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.

Whoa! He is back? That guy is the most supreme of badasses.

[–]SerJamers 0 points1 point ago

This man he is the balls

[–]departedbasterd[S] 10 points11 points ago

[–]BouquetofDicks 2 points3 points ago

So he didn't quit because it was too hard on his body! TIL. Thanks for this OP.

[–]anonsequitur 10 points11 points ago

I want this man on my team during the zombie apocolypse.

[–]xxtzimiscexx 2 points3 points ago

Sign me up.

[–]rrrobot 0 points1 point ago

In other words, you're OK with Les Stroud being the man that shoots your brain out once you've turned into a zombie.

[–]blue_sandhill 6 points7 points ago

please excuse my girlish squeal. ahem EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

[–]G-Rob 18 points19 points ago

Legend. Bear aint got nothing on this guy... What are the air dates for new episodes?

[–]G-Rob 8 points9 points ago

Just so that everyone knows, I answered the question with the help of departedbasterd. Thank you kind sir.

"Les Stroud will return as Survivorman on Sunday August 19, at 8 p.m. Eastern."

[–]hangtenn 2 points3 points ago

better than that, Les Stroud will be at a local knife store on August 25. I will do all I can to post a "look who I met today".

[–]mtldude1967 2 points3 points ago

Bear's resume is pretty badass. It's his show that sucked, especially compared to Survivorman.

[–]PeaveyWG -3 points-2 points ago

Bear is 100000000000x more accomplished then this guy. Bear Grylls > all

[–]kmreid 2 points3 points ago

When I was pregnant with my son, I seriously considered naming him Les. Yeah, Les Stroud is that awesome!

[–]kingofthemonteforces 0 points1 point ago

hell yeah!!!!

[–]ben_13 2 points3 points ago

This is different than the "Survivorman 10 days" I'm currently watching here in Canada http://www.oln.ca/details.php?id=38 , seems US dates to follow or it may have started just recently.

Very good, from my understanding its 1 special where he is spending 10 days at one location.

Just putting this out there in case anyone hadn't heard of it as well.

[–]ben_13 1 point2 points ago

not sure , I think OP link is a new series or a return to the survivorman series but this one (SM10) is a "special" 5-10 episodes. Not too many announcements about it, maybe should as Les on twitter.

[–]bimmercire 2 points3 points ago

This guy is 100x better than bear Grylls. He actually "survives" on his own, sets up his own camera, and is actually awesome. No dramatic scenes like Bear Grylls who "attempts" to make things worse than it should be.

[–]NiceGuyUncle 0 points1 point ago

Why does it matter, yes Les does stuff more efficiently and what you'd probably do in a real survival situation but Bear did the extremes. I mean who the fuck is going to give themselves an enema using water with bird shit in it? No one, absolutely no one. I mean i do enjoy survivorman more because i can eat while watching his show but both are enjoyable as long as you dont take man vs. wild too seriously.

[–]atlacatl 0 points1 point ago

I'm disappoint. No mention of drinking piss.

[–]NiceGuyUncle 0 points1 point ago

Sorry, I just assumed everyone drank their own piss so I didn't bring it up.

[–]dropkickninja 3 points4 points ago

Hell yeah. Les is awesome.

[–]FalloutJoe 3 points4 points ago

Dudes his own camera crew... shits legits.

[–]keroro117 1 point2 points ago

well. This just made my day.

[–]EverExpanding 0 points1 point ago

When he eats that ostrich egg it is one of the most hilarious reactions to food on his show.

[–]requires_distraction 1 point2 points ago

Damn, thought it was Karl Pilkington from the icon.

[–]Quarkitude 1 point2 points ago

In the meantime, seasons 1-3 are on Netflix

[–]spiders_wrath 0 points1 point ago

Yet another reason why American Netflix is way cooler than Canadian Netflix.

[–]k4el 1 point2 points ago

If you're making this up it'll break my heart and kill me.

[–]jpatton89 0 points1 point ago

At first, I thought that was Jorah Mormont from Game of Thrones.

[–]Its_Frosty 0 points1 point ago

10 days of survival now instead of 7?! SCORE.

[–]AllEncompassingThey 1 point2 points ago

Words cannot express how excited I am for this!!!

[–]serpix 0 points1 point ago

After getting divorced and moving to a new flat I remember lying on the bed and watching a full season of Survivorman. Among other things it gave me a lot of manly support to see a grown man contemplate the realities of life out in the wilderness.

[–]vip3rxxx7 0 points1 point ago

Awesome!! Thanks for the heads up. Discovery better put it up on the web though since I cut cable...

[–]JoeyisSpiderman 0 points1 point ago

Oh yes! I love watching Les Shroud!

[–]unknownkoger 0 points1 point ago

fricken sweet. can't wait for this. also, this quote got me even more intrigued:

More so than the heatstroke in the Kalahari. That moment on the mountain in Norway was absolutely my lowest time on Survivorman.

The Kalahari episode where he's on the verge of heatstroke is intense. I can't even imagine what this will be like

[–]Linda1449 0 points1 point ago

I've seen him screw up once or twice.

[–]Inshallowseaswesail 7 points8 points ago

But thats why we love it! His every success and failure are all caught on camera and displayed in front of us.

[–]magicalbong 2 points3 points ago

yeah it's too bad each episode is only an hour long. I'd love to see all the other shit he does in the week he's out there

[–]spiders_wrath 0 points1 point ago

You're in luck then. For the new season he's out there for 10 days instead of 7 and each scenario is split up into 2 hour long episodes. Already seen the first 2 episodes and I can say its solid Survivorman all the way!

[–]magicalbong 1 point2 points ago

that is so good to hear! Les Stroud is seriously my hero. If there was any celebrity I would want to meet it would be him. If you could call him a celebrity. Where did you watch them? I would LOVE to see them

[–]spiders_wrath 0 points1 point ago

The new episodes aired on Outdoor Life Network in Canada already. Sounds like they should be airing soon on the Discovery channel in the US soon too. I would seriously like to meet Les too. He's the one tv personality I really want to meet. Sadly, he never seems to come to the west coast and I've got no way to head east to see him there. One of these days...

[–]zamoth 0 points1 point ago

Damn, I was hoping for more Beyond Survival. Oh well, this is the next best thing.

[–]the-driver -3 points-2 points ago

I love to watch the show...

And then proceed to make fun of him.

Edit: Let's beat the "Bear Grylls v. Les Stroud" horse some more. Oh, by the way, the horse is fucking dead.
