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.

But there's no guarantee that the trash you put in the trash can won't end up in the ocean. Those rings should be cut up before being thrown.

[–]CheeAgo 15 points16 points ago

Those rings should be cut up before being thrown recycled

[–]kubina1 29 points30 points ago

Those rings should be cut up before being thrown recycled FTFY

[–]HumpingDog 2 points3 points ago

can they be recycled? I always wonder about thin plastics.

[–]CheeAgo 0 points1 point ago

[–]WeaponexT 1 point2 points ago

Learned the cut up thing from a TMNT service anouncement when I was a kid. Took it really seriously for a 5 year old.

[–]khrak 10 points11 points ago*

But there's no guarantee that the trash you put in the trash can won't end up in the ocean.

Quoted for truth.

I tossed one in the trash the other day and found it crawling across the floor an hour later. Little green bastards are resilient, gotta cut off a few pieces to keep 'em from climbing back out.

[–]doot_doot 1 point2 points ago

you're the best

[–]justalurker89 4 points5 points ago

My mom saw a documentary about wildlife getting caught in these, she just stopped buying anything that uses them.

[–]isaaclw 2 points3 points ago

We waste so much plastic...

[–]Eliwarfare 21 points22 points ago

How do you know it wasn't a 6-pack of Turtles?

[–]reconcknuctly 2 points3 points ago

i like a michelangelo plz

[–]sleepingdeep 12 points13 points ago

this is why we have scissors

[–]bakinbacon6 4 points5 points ago

When I was living with my mom and her boyfriend I would go through the trash just so I could cut these up. Gross but had to done.

[–]TheHuskerdoo 3 points4 points ago

It's too big of a price to pay for that hourglass figure.

[–]CheeAgo 9 points10 points ago

Turtle Girdle.

[–]MrRabbit 6 points7 points ago

I like my turtles like I like my women...

Wait, no I don't. That pic just makes me sad.

[–]knightcrawler 2 points3 points ago

This looks bad, and I feel bad.

[–]5c0779373 4 points5 points ago

The most frightening part is how pissed off people will get when you point out the trash can 4 feet from where they just dropped their half a big mac and mostly full soda.

[–]sfled 1 point2 points ago

It's fear. They're afraid to bend their fat bodies over. Lardy arms and legs are weak and useless, so they flop around on the ground, bleating.

[–]DoubleAcesHigh 0 points1 point ago

Which is why those floaty chair things on WALL-E are inevitable and are most likely currently being researched.

[–]5c0779373 0 points1 point ago

Oh, see I figured that; while they're fully capable of moving said fat fucking ass to a trash can, they're not going to because it would require even the slightest bit of effort. That and the infuriating "But that's why there's garbage men".

No, motherfucker, not to clean up your personal slime trail.

[–]DoubleAcesHigh 0 points1 point ago

There are times when I wish things like punching people in the throat were legal. First offense, punch in the throat. Second, 2x4 upside the head. Third offense, sleeping in a pig sty for 3 months with no access to clean water, food or electricity.

[–]5c0779373 0 points1 point ago

3 months? Some people live in pig sties their entire lives without access to clean water, or (nutritious) food. But they need their electricity for certain.

[–]DoubleAcesHigh 1 point2 points ago

True, true. Though imagining them having to sleep in the squishyness that is pig shit, mud, and rotten food makes me smile on the inside. I suppose offering them an iPad or other fanciful device if they make the 3 months would be fun. And by that, I mean a legit looking box filled with more pig shit.

[–]5c0779373 0 points1 point ago

[–]DoubleAcesHigh 1 point2 points ago

grins My mind is a twisted place. My best friend's ex is a womanizing guido-douche. He's got a 9 inch pony tail that he adores. My desire is to scalp him. Then flog him with his own pony tail, after I've tied razors and little lead weights in it.

[–]TerranRepublic 1 point2 points ago

No OP, this is why you cut the rings before disposing of them. Most "litter" is just trash that's been blown away.

[–]clientnotfound 1 point2 points ago

Dang. Down to my last turtle. Have to remember to pick up another pack tomorrow.

[–]rawrc 3 points4 points ago

Yeah, come on people, throw away all your ugly deformed animals so the rest of us don't have to.

[–]1c4us 2 points3 points ago

is it possible to turn that turtle into a violin?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

So that dolphins can have all the fun?

[–]PastaOfMuppets 0 points1 point ago

You know what feels weirder than seeing pictures like this?

Upvoting pictures like this while your face is switched to WTF mode.

[–]shpong1ed 0 points1 point ago

I really feel bad after seeing this. Godfuckingdamnit. :|

[–]deadweather 0 points1 point ago

my dog eats turtles. what should I do with him?

[–]mspinkyy 0 points1 point ago

Lil Lisa Slurry!

[–]tacoyum6 -3 points-2 points ago

Shopped, I can tell from the pixels.

[–]JDG_Jr 1 point2 points ago

I thought so too, I even thought I noticed chunks of cloned sand. But, I saw this video, so it looks like its possible.

[–]drinkonlyscotch -1 points0 points ago

I'm curious how you can tell given that the image is so strongly compressed there's virtually no integrity at all left in the image.

[–]Couchmen -3 points-2 points ago

Older than the internet...

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points ago

So. Fucking. Sad.

[–]kubina1 -5 points-4 points ago

to waste a perfectly good turtle?

[–]leelons1 -2 points-1 points ago

I want to turn that into a viloin.

[–]fender72692 -2 points-1 points ago

this is why douchebags have photoshop
