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.

Good luck, you're competing with a picture of oatmeal.

[–]Marshall40 67 points68 points ago

not even the good kind!

[–]Oatmealmz 2 points3 points ago

Hey! What's wrong with Oatmeal?

[–]Gurgy 1 point2 points ago

Someone get me the kind with dissolving dinosaur eggs!

[–]murzou 5 points6 points ago

[–]murzou 1 point2 points ago

Go for gold!

[–]moooooserfunk 195 points196 points ago

You forgot to say "...that I found beaten in a dumpster in the rain with one eye and no legs."

[–]thatalbatross 98 points99 points ago

Don't forget to say "this little guy" somewhere in that.

(All joking aside, I am a sucker for those posts.)

[–]Siethron 23 points24 points ago

Well I want you to be a sucker for points to groin this little guy.

Well, I think that's all the immaturity I can muster today.

[–]SanguineHaze 5 points6 points ago

You sure you don't have just a drop more?

As a Geologist, you have no idea how happy I am that a ROCK made the front page.

[–]ImJustJokingCalmDown 101 points102 points ago

Get a real job stoner!

[–]blout 42 points43 points ago

[–]Fhatal 12 points13 points ago

You do not know how happy you made me. As i am looking for a job, this .gif touches me in ways that i cannot imagine.

[–]mickeyjawn 13 points14 points ago

Being a Geologist is a noble field of study. You should be stoned for saying something like that!

[–]awfuljimjam 354 points355 points ago

Shouldn't pictures of pets be in /r/aww?

[–]toxicFork 76 points77 points ago

sadly this is deformed, they don't like dramatic stories in there

[–]Corvuss 46 points47 points ago

Unless it's a dramatic story about saving a three legged kitten from a runaway truck going straight towards a large drop-off into an ocean filled with sharks and large pointy things.

[–]the_hell_is_that 31 points32 points ago

Can you believe that a rock did all that!?

[–]WhiteLinesSniff 9 points10 points ago

How could you not?

[–]VirtualAnarchy 11 points12 points ago

[–]DrMango 1 point2 points ago

Nice try, TNT.

I guess you don't really entertain much, do you?

[–]stevesonaplane 4 points5 points ago

Me too. I instantly felt calmer when I looked at it.

[–]clumsyturtle 1 point2 points ago

I could hear Eddie Murphy's voice when I read that and took me ages to remember why.

[–]Nimanzer 25 points26 points ago

They're minerals, Marie.

[–]AwkwardCough 11 points12 points ago

I kind of see Darth Vader.

[–]shodgdon 2 points3 points ago

Funny... I saw Yoda.

Actually, I'm just going to tag you as Kronos.

[–]Fishermichaels 1 point2 points ago

This comment is gonna sound way more r/atheism than I mean it to, but

I actually thought that portion looked like the picture of Darwin from the £10 note.

[–]kangtea 2 points3 points ago

I like how its waaay too /r/atheism because you mentioned Darwin.

[–]ShallowBasketcase 10 points11 points ago

Darwin created /r/atheism in his image. Praise Him.

[–]kangtea 2 points3 points ago

"Hey, so uhhh, I'm new to reddit, where can I post some stuff supporting equal rights and some other pictures of this Scientist guy talking about lasers?" "Oh, that all goes in r/atheism" "...atheism?"

[–]pseudolobster 51 points52 points ago

The jokes are gold. People not upvoting these must be igneous.

[–]Sibblin 16 points17 points ago

Depends, some of them are a bit schist.

[–]Osiris32 6 points7 points ago

[–]NFLdoWORK 2 points3 points ago

Kinda random but I've got a shirt that says geologists are stoners

[–]mdfox85 11 points12 points ago

that was terrible. You deserve a pyrite in the face.

[–]timbowman1 3 points4 points ago

I don't know, it was a pretty coal joke in my opinion.

[–]Solid_Ghost 1 point2 points ago

Shale we get back to discussing the rock?

[–]Barb0 4 points5 points ago

With all of these puns, you guys should probably take a lode off ore else this thread will die and it will be all your fault.

[–]Shovelmenuggets 1 point2 points ago

Really, bad grammar? Its sedimentary my dear friend.It should be "these jokes..."

[–]iowakerr 8 points9 points ago

A picture of a rock makes it to the frontpage? Dumb rock!

[–]Chirox82 1 point2 points ago

I came here looking for this link, and I was not disappointed. Upvotes for a fellow Brony.

[–]johnnybigoode 2 points3 points ago

That's why I like to roll on the 'new' tab.

[–]fieldstudies[S] 4 points5 points ago

Yeah that's where I went as soon as I posted this.

[–]StigmaLasher 4 points5 points ago

I'm sure the good people at emporia.edu are wondering what the FUCK happened to their server and why.

[–]TheSteelFire 8 points9 points ago

So Reddit doesn't upvote funny, original content, but they upvote a fucking picture of a ROCK? What the fuck is wrong with you people?

[–]Innovationwarp 4 points5 points ago

This is how your rock makes me feel http://i.imgur.com/okIav.jpg

Congrats!!You just unintentionally DDOS'd that website. Here is an orange arrow.

[–]johl7thai 2 points3 points ago

Picture of a rock on an overloaded .edu server. You sir, are an evil genius. Sadly, I had more fun clicking on your post than I had clicking anything else on the front page today.

[–]ZombieMuffinTop 2 points3 points ago

Emporia Kansas. Home of the emporia state hornets... Or rocks

[–]PolarClybourn 2 points3 points ago

Shit, best picture on front page and it won't even load. Typical.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

Your rock's server is down.

This just keeps getting better.

[–]-STEW- 4 points5 points ago

Now the front page rocks!

"Nobody sits like this rock sits. You rock, rock. The rock just sits and is. You show us how to just sit here and that's what we need." - Albert Markovski

[–]hastalapasta666 1 point2 points ago

Beautiful. The gentle gray under and over tones of this lovely rock contrast in an art form, while at the same time highlighting the brownish section in the middle that has an uncanny resemblance to an Easter island head.

I suck at being poetic

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

NO! THIS IS PATRICK!

[–]sierrahatesmath 1 point2 points ago

I like your rock.

[–]possible_troll 1 point2 points ago

[–]freakshoww 1 point2 points ago

You know, I'm not too sure why I expected anything other than a rock when I clicked on that link.

[–]Chernoble 1 point2 points ago

I've seen a lot of clever attempts to make it to the front page in the past, but I find this one to be a little boulder.

[–]durnesque 1 point2 points ago

That is a nice boulder.

[–]LabJacket 1 point2 points ago

Dude amazing rock, quite the fine specimen. 8/10 for your rock sir. Please rate my celery.

[–]Keppie 1 point2 points ago

That is a damn fine rock. It could be used in landscaping ( as pictured ), as an uncomfortably tall step in a natural staircase, or as a really impractical paper weight.

[–]tveit 1 point2 points ago

im stoned

[–]thehosster 1 point2 points ago

looks like darth vader etched into it
