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.

I actually did that today, this guy was in line at the uni shop with a paper and the lady was taking ages with another customer even though everyone has tutorials to go to. Anyway he left without the paper so I bought it and looked for him but I went back to the shop like an hour later and I thought it was him so I asked if he was the same guy and he said "yeah did you get through" and I said yes and handed him the paper. Only a small deed but he was shocked and happy so my work is done.

One time I was driving home from the store and I saw an old lady with her young daughter struggling to push a heavy grocery cart uphill. I looked over, and thought gosh, that sucks.. I normally don't go drive up to people I don't know, but I figured if I was in the same position that I would want the help too. I made a U turn and pulled up right next to her and rolled down the window. I looked at the older lady and asked "do you need a lift?" She looked at me as if she didn't understand me! It's because she didn't, she only spoke Spanish, The little girl looks to her mom and says something as if she was interpreting what I said. The old lady looks at me and nods her head and starts pointing saying "close, very close!" We put all the groceries in my car, they jump in the back seat and I drove for about two minutes and then the little girl tells me to turn left. We pulled into the house and I helped take the groceries out. Simply smiled and drove away! It was a strange feeling that came over me after that. I debated on if I should even tell anyone about it. I just hope that one of those two return a kind favor someday to someone else!
