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.

Anyone want to tell me why that was needed instead of like a intersection of rivers?

[–]wheel_sailor 1 point2 points ago

From wikipeadia it connects two canals, but the river Elbe between them is lower and it was a 12km diversion. Note going through locks uses water... and it also helps as the Elbe sometimes has low water levels, meaning barges had to be unloaded.

Because we can.

That's bad ass!

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

No, I don't get it. Why doesn't the water on the bridge run back down the bridge with gravity? I appreciate it's a 12km journey but isn't sea level sea level?

[–]EnhancementShaman 0 points1 point ago

who said it was sea level?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

I thought all lakes, rivers, oceans etc were at the same level which was called sea level. I suppose the oceans tides go in and out but two bodies of water at the same junction on earth I thought should be at the same 'height'. I just don't get it.

[–]EnhancementShaman 0 points1 point ago

So you think a river in the mountains is at sea level?

Not being at sea level is what makes rivers flow, they flow down hill into the sea.

Where boats want to go between water at different levels, they have locks. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lock_%28water_transport%29

The Panama Canal, which is a manmade shortcut across land for ships, has 6 locks total. 3 on each side of the central lake. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lock_%28water_transport%29
