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.

Reminds me of the owl photo.

It's crazy to think that, despite the size difference, these things are sharp enough to truly do some serious damage to a person. I hope I never piss one off.

I thought it was taking down a rabbit or something... Definitely a lot bigger than a rabbit.

[–]Kiyiko 0 points1 point ago

Deer.

Modern Raptor. FTFY.

[–]chapthedog 2 points3 points ago

Do chickens have large talons?

[–]GiveMeBackMySon 4 points5 points ago

If these things evolved from velociraptors, then why do we still have velociraptors?

Checkmate atheists!

Looks like you're not getting your son back....

[–]The_Music 1 point2 points ago

One of the most beautiful animals, ever.

[–]Zeike 1 point2 points ago

Cassowary.

These birds will literally gut people with their talons.

[–]zthirtytwo 0 points1 point ago

Well that couldn't be worse than it figuratively gutting a person.

That's a golden eagle for you. Scientific name Aquila chrysaetos. Has a typical wingspan of 1.8 to 2.34 m (5.9 to 7.7 ft). And huge fucking talons.

I was hiking down a trail one time and I saw this massive thing swoop down 5 feet above the ground, 10 feet away from me. Needless to say, I almost shat myself. I saw it perch on an abandoned electrical wooden post. I looked at it through binoculars, but unluckily I didn't have my camera.

Fuck you flickr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[–]ManCity 0 points1 point ago

This bird could kill you two. Out of all raptors I believe the Golden Eagle has the strongest grip. If this the gets it's talons into you, it's not letting go until it wants to.
