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.

Lol, I never noticed the ceiling cat before.

[–]fadedseaside 46 points47 points ago

Are these the cats of the 7 foot Redditor?

[–]scottybcoffin 3 points4 points ago

Must be

[–]CatDogMafia 0 points1 point ago

Probably but how well do you think they could handle a pistol...

[–]ulgi 6 points7 points ago

Here's an infrared shot of the pillars. Truly awesome.

Fun fact: The pillars were destroyed by the shockwave of a supernova some 6,000 years ago. This will not be visible to us for another millennium.

[–]asphodelian 5 points6 points ago

Wait, how would we know that if the light hasn't made it to us? Is that based off our knowledge of where the supernova was centered?

[–]cozmonot 1 point2 points ago

we can see the supernova shockwave in the current pictures, but since it takes light 7000 years to travel from there to earth by the time we see their actual destruction they will already have been gone for 7000 years. I hope that made sense.

[–]cozmonot 2 points3 points ago

I should clarify that as we see it now, the shockwave is still en route to the pillars which is how we know they were destroyed 6000 years ago since from out point of view they will hit it in 1000 years.

[–]asphodelian 3 points4 points ago

Right, that makes sense. (Also, that's pretty damn cool.)

[–]Manhair 3 points4 points ago

[–]mccahan 4 points5 points ago

I saw much more along the lines of these guys out of costume...

[–]TheWeirdestThing 1 point2 points ago

That picture is truly awesome.

For anyone interested, here is a wikipedia entry about it.

[–]aazav 1 point2 points ago

That is not cats. ಠ_ಠ

[–]oatwife 6 points7 points ago

Wow, that's really cool. And kind of eerie...

[–]shalafi71 7 points8 points ago

Jimmies are rustled. That freaks me right the fuck out.

[–]CJGibson 4 points5 points ago

This is what all cats look like on Kashyyyk.

[–]WesternUnion 1 point2 points ago

My first thought was the children in the background photo woke as cats one day. I gotta lay off the Kafka stories...

[–]Elbowgreez 1 point2 points ago

No worries; this just means you're starting to get him.

[–]alabasterxdeity 1 point2 points ago

0.0 ...YES.

[–]WhatHappenedToMusic 3 points4 points ago

I can't be the only one who thinks this is really creepy looking.

[–]IllGiveYouAnUpvote 1 point2 points ago

Still very unsettling.

[–]jostler57 30 points31 points ago

So... if you saw this on Reddit, why are you reposting to Reddit?

[–]brokenviolins[S] 12 points13 points ago

For those who hadn't the joy of seeing it the first time 'round.

[–]wombshifter 6 points7 points ago

Fuck that is majestic.

[–]pinkeyeofthetiger 2 points3 points ago

You spelled "terrifying" wrong.

[–]MindlessDream 7 points8 points ago

So why did you post it again?

[–]brokenviolins[S] 9 points10 points ago

[–]ratajewie 7 points8 points ago

I feel like it's supposed to be Ash K Hunter, but I can't help reading it as Ash Cunter.

Fucking cat people are trying to take over the bed. WTF!

I would love to own a Maine Coon.

[–]Elbowgreez 0 points1 point ago

As the proud owner (is "steward" a better word for what we are re: cats?) of a Maine Coon I would like to say, yes. Yes you would.

[–]ktlynn85 0 points1 point ago

I LOVE this photo. I love the video of the one cat standing too. It just blows my mind!!!

Its the new cat meme. Oh long johnson. and cat breading is so 2000 and late

[–]hoopstick 0 points1 point ago

I feel like this should take place on top of a snow-peaked mountain, with the camera circling above as the sun sets in the background. Preferably at the end of the middle movie in a trilogy. I like to call it the "We'll never make it, Mr. Frodo" shot ... CREDITS.

David Barr Kirtley's short story "Cats in Victory" comes to mind.

This reminds me of when the pigs stand up in Animal Farm.

If so...

There is something creepy about this picture, zombified anthropomorphic cats.. creepy as fuck.

[–]Digitel 0 points1 point ago

My Maine Coon has done this since he was a kitten. And he mainly does it when he is on the bed.
