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.

Why is this a thing?!

[–]sir-slonks-a-lot 139 points140 points ago

There are a lot of things that should not be. This is not one of them.

[–]FreeDirt 14 points15 points ago

So what you're saying is that this should continue to be in a subreddit that is.

[–]LuxNocte 37 points38 points ago

I think he's saying they don't think it be like it is but it do.

[–]Zaros104 5 points6 points ago

But has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

[–]Shyamallamadingdong 4 points5 points ago

They don't think it be like it is, but it do

[–]volkovolkov 55 points56 points ago

I think it's because the 200,000,000th 4chan post was a seagull with arms. There was a huge flood of posts trying to be the 200 millionth, and it was just hilarious that not only did it have an image , but this ended up being it.

I could be wrong, but this was the first time I saw this.

[–]zuperxtreme 4 points5 points ago

I think it started off in the somethingawful forums, long long ago in internet-years.

[–]LuxNocte 2 points3 points ago

Know your meme is a surprisingly good historical record on this sort of topic.

Reelapse apppears to have started it in 2007, and Something Awful ran with it.

        This is what I thought the image would depict when seeing the small preview on the front page. Full credit to Diane from Plymouth, CA, USA, the photographer of the original image.

        you have been tagged and you are now being followed. If you are not on your way to making this shirt in three weeks, I will be disappointed and probably move on with my life.

        reminds me of something I made when I was just learning. Just slightly less batshit insane.

        Less batshit insane?

        That's a bird/moth/porcupine/something.

                Put the head on top, then add a layer mask to it.

                Use a soft black brush with the transparency turned down a bit on the layer mask to blend the two layers together. It actually goes really fast once you get a little practice.

                Here are a few examples of genetic engineering that I did awhile back.

                Example 1

                Example 2

                  I read photoshop as philosophy, and couldn't figure out what you were referring to.

                  And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting

                  On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;

                  And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,

                  And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;

                  And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor

                  Shall be lifted - nevermore!

                  Isn't photoshop fun? Even at an amateur level

                  As a fun project to learn more skills, start photoshopping your friends out of their own profile pictures and then re-upload them and re-tag them in it. See if they figure it out

                  Dont stop learning...its pretty good for a beginner...but in a year from now you will look at this and think its horrible.

                  See... this just further proves that intelligent design is right. Has anyone ever seen a horse evolve into a bird? No! Evolution is a communist lie spread by liberal hippies to avoid getting a job and make you pay taxes.

                  I would greatly enjoy studying, interacting with and perhaps eventually taming one of these majestic creatures.

                  Imagine - the thunderous sound of a herd of hirds galloping across the plains, their piercing cries whistling through the air as they went.
