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.

Shopped but still a good pic i suppose.

[–]LkCa15 -3 points-2 points ago

It's pretty obvious when the moon is that big

[–]ScottFromCanada 9 points10 points ago

The moon can be as big as you want in a picture. You just use a telephoto lens, or crop the picture (and blow it up). Someone needs to try to get this picture for real!

[–]random19 0 points1 point ago

light does not work that way

[–]happywaffle 4 points5 points ago

Also the terminator line isn't nearly that "sharp."

[–]LNMagic[!] 1 point2 points ago

It's pretty obvious when you can still see the stars in the same shot.

[–]mashed_cows 53 points54 points ago

Source

[–]superfahd 3 points4 points ago

wha?!?

[–]mashed_cows 8 points9 points ago

It is a picture of a very popular programming IDE (Integrated Development Environment) Eclipse, and it is viewing source code.

[–]alexandream 3 points4 points ago

Not only that, it's showing code for a fractal. Albeit it is a fractal geared towards generating mountains, it could well be tuned to generate the sort of Clouds we see in the pictures, giving the "Source" reference a double meaning.

Well played, sir! well played.

[–]camelCaseCondition 2 points3 points ago

I understand that reference!

[–]jerzmacow 0 points1 point ago

yeah, I'll just go now

[–]G0T0 10 points11 points ago

Pink Floyd anyone?

[–]nacho93 6 points7 points ago

And all that you touch...

[–]Burritoguy 6 points7 points ago

And everything under the sun is in tune

[–]nacho93 0 points1 point ago

All that you taste

[–]nacho93 0 points1 point ago

what is this??????? and all you distrust

[–]devbang -1 points0 points ago

Is that electric koolaid...

[–]piecat 3 points4 points ago

And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear.

You shout and no one seems to hear.

And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes,

I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

Dark side of the moon is such a great album.

[–]nacho93 -5 points-4 points ago

wrong song, ya dingus. that's Brain Damage.

[–]piecat 1 point2 points ago

Well, the album is called dark side of the moon, and I figured the lyrics to Brain Damage would fit the picture a bit better than Eclipse, ya dingus.

[–]nacho93 1 point2 points ago

the pic is called Eclipse, and for this reason I now bestow upon you the dingus-hood you attempted to relinquish back to me. ya dingus

[–]ThePendulum 5 points6 points ago

Added what was missing.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

thank you so much

[–]Zazzerpan 2 points3 points ago

Isn't this just a terragen 2 render? I used to make tons of these things back in high school.

[–]Pandaless1 1 point2 points ago

Stunning!

[–]lukinlbc 1 point2 points ago

Either way, this is an incredible shot!

[–]Gockel 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, A&A is a great band!

[–]superficial32 1 point2 points ago

fake, but a great looking picture.

[–]tylorjams 1 point2 points ago

Repost with lazier caption, bravo.

[–]Sanitary_Lumpkin 1 point2 points ago

Hey that's my current wallpaper... that I got from an earlier post of this picture.

My new wallpaper! ty

[–]profound563 4 points5 points ago

new desktop background

[–]numbakrunch 1 point2 points ago

Right now Neil deGrasse Tyson is holding the bridge of his nose and shaking his head ruefully.

[–]draxxis 2 points3 points ago

Does this mean Heroes is coming back!?

[–]anondl 0 points1 point ago

Isn't that the logo for Heroes?

[–]Thergal 0 points1 point ago

Yeah that book was good !

[–]vesky 0 points1 point ago

Who gave Superman a camera?! Damn it people!

[–]TheSystem_IsDown -1 points0 points ago

Photoshop did, that's who.

[–]DrewskiCarlston 0 points1 point ago

this would be the ultimate r/trees smoke spot

[–]sixthmillipede 0 points1 point ago

This has been my background for months. I've been sitting on a karma mine and I had no idea.

[–]Crentski 0 points1 point ago

This was posted back during the eclipse. I've been using it as my phone wallpaper since. Also, it's not the Heroes logo. On this image the main glare is on the right centerline of te eclipse. In the word Heroes the main glare is on the centerline of the top. The primary heroes image used after the intro credits has an even distribution of light along the entire right half circumference.

[–]Cookie_Salad 0 points1 point ago

YOU CANNOT ESCAPE YOUR FAAAAAAAATTTEE!!!!

[–]O_oblivious 0 points1 point ago

Shopped or not, it still sent chills down my spine.

[–]missaliss 0 points1 point ago

Glad you liked my wallpaper dump and reposted this.

[–]someswedishgirl 0 points1 point ago

I just started hearing Pink Floyd in my head. Oddly enough it was comfortably numb, and not Eclipse.

[–]The5012 0 points1 point ago

But the sun is eclipsed by the moooooooooooon!

[–]sweetiebelle15 0 points1 point ago

Aww you must have JUST missed snapping Mew! Hate when that happens. His bubble moves way too fast.

[–]thefourthstooge 0 points1 point ago

The all seeing eye

[–]e30fern -2 points-1 points ago

Ugh one again, people, that's the Heroes logo. Stop this.

[–]ArchersTest910 0 points1 point ago

Because there can only be one image of an eclipse, ever.

[–]xd1200f -4 points-3 points ago

Bad photoshop - re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-repost

[–]Kyoni -1 points0 points ago

Thank you for my new background :D
