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.

I'll be impressed when I see a CD made of broken hummingbirds

[–]farewelltokings2 7 points8 points ago

When OP says broken, what he really means is painstakingly and purposely cut CDs.

[–]TheActor 6 points7 points ago

What goes around comes back around.

[–]Watermelon_Man 13 points14 points ago

That's generally how disc based media works...

[–]MoonRazer 0 points1 point ago

That took me a second...well played

[–]Watermelon_Man 2 points3 points ago

Sadly r/airsoft nullified my up votes. Note to all. Do not talk about paintball in r/airsoft.

[–]MoonRazer 2 points3 points ago

You had to know that'd be dangerous...I don't go to a christian church talking about the Islamic faith...anymore.

[–]33ThatOneGirl33 -2 points-1 points ago

lol

[–]RED_INSULATOR -4 points-3 points ago

I'll be impressed when you finally get laid. Oh wait.

[–]RainbowBrushie 14 points15 points ago

6 months ago and only posted once? I think that is an appropriate length of time.

[–]MoonRazer 2 points3 points ago

Agreed, that's easily long enough for a repost. Glad I got to see it this time around!

[–]melonbaby 12 points13 points ago

I recall this being done to make a dragon.

[–]melonbaby 14 points15 points ago

here's the link: http://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/vb084/a_dragon_sculpture_i_made_out_of_cd_shards/

[–]MoonRazer 0 points1 point ago

Man, it's stuff like this. How do people do this?!

[–]melonbaby 1 point2 points ago

With skills and butt-loads of spare time, I imagine.

[–]MoonRazer 1 point2 points ago

It's the "skills" part I'm focusing on here. If I got off reddit, I'd have plenty of spare time!

[–]I-hate-reposts 33 points34 points ago

Yea... and we have seen it already...

[–]Rountree85 6 points7 points ago

I haven't, and I've been a registered user longer than you have.

[–]I-hate-reposts 6 points7 points ago

You may understand, reading my username that this account was not created when i joined reddit... but a long long time after that.

and even if what you say is true, that makes the crime even worse since its a repost from a less distant time, in that case.

[–]Rountree85 2 points3 points ago

Fair enough.

[–]IrrigatedPancake -2 points-1 points ago

I think I safely trump you.

[–]Rountree85 -1 points0 points ago

Ok. Look at my karma. Fuck off.

[–]IrrigatedPancake 0 points1 point ago

Are you making a joke?

[–]netraven5000 1 point2 points ago

How many hours of free dialup is that?

[–]Jackpot807 0 points1 point ago

I guess Redditors have some memory.

[–]Asassinsneed 1 point2 points ago

Every comment in here:

"This is a repost so give ME karma for pointing it out!"

[–]8opus 5 points6 points ago

Imagine how many cuts you would get from something like this...

[–]ilovetpb 0 points1 point ago

That's MY thought...dude certainly earns his money in blood, if you ask me.

[–]Orresnei 4 points5 points ago

While this might be a repost, I am very happy to see it again. That hummingbird is one great piece of art. I really like how the artist have been able to combine CD-pieces with different colors to make this colorful bird. Image downloaded

[–]tdn 2 points3 points ago

Somebody needs to film the making process of one of these.

[–]MoonRazer 1 point2 points ago

It would be ridiculously long, but SO worth it.

[–]The10Horse 1 point2 points ago

this wasn't made from broken cd's, this was made from meticulously cut cd's.

[–]uipo 1 point2 points ago

[–]Vonnegutsman 1 point2 points ago

This looks like an awesome use for AOL discs. I think having one of this might be great for keeping hummingbirds away.

[–]Geordielass 0 points1 point ago

I want one.

[–]nonatal 1 point2 points ago

More from the same artist, I believe: http://seanavery.deviantart.com

[–]dire123 1 point2 points ago

More of these great art works here: http://lolgalore.com/lol-14-sean-avery-cd-splinter-sculptures

[–]rmgreddit 0 points1 point ago

Also can be reassembled for infinite hours of AOL!

[–]PVTCaboose1337 1 point2 points ago

I love art made from broken CDs, but what the artist fails to realize is, someday, in the coming future, AOL CDs will be quite valuable antiques.

[–]noctrnalsymphony 0 points1 point ago

I swear they're gonna make that into a pokemon soon.

[–]Caantthink1 0 points1 point ago

that's insannnneeee

[–]OscarWhisky 0 points1 point ago

In the Blu-ray.

[–]JarlaxleForPresident 0 points1 point ago

i wish i was good at the creativity thing. never excelled at art or music.

[–]tekashr -1 points0 points ago

very cool

[–]FreeK200 1 point2 points ago

Shorten the beak, and you essentially have Anivia from League of Legends. Beautiful artwork nonetheless.

[–]spidysweb87 0 points1 point ago

Why cooler than that Sonic CD I made!

[–]dlsspy 0 points1 point ago

CDs are old-school. Let's see you make one out of broken mp3s.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

You can tell some of them are DVDs from the purplish hue of some of the discs

[–]imsohighondrugs 0 points1 point ago

Hopefully nickleback

[–]m0rphling 0 points1 point ago

...and DVDs assuming they account for the purple-colored elements.

[–]NumerousUsernames 1 point2 points ago

My life is made of broken dreams.

[–]finkandr 0 points1 point ago

I live on the boulevard of broken dreams.

[–]Victomorga 1 point2 points ago

this is a digital drawing, not a photo.

[–]agitatedshovel 0 points1 point ago

First the dragon, now this. Why are people so much better at life than me?

[–]Horsehumper 0 points1 point ago

I'll have trouble fitting that in the CD slot.

[–]elmarko44 0 points1 point ago

RELEVANT

[–]WobblyGears 0 points1 point ago

Number four on the list of things I would want up my ass least.

[–]MJA94 0 points1 point ago

Meh. I liked the dragon more.

[–]Mrlala2 -1 points0 points ago

Re-fucking-post

[–]LeTrollSprewell 0 points1 point ago

Broken AOL CDs*

[–]legthief 0 points1 point ago

This was made from stolen CDs.

[–]Swagsaurus -1 points0 points ago

Not again

[–]MugatusDog 1 point2 points ago

That's not a dragon

[–]labachj -1 points0 points ago

Yeah, I remember when the creator posted this...6 months ago.

[–]big_tuna2 -2 points-1 points ago

What are CDs lol?

[–]SteelGun 2 points3 points ago

Certificates of Deposit! You can get them at the bank!!!

[–]chica7 -1 points0 points ago

ahhh, yet another repost

[–]monkeywithamandolin -1 points0 points ago

everywhere

[–]SwggrBck -4 points-3 points ago

Can we stop with the broken cd's now?

[–]comicvinesss -3 points-2 points ago

Its a great work and have spend a nice time for this to get done. I give you up for sure, you done great job!
