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.

That is a moving picture

[–]stlunatic15 12 points13 points ago

Hate to be the one to call out 'repost', but I love this picture. Very powerful.

A few more photos

[–]Looks_Good_In_Hats 1 point2 points ago

That last photo. Damn.

[–]BrinaRina 11 points12 points ago

This is beautiful. Some of my faith in humanity has been restored.

[–]Peaker 1 point2 points ago

Easy comes, easy goes...

[–]bonny_von_scotty 19 points20 points ago

Reddit seems to love this because he's Buddhist. But how many upvotes would it get if he were Christian? Just saying.

[–]jacks89 0 points1 point ago

Tell me how many Buddhist monks have raped little boys in the past 20 years.

[–]unicornbeans 5 points6 points ago

ok reddit..its a beautiful picture...lets not turn this into a religion hating thing...lets just all agree that it was one man mourning the death of another man, and it was a nice and beautiful gesture. don't hate, appreciate.

[–]bonny_von_scotty 0 points1 point ago

Yes, I agree. Didn't mean to start a Reddit argument. Sorry, everyone.

You, sir, need to look up what buddhism is.

[–]reallyatwonk -1 points0 points ago

according to wiki, first line- >Buddhism is a religion and philosophy indigenous to the Indian subcontinent and encompasses a variety of traditions, beliefs, and practices largely based on teachings attributed to Siddhartha Gautama, who is commonly known as the Buddha (meaning "the awakened one" in Sanskrit and Pāli) So maybe you need to look it up. It is considered a philosophy.

[–]Cento330 1 point2 points ago

You, sir, need to read the original context. He claimed that Buddhism was a philosophy, NOT a religion, and that it was atheistic in its role. Both of which are complete false claims, Buddhists WORSHIP, as in praise in religious manner, Buddha, The Dharma, and the Sangha.

So you can take your 1 karma point and shove it up your wikipedia-loving ass, douche.

[–]reallyatwonk -1 points0 points ago

Atheistic meaning having no god. Buddha is not a god. The wrappings of religion are there with the method of worship, yes, but behind it is about the teaching, more about the philosophy. Earlier poster probably meant to add a qualifier before that line. You should read this and quit being an utter cunt about it!

[–]adshad -5 points-4 points ago

You really need to read the Tibetan book of the dead. They have some really really dumb rituals for dealing with death, like putting the corpse on its side and rubbing its arms while chanting so that the spirit will be released from the body. I'm paraphrasing, but its really dumb things like that.

[–]mistatoast 3 points4 points ago

I haven't seen this pic yet and I love it!

[–]PyloUK 2 points3 points ago

A good photo of a touching moment. Thanks for sharing :)

[–]Intolight 2 points3 points ago

Never seen this so IDGAF if it's a repost.

I'll start off by saying I'm atheist but seeing this is emotionally moving regardless of what my beliefs are. This guy died alone in the middle of a subway station. Doesn't look like he had a chance to say goodbye to his family or knew his death was coming.

Out of all the people in this crowded station, ONE PERSON had the decency to pay this man his last respect.

Wrong or right, it's things like this that make me respect religious people regardless of my personal views.

[–]lowkeyschmokey 1 point2 points ago

He's leading him through the bardo's.

[–]mammalsauce 1 point2 points ago

very powerful picture

[–]treydestepheno 1 point2 points ago

fuck. that's the way I'd like to go (not the alone at a train station part). but with a kick ass monk praying for me.

[–]paid9mm 1 point2 points ago

I wanted to downvote your rerererepost, but I can because this photo is awesome. Upvote

[–]mmtanner 0 points1 point ago

How does someone randomly die?

[–]GarMc 0 points1 point ago

He didn't randomly die.

[–]shpl1gank 0 points1 point ago

Hmmm I'd give this picture an award if I could. You sir, get an upvote. cherish it well.

[–]CygnusXII 0 points1 point ago

Badly chosen Title. We are all dying... Every second of every day. A steady march to our end. We are dying the instant after our birth.

[–]RoosterCogburnhad1_I -1 points0 points ago

You mean Shao Khan is stealing his soul.

[–]viront -3 points-2 points ago

A man doing nothing for another man that can't recognize the gesture.

[–]Kshaadoo -4 points-3 points ago

Dont know why, but a thought popped in to my head that suddenly ninjas will appear and that monk would beat a crap out of them. Yeah.

[–]elfherder -4 points-3 points ago

SsSSsoOO RaNdOm!
