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.

I bet this thing does stuff.

[–]bautron 22 points23 points ago

That's the final boss. Takes like 8 nukes to put down.

[–]fuckyeahspatula 6 points7 points ago

Only after you shoot down all the respawning mig escorts

[–]reil15 6 points7 points ago

That's just plane ridiculous

[–]kcell 7 points8 points ago

Oh boy, a pun thread! That's the Spirit.

[–]imbcmdth 4 points5 points ago

Finally, a chance to AWACS poetically about planes.

[–]ampersand38 -3 points-2 points ago

Just because I'm a Nighthawk doesn't mean I need to wake up to this.

[–]tinlo -2 points-1 points ago

Did someone say plane?

[–]cs435 0 points1 point ago

[–]xpkranger 1 point2 points ago

This ain't your Grandfather's Buick Air Force, but it might be his airplane...

[–]amcauto 0 points1 point ago

Just read that earlier today. Pretty cool.

[–]xpkranger 3 points4 points ago

From the Internet: A military pilot called for a priority landing because his single-engine jet fighter was running "a bit peaked." Air Traffic Control told the fighter pilot that he was number two, behind a B-52 that had one engine shut down. "Ah," the fighter pilot remarked, "The dreaded seven-engine approach."

I was thinking of this

[–]Dingissimus 0 points1 point ago

as was I, my power metal comrade.

[–]gstatty 2 points3 points ago

"I drive a Dodge Stratofortress!"

[–]hivemonkey 0 points1 point ago

"This chicken is delicious"

"I got the recipe from Lipton Cup-o-Soup"

[–]xampl9 2 points3 points ago

Was at an air museum at Travis AFB one time. They had a G model on display.

Young boy and his father come up as I'm checking out the bomb bay. "Dad, what kind of plane is this?"

"I think it's a cargo plane, son."

Right. Where the cargo comes out the bottom.

[–]badjettasex 3 points4 points ago

World's Best Delivery Truck for 60 years!

[–]avrus 1 point2 points ago

You big beautiful bitch.

[–]aquanaut 1 point2 points ago

Great pic. What are those lines on the horizontal stabilizer?

[–]MisterNetHead 1 point2 points ago

Transformer.

No but really, I'd like to know what they are too.

[–]mindstormy 4 points5 points ago

I don't see any hats. So this can not be involved with any type of fortress I am aware of.

[–]Forlarren 2 points3 points ago

Here you go, and here.

[–]Digitalgeezer 1 point2 points ago

Insert 'scumbag Statofortress' meme here.

[–]original_locutus 0 points1 point ago

Still in the "BIG-GLOWING-SMOKING-HOLE" business...

Just one of these can ruin your whole day!

[–]jvargaszabo 0 points1 point ago

The modern bowser's airship.

[–]Code_wizard 0 points1 point ago

My father flew the 5-17 fortress in WWII. He's the reason these planes always amaze me.

[–]apathybot 0 points1 point ago

B-17? An awesome aircraft but about 3 versions behind the B-52 in its heyday. Old school bombers are always awesome. I miss the days of the USAF having a new long-range bomber every 5 years. General Lemay and S.A.C. were the height of the US paranoia of the USSR and ingenuity/willingness to innovate in acft design.

[–]Code_wizard 0 points1 point ago

Oh I understand. Still makes me proud to see the legacy. Thank you for the extra info, didn't know that.

[–]sarcaster632 0 points1 point ago

Is this the kind of plane that did the fly-over at the Minnesota Twin's home season opener?

[–]jsav81 0 points1 point ago

Did Super Man take this picture?

I call it the stratopenis

[–]denizenofmediocrity 0 points1 point ago

Happy 60th, BUFF!

[–]wingbatwu 0 points1 point ago

the lines on the tail are not symmetrical (?)

[–]stangria 0 points1 point ago

strato-whovious?

[–]amcauto 0 points1 point ago

One thing I love about living close to the Minot AFB is hearing these fly overhead with the windows rolled down. Nothing quite like the whistle they make.

[–]xampl9 0 points1 point ago

I can't tell - is it one of the B-52's based at Burpelson Air Force Base?

[–]DENelson83 0 points1 point ago

Something tells me r/spacedicks would love this.

[–]Happycamper101 0 points1 point ago

Alternatively known as the "flatten-fortress", judging by its payload capacity.

[–]So_Turned_On 0 points1 point ago

I need a 3920x1200 res pic of this ...anyone?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Stratofortress. Or as it's more commonly known: badass of the skies.

[–]IbanezHand -1 points0 points ago

Oh look, they're finally delivering your moms dildo

[–]thexfiles81 -3 points-2 points ago

I feel obliged to say this..ahem...'MERICA!!!!!

[–]BionicJuice -2 points-1 points ago

Scrotum Engines.

[–]badjettasex 0 points1 point ago

With 8 Iron Balls

[–]epicitous1 0 points1 point ago

I'm sorry im the first to tell you that you have a horribly disfigured scrotum.

[–]hybridpunk -1 points0 points ago

Did anyone else read it as "Strato For Trees" and then have a look like this http://thecoexistcafe.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Will-WTF-face.png on their face?

[–]UrinalCakes[S] 8 points9 points ago

I do not understand how it's a "Startofortress".

[–]Slayer1cell -2 points-1 points ago

It flies in the stratosphere, and to follow the B-17 Flying Fortress, and the B-29 Super Fortress.
