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.

TIL volcanoes get really hot! Really? You're just now figuring that out?

[–]larkable 4 points5 points ago

TIL rain is evaporated water from large bodies of water such as lakes, rivers, ponds, and oceans!

[–]Initforthecats 0 points1 point ago

no way really? How long has this been going on?

[–]Initforthecats 0 points1 point ago

TIL cow milk comes from cows!!

I use it as an affirmation that I'm smart in hopes that one day it will be true

[–]beckiface 1 point2 points ago

I swear that if I see "TIL Twinkle Twinkle Little Star is the same as the ABCs" again...I don't know what I will do. But it's on there way too often. And I have known that since kindergarden. Apparently a lot of people didn't know that, since it often gets many upvotes. But I still find it mildly irritating.

[–]Goofyface 1 point2 points ago

erm.......i think it's about time to admit to you guys that i've never known what TIL stands for. I've never been able to figure it out and just resorted to associating it with 'did you know', but....please....be merciful D:

"Today I Learned"

[–]Bradburn777 0 points1 point ago

TIL we now have 2 reaction GIFs from Liar Liar.

[–]snowwalrus 0 points1 point ago

TIL that I can get karma for linking to Alan Turing's Wikipedia page.

Guy in the back right absolutely nailed his fucking role. Props to him.

It's more to do with obvious ones that are pretty much common knowledge

[–]linearcore -3 points-2 points ago

Well obviously the knowledge wasn't common enough now, was it?

[–]Battletooth -4 points-3 points ago

What you find as common knowledge isn't so for everyone else. You had to learn everything at one point. Some people have gone on for longer periods of time without running into references of that knowledge. I think it's common knowledge that Curt Kobain killed himself but I know not everyone knows that or even who he is. I don't think I'm superior and look at then as idiots because I know a little bit more than them.

[–]rhyso90[S] 2 points3 points ago

Today you learned Kurt Cobain is spelled with a 'K'. TIL posts are more like "Wow, I just found this out. Did any of you guys know this?!" I don't think anyone would make a 'TIL Kurt Cobain killed himself' post. Someone made a similar post. See how many people cared.

[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points ago

What does TIL stand for?

[–]MikeMania 3 points4 points ago

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Nice. That makes the downvotes worth it.

[–]hallodoot -3 points-2 points ago

Everyone should already know what I know
