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:

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.

[–]alexxerth 150 points151 points ago

Actually, a study has shown that many wild animals, ranging from stray dogs to raccoons, have learned how to use the underground, or metro, or subways in many major cities. They know how to get on safely, which stop to get off at, and everything.

[–]nlderek 73 points74 points ago

Video about stray dogs that learn the subway in Moscow can be watched here

[–]NotSureIfNameTakenOr 40 points41 points ago

What the hell, I thought that guy was joking.

[–]zyedy 7 points8 points ago

I saw the stray dog video a while ago and I couldn't believe it either. It turns out Moscow has a commuting dog population of several hundred, most of which live in the "badlands" outside the city, and "commute" into the center where all the people are to beg for food. Fascinating.

[–]alexxerth 31 points32 points ago

Could I be any less sarcastic?

[–]Psirix 10 points11 points ago

It's reddit. I assume everyone is sarcastic.

[–]nooknstuff 5 points6 points ago

Also sarcasm tends not to translate well to text.

[–]louky 12 points13 points ago

That guy is getting a PhD in moscow subway dogs.

[–]idiotdidntdoit 2 points3 points ago

that was very very informative. I can't believe that the dogs actually learned to wait for the green light before crossing the streets. Crazy.

[–]nlderek 0 points1 point ago

That was the most surprising thing about that video for me. Especially since the dogs would wait for the green even in the middle of the night. I thought dogs were colorblind...or perhaps they know the position of the light (or even perhaps there are tones for blind people at the intersection and they hear those?)

[–]Xveers 0 points1 point ago

Another possibility is that they've got some level of pattern identification going. Top light is bright, so no traffic going that way, or vice versa.

[–]specialk16 1 point2 points ago

[–]craylor 7 points8 points ago

This is so weird! I was just in London a month ago and my brother, friends, and I were shit faced drunk. Anyways, we were walking near the underground and we saw an animal chasing a rat. We were like, "WTF is that?" It wasn't a cat, and it definitely wasn't a dog. My brother suggested it was a fox, but we all said, "there is no way a fox would be around here."

You just settled it. Thanks.

[–]bunnymeee 16 points17 points ago

Foxes in the UK are sorta like raccoons in the US.

They are almost everywhere and they root through your garbage at night.

[–]cattreeinyoursoul 2 points3 points ago

We saw a fox in Dublin sleeping in a garden as we were walking along.

I think you don't see how many raccoons there are in the US because they only come out at night.

[–]_Choppy 1 point2 points ago

More precisely, at 3 in the morning: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mG0odWIW3BE

[–]wolvmatt[!] 1 point2 points ago

The US is way too large and diverse for that to be a good analogy. I have never seen a raccoon in my life; however, I see a fox almost every week.

[–]shipman 6 points7 points ago

I have never seen a fox in my life; however, I see a velociraptor almost every week.

That's amazing! Look at how clean that subway car is!

[–]cattreeinyoursoul 2 points3 points ago

That's because it's London. It smells clean down there, too. Not like New York or Paris.

[–]thisnotanagram 0 points1 point ago

they pay ten people to clean it. that one car

[–]Pixelated_Penguin 2 points3 points ago

Reminds me of a fox I saw one evening on my way home in Birmingham, UK.

It looked both ways before running across the street.

That was in 1996. At this rate, they'll have their own monorail system by 2050.

[–]TheKibstar 2 points3 points ago

Lone wolf.

[–]Hristix 0 points1 point ago

Ahh, the joke is on you guys. One of the hallmarks of rabies in foxes is that they lose fear of humans and actually become..well..not necessarily friendly but they don't run at first sight. Think of a domesticated dog. Most domesticated dogs you could probably get to come up to you with some coaxing and pet them a bit before they lost interest and left (or you left).

This manifests itself as an entire extra early stage of the rabies infection. Foxes are overwhelmingly secretive in the forest, I can count on one hand the number of time I've seen them and I'm an avid hiker and like to go for drives out in the country. There's no way in hell a healthy fox is going to go on a subway.

[–]makegoboom 0 points1 point ago

Run and tell that! I have a friend who once was bitten by a rabid fox. That's no fun.

I want to know where you found a tube carriage so empty...

[–]Dented 0 points1 point ago

You never pick the empty carriage..ever, because that carriage is the a) puke carriage b) homeless carriage or c) if you're really lucky, the one where a homeless person took a dump.

[–]BeatlesForSale 0 points1 point ago

Luckily I've never seen anything worse than a homeless person on a tube carriage.

[–]sporkanator 5 points6 points ago

It's the circle line in London

[–]sihnon 2 points3 points ago

Actually it could be the District line. The Wimbledon-Edgware Road branch of the District line uses the Yellow-bar trains as well.

[–]Dented 2 points3 points ago

Mighty distressing when getting home very very late/early in the morning.

[–]sihnon 2 points3 points ago

Worse still if you accidentally get on one, find yourself in Wimbledon, then in an attempt to get back you accidentally get on a City Via Victoria Line train (also using the yellow bars) instead of the District line you arrived on. It'll be fine until you hit Earl's Court, but then you're probably going to get very confused. Ah to be a Londoner..

Foxes are supposed to be in tunnels underground. It's unnatural for humans to travel place to place in underground tunnels. Bipeds and tunnels don't go together. She's just reclaiming her territory.
