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.

The ultimate bike lock

[–]plewes37 10 points11 points ago

How did that even happen!?

[–]Korbit 20 points21 points ago

This is swarming. The colony of bees grew too large and some left to make a new home. They're resting while scouts look around.

[–]pixelrage 3 points4 points ago

I thought this happens whenever a queen bee decides where to land?

[–]Korbit 8 points9 points ago

Yes, the queen is in the middle of that ball.

[–]Doctor0Doctors 3 points4 points ago

Bees are awesome.

[–]sillybear25 1 point2 points ago

To add to this: Contrary to popular belief, bees are actually rather docile when swarming. They'll still attack if threatened, but they will not aggressively defend their position the way they might defend a hive.

[–]publiclibraries 6 points7 points ago

It's the bees' bike now. Let them have it.

[–]StevieBoySwag 4 points5 points ago

NO THE BEES AHHHHH MY BIKE CHAIN AHHHGRUGUHGHUGHUHUGHUHGRUGURUGURURURU

[–]Two_Bears_Hi-Five 1 point2 points ago

[–]wolf550e 4 points5 points ago

On an episode of Victorian Farm, they showed a low-tech way of transferring naturally swarming bees to a constructed beehive from which you can later get honey. A professional beekeeper will probably do it for you for a fee.

[–]brningpyre 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, just grab one off the street near your bike.

[–]BrainInAJar 0 points1 point ago

A professional beekeeper will probably do it for you for a fee.

or for free if you don't want a bunch of bees. Because hey, free bees.

[–]ladybcancer 2 points3 points ago

EW EW EW. EWWWWWW. I hate swarms.

[–]taozero 1 point2 points ago

You could coast... carefully.

[–]TheRatherOddOne 1 point2 points ago

NOPE

[–]Patchy_Burrito 1 point2 points ago

Best anti-theft device...ever.

[–]Varyter 2 points3 points ago

Something like that doesn't happen in ten minutes...

[–]Varyter 28 points29 points ago

I take that back then. Yeah! Free bees for everyone!

[–]Woolio 1 point2 points ago

You get a bee, and you get a bee, and you get a bee, everybody gets a bee!

That is the funniest gif I've seen in a long time.

[–]WimzicalStranger 1 point2 points ago

NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE

[–]heavyhebrew 0 points1 point ago

I see your lock breaking clips and I raise you yellowjacket venom.

[–]AsskickMcGee 0 points1 point ago

I think I should take my bike into the shop. The chain skips, it shifts sort of oddly, and causes me searing physical pain.

[–]Swaaat 0 points1 point ago

Ahhhh! Tosses live hand grenade towards it DIE!

[–]rindindin 0 points1 point ago

Wow. Swarming on your bike is going to make your life a living hell. Good luck man.

[–]fyrefly 0 points1 point ago

i want those bees. where is this?

[–]marvelous_molester 0 points1 point ago

you'll walk with a limp!

[–]scooterjunky 0 points1 point ago

Bees have low resistance to fire.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

Fuck you bees are awesome.

[–]scooterjunky 0 points1 point ago

I never said they were otherwise, just that they have a low resistance to fire. As do all living things.

[–]rapture_survivor 0 points1 point ago

I would love to see what happened if you poured a saturate solution of NaOH on that..

[–]SOADA 0 points1 point ago

Just saying, some one is going to comment a bit later " NO DON'T HOSE THEM BLAH BLAH BLAH, THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO WILL GLADLY COME AND TAKE THE BEES TO A NICE SAFE COLONY"

Just saying.

[–]steno_light 0 points1 point ago

I hope your friends don't also have bikes. Or else you'll lag beehind.

[–]Trevo4311 0 points1 point ago

You could probably stick your hand in that and not get stung once. I saw a video of a guy moving a bee colony like that with nothing more than his bare hands, a box, and a piece of paper. Here is said video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0klsNsP1-jY&feature=related

[–]wikkedwhite 0 points1 point ago

Id pay for sombody to shoot that with a super soaker.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

what happens when the queen of a colony decides to land on your kickstand

[–]gthing 0 points1 point ago

Clever anti-theft system.

[–]Bartelbythescrivener 0 points1 point ago

Transportation fit for a Queen.

Don't grease your bike chain with corn syrup, just a heads up.

[–]Guyot11 -1 points0 points ago

honey, grab the shotgun, some raid, and have 911 on speed dial. I'm going in.

[–]Kasicard84 -1 points0 points ago

[–]Kasicard84 2 points3 points ago

Ignore the grammatical error...

[–]Deathblow92 2 points3 points ago

You're a better man than I

[–]TheW0rld1sMyCanvas -1 points0 points ago

I don't understand how people can just leave their bike out in the open for THAT LONG!

[–]5HAK 1 point2 points ago

[–]Psyqwix -4 points-3 points ago

As someone who has a massive phobia of wasps/bees, I can honestly say there are not enough NOPES in the world to cover this shit. Get the petrol and put this bike out of it's misery :*(

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

How can you have a phobia of bees? Bees are cool as fuck.
