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.

No, NOT Swag

[–]deltarob 5 points6 points ago

Swag: Free or stolen items.

STOP USING THAT WORD WRONG.

It's abbreviated because of the internet and ease of twittering. I don't agree with it, but those are the facts.

[–]Jeffro1265 2 points3 points ago

Don't want to miss that next segment on NPR!

[–]cat55 1 point2 points ago

I bet he is listening to Black Sabath or The Grateful Dead!!

[–]SpecialK800 1 point2 points ago

Ouch. That you associate Black Sabbath and The Grateful Dead with such an old man. Right in my overworked and under-protected age bladder

[–]wordisborn 0 points1 point ago

Edit: GRATEful Dead. Show some respect.

[–]gaedikus 4 points5 points ago

i swear to God I'm going to pistol whip the next person who says "SWAG"

Is this the airport in Amsterdam?

[–]2abyssinians 0 points1 point ago

I think that is my dad.

[–]halfkidding 0 points1 point ago

Back at the table he has his briefcase of cassettes. Or maybe he's playing in risky and listening to the radio. This guy is so mysterious.

[–]ffsshhgrgl 1 point2 points ago

My initial reaction? I hope his grandchildren see this picture and just buy him an Ipod to make his life easier.

My second thought? Goddamn do I miss Golden Corral

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

grandmother has the same radio.....well she had one, until I bought her an ipod. sad, that this is allowed to happen in a first world nation.

[–]omgihateredditsomuch 1 point2 points ago

Not sure how this is at all swag. Shut the fuck up.

[–]nextwiggin4 0 points1 point ago

I like how we all assume this man is making this choice because, out of ignorance due to old age, he doesn't know better.

But maybe he does know better, maybe he'd rather have a small music player. Maybe he had an old one but it broke, so in order to save a few bucks he decided to slum it with the old school boombox. Maybe he can't afford the new gadget and is too proud to ask his children for handouts. Maybe he doesn't have children and listening to the radio is some of the best interaction he gets all day. Maybe we're being amused by an old man who, near the end of his life, is embarrassed to walk around with this out of touch music option. Maybe he has to swallow his insecurities and just listen to the music he loves, because it's better then dealing with the dick that snapping a picture of him from ten feet away.

but then again, old people are funny to laugh at.

[–]werepat 0 points1 point ago

Yeah! Buffet Style restaurants kick butt! I love Souplantation! I just went there for the first time this weekend. We ended up going on Sunday and again on Monday! That place rocks!

[–]happy_sarcasm 0 points1 point ago

awesome.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points ago

I see this fool all over UCLA. What a weird fucker. Just get a damn ipod.

[–]badpost69 0 points1 point ago

please don't ever say swag

[–]erkose 0 points1 point ago

Must be Utah, that skirts a little long.

[–]habadacas 0 points1 point ago

I am sorry, you said referenced swag in a seemingly positive manner, you must be down voted.

[–]misterfanwank 0 points1 point ago

Is this a thing here now, Reddit? Have we decided to accept swag? Really?

[–]knuckboy 0 points1 point ago

Where are the goddamn repost police?

[–]mimurph1 1 point2 points ago

pierce?

[–]DankBeard 1 point2 points ago

Swag is the dumbest fucking thing I've ever heard. Please don't sell yourself this short.

[–]teejaydub 0 points1 point ago

 - DankBeard

[–]DankBeard 0 points1 point ago

Can I help you?? Dank is a term applied to the quality of weed, not to everything I think is "swag". It actually has a purpose!!

[–]teejaydub 0 points1 point ago

Swag is the dumbest fucking thing I've ever heard. Please don't sell yourself this short.

Says the guy named DankBeard, was my point.

[–]DankBeard 0 points1 point ago

Its a moniker for a forum, not a word we use daily to vaguely describe things. Its not much of a point, to be honest. Do I need to have a more professional user name to point out how stupid the word 'swag' is?

[–]teejaydub 0 points1 point ago

You seem to be taking this far more serious than I intended. I think your name is hilarious, and I agree that the usage of "swag" is mindless teenage drivel. I suppose let's just leave it at that. I apologize if I somehow offended you, Mr. DankBeard.

[–]DankBeard 0 points1 point ago

You didn't offend me, but it just didn't apply to anything. Swag is stupid regardless of my meaningless user name.

[–]Tatchy -2 points-1 points ago

Old school is the best!!!
