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.

[–]CFtheGing 0 points1 point ago

And he has a great tie.

[–]Kmaun_Lee 0 points1 point ago

He's just so charming.

[–]cuteman -1 points0 points ago

One of the main reasons he was elected!

[–]beefmasterson 38 points39 points ago

your friend looks like he may be related to gary busey

[–]GABBAGHOUL 5 points6 points ago

He doesn't quite have the horse teeth. :E

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

or andy samburg got a haircut...

[–]shphunk 185 points186 points ago

Why is it that Obama always looks like he is the happiest person in the world in Reddit pics? The last time I smiled that big I was on a fucking inner tube being dragged by a boat at 40 knots.

[–]thumper242 94 points95 points ago

Practice.

[–]Spiro_Agnew 54 points55 points ago

Because his PR people told him to smile like Reagan, not like Nixon.

[–]Fudgeworth 27 points28 points ago

Great job, good family, interesting life, who wouldn't be happy?

[–]throwAwayMama123 27 points28 points ago

Fucked up world weighing on your shoulders, I would find it hard to smile.

[–]tellmehowitis 6 points7 points ago

Well maybe the dude finds things that make him happy? Maybe that he actually likes his job...? Something to smile about

[–][deleted] ago

[–]xeivous 8 points9 points ago

As racist and potentially broad stroking as this post is. It does have truth to it.

[–]vbenv 3 points4 points ago

How is it racist?

[–]YNot1989 2 points3 points ago

Most powerful organic life-form known to man, what's not to love?

[–]bapzannigan -1 points0 points ago

how he uses it

[–]YouListening 9 points10 points ago

I think he realized people still like him.

[–]Wally_B 4 points5 points ago

yup. about half of voting americans

[–]tellmehowitis 8 points9 points ago

Needs to be most of voting Americans!

[–]jetpack_operation 1 point2 points ago

Think they do. It's tough not to like the guy even if you're generally not in favor of his policies and don't vote for him. Unless you're that type of person.

[–]gruesky 0 points1 point ago

Probably a bit more than half since democrat apathy is far higher than republican apathy in terms of voting.

[–]afiresword 0 points1 point ago

That half of all americans just have to be a majorittty in states that matter.

[–]McMeanface 55 points56 points ago

Why is your friend doing Slothface?

[–]StewieBanana 1 point2 points ago

He's also doing WilliamShatnerPosture.

[–]SpencerJamesK 168 points169 points ago

Too bad he made that fucking face next to the damn president

[–]Energy_Turtle 113 points114 points ago

I don't understand this phenomenon. I would try to look as decent as possible when meeting the president or any one I respected. I don't want to show my children and grandchildren a picture of me looking like a retard next to a president of the United States.

[–]nazbot 21 points22 points ago

I dunno, it's kind of the charm of living in America/democracies. It's sort of the idea that you get to do that to someone who could pretty much end life on the planet as we know it.

[–]thefuckdude 0 points1 point ago

if you think about it, there are quite a few people who could do that.

[–]telperiontree 12 points13 points ago

Looks like the damn president was entertained. Probably why he was smiling so hard and calling the guy 'homie'.

If looking as stupid as possible got the President smiling like that, I'da done it too.

[–]FourSquash 6 points7 points ago

It seems more like he was politely putting up with it.

[–]crackills 9 points10 points ago

Im pretty sure thats cardboard.

[–]centralnjthrowaway 2 points3 points ago

Glad I'm not the only one who saw that

[–]eifersucht12a 9 points10 points ago

He called him his homie. Not exactly a formal affair. President is just another job. It's an important one, but he's not some demigod.

[–]TheKittensAreComing 3 points4 points ago

No shit. He blew it! That's what generations upon generations will see!

[–]InDaDrops 1 point2 points ago

Hey I'm with the president. Think...think....ok good. I'm ready with my douche-face.

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]chatzimcfee 34 points35 points ago

This is where you're going wrong. You are asserting that he is a douche. You should have said he looks like a douche. This is far more accurate, and not really debatable.

[–]RawdogginRandos 12 points13 points ago

I bet you have a lot of friends

[–]HammerPope 4 points5 points ago

I think it's hilarious.

[–]TheCoinHandler 20 points21 points ago

Is your friend a swimmer??

[–]bbibber 22 points23 points ago

We were all good swimmers once...

[–]TheCommentAppraiser 4 points5 points ago

Yes. Very.

[–]lugabs11[S] 16 points17 points ago

Yes. Very.

[–]tedmdelacruz 28 points29 points ago

he's a very swimmer, ain't he?

[–]situbusitgooddog 10 points11 points ago

He surely do.

[–]LykDisIfUcryerrytime 7 points8 points ago

they dont think it be like it is but it do

[–]polysemous_entelechy 4 points5 points ago

yes, is.

[–]NorthAve 0 points1 point ago

Send him over to /r/swimming after he gets done with the Olympics.

[–]TempusMn 22 points23 points ago

Anyone can see that it's just a cardboard cutout of a guy pointing at Obama. The stuff that guy'll do to get votes huh?

[–]Flobblem 4 points5 points ago

I like the idea that one of the most powerful men in the world discovered Reddit a few months ago and has been doing everything he can to get our full approval.

"Sir, we need a decision on Syria"

"Hold on a second, I think I'm gonna make front page so I'll need to edit my post thanking people, and there are still blue links all over the place"

[–]JayTerbs3 0 points1 point ago

I studied the picture for a really long time, and I found if you look at Obama's left hand, you can see his fingers, three-dimensional fingers. So, I mean, that seems as proof enough for me.

[–]amheekin 37 points38 points ago

God, I adore how happy Obama always looks to be meeting people. It really warms my heart. He seems like one of the most charming people in the world.

[–]dabezian 1 point2 points ago

And that is why he is a successful politician and you aren't.

But yes, I do suppose he is genuinely happier than Presidents that we've had before him.

[–]FreeK200 17 points18 points ago

Bush Jr. is a good contender. People might not have like his presidency, but if that man isn't a good person you'd like to be around, I don't know who is.

[–]jetpack_operation 0 points1 point ago

Ha, yeah, I liked GWB. Wouldn't have voted for him, but he had a sort of random compassionate streak that popped up in his policies once in awhile and seemed like a genuinely nice guy.

[–]devilsadvocated -3 points-2 points ago

Well he didn't get elected for his experience, so...

[–]Garybomb 10 points11 points ago

Dude, you're getting a Dell.

[–]rumblegod 4 points5 points ago

Obama's a good looking dude.

[–]Daduck 4 points5 points ago

Am I the only one thinking that Obama looks a bit 2d in that picture?

[–]TravlngDildoSalesman 12 points13 points ago

OH THE CLASSIC POINTING AT "THIS GUY" AND MAKING A PERPLEXED FACE.

CHODESVILLE

[–]jigglesv 10 points11 points ago

I don't know what I would do if I were to meet the president. Would I ask about the campaign? Current polices? Current politics? I don't know much about any of them to actually go somewhere with it. I don't even know if I could get straight answers. I could try to connect to him as a person but, I don't know enough about life yet to have a good conversation.

I suppose I would probably stand/sit there thinking/saying, "Damn, you're the fucking president and here I am next to you, smile."

[–]CODDE117 2 points3 points ago

I'd ask him how he's doing. Honestly. Maybe "What's up?". Here. "Hey! Hi! How are you?" shakes hand(s) "response" "I am doing good! How is everything going, with the whole President thing and all?"

[–]SUCOL 1 point2 points ago

I always keep an Award for Best Citizen in History in my pocket so when I meet the president by chance I will pretend to Hand it to him ceremoniously while someone takes our picture, so it can look like is bestowing it on me. Then, Profit.

[–]beardiswhereilive 2 points3 points ago

I'd ask questions. Everyone has a lot to learn about life. What an opportunity it would be to learn from someone in his position. At the end of the day we all breathe, we all bleed, we are all just people. As a society we should pull the pedestal out from under famous and powerful people. We can all contribute.

Man I'm so high.

[–]jskater17 0 points1 point ago

I know I wouldn't point at the guy while having our photo taken.

[–]dwolff22 73 points74 points ago

As an uninformed American, who is that black guy with our young white President?

[–]Intrexa 22 points23 points ago

re: RE: fwd: re: fw: RE: re: fw: LoL! funny joke must read!

It's old, and a bit bad, but 100% relevant

[–]SalamBro 22 points23 points ago

Ah, the old reddit switch-a-roo

[–]FISH_MASTER 9 points10 points ago

just a shame he pulled that face. In years to come, when he shows his grand children they will ask....why were you such a dick?

[–]Fanntastic 35 points36 points ago

I hate people who make faces like that in pictures. Why can't you just stop pretending you're clever and freaking smile?

[–]str8slash12 30 points31 points ago

I am more annoyed with the pointing, their is two people in the photo and one of them is the fucking president, we don't need you to point him out.

[–]bfogarty27 9 points10 points ago

there are*

[–]BlueRainstorm 0 points1 point ago

Maybe he was too excited to compose himself? Cause you know, he is with the President of the United States. As a non-American, even I would be super stoked to get a picture with someone who is part of history in the making. :D

[–]jelllyfish 1 point2 points ago

The President is such a charismatic person that this guy probably felt like they actually were buddies. Some people just put you so at ease that you forget to comport yourself with dignity. I don't blame him.

[–]xzorrox -2 points-1 points ago

Cause its his picture and not yours?

[–]Mantis05 3 points4 points ago

Barack Obama is probably the #1 person I'd like to meet someday. Celebrities are cool - and I'd definitely love to have some awesome, "Look who I met!" stories - but, c'mon, it's the PotUS!

[–]Misquotes_Movies 2 points3 points ago

Is it just me or does Obama look really cheezed in that picture?

[–]muscat 2 points3 points ago

Haha your friend does look like a guy who wants to be called homie by a black guy!

[–]BracedPolecat 2 points3 points ago

I dont care that I disagree with a few of his political views and actions but Id be honored to meet him in person and shake his hand

[–]Greg0800 2 points3 points ago

That man, regardless of all of the politics...is damn cool. Imagine asking David Cameron for a photograph..

[–]XaulXan 62 points63 points ago

Friend looks like a complete tool

[–]aloeicious 31 points32 points ago

If you were hiding behind your keyboard, we could judge you too.

[–]XaulXan 26 points27 points ago

Jus sayin. If I were getting my picture taken with the President I'd probably save my natty ice bro face for later

[–]str8slash12 7 points8 points ago

Don't know why you are getting downvotes you are 100% correct.

[–]my8thchannel -3 points-2 points ago

He looks attractive.

[–]advicevice 8 points9 points ago

Ever see Romney in pictures like this?

[–]Itwasme101 17 points18 points ago

No one can afford to take one with him.

[–]Vivovix 11 points12 points ago

[–]Noppers 1 point2 points ago

Any pictures of Romney like this would never see the light of day on Reddit.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

You're right, because everyone who wanted to attend the George Clooney/Obama fundraiser got to go.

[–]cannyfraunch 3 points4 points ago

He's usually too preoccupied with everything he does that he keeps a secret.

[–]Super_Boz9 1 point2 points ago

Lucky sum'bitch.

[–]Thefrostandthefuriou 1 point2 points ago

It looks like a cut out if you look at obamas head

[–]seroab 1 point2 points ago

That's a good pic!

[–]ShitMoneyAndTheWord 1 point2 points ago

Guys we really gotta stop pointing directly at the obvious focal points of our photos.

[–]evanbunnell 1 point2 points ago

Brobama does it again!

[–]TarmacSTi 1 point2 points ago

Where and when was this that he is wearing an overcoat and scarf? It's almost August!

[–]Stall0ne 1 point2 points ago

How do people just randomly meet the fucking PRESIDENT??

[–]vonamor 1 point2 points ago

I'm curious. Can anybody see the brand of the scarf? Joseph &... ?

[–]Drunkenmeister 0 points1 point ago

yeah me too

[–]mayonaze 1 point2 points ago

If that is indeed true, we have an awesome president.

[–]saydbar 1 point2 points ago

I met him last week. We fist-bumped potato/french fry style. He's a fabulous individual.

[–]backwardsK15 1 point2 points ago

My .......... President

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

Where are the Secret Service when you really need them?

[–]aydizz 1 point2 points ago

It's always a "friend"

[–]trancedellic 1 point2 points ago

I wish my country had a president like that!

[–]ambrogi5421 3 points4 points ago

I feel weird that i noticed how nice Obama's tie was tied

[–]artistictech 0 points1 point ago

The guy probably switches ties at least once a day, that's two ties a day for the last four years, he's got some practice I feel

[–]lugabs11[S] 1 point2 points ago

Okay guys, some people are saying it's cardboard, or a wax museum or whatever. We've got more pictures.

Here's the whole family

http://imgur.com/IynNP

[–]danceswithponiez 1 point2 points ago

Ridiculously photogenic president.

[–]beanso 2 points3 points ago

I think this is one of the few pictures I've seen of Obama (non-professional) where there hasn't been a secret service guy.

[–]koltrui 0 points1 point ago

They took the picture.

[–]pwnyoface 3 points4 points ago

How'd he meet obama? He's one president I'd actually like to meet and ask a few questions

[–]PhotoshopMogul 3 points4 points ago

what in the fuck

[–]swingchild 1 point2 points ago

Man, I fucking love our president.

[–]theheartofgold 1 point2 points ago

Obama's got what you call MAJOR fucking charisma.

[–]briankauf 0 points1 point ago

Looks like he made the President laugh, niiiice.

[–]Hyperian 2 points3 points ago

your friend is pretty tall, cause obama is like 6 foot or something

[–]dead_ed 0 points1 point ago

Your friend needs to come over for a while and, uh, play video games. Yeah, video games, that's right. Uh huh.

[–]Mase12 2 points3 points ago

I am sorry but if I met The President I would have dressed nicer and would not be grabbing him over the shoulder and pointing at him, but that is just me. Great picture by the way!

[–]gaymer27 0 points1 point ago

[–]koltrui 0 points1 point ago

Wtf, was that taken at a fucking rave or something?

[–]Lurker0001 0 points1 point ago

[–]Toasterthegamer 0 points1 point ago

Anyone else wonder why the president has his eyes pretty much closed? lol

[–]BlueRainstorm 0 points1 point ago

Aww. He looks genuinely happy. Nice to see that he's one of the people who give a genuine smile when asked for a photo with. :)

[–]magnoliafly 0 points1 point ago

Dude - is your friend a giant or standing on a box? Obama is like 8'12 or some shit. At the wax museum I barely come up to his bicep.

[–]russiangn[!] 0 points1 point ago

This may sound stupid but one day I want to mail Obama a letter requesting his autograph (hand written). He has one of my favorite signatures. I've linked it here.

[–]drceverettkoop 1 point2 points ago

Do it tomorrow.

[–]russiangn[!] 1 point2 points ago

I plan on doing it soon. I really hope he replies. He's the first president I've ever voted for and he has one of my favorite signatures!

[–]Anuglyman 2 points3 points ago

Because it looks like a jizzing penis?

[–]RawdogginRandos 0 points1 point ago

What's wrong with the one you linked to

He works at Doncker's. Actually, his parents own it, haha.

HAY YOU GUIZE. I THINK DAT LOOKS LIEK CARDBORED. Although seriously, cardboard. Edit: Yeah, his left hand basically means I'm wrong. Still looks weird, but whatever. FUCK ME, RIGHT?

[–]3dug 4 points5 points ago

They both look cardboard to me now.

[–]TaintedSquirrel 4 points5 points ago

Wait, is it really cardboard? I'm thinking no: Look at Obama's left hand. You can see the pinky finger in the back, plus the carpet through the gap in his fingers. Plus, the light reflecting on the right-side of his face.

[–]anthrocide 4 points5 points ago

Are you one of those flat earth theorists?

[–]GrammarFailure 6 points7 points ago

i'm pretty sure it's not because reasons.

[–]charrzard -2 points-1 points ago
