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), weight loss photos, posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. Weight loss photos go in /r/loseit, 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.

Pretty sure it wasn't the father who was being badass?

[–]massenburger -3 points-2 points ago

Why is this a question.

Gran, I thought you said you didn't like reddit after you watched Anderson Cooper.

[–]tokeyoh 8 points9 points ago

when youre old, you want to have a murderer son in prison? makes sense

[–]nabokovsnose 2 points3 points ago

I love how this little fable is almost 150 years old and still regularly gets posted to reddit as recent news.

[–]raffytraffy 0 points1 point ago

old joke is old.

[–]BillsBayou 1 point2 points ago

Holy crap! I knew this was an old joke, but 128 years?

[–]BillsBayou 20 points21 points ago

When I'm old, I hope I don't keep seeing this repost.

[–]JafBot 7 points8 points ago

Isn't your comment a repost? I see it every day and it annoys me each time; the images don't.

[–]BillsBayou 0 points1 point ago

The spirit behind my comment is a repost, but the text is original to the thread.

Thanks for keeping up on my comments. Look for me again at a repost near you.

[–]CarlWheezer 9 points10 points ago

Don't like reposts? Leave the Internet, it's full of them.

[–]BillsBayou 4 points5 points ago

Brudda, ain't dat da troot?

[–]WillBlaze 1 point2 points ago

I don't even want to wait that long to stop seeing the repost complaints.

[–]sleepy55 3 points4 points ago

There's a picture of an old man near a garden, it must be true!

[–]waltkidney 1 point2 points ago

man this story is even older than the old man...

[–]Glands 1 point2 points ago

I love this post, but since I've seen it before I'm going to make rude comments about reposts so the OP feels bad.

[–]BillsBayou 0 points1 point ago

Negative reinforcement is a valid training tool.

[–]PDU_adam 1 point2 points ago

It wasn't the old man that was the badass in this situation.

[–]rozetto 0 points1 point ago

nothing badass about the old man

[–]PeopleofYouTube 0 points1 point ago

the old man or the one in prison who pretends he murders people?

[–]whatev_kev 0 points1 point ago

It should be noted the old man didn't do shit. You want to be badass enough to have an imprisoned son who is wiley?

[–]Mr_Showtime 0 points1 point ago

The only possible "badass" from this story is the guy in jail..... have fun.

[–]BillsBayou 0 points1 point ago

Being in jail is not badass. It's dumbass.

[–]Mr_Showtime 0 points1 point ago

Sure, but maybe you should read the post for context

[–]eric225 0 points1 point ago

The sad thing is, the first time I saw this was on facebook and THEN reddit, about 5 months ago maybe?

[–]Gamper33 0 points1 point ago

I wish I was as clever as the son in jail. Oh the irony of what I just said.

[–]Johnny_Oldschool 0 points1 point ago

Obviously fake, but funny.

[–]PapauNewGuinea 0 points1 point ago

You want to be badass enough to be the lucky beneficiary of spam-mail who did absolutely nothing?

[–]buggaz 0 points1 point ago

I love this story. Even this fifth time.

Cops are stupid.
