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.

Intelligence and humor are two of the most wonderful traits for a human being to possess.

[–][deleted] 13 points14 points ago

And abs.

[–]ThatGuyYouKindaKnow 2 points3 points ago

And Kindness.

[–]WHATBACON 3 points4 points ago

and fuzzy slippers

[–]ThatGuyYouKindaKnow 0 points1 point ago

Always fuzzy slippers.

My parents lived down the street from him in Princeton in the 50s. They said he was a very personable guy who got along especially well with the neighborhood kids.

The first time my mom saw him walking down their street, she said to my dad, "Look, there's a hobo in our neighborhood!" (Einstein was a shabby dresser.) My dad calmly told her, "No honey, that's one of the smartest men who has ever lived." Dad 1: Mom 0.

How old are you?

[–]Tatertits 0 points1 point ago

Dead.

[–]jlmathis 9 points10 points ago

Einstein saw Uggs before it was a fashion statement.

[–]jeremy2844 1 point2 points ago

Those are Tom Brady's...

[–]longboarding52 0 points1 point ago

He knew...

[–]flashingcurser 9 points10 points ago

They go well with his hair.

[–]I_will_fix_this 5 points6 points ago

Probably playing the static electricity game with Tesla.

[–]feyrath 5 points6 points ago

Actually they're normal slippers, with a liberal spray application of Heisenberg's uncertainty spray-on coating(tm). The entire surface is now subject to an exaggerated HUP, which makes it appear fuzzy.

[–]HeatheryLeathery 6 points7 points ago

Einstein was a seriously cool guy.

[–]okpmem -1 points0 points ago

He's my favorite socialist.

[–]TheHatman9 0 points1 point ago

and he's my favorite agnostic Jew.

[–]molslaan 1 point2 points ago

TIL always shave your toes before touching the terminal of a Tesla coil.

[–]monsterdrank 1 point2 points ago

This picture is in Landau's in Princeton with the steps it was taken on. They also have the only permanent Albert Einstein Museum in the world.

[–]alien-smalien 1 point2 points ago

Oh Albert, you crazy.

[–]newhorizons3 1 point2 points ago

can anybody point me to a high res version of this image? or does anybody know where to find one that I could buy, I want to frame it and put it on my wall!!!

[–]Secret4gentMan 1 point2 points ago

Fucks given? Zero.

[–]ricardoman1218 1 point2 points ago

Those are actually chunks of his hair on his feet.

[–]galvana 1 point2 points ago

That is a relatively funny picture.

[–]austincarnivore 0 points1 point ago

Little known fact. Einstein invented Stompeez.

[–]bluechartreuse 0 points1 point ago

On phone, no sources but IIRC, Einstein had sensitive feet and was in constant search of comfortable footwear. Looks like he finally found his thinking slippers!

[–]FuzzySlipp3rs 0 points1 point ago

good times

[–]RzK 0 points1 point ago

Either slippers, or hes a very old hobbit

[–]rosswinn 0 points1 point ago

I believe this was the photograph that inspired the scene from Real Genius where the professor and the protagonist wear the same fuzzy bunny slippers. IIRC...

[–]sociomaladaptivist 0 points1 point ago

Thank you very much for not adding "That is all" to the title.

[–]drunken1 0 points1 point ago

You sir, are my redditor of the day.

Thank you for my new phone background.

Aww he thinks he's people

[–]teacher_geek 0 points1 point ago

Gotta love a genius who does not take himself seriously!

[–]redlightbreaks -2 points-1 points ago

repost.

It's part of war. Considering the Japanese didn't go on trial for their war crimes, I'd say they got off alright. We pretty much paid to rebuild their cities, too. Ask the Japanese if they did that for the Chinese.
