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.

I got this tape when I was 13. So many memories!

Difficulty (for younger redditors): You can't record on the tape unless you put tape (the sticky kind) over the notches in the top of the cassette. Recordable blanks had pegs in there, non recordable didn't... this was old school read/write protection.

[–]flowwolfx 52 points53 points ago

Oh the old school :) I wish things were more like then sometimes. My brother and I had just bought 100's of blank floppies just to realize they weren't the double sided kind.
Production quality required that both sides of the floppy disk were coated with magnetic to prevent them from buckling or warping. How then do they still mark up double sided floppies if all the single sided floppies had two sides as well? Well they just require double sided to have an extra notch on a corner of them so the drive could fit a pin through the hole and then enable the write heads for both sides.

So we took our stack of single sided floppies that we paid less for, to our Dad's drill press and popped a hole through the corners of all of them. Worked mint. I fucking miss this kind of breaking write protection.

[–]inibrius 24 points25 points ago

5.25" floppies had the same thing...but you could do the notch with a holepunch. And then there was the write protection....'special reflective tape'. Electrical tape did the same thing.

[–]dilithium 9 points10 points ago

i had a special square hole punch that was made just for that purpose. it even spaced the hole exactly. nobody I know who grew up in the US had ever heard of that tho. got mine in singapore, iirc, along with my Apple ][ clone.

[–]Zomgondo 8 points9 points ago

I had one of those. I live in the US.

[–]eagle12549 2 points3 points ago

Me too. I live in NY.

[–]dilithium 2 points3 points ago

well. there ya go.

[–]craisins409 4 points5 points ago

Me and my C-128 had that same device.

GO 64

are you sure?

[–]weedbearsandpie 1 point2 points ago

64 was the best. I was more of a spectrum person though. even though it felt like the 64 had better graphics (what graphics there were those days) I think I just way preferred the spectrum keyboard to the c64.

[–]dilithium 1 point2 points ago

yes, but maybe my friends were lame.

[–]my_novelty 1 point2 points ago

[–]stolid_agnostic 2 points3 points ago

[–]dilithium 1 point2 points ago

[–]Kale 2 points3 points ago

We used a drill or scissors. I didn't know a special punch existed, although it makes sense.

[–]giverous 6 points7 points ago

Really REALLY wish i'd known that 15 years ago :(

[–]Deathwish_Drang 5 points6 points ago

yea i remember using a hole punch, also i remember the 81/2" floppies too

[–]Shamus_McTinkerdick 2 points3 points ago

8 1/2" floppies!! when men where men!!

[–]dude187 1 point2 points ago

I wish things were more like then sometimes.

Sometimes I feel myself thinking the same. Then I remember that I'd have to deal with cassette tapes and floppy disks again though, and I quickly change my mind.

[–]Likestechlongtime 1 point2 points ago

My dad was an old-school pirate. He once told me how to record VHS tapes bypassing the macrovision copy protection.

I once forgot how to get around it.

[–]repler 1 point2 points ago

SD cards still have the exact same thing, only it's a slideable switch.

[–]ab3ju 1 point2 points ago

it's not even a switch, it just presses a contact in the reader. Short out said contact in your reader and even cards with the slider pulled off are writable.

[–]shoziku 1 point2 points ago

that doesn't sound like exact same.

[–]tiyx 9 points10 points ago

I use to take a small bit of paper and chew on it a bit to make a spit wad then put it in the notches. Worked every time.

[–]badxreligion 1 point2 points ago

Same with VHS

[–]dirt-nap 159 points160 points ago

Excellent tape. I recorded Bad Brains on the other side.

[–]BlackZeppelin 20 points21 points ago

I probably recorded and erased and recorded about half a dozen different things on that blank side of my copy. Great EP, BTW. Maybe the best thing they did.

EDIT: I watched it and drank some rum. I was actually really surprised how much I enjoyed it, I haven't seen it in a while. Thanks MogusMaximus! I might watch the other two this week over spring break.

[–]ramen_feet 4 points5 points ago

Now I'm going to watch that movie tonight too, and it is you skaterape that inspired me.

[–]TrillPhil 12 points13 points ago

Im going to watch the movie hackers. Fuck you guys.

[–]Crimfresh 1 point2 points ago

[–]NotVerySmarts 5 points6 points ago

Skaterape? Is that an ape skater; or a raper of those that skate; or one that rapes while on skates? So ambiguous.

I know I'm not the only one, but I plan on getting the tape-in-cross-bones tattooed on my inner arm.

[–]four_chambers 12 points13 points ago

I really want to get this, but I'm worried that it's a cliche and I'll come to regret it.

[–]tsanbuen 16 points17 points ago

I mean, it probably is. But it's punk as fuck.

Either way, cassette tapes are going to be a part of my dead formats half-sleeve. So far I have 35mm film.

[–]paynemi 12 points13 points ago

Without wanting to hate on your idea, the best part about this tattoo will be the bittersweet irony when tattoo's themselves go out of fashion again. It'll be double-dead.

[–]Hefalumpkin 12 points13 points ago

Tattoos shouldn't be used as a fashion statement.

[–]thecritic06 8 points9 points ago

That depends on what you mean by fashion. If you mean 'things that are in vogue at the moment' then you're right. If you mean as 'an expression of personal style', well, I disagree.

[–]tsanbuen 1 point2 points ago

It's okay, since everything I love dies.

[–]thecritic06 2 points3 points ago

I have a VHS tape on my arm. We should form some kind of Dead Formats Super League.

[–]javadragon 13 points14 points ago

[–]nogswarth 13 points14 points ago

The aforementioned Fresh Fruit... is their classic LP but favourite is easily Plastic Surgery Disasters. An absolute masterpiece in raw cynicism and evil pranged-out surf riffs. Definitely my favourite punk album of all time.

Guys this is the real threat here, not torrents

[–]Abe_Vigoda 5 points6 points ago

Actually iTunes is, and the corporations themselves that helped distribute torrent software on their own networks.

And the recording and movie industries who don't actually lose profits cause they no longer have to manufacture physical copies.

The real losers are the consumers and the record stores.
