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.

Um... that's not Tokyo; it's Hong Kong.

[–]zedee 0 points1 point ago

Wow, I just came here to say this... It's been like... where the hell did I see that pic before? Ahhh yeah, it's Hong Kong. Someone other realized before me.

[–]morninghighs 0 points1 point ago

This picture hangs in every shitty chinese restaurant (in belgium) must be at least 10-20 years old!

[–]hdx514 1 point2 points ago

The photo is quite recent actually. Notice the tall building right of the center. That's the international finance center, which was completed in 03. It was, until 09, the tallest building in Hong Kong, when it was surpassed by the international commerce center - that's the other tall building under construction in the back (completed in 2010). Given that the two buildings are of similar height, this photo was probably taken around 07-09.

Yikes! The site I got it from labeled it as Tokyo and I didn't even think twice about it!

[–]Zeleres 0 points1 point ago

No worries, that's what we (the Interwebs peoples) are here for.

[–]toxoplasmosis_cat -2 points-1 points ago

you mean you stole it...

[–]tdoublem[S] -1 points0 points ago

It was found on a scenery website with no other context than "Tokyo skyline." I just posted it to imgur so it could handle the traffic. No stealing involved on my part, mate, just posting something cool I found.

Sorry for rustling your jimmies, though.

[–]veritas671 2 points3 points ago

Yeah, I was just about say... I know Tokyo really well, and I know Hong Kong... Definitely NOT Tokyo.

[–]dre10g 1 point2 points ago

Taken from The Peak

[–]walrus0 1 point2 points ago

That's not Tokyo, that's very obviously Hong Kong. As evidenced by the fact that Tokyo has nothing like The Peak, the nearest hill/mountain is quite some distance away.

Cakeday? I'll let this one slide.

[–]SanBerdooSunburn 0 points1 point ago

I miss HK so much.

[–]Courage_now 0 points1 point ago

Still can't get the smell of hk out of my head

[–]MountainDewer -3 points-2 points ago
