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), weight loss photos, posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. Weight loss photos go in /r/loseit, 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.

Whale is not impressed.

[–]eaterofdog 16 points17 points ago

The perfect "are you fucking kidding me" face.

[–]johntarded 4 points5 points ago

I mis-read this as the whale's thoughts: "Whale, I'm not impressed"

[–]toobab 13 points14 points ago

[–]antipositron 1 point2 points ago

man.. is that even a real camera? Looks tiny dude..!!

[–]iliketothrowrocks 0 points1 point ago

"ill give you a billion stanley nickels if you never talk to me again"

[–]verynayce 0 points1 point ago

"Whatever, diver. Just take the picture already."

[–]Ginther009 17 points18 points ago

That whale eye is freaking me out.

[–]theDudeRules 6 points7 points ago

it is in the wrong place

[–]ndaly87 2 points3 points ago

Never seen a whale's eye that clearly....doesn't look right, I liked them better when it looked like they didn't have eyes

[–]eel_eye 28 points29 points ago

[–]adomorn 14 points15 points ago

What the fuck? She's going to let her flipper get away like that? It falls off and she doesn't even try for it.

[–]NoNonsenseHare 11 points12 points ago

That's why you keep a respectful distance and don't pet it like a fucking cat.

[–]jimflaigle 1 point2 points ago

You have to whack it on the nose with a rolled up paper so it knows you are the one in charge.

[–]vikram13 9 points10 points ago

That was insane.

[–]ndaly87 4 points5 points ago

And.....GOTCHA

[–]smifft 25 points26 points ago

Bad eye placement, terrible oral hygiene, terrible complexion: would not bang

[–]Infymus 19 points20 points ago

Mooo... Weeee neeeed. ...tooo fiiind hiiis sooon. Caaaan yoooou giive uuuus direeeeectioooons?

[–]MrFurious0 7 points8 points ago

You can't speak whale. Stop it.

[–]cragelra 18 points19 points ago

props to that guy, i would never go near that thing.

[–]FO_sachi 7 points8 points ago

That is a fucking SPERM whale!

Hell no! Although that is very cool.

[–]RedditLG 7 points8 points ago

"I've got scars on my face that are bigger than you!" -- Whale

[–]IWasGregInTokyo 0 points1 point ago

Curly - "I crap bigger than you"

In this case it would be true.

[–]Shitty_Watercolour 47 points48 points ago

[–]FO_sachi 5 points6 points ago

That looks really cool...but where is his head?

[–]Ragnrok 16 points17 points ago

I'll give you a hint:

If you asked the question "why does the whale look happy now?", one answer would answer both your questions.

[–]FO_sachi 0 points1 point ago

0__0

[–]MonotonousMan 5 points6 points ago

The whale seems to have gotten much happier during it's transition into shitty watercolor.

[–]vaelon 16 points17 points ago

does anybody else think this would be terrifying? I mean he could swallow that guy whole and not even think about it

[–]killmewithfire 9 points10 points ago

Wales scare the shit out of me... Bitches are huge

[–]Wargall 4 points5 points ago

I went there and a lot of the women were very pretty!

[–]AEqualsNotA 2 points3 points ago

Don't you mean the Welsh?

[–]pay4abortion 0 points1 point ago

absolutely agreed. i am so terrified of them!

[–]fishesofd00m 6 points7 points ago

whale, whale, whale, what do we have here

[–]JC2535 4 points5 points ago

"Thanks for all the plastic, Asshole." -- Whale

[–]omnilynx 7 points8 points ago

That seems dangerous. That is a sperm whale. It eats large animals.

[–]SoftBoiled 2 points3 points ago

I'm sorry, but that is goddamn terrifying

[–]Mr_Sceintist 1 point2 points ago

hi TOOTHED whale

[–]hcsLabs 1 point2 points ago

Amazingly , the only thought that went through the petunia's head was, "oh no. Not again."

[–]chslax31 1 point2 points ago

Whale at a [10]

[–]jpdehart 4 points5 points ago

NOPE

[–]IBEATUPKIDS 1 point2 points ago

$20 (that's like 147 Euros for you foreigners) says that this whale either becomes the "Skeptical Whale" meme or the "[10] Whale" meme within a week.

[–]OttoTheDude 2 points3 points ago

You almost got the conversion rate right.

[–]thespag 1 point2 points ago

the dollar hasn't been stronger than the euro for at least ten years.

[–]thatwasntveryraven 1 point2 points ago

He's from the post-Greece future.

[–]PurpleZoombini 0 points1 point ago

Um slight bit off, $20US is 15 euro or £12. I would also make the same bet though, everything is trying to be a meme these days.

[–]SlackJawedY0kel 1 point2 points ago

That's incredible! Almost looks fake because of HD!

[–]amoludare 0 points1 point ago

"Wat?" -Whale

[–]Lifeson_355 0 points1 point ago

Holy shit! That guy must not have heard about the whaleship Essex.

[–]perfect777 0 points1 point ago

I bet those scars could tell a lot of awesome stories...

[–]omginorite 0 points1 point ago

The colossal squid, bits and pieces of which have been found inside sperm whale carcasses, has hooks on its suckers. Hooks. On. Its. Suckers. Sleep tight.

[–]B33mo 0 points1 point ago

high whale.

[–]DusLeJ 0 points1 point ago

High Whale** ftfy

[–]Bikenutt 0 points1 point ago

Who is observing who?

[–]sdvneuro 1 point2 points ago

the whale can't see the guy from that angle.

[–]FordSVT1 0 points1 point ago

He can "see" him just fine, just not with his eyes. You're looking at an animal that hunts thousand pound squids in the complete dark.

[–]sdvneuro 0 points1 point ago

sure, if you want to use "see" to mean something other that perceive with the eyes.

[–]niNroM 0 points1 point ago

Fish*

[–]kaborkow 0 points1 point ago

Are those Jorts he is swimming in?

[–]Sklar_Hast 0 points1 point ago

Sometimes I wish that all whales were extremely violent.

[–]Xysten 0 points1 point ago

I wonder what "Hmm, I wonder what it tastes like." sounds like inside a whales head.

[–]santanabanana 0 points1 point ago

omg. this scared the shit outta me.

[–]hickgorilla 0 points1 point ago

You should probably clean that up before you get a rash.

[–]adomorn 0 points1 point ago

DAE think that whale's look is somewhat menacing?

[–]benchley 0 points1 point ago

Disapproving, certainly.

[–]harraxen 0 points1 point ago

[–]youcantnotdownvote 0 points1 point ago

Whale hello there

[–]ModernDayCasanova 0 points1 point ago

I like pictures of people taking pictures.

[–]lurkyshmirky 0 points1 point ago

I would just shit myself, curl up in a ball, and wait to die.

[–]Waltzinblack 0 points1 point ago

That's one big fish.

[–]pie_slinger 0 points1 point ago

I woud love to see the photo from the other camera...

[–]setphaserstobaked 0 points1 point ago

That whale's high as the dickens.

[–]SirAuron 0 points1 point ago

Dose eyes.

[–]zildjian3 0 points1 point ago

[–]Mxblinkday 0 points1 point ago

Whale is not amused.

[–]frenchvanilla626 0 points1 point ago

Not sure if diver or Japanese

also: not sure if camera or harpoon

[–]mr_mojo773 0 points1 point ago

Can't sperm whales make noises loud enough to stun a giant squid?

[–]dcroni 0 points1 point ago

This is going on the bucket list!

[–]MarsRover8 0 points1 point ago

I really see the mammal in this photo! it's a great shot!

[–]whaIe 0 points1 point ago

Hello!

[–]GreenTwin 0 points1 point ago

Omg so f*cking hawt. Send this shit to whalebait!

[–]physik3r 0 points1 point ago

While I love the idea of this happening to me, I think it would be terrifying

[–]MischievousPickle 0 points1 point ago

"you think this is a motherfucking game?"

[–]cfr33zy 0 points1 point ago

"I am whale and I am not amused" -whale

[–]K931SAR 0 points1 point ago

Aww, don't you just want to pinch Whale's little rosy cheeks?!?

[–]CallmeWHALE 0 points1 point ago

Hi camera man!

[–]Joshman1231 0 points1 point ago

[–]legionsit 0 points1 point ago

Poker face whale

[–]hurrikane_arx 0 points1 point ago

[–]_vyang 0 points1 point ago

duckface?

[–]unoriginalsin 0 points1 point ago

This picture just made me think, "Why do whales even have eyes? They're so far apart and so small, how can they possibly be useful?"

[0], for the ents.

[–]RubeeGloom 0 points1 point ago

high whale*

[–]hehasbalrogsocks 0 points1 point ago

it scares me. I'm scared of it. I look for those in pools.

[–]johnw1988 0 points1 point ago

This could be a meme.

[–]thepony88 0 points1 point ago

why does this look photoshopped?

[–]WoollyManmoth -1 points0 points ago

You are not krill.

[–]jtravinski 5 points6 points ago

Sperm whales don't eat krill, they eat squid. Source

[–]Sojoez 5 points6 points ago

And sharks.. and sealions... and penguins.. and other whales..

[–]DonkeyPee -1 points0 points ago
