving a solved problem with a less functional solution: Instead of pressing 2 keys simultaneously or use this toggle wheel.

[–]andrewsmith1986 8 points9 points ago

This would be so shitty.

  • it could break or get sticky

  • I have to move my hand to use it

Just set a macro.

[–]TheySeeMeComing 2 points3 points ago

make one that says UPVOTE and then DOWNVOTE… and then you can have all the moneys.

[–]onipos 2 points3 points ago

No.

[–]Davek804 5 points6 points ago

For the record, this is racist against lefties.

[–]usk49[S] 2 points3 points ago

Then im insulting myself:)

[–]Davek804 0 points1 point ago

As a leftie you would want this on the left side of the keyboard?! So that you take your left hand off of the mouse and use the spinwheel? Why not put it to the right of the numpad...?

[–]usk49[S] 0 points1 point ago

I keep the mouse on the right side, but im still a leftie.

[–]Davek804 1 point2 points ago

Gah I've met plenty of lefties that do that. I find myself doing it as well, to be honest. Especially if someone else uses my system and leaves the mouse over there. I'm perfectly ambidextrous when it comes to the mouse, but by preference it goes to the left :P

[–]130n35s 1 point2 points ago

Why would you change your configuration to try and make it more for a lefty? righties have it all wrong in the marvelous age of internet porn. I feel bad for righties who sacrifice and use their weaker wanking hand while browsing. I never realized this problem till a right handed friend joked about how he mouses with his left during such times of seminal emissions. Just gotta get your priorities in check.

Also connected to the actual topic, just highlight, right click > copy then right click > paste. Only one hand needed to do the work and your other hand can remain on your penis. You're welcome.

[–]Davek804 1 point2 points ago

Lol @ trying to complete copy paste with the mouse... all about speed: double click to highlight, ctrl x ctrl v. Only time I right click for this type thing is Chrome's paste and go/search google.

Beyond that: I'm ambidextrous. Any given occasion easily becomes a two way date :P

[–]130n35s 0 points1 point ago

Speed ain't my thing, but the laziness of only lifting a finger (and technically not lifting just releiving pressure) coupled with my constant slow jerk makes me ready for whatever comes (giggity) my way. To each his own it seems.

[–]Davek804 1 point2 points ago

Indeed business pro, indeed.

[–]usk49[S] 0 points1 point ago

Same, im also right handed at guitar hero.

[–]CompleteFucktard 2 points3 points ago

only cool if you can map those to other functions/keys... they are a waste on copy/paste

[–]JeSuisNerd 2 points3 points ago

Meh. My hand is never over there. Also, here in glorious linux, I simply highlight to copy and middle-click to paste. In addition to the standard clipboard.

Don't mind me while I feel superior. :D

[–]Grammar-Hitler -1 points0 points ago

glorious linux

aH, i SEE, A RELIGIOUS FANATIC, WELL WE'LL JUST HAVE TO KILL YOUR ASS WON'T WE?

[–]JeSuisNerd 0 points1 point ago

Elaborate? I don't see what the problem should be.

[–]webbsquad 0 points1 point ago

Some people, myself included, like to highlight and unhighlight while reading articles. It just helps me keep my eyes on the page, but it'd be annoying if it kept copying into the buffer every time I dragged my mouse around.

[–]WarPhalange 0 points1 point ago

What? You can't even tell it happens. How the fuck would you know it copied anything? It's instantaneous.

[–]Zen1 0 points1 point ago

I'd never want to buy a book secondhand from you.

[–]JeSuisNerd 0 points1 point ago

The clipboard for ctrl-c and ctrl-v is kept separate from the highlight buffer, so I don't really mind it, and in fact that is quite useful sometimes.

You're a freak, get fucked.

[–]usk49[S] 0 points1 point ago

I guess doing that would work faster, but im not a big fan of linix. I mean, its a GREAT os but it would be nice if they could make it easier to navigate.

[–]JeSuisNerd 0 points1 point ago

Heh, there are many Linux OS's. If you're interested even the slightest, I'd recommend looking at Ubuntu or Linux Mint. They both provide an interface and a general way of going about things that is easy to switch to from Windows or Mac OS.

[–]usk49[S] -1 points0 points ago

Ive used ubuntu for a couple months, enjoyed it, but still the hassle it takes to even install flash/java and other software is jist too much. Also it didnt like my monitor, at all.

[–]not_fred 0 points1 point ago

What has your monitor got to do with using Linux?

[–]usk49[S] -3 points-2 points ago

I was using an old computer at the time, the resolution wasnt supported by any of the linux drivers.

[–]TheGreatPastaWars 0 points1 point ago

This was surprisingly sensual.

[–]Trust_The_Math 1 point2 points ago

The two side buttons on my mouse do that. Love it.

[–]ArbitraryIndigo 0 points1 point ago

I'd rather someone make the selection buffer/middle-click to paste from X work in Windows because I'm forced to use Windows at work.

[–]cutfloss 0 points1 point ago

If it was invented it'd be abused like ctrl c and ctrl v are already. Just take a look at the internet. Everything is a copy of something.

[–]Gephoria 0 points1 point ago

about my luck, i'd copy some huge thing, tab over, and the cat would walk by that switch copying some useless info

making my previous copy invalid

[–]justatypo 0 points1 point ago

Eff that. I'd be more interested in a copy/paste system that can store multiple items, a-la ms office XP. Like, 3 decades and nobody's updated this basic function??

[–]drugrug -5 points-4 points ago

I think its a cool idea. props man.

[–]Zen1 0 points1 point ago

I wish I had Illustrator so I could edit .gifs... But imagine a [FIXED] post where the top is "Repost" and the bottom is "Generate Witty Title".. or I could make the title "Perfect for Reddit"

[–]zang99 -1 points0 points ago

egh i still have to high light , not that impressed but good idea

[–]sanschag -1 points0 points ago

Even better. There are times I miss the old Sun keyboards.
