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.

[–]FriesWithThat 5 points6 points ago

Known "colloquially as toe-biters." How quaint.

[–]pope_fundy 3 points4 points ago

They rather live up to the name, in fact.

I was also highly concerned with the "gator tick" moniker

[–]spleendor 4 points5 points ago

Giant water bugs are a popular food in Thailand.

D:

[–]Nomeru 3 points4 points ago

Ah thank you, I was trying to figure it out. I had only really identified so far that it must be a type of insect that lacks antenna. (It has 6 legs so must be in hexapoda, and wasn't in the other class)

Cute little thing. I hope never to meet one.

[–]SquishyWizard 1 point2 points ago

In various parts of southeast Asia, the species Lethocerus indicus is used as food, or as a source of extracts.

Alright, who the fuck eats this shit?

[–]dermusikman 2 points3 points ago

[–]KillItWithViolence 2 points3 points ago

[–]Sarahbearah13 0 points1 point ago

The worst part of that is if they had used fire, they wouldn't have dozens more growing in their house right now.

[–]bobob473 2 points3 points ago

So I'm the only one that thinks its kind of cute?

[–]pope_fundy 3 points4 points ago

You can go ahead and think that until it bites the fuck out of your toe.

Nuke the site from Orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

[–]graceless95 0 points1 point ago

[–]nataliek86 0 points1 point ago

WHY DOES IT HAVE A CAT-LIKE FACE!? It is mocking us, Redditors!

[–]Grammar-Hitler 0 points1 point ago

"Their bite is considered one of the most painful that can be inflicted by any insect"

Good God.

[–]greymatter75 0 points1 point ago

Seriously, WTF is that and where do they live.

[–]pope_fundy 1 point2 points ago

Giant water bug. They live pretty much anywhere there is fresh water. Fun fact: they can fly.

[–]greymatter75 5 points6 points ago

Dude, that's no good, there's water here.

Cross-posted to /r/atheism as proof God does not exist.

[–]lovelyallen -3 points-2 points ago

Can we please stop with all this "nope" shit. The whole "kill it with fire" trend is played. Find a new saying to beat into the ground.

[–]allisayisnope -3 points-2 points ago

Nope.
