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.

Why on earth would a physics degree be worthless unless you got it from the inside of a Cracker Jack box?

[–]floresS 7 points8 points ago

I saw this pic like 100 times, but its good

[–]HippieG 4 points5 points ago

Maybe the degree has limited value, but an understanding and working knowledge of physics is always valuable. Start drinking with a crazy "idea guy" friend and get something done.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points ago

There's always room for more scientists, but either way, getting drunk is the perfect way to celebrate (or mourn.)

physics major redirects to engineer! source http://xkcd.com/1052/

[–]KerPLAW 2 points3 points ago

I have a question. How do you guys justify getting into all this college debt? I'm currently trudging through my degrees as well, but I don't have any debt. I have a full time job and pay for the classes as I take them. What are you guys doing that is costing so much money? I'm not trying to be a dick so please don't take it like that (that's what she said). I don't understand where all these MONSTROUS debt figures come from...

[–]MilesColtrane 0 points1 point ago

Good question. I'm also curious.

Part of me thinks it's because students just HAVE to attend a particular school, like it's a status symbol or something.

[–]jollyxgreenexgiant 0 points1 point ago

I have a crap-ton of student debts because my parents made enough so I didn't get student aid, yet I was the one paying for school. So I paid for their success, in essence. And I didn't qualify for academic grants.

Even in-state schools ain't cheap anymore. Sometimes, you just have to bite the bullet.

[–]MilesColtrane 0 points1 point ago

Why didn't you attend a community college for the basics? I'm just assuming you did not because you say you have a "crap-ton" of debt.

[–]jollyxgreenexgiant 0 points1 point ago

Depends on where you go. A lot of schools aren't taking as much CC credit as they were five or ten years ago. They're EXTREMELY picky about which classes they'll take. You can take a year or two of comm. college, but what they'll take is a crapshoot.

[–]MilesColtrane 0 points1 point ago

That sucks. Thanks for the perspective.

[–]8emnero8 1 point2 points ago

You must have calculated the moments, and angles, then thought "yes, it is physically possible, I must do it now." There goes your physics.

[–]fillari 1 point2 points ago

called the "waterfall"

[–]xmonster 1 point2 points ago

Old pic is old

[–]adzug 1 point2 points ago

you have a physics degree and wont be able to use it? cmon theres jobs for ppl with a degree like that. teaching or working over seas. hell you can build that bomb the iranians cant seem to get going. think of the possibilities!!!

[–]Adeptmetal 0 points1 point ago

I know that feel.

[–]mongster2 0 points1 point ago

I graduated two years ago with majors in physics and math, and now I'm in a mechanical engineering PhD program studying better solar energy. You're in a great place, you can seriously get involved in nearly any engineering field that interests you.

[–]theDudeRules 0 points1 point ago

the military will hire you. stay still and we will be right back

[–]orcrist747 -1 points0 points ago

To OP, if the title is real you must be an incompetent physicist.

My nice fat salary, expensive car, and two properties are due directly to my physics degree.

[–]larfburger 0 points1 point ago

To be fair I know a lot of people that slogged through their physics degree and got out with like a 2.1ish gpa. They aren't doing so great now that they're done and they have a ton of debt. If you're good at problem solving there are a lot of opportunities. But if all you can do is push symbols around on paper and barely get passing grades you probably should have spent time doing something else.

Great going man...but the cups are so small

[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points ago

More like drinking level: lazy uninformed american.

It's like an art piece.
