For an image subreddit with fewer restrictions, check out /r/misc!

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.

  6. No animated images. Please submit them to /r/gif, /r/gifs, or /r/reactiongifs instead.

  • 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.

Oh I intend to. I'm surprised that several people here recognized the comic, considering it came out almost 15 years ago.

[–]mrmadwolf92 0 points1 point ago

It just got posted to /r/yiff the other day, so that may be why some others on reddit recognize it.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points ago

I don't see a filter. I see a high grain in the original photo, which is from the low light and high ISO used. It's still in this photo, but it's less noticeable because of the compression.

[–]frenchtoasted15 7 points8 points ago

AVATAR

no idea why....but it just does

[–]Cheese_dick_McGee 3 points4 points ago

i would think the blue light and hints of purple and green along with the feline facial features of Neytiri would conjure that up for ya. I know because it did for me

[–]Variable12 1 point2 points ago

That is the first thing I thought of as well. Particularly the early scene of Jake and Neytiri running through the bioluminescent forest.

I've always had more of a preference for dogs, but I've been thinking that I need to get a cat. For the karma

[–]kayliecake 1 point2 points ago

I spy a cat.

[–]jolemite 3 points4 points ago

Confirmed. I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few cats in my time.

[–]SC2aNDRoM 2 points3 points ago

I just saw the /r/SlimeGirls [nsfw] pics in Bus Office thread, and I was very afraid of this thumbnail...

For some reason I read that as mewtiful.

[–]peachykaren 1 point2 points ago

She walks in beauty, like the night

Of cloudless climes and starry skies;

And all that's best of dark and bright

Meet in her aspect and her eyes:

Thus mellow'd to that tender light

Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

--Lord Byron, 1814

[–]cocobabbs 5 points6 points ago

Reddit. The only place a photo of a cat would be referred to as "mesmerizingly beautiful."

[–]completelydistracted -2 points-1 points ago

Agreed. I was reading "mesmerizingly beautiful" and two seconds later thinking, hey, I am not mesmerized at all.

I was thinking, maybe something like this: http://vimeo.com/16198274 or this: http://vimeo.com/29950141

But cats, no, I have too much personal experience with them to be mesmerized. And this particular cat is going to play hell with those lights, sooner or later.

So, yeah, agreed.

[–]AntonBoo 3 points4 points ago

Person who took it should pursue photography

[–]Eustis 3 points4 points ago

Reminds me a lot of the trailer for Tron: Legacy. Particularly the part where old Kevin Flynn looks at the camera from a head-down position. Anyone know what I'm talking about, or am I just rambling?

[–]psnotsure 0 points1 point ago

If this kitten were a consenting young lady, I'd be okay with having vigorous sex with her.

[–]afeller 0 points1 point ago

The way those lights reflect in her/his eyes is just beautiful.

[–]condimentia 1 point2 points ago

New to me, and beautiful. Thank you!

[–]Badger_Storm 4 points5 points ago

I'm a 28 year old male and I have such fond memories of Christmas and still enjoy when it comes around each year. What is wrong with me?

[–]Hybridfusion 24 points25 points ago

You might be retarded.

P.S. - Damn near everyone loves Christmas and looks back on it fondly.

[–]Badger_Storm 2 points3 points ago

People become depressed, suicide rates are higher. I don't think damn near everyone loves it, I really don't.

[–]passive_fist 7 points8 points ago

I'm someone who still loves christmas so this is mostly speculation, but I think it might be that christmas always brings back memories, for everyone, and people with broken pasts, or with good pasts but with people that they've now alienated, or lost, would be much more likely to have that all to come flooding back into their mind and crashing down on them emotionally and finally have it become too much for them to handle.

[–]dan2737 0 points1 point ago

I think it might be that christmas always brings back memories

I always thought this too, especially with all the christmas themed decorations and lights people hang everywhere, in addition to all the christmas songs that are played every time, it just brings back memories of either your worst or best christmas.

[–]mattlphoto 2 points3 points ago

Might correlate with the percentage of people who have to work with the general public during holidays. Retail jobs will suck the jingle bells out of your soul.

[–]syscofresh 0 points1 point ago

Suicide rates don't actually get higher. It's an urban myth.

[–]guinnythemox 2 points3 points ago

I have to give reddit credit for its ability to keep posting the same pictures over and over again and still accept repetitiveness because somebody says, "This is still my favorite" or "This gets me every time".

THIS is what you call mesmerizingly beautiful?

It's a fucking cat with Christmas lights on it. A fucking monkey could have taken this picture. I genuinely hope this cat got hit by a car shortly after the picture was taken, because cats are annoying and self centered.
