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.

Only 10% mapped? I feel like we should work on that. There's probably a lot of cool stuff down there.

[–]omgimonfire 14 points15 points ago

Leave Cthulhu be.

[–]NonenSequitor 1 point2 points ago*

Leave Megatron (Optimus Prime?) be.

FTFY

[–]Ocrasorm -2 points-1 points ago

I have been hearing for years that only 10 percent of it is mapped.

I imagine it is more than that now unless they reached 10 percent and said that it was enough :)

[–]Brianne123 6 points7 points ago

This terrifies me. It's like thinking about how huge the universe is... and then thinking that there's a whole little universe at the bottom of the ocean that we know nothing about too.

So weird...

[–]Plouw 0 points1 point ago

except the universe is billionbillionbillion times bigger

[–]daeus 2 points3 points ago*

Cool. I wondered how much deeper you would have to go to get to the core so I calculated Diameter of the earth 41851444.8 Ft divide by 36000ft = 1162.

So the earth's diameter is 1162x that depth or half that to get to the middle. Thats quite an amazing thought and puts the earths size in to perspectice a little more.

:/ Whoa

[–]SuperBeast4721 3 points4 points ago

Scrolled the the bottem. Zoomed in... What. The. Fuck. Is. That thing!

[–]The_Bobs_of_Mars -1 points0 points ago

The Bloop, of course. Now imagine what made it!

[–]ipointoutyouridiocy 0 points1 point ago

It bothers the hell out of me thinking that experts insist it was an animal but nothing we know was big enough to make that sound.

[–]maconaquah 1 point2 points ago

what are those yellow lights at the bottom supposed to be?

The Thing That Should Not Be

Metallica reference?

Indeedily doodily.

Might as well go the whole way and post this: http://www.xkcd.com/1040/

Space is the Final frontier

Ummm can we finish the rest of them first??

[–]deagle50ae 0 points1 point ago

Sorry, main quest only.

[–]lordlicorice -1 points0 points ago

It's the final frontier in the 23rd century...

[–]stigmate 1 point2 points ago

feet, inches, pounds?

I feel like a foreigner here

That's what she said.

[–]hyas1nth 0 points1 point ago

A spider. It HAD to be a spider at the bottom.

[–]LightLikeaRiver 0 points1 point ago

breath-taking

[–]The__Imp 0 points1 point ago

Correct me if it's wrong, but with various sonar mapping techniques, we don't actually believe there is a deeper point, do we? I mean I understand that we don't have poerfect maps of more than 10% of it, but we have the big stuff down, yea? If there was a trench massive enough to be deeper, we'd have seen it, I assume.

[–]mikeramey1 0 points1 point ago

That's what she said.

[–]MetallicOpeth 0 points1 point ago

amazing

[–]gorbenchop 0 points1 point ago

I knew I was going to get trolled by James Cameron when I scrolled to the bottom.

[–]lordlicorice 0 points1 point ago

The comparison to airline cruising altitude is terrifying. Can you imagine swimming over such a deep spot? The only thing keeping you from falling seven miles to your death being the force of buoyancy?

I kind of want to see the oceans drained just to skydive from sea level...

[–]JayJayJokesterr 0 points1 point ago

or skydive from airline cruising altitude. That'd be one long skydive.

[–]lordlicorice -1 points0 points ago

Well, the flight ceiling of jet and propeller airplanes will probably drop a lot if the seas drain. All of that volume will fill with air, making the atmosphere more shallow and the atmospheric pressure at 30,000 feet too low to support flight.

It's been a good year since this was last posted, so I'll give you an upvote... this time!

[–]Dementedlamb 0 points1 point ago

Battleship. You have been warned.

As deep as your Mom's vagina....I am kidding. It amazes me that so much of the planet is undiscovered or touched....I wonder also if aliens are down there.

[–]fnargendargen 4 points5 points ago

If they live on Earth, then they aren't aliens.

[–]JayJayJokesterr 0 points1 point ago

You mean if they originate from earth.
