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:

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.

This is the National Geographic Photo of the Day. As always OP, you're a bit of a shit, and could at least credit the source if you're not going to link directly.

[–]bassplaya614 16 points17 points ago

Yeah, for some reason I have him tagged in red as "Shitty liar-DO NOT TRUST." Something about this post seemed untrustworthy.

[–]nodefect 11 points12 points ago

Might be because of this. Or maybe something older, since there are people in that thread who already had him tagged as a liar.

[–]Omarocksdisworld 2 points3 points ago

yup thats it

[–]bassplaya614 0 points1 point ago

Holy lactating goat nipples, Batman! He is a liar!

Stealing your tag.

What is he lying about?

[–]fronteir 2 points3 points ago

I expected more from Paul Giamatti.

[–]psychroclasm 1 point2 points ago

We kill sites with direct links. Credit is enough.

[–]christoscamaro 0 points1 point ago

I'd retire from photography if i took a shot that good.

[–]publius4 -2 points-1 points ago

Why is OP shit? He didn't take credit for the photo.

[–]TobiasKM 1 point2 points ago

He didn't give any either, which is sort of the point.

[–]publius4 -1 points0 points ago

How many people on reddit actually do that though?

[–]TobiasKM 1 point2 points ago

That is a silly argument. Does that justify it?

[–]johnnyquest88 7 points8 points ago

can we get a face swap?

Once-in-a-lifetime shot indeed. RIP photographer.

[–]hphgrw2003 25 points26 points ago

gay pride

[–]robot-rollcall 1 point2 points ago

Lions actually do exhibit homosexual behavior, both males and females. The dudes especially can have full-on romantic pair bonds.

[–]Space_Masters 0 points1 point ago

Is this in the wild or in captivity?

[–]robot-rollcall 0 points1 point ago

In the wild. Same goes for elephants, actually.

[–]ThatGuyYouKindaKnow 1 point2 points ago

Same goes for almost all animals, actually.

[–]Scadilla 0 points1 point ago

The first lion is the best looking. The second is the ugliest. Sorry second lion.

[–]LxB 5 points6 points ago

When a new alpha male lion takes over a pride, his first act is to kill all the cubs (they aren't his). Then mate with all the females (to make his own cubs).

[–]LightningMaiden 1 point2 points ago

Makes me wonder how that many males got together in the first place

[–]MrBullyGoat 2 points3 points ago

Brothers from a large pride. Probably elephant hunters.

[–]LightningMaiden 3 points4 points ago

...awesome

[–]moarlongcatplox2 3 points4 points ago

I'll trade you Finland's military for these.

[–]enjoyingtheride 2 points3 points ago

[–]Vettit 2 points3 points ago

That right there... Is a Gay Pride

[–]DNT123 1 point2 points ago

look at these bros.

[–]lcw 1 point2 points ago

4, 1, 5, 2, 6, nope.

[–]theofficialposter 1 point2 points ago

Um, excuse me lion. Your spacing is a bit off. A little to your right please.

OCD death.

[–]MysteryBoxer 2 points3 points ago

I think people underestimate just how fucking lazy male lions can be...

[–]ohgeronimo 7 points8 points ago

I think people overestimate how lazy male lions can be.

They're big, so it takes much more energy for them to compete on the level of the females, but they do take part in some hunts. There's even a difference in the type of prey they hunt, because some types are more suitable for the males to go after. They also are seen around the pride in between walking the territory to keep up scent markers and patrolling for incursions by other groups. So when you see them among all the cubs they're back for their vacation from walking all over the place and getting into necessary fights.

So yeah, if they're lazy, it's because they've been working.

[–]bw1870 2 points3 points ago

You're a lion aren't you?

[–]MrBullyGoat 2 points3 points ago

They keep up their strength so when other Male lion attempt to kill them and their kids, they will be able to fight.

[–]chokladkaka 0 points1 point ago

wow, nice pic :)

[–]happymon 0 points1 point ago

imagine how much food the females must have to hunt.

[–]lumpofcole 1 point2 points ago

Yep. Yep. Yup. Ye-ep. Yep. Mhm.

[–]RabidMuskrat93 0 points1 point ago

Reminds me of the "you're in the wrong neighborhood motherfucker" picture with all the cats :p

[–]darklab 0 points1 point ago

Thats amazing

[–]gringobachatero 0 points1 point ago

The icon looks like six guys squatting all taking shits at once.

[–]FlippingKids 0 points1 point ago

[–]CoyoteStark -1 points0 points ago

Talk about a gay pride parade.

Bro'in out at its finest

[–]bw1870 -1 points0 points ago

This pic is grrrrrrr-eat!

[–]hozjo 1 point2 points ago

I assume once in a lifetime since out of nowhere the photographer was soon killed by 6 male lions.

[–]jdhovland 0 points1 point ago

It was a meeting of the veldt families. Seems they were tired of the two-leggers moving in on their game. I can't say what the plan is, only that shit is going to go down, you don't fuck with the proud families.

[–]KrazyEyezKilla 0 points1 point ago

'yo dawg, you better keep walking, this is our hood'

[–]Luminaire 0 points1 point ago

Most of these types of shots are set up with trained animals.

[–]krazay -1 points0 points ago

Aesthetic cunts!

[–]shel_beas 0 points1 point ago

Just fucking try. Better cover up that papercut.

[–]slowitdown -1 points0 points ago

Sausage fest.

[–]jocey 0 points1 point ago

Gay Pride (:

[–]LastAXEL 1 point2 points ago

So how did this happen exactly? My limited knowledge of lions tells me that this is probably fairly rare for all these relatively old males to be chillin together like that. Am I correct or no?

[–]psychroclasm 0 points1 point ago

I like to imagine these lions at a mall, pointing out girls to one another.

[–]QWERTY_REVEALED 0 points1 point ago

Amazing shot.

[–]squeeze-the-juice 0 points1 point ago

Third from left, first on right know what's up.

[–]liahmruest 0 points1 point ago

bachelor party? i think so!

[–]wurtis16 0 points1 point ago

Faaaaaags!!!

[–]scissorslizardspock 0 points1 point ago

Once in a lifetime, because the photographer was eaten immediately after.

[–]AliasBr1 0 points1 point ago

I don't mean to sound racist, but they all look the same.

[–]sweatyballs27 -1 points0 points ago

WOW you got more than one pokemon in the same shot! That's double points! This shot is impeccable!

[–]spenser3541 -1 points0 points ago

Aren't all pictures technically once in a lifetime? What makes this one worth fucking mentioning.

[–]Brumeh -1 points0 points ago

Just Lion around when suddenly... FOOD
