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.

looks more like Gus Fring

[–]PirateLordBush 12 points13 points ago

DING DING DING DING DING

[–]Krellyn 0 points1 point ago

Oh God, that is amazing.

[–]WobbleWade 2 points3 points ago

I kinda thought it looked more like this guy.

[–]mstruelo 0 points1 point ago

Delusional much?

[–]CodeOfKonami -1 points0 points ago

Gus Fring was from Chile, you dumbass.

It takes someone with a racist mind to find racism in a situation where there is none.

[–]luke95836 47 points48 points ago

WHY IS EVERYONE ELSE SO DAM GOOD AT THINGS?!?!

[–]Rohan21166 14 points15 points ago

Yeah! Making us look bad!

People who aren't epic at doing things unite!

[–]reagan2016 9 points10 points ago

Uniting will be something else that we're not good at.

[–]Dymodeus 1 point2 points ago

Well, I tagged you as 'hawk', so you have to be good at some things

[–]bolaxao 0 points1 point ago

I'm good at buying things. But I can control my self! I only bought Counter Strike GO today! That is it!

[–]Emrikkaljo 1 point2 points ago

MAKE A TRIANGLE, MEN!

[–]LilGriff 2 points3 points ago

Beat the hell out of particle man

[–]kayakin3d 2 points3 points ago

Because we reddit all damn day.

[–]JohnAbruzzi 1 point2 points ago

All this internet craze about 3D printers and now we see a possible use infront of us, it is ignored?

[–]SandRider 0 points1 point ago

I dunno...looks more like Mandela to me

[–]SubZero_Karma0124 29 points30 points ago

Do you know why they couldn't carve George W. Bush in a pencil? He's white.

[–]irrelevantpersonage 9 points10 points ago

Bush and Obama are very similar. Both are half white. Obama's other half is black, and Bush's other half is white

[–]enjoyingtheride 1 point2 points ago

Bada bing!

[–]Joke_Flew_Over_Head 9 points10 points ago

I doubt that's why. You actually could, theoretically, carve a white man's likeness into the point of a pencil if you had the proper tools.

[–]vijrox 2 points3 points ago

Woooooooooosh

[–]n0la 12 points13 points ago

write on

[–]shampwn 5 points6 points ago

is it just me or is that point really wide at the top

[–]arisasdf 1 point2 points ago

Well probably (s)he started with the unsharpened pencil, and then carved the point shape.

[–]zuizide 4 points5 points ago

Looks more like Bill Cosby and Mr. Magoo combined.

[–]ShamAbram 0 points1 point ago

I totally see the Bill Cosby. The old person lip is strong in this one.

[–]sdmfyc 0 points1 point ago

If you say so...

[–]pingspike 0 points1 point ago

That looks so good, I'd graphite you for it.

[–][deleted] ago

[–]fe3o4 2 points3 points ago

it's got an afro, and you know they all look alike.

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]fe3o4 0 points1 point ago

Lol that's not an afro

I didn't want to call it pubic hair.

[–]Sonic1515 1 point2 points ago

I call shenanigans

[–]notbob1959 0 points1 point ago

I thought so too, but it looks like it is real.

[–]CakeBau5 3 points4 points ago

The perfect tool to scribble all over the constitution with

[–]dayb4august 1 point2 points ago

I think we can write him off

[–]aspiringmermaid 0 points1 point ago

I admire the skill/talent/time it took to create this. I also find the eyes really, really creepy.

[–]pheobo 0 points1 point ago

Kind of looks like George Washington Carver to me.

[–]eggman198 0 points1 point ago

How do we know this is Obama and not just a generic black guy?

[–]chuperamigo 0 points1 point ago

Cocaine is a helluva drug!

[–]smellybigfoot 0 points1 point ago

His eyes!! My god his eyes!!!

[–]WasteOfFrog 0 points1 point ago

That looks like a cross between Obama and James Carville

[–]TenaciousTee 1 point2 points ago

[–]lebowskisweater 0 points1 point ago

Something something black people.

[–]sammwwise 0 points1 point ago

It would have been glorious if this was what Gadaffi had shoved up his ass.

[–]velada420 0 points1 point ago

So is there like a special sharpener that does that, or did you buy the pencil that way?

[–]Hum0nice0drum 0 points1 point ago

Whenever I see things like this, I think, "Nice try. That's just a big pencil." It sucks being a skeptic...

[–]ConOnDaCob 0 points1 point ago

Obusha

[–]jetpacktuxedo 1 point2 points ago

Obama is a pretty sharp guy.

[–]themarcu5 0 points1 point ago

My exact thoughts (in order): a) Why the hell??? b) How in the hell??? c) what the fuck???

[–]PrincessVagina 0 points1 point ago

IMPOSSIBRU!!!!!

[–]Telsak 0 points1 point ago

If the title hadn't said the name I would not have made the connection to Obama, sorry.

[–]Forgot_Your_Password 0 points1 point ago

"Hey can I borrow your pencil?" grabs pencil NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

[–]mllestrong[!] 0 points1 point ago

Don't write him off.

[–]fe3o4 -1 points0 points ago

and that's exactly where he belongs....

[–]tsilb 1 point2 points ago

It would seem he has a point.

[–]pieman580 0 points1 point ago

Damn, I was hoping to be the first one to point that out.

[–]Wazowski 0 points1 point ago

The eyes have a real "Event Horizon" quality to them.

Where we're going... we don't need eyes to see!

[–]bronxbrothers 0 points1 point ago

Hope that pencil has an eraser too.

[–]Battle4Seattle 0 points1 point ago

Our #1 carved from a #2.

[–]I_STAB_HIPSTER_FILTH -1 points0 points ago

maybe now he can write a bill worth something...

[–]d_spaceley1 0 points1 point ago

I get it : Hes Black

[–]papakdesign -1 points0 points ago

what a waste of a pencil..

[–]Janimarkus -1 points0 points ago

fake and gay

[–]gay_and_fake 0 points1 point ago

Yes?

[–]Boomer84[S] 0 points1 point ago

real and who cares

[–]inane_jazz_musician 1 point2 points ago

Holy Crap! He's black?

[–]TheFlamingGit 0 points1 point ago

Upboat for you!

[–]MoNkEyxJOSHH 0 points1 point ago

This will definitely change your drawings.

[–]AMatWas 0 points1 point ago

r/politics ?

[–]Coloredditor -1 points0 points ago

Just as useless yet interesting as he himself.

[–]Java_Beans 0 points1 point ago

Well, that's sharp.

[–]rkenward -1 points0 points ago

This Obama's mistakes can be erased at least.

[–]Snapdude9 0 points1 point ago

I don't see the point...

[–]IDontCareAboutUpvote 0 points1 point ago

[–]mstruelo 0 points1 point ago

I can not even imagine how much time and patience that must have taken.

[–]ShitOnYourMom 0 points1 point ago

Cosby carved out of the point of a pencil.

[–]ghavo 0 points1 point ago

But you didn't make that yourself...

[–]goldenrod 0 points1 point ago

Um I don't think this is the average #2 pencil we're looking at. Probably one of those larger over sized pencils you get at drafting stores. Or it's a zbrush sculpt pretending to be legit.

[–]Boomer84[S] 0 points1 point ago

You can see the artist carving them here

[–]GrahamKnightly 0 points1 point ago

NO NOT THE BEES! AAAAH MY EYES

[–]nickkaa1 0 points1 point ago

now put it in the pencil sharpener =]

[–]StrategicSitting 0 points1 point ago

When did this become a thing? I like it.

[–]sethky -1 points0 points ago

That's not Obama. It's some muslim guy from Kenya.

[–]SubZero_Karma0124 0 points1 point ago

Why can't it be both?

[–]Leopoldv -4 points-3 points ago

someone has way too much time.. :)

[–]RepostThatShit 9 points10 points ago

Making an amazing sculpture/carving is an infinitely smarter expenditure of time than commenting on Reddit.

[–]StewieBanana -1 points0 points ago

No it isn't because that's not possible. Stuuuuuuuuupid!

[–]win32ce -1 points0 points ago

Ideal for crossing out amendments to the Constitution!

[–]win32ce -1 points0 points ago

Sorry that is way too troll-y for me. Someone with more troll cred is welcome to steal this line from me.
