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.

This is a repost http://www.reddit.com/r/pics/search?q=sea+otters+holding+hands seriously a simple search is all it takes.

[–]dynamically_drunk 6 points7 points ago

Its not so much the repost that bothers me (I'd be happy to see otters again) but the fact that this is the most common "otter holding hand" pic in the damn world. At least put some fucking effort into posting a picture, not just the first (20) things on google.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

Thats more or less what got me. Otters are awesome, but I would like to see more than just these two.

[–]kenzieloowho -3 points-2 points ago

God damn it, you ALSO showed us cute otters?! How DARE you?!

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

I'm guessing your being sarcastic. Well OP didnt also show us cute otters, he showed us the same exact picture of cute otters. If OP would have attempted any search to see if this picture had already been posted it would have been very easy to see that it has been multiple times.

[–]noonly 2 points3 points ago

they also juggle rocks

[–]elliopolis 2 points3 points ago

Cute as they are, cross them and they'll crush you like a clam on their tummies.

[–]JurkMurguire 4 points5 points ago

Have you ever asked yourself why the fuck don't otters just sleep on land? I get it, you're cute, but at least put some effort into being practical.

[–]heetic -2 points-1 points ago

Cause aliens.

[–]nem0fazer 4 points5 points ago

Milo and Nyak unless I'm wrong. Sadly both now dead after long lives at Vancouver aquarium. Nyak was saved after the Exxon Valdez oil spill. Her liver was damaged and she was on medication the rest of her life but it was a long one.

I have hundreds of photos of these two. http://imgur.com/9f67K http://imgur.com/5ELZT

[–]notacoolkid 3 points4 points ago

Do you have more pictures?

The Exxon Valdez spill was the first news story that I was aware of the world outside myself and I spent the next couple months carrying around National Geographic and crying because the poor baby otters were sick.

[–]Hippossibly 7 points8 points ago

Might you perhaps mean "the thing I just love about otters is?"

[–]coeddotjpg 1 point2 points ago

They also will wrap kelp around their leg so they don't drift off, and balance rocks on their tummies so they can use it to bludgeon urchin and shellfish (they beat the food against the rock). Clever, but not as nice as they are cute - pretty mean little bastards actually.

[–]skyclown 1 point2 points ago

Yeah and when dolphins fuck its always a threesome, the third one keeps the other 2 together

[–]yacob_uk 2 points3 points ago

Sea otters do that, which are different to your regular run of the mill otters.

Sea otters also have one of the densest furs in the animal kingdom, (depending on your source its either them, or Chinchillas) and sea otters use tools - they pick up small rocks to bash open clams and other shell fish. They float on their backs to do this.

They have also been known to roll themselves up in kelp strands to stop themselves from floating off on the tide whilst sleeping.

This could have just as easily been a comment in one of the other 100 posts of this pic. Just sayin.

[–]InfamousMattie 0 points1 point ago

I just wanna tell a girl:

"Bitch, I'll be your damn otter."

[–]m1l2d3 0 points1 point ago

[–]lavitzreinhart 0 points1 point ago

Thats adorable. I would love to see that in person.

[–]heetic 2 points3 points ago

I read that as " I would love to see that in prison."

[–]elislider[!] 0 points1 point ago

otters are fucking adorable. end of story.

[–]erynthenerd 0 points1 point ago
