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.

Every time I see people who are this kind of tall and thin I think

"There is no way those don't break when he is tackled from the side"

[–]A_Monocle_For_Sauron 5 points6 points ago

There's definitely a high injury rate for people over 7 feet. See Yao Ming, Greg Oden, or Kenny George for example.

[–]JonnyFrost 1 point2 points ago

[–]deidru 0 points1 point ago

Very much so higher rate. They have to make sure that they get enough nutrients. If not tall or even very thin people can have bone breakage from lacking calcium.
long story not included.... Take calcium.

[–]KazakBites 20 points21 points ago

...slender man.

[–]rainer511 1 point2 points ago

[–]evilsforreals 0 points1 point ago

Was gonna say, I didn't know the slender man played basketball in his spare time...

[–]DerGrosseMan -1 points0 points ago

I don't really like basketball.

[–]fredbnh 4 points5 points ago

He was a prince among men. RIP Manute.

[–]knomis 3 points4 points ago

He was a great man, basketball player, and humanitarian. But that doesn't change how unfortunate those shorts are.

[–]Argentis 2 points3 points ago

The Arm. From that kids' book "The Ear, The Eye, and The Arm".

[–]LightSeeker239 -1 points0 points ago

I'm glad I'm not the only one who remembers that book.

[–]jay_the_vast 2 points3 points ago

Those shorts are obscene...

[–]Punchcatpunchesshit 0 points1 point ago

Those legs are obscene...I feel like I can snap them by just looking at them.

[–]merrlin 2 points3 points ago

When I was fairly young, my brother-in-law got floor seats to a 76ers game from one of his salesmen at work. From the first moment I saw Manute Bol I couldn't look away. It amazed me that anyone that lankey could be so athletic.

[–]kalmisto 2 points3 points ago

List of world's tallest people

Interesting, Manute wasn't even in the top ten, though he is quite tall. :D

[–]Nakken 5 points6 points ago

[–]bumzo 1 point2 points ago

One man who could legitimately get a stand up blow job

[–]legthief 1 point2 points ago

He reminded me of Bolaji Badejo and now I've got the terror sweats again...

[–]Egress99 1 point2 points ago

Anytime I see Manute Bol I think of this old SNL sketch

[–]Hinden 0 points1 point ago

Same here!

[–]MidnightNarwhalBacon 1 point2 points ago

Funny, nothin' Manute about him...

[–]Skwerley 1 point2 points ago

Looks like a fucking Enderman.

[–]Kidsune 1 point2 points ago

Came here to say this Now we need another picture of him holding a square basketball

[–]HckrSvn 0 points1 point ago

Spiderman?

[–]runwild 0 points1 point ago

He is scary skinny

[–]sunwah 0 points1 point ago

reminded me of the alien beings in "close encounters of the third kind"

[–]Citizen_Sn1ps 0 points1 point ago

Those poor white guys.

[–]cooldmz 0 points1 point ago

I was going to say the only other thing I know about Manute Bol was that he coined the phrase "my bad" but when searching for a link I find that this was debunked 3 days after I read about it.

[–]RocketRedRocket 0 points1 point ago

Marfan's Syndrome much?

[–]nINJAKENT 0 points1 point ago

All I could think of was a nightstalker in tibia: http://admin.tibiaml.com/images/creatures/7xhhfxxvnightstalker.gif

[–]pikk 0 points1 point ago

Spider-man, spider-man...

[–]Phylo45 0 points1 point ago

It's an Enderman.. don't look at him!

[–]MickBain 0 points1 point ago

You follow the sports illustrated photo guy on twitter also, he does post up some awesome pics. http://mobile.twitter.com/si_vault

[–]notanartmajor 14 points15 points ago

Black Skellington?

[–]TehRinatSnoylle -4 points-3 points ago

Black Skellington.

[–]MagCynic 0 points1 point ago

Those joints look very, very fragile.

[–]iPotatoes -3 points-2 points ago

Definitely the inspiration for the Enderman from Minecraft. lol

[–]latticusnon 2 points3 points ago

Actually that would have been slenderman. This guy might have been the inspiration for that, though.
