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.

My best friend is going to be THRILLED that she shares a birthday with this big a celebrity!

[–]Theboomman 8 points9 points ago

Me too man. I have never found someone who else shares my birthday. Except the guy who plays Rorschach from watchmen.

[–]Ares1221 2 points3 points ago

Happy birthday. I hate my life, but happy birthday.

[–]Theboomman 3 points4 points ago

Thanks man i plan to get super wasted and forget that i hate my life as well.

[–]Twistlers_and_boobs 1 point2 points ago

I've actually met a lot of people with "our" birthday!

[–]Theboomman 1 point2 points ago

Well a Happy Birthday to you.

[–]Twistlers_and_boobs 1 point2 points ago

Happy birthday to you as well mister. I also plan to get wasted today.

[–]RedZupp 2 points3 points ago

Happy birthday to all of us, I guess.

[–]burrit0ninja 2 points3 points ago

Me too, me too! Happy bastille day everyone!

[–]Twistlers_and_boobs 1 point2 points ago

We should all gather and celebrate our birthday.

[–]Theboomman 1 point2 points ago

Haha i am down. I met another guy at a restaurant last night who was also born on that spectacular day. He just turned 70 and was a little wasted when i was talking to him.

[–]MaeveningErnsmau 0 points1 point ago

Christ, I am getting old. There's a whole generation that knows Jackie Earle Haley as something other than Kelly Leak.

[–]tehkyle5k 2 points3 points ago

So does my dad!

[–]kaydawfla 30 points31 points ago

It could possibly crush my daughter to know that SpongeBob is my age...

[–]zoanthropy 22 points23 points ago

It crushes me that you're my age and you have a daughter. I don't even have a girlfriend right now. :(

[–]cumfarts 4 points5 points ago

YOU SHOULD TOTALLY DATE THAT GUYS DAUGHTER

[–]Ted417 -2 points-1 points ago

-pedobear emoticon-

[–]gigabored 1 point2 points ago

Why? He was born in 1986. You shouldn't feel bad about not having a kid at 25-26 years old.

[–]melgee 18 points19 points ago

Happy 26th Birthday Spongebob ! :)

[–]MissCellania 2 points3 points ago

1984 is 28 years ago.

AK! That says 1986. Oh well, since I'm TWICE that age, I can lame it on bad eyesight.

[–]Batman_the_Dino 6 points7 points ago

Yes it is.

Also, the license says 86.

[–]MaeveningErnsmau 0 points1 point ago

[–]Strideo 0 points1 point ago

Don't have a heart attack-ack-ack-ack-ack-ack-ack!

You ought-a know by now. Who needs a house out in Hackensack?

Is that all you get for your money?

[–]Leryen 0 points1 point ago

You're 3972 years old?

[–]Woraug 51 points52 points ago

Spongebob is older than I am? The fuck?

[–]IMongoose 23 points24 points ago

It makes sense when you think about it, he does own a home, however pineapple shaped it may be.

[–]Yoyo8 2 points3 points ago

He must have that Andy milonakis disease.

[–]queenpandora 0 points1 point ago

Right? It's just by a few months, but what the fuck is this world.

[–]socks 0 points1 point ago

Anyone remember quaaludes? (Possibly not.) I'm thinking that a certain cartoon creator remembers the "Lemmon 714" on the pills and the annual holiday associated with them in the late 1970s. Happy quaalude day everyone!

[–]Kellou87 0 points1 point ago

Lol I was gonna say that too!

[–]tonyvila 14 points15 points ago

TIL Spongebob has hair.

[–]Zydrunas 5 points6 points ago

Spongebob doesn't have hair! Or...does he...ಠ_ಠ

[–]dickbag63 1 point2 points ago

it's yellow.

[–]LikeViolence 1 point2 points ago

I read that completely in Sandy's voice my first time through it and startled myself a little.

[–]Goron40 0 points1 point ago

Oh god, that line just made so much more sense.

[–]jjremy 2 points3 points ago

[–]romanista 2 points3 points ago

[–]tonyvila 0 points1 point ago

That hair ain't yellow.

[–]Zakk_Scar 9 points10 points ago

Spongebob was 12 in the first episode?

[–]dont_press_ctrl-W 13 points14 points ago

The first episode didn't necessarily take place in the same year as it ran.

According to the creator, Spongebob is "50 in sponge years". Not that it's helpful or anything.

[–]Pannecake 9 points10 points ago

13 by the official premier July 17th, 1999

[–]Odys 6 points7 points ago

Happy birthday sponge... I will not use you to clean the toilet today...

[–]dont_press_ctrl-W 6 points7 points ago

[–]Odys 0 points1 point ago

Haha, yes, I will do that tomorrow...

[–]rotarded 7 points8 points ago

shit I never realized he was so small... like...a sponge...

[–]KoreanTerran 10 points11 points ago

You don't remember those episodes where they go out of the water and they're the size of actual sponges? They had a stick in them and it was like a puppet show!

[–]jaydeejj 0 points1 point ago

Sponge Bob was also used as a real sponge. Patrick was too but I can't remember why...

[–]Strideo 0 points1 point ago

And then a bird showed up right?

[–]aethergen 8 points9 points ago

I HAVE THE SAME BIRTHDAY AS SPONGEBOB. ITS MY BIRTHDAY TODAY :D

[–]icortesi 0 points1 point ago

Happy birthday brah

[–]drgiggleface 2 points3 points ago

Thanks guys

[–]voucher420 4 points5 points ago

His license doesn't expire on his birthday.

[–]SpiritZR1 11 points12 points ago

Its the ocean, I'm sure their rules differ a bit from us land folk

[–]Laezur 10 points11 points ago

Neither does mine, you don't have to GET your license on your birthday.

[–]whatmattersmost 0 points1 point ago

most states (after 20) MAKE your license expire on your birthday, no matter what day you originally get them. Not all, but most.

[–]Dartakattack -3 points-2 points ago

Your license is supposed to expire on your birthday. Same with the registration on your car.

[–]relevantusername- 2 points3 points ago

It says his DOB in the bottom right corner.

[–]notfamousguy 1 point2 points ago

Thought he had his DL taken...I guess Puff just got fed up

[–]relevantusername- 1 point2 points ago

That's actually a scene from a dream he had.

[–]notfamousguy 0 points1 point ago

Gotcha

[–]JediMasterSam 1 point2 points ago

So he was 13 when the show came out?

[–]mitija 1 point2 points ago

so many people stole my birthday :(

[–]apgs 0 points1 point ago

[–]kaiwolf26 1 point2 points ago

[–]rob64 1 point2 points ago

[–]Hockeygoalie35 1 point2 points ago

[–]ccmotels 1 point2 points ago

Coincidence?

[–]exquisitecuddler 0 points1 point ago

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

TIL Spongebob and I have the same birthday

[–]Wwille 0 points1 point ago

My birthday aswell, celebrating with a broken foot. So why not have a spongebob marathon!

[–]BillBK 0 points1 point ago

TIL my birthday is one day apart from Spongebob.Interesting...

[–]mjskhblflsch 0 points1 point ago

When did he get his license?

[–]robbiekomrs 0 points1 point ago

Spongebob is the exact same age as me.

[–]qtipsbro 0 points1 point ago

Sponge Bob is 2-months older than me. FML!

[–]Jame_Jameson 0 points1 point ago

My mum will not believe this. If I know her as well as I think I do, she will be super excited she shares her day with Spongebob. Yes, I'm sure of it.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Wait... So when Spongebob started, he was a 13 year old fry cook?

[–]unoriginalsin 0 points1 point ago

Sorry dude, can't serve you. That license is expired.

[–]pendimonium 0 points1 point ago

Sweet, there's actually a celebrity who shares my birthday!

[–]americangldiator 0 points1 point ago

TIL Spongebob has the exact same birthday as me. Happy 26th birthday buddy!

[–]MisterPlumpy 0 points1 point ago

MY BIRTHDAY IS SPONGEBOB'S BIRTHDAY??

[–]I_Trolled_Your_Mom 0 points1 point ago

His license is expired

[–]Thissqid 0 points1 point ago

26 years old today! I always thought he was in his mid twenties

[–]froderick 0 points1 point ago

Oh my god.. I'm the same age as Spongebob.

[–]PoopManMcGee 0 points1 point ago

'86? so sponge bob is 26? Seems good though maybe not as old as I thought

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Also, yesterday (7/13) was the birthday for the guy who plays Patchy the Pirate.

[–]FusionGel 0 points1 point ago

I'll have to remember this for next year...someone remind me.

[–]Altilana 0 points1 point ago

TIL Spongebob is a year older than me O.o

[–]NGeX 0 points1 point ago

If Spongebob is 26, then I have a ton of hope that I can keep my youth intact past 30.

[–]DSTFU 0 points1 point ago

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea...

[–]tophergz 0 points1 point ago

Hey cool, me too!

[–]Bionicmonster 0 points1 point ago

[–]Unholy-Knight 0 points1 point ago

I love the older episodes the best... Regardless, Spongebob makes me laugh histarically

[–]luminosity11 0 points1 point ago

He has yellow hair?!

[–]monkeydrunker 1 point2 points ago

Just not on his head.

[–]jjremy 0 points1 point ago

[–]Skinny128 -1 points0 points ago

Carpet matches the drapes.

[–]skimmer14 -1 points0 points ago

See you on the front page!!

[–]whitedahlia -1 points0 points ago

TIL Spongebob is 26 :o

[–]IamJerrySoFU -1 points0 points ago

Spoiler alert! Iam watching first series, I thought he will never get the license :(

[–]relevantusername- 1 point2 points ago

He doesn't, it's a scene from a dream.

[–]IamJerrySoFU -1 points0 points ago

Now you ruined it again :( I would live in surmise spongebob will sometimes get driving license and I would be really surprised it was just in his dream.

[–]relevantusername- 0 points1 point ago

You're welcome, don't mention it.

[–]whatmattersmost 0 points1 point ago

Thats all fine and dandy. but you can't claim spoils on content that happened in 99-2000 :\

It'd be like me claiming "Spoiler alert!" when someone made a joke about the Y2K bug not causing any trouble.

[–]IamJerrySoFU 0 points1 point ago

Well I wasn't serious of course. Who cares about cartoon about sponge in a sea with no story line, therefore any spoilers are quite impossible. It's not like spongebob having driving license makes you say "What a twist!". But still I have trouble with your example. If I haven't seen The sixth sense and someone told me about the thing with Bruce W., then it's still spoiler, even it was released in 1999. Y2K is real history, with that logic before any history class there would have to be spoiler alert sign.

[–]whatmattersmost 0 points1 point ago

Honestly though, it wasn't about if it was by definition a spoiler. There just has to be a legitimate time frame to which things don't need to be worried about when it comes to 'spoiling'

As far as the history thing goes. That's exactly my point. After a few years... things should not have to worry about if its by definition a spoiler. As thats adequate time for things to have become known or common knowledge to most (in context of what is being spoiled.)

[–]cuzseven89 -1 points0 points ago

boy needs to get a new license STAT.

[–]Halo6819 -1 points0 points ago

TIL: Sponge Bob is 26

[–]Iridebike -1 points0 points ago

Why does it expire on a different day than his birthday?

[–]mew5175 -1 points0 points ago

i feel as though this does not confirm the validity of his birthday considering based on my knowledge of Spongebob, he does not have a Driver's License.

Therefore this is a Fake ID and he probably uses it to get into the Salty Platoon and the birth date is not real.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

He gets one shortly in one episode after getting "extra credit."

[–]mew5175 1 point2 points ago

is that the "what i learned in boating school is...." episode?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

IIRC yes.

[–]Clamd -1 points0 points ago

TIL spongebob is older than me -.-

[–]DoctorSandwich -1 points0 points ago

TIL Spongebob is 26.

[–]PrecookedDonkey -3 points-2 points ago

And my birthdays are ruined now.....

[–]savvy422 1 point2 points ago

:O

[–]PrecookedDonkey 0 points1 point ago

Down voted for not liking Sponge Bob huh? Come on Reddit its not like I said I hate cats or anything like that.

[–]BramVM -2 points-1 points ago

His signature reads Spongebol Squarepants.
