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.

[–]ChinatownDragon 107 points108 points ago

Did you recognize that particular explosion and went to find it? Amazing.

[–]I_love_dunkaroos 29 points30 points ago

We just google image searched 'explosion' and it was the highest resolution result we found.

[–]Superchair14 2 points3 points ago

Dunkaroos are the best! But I can never find them any more...

[–]rammsdell 2 points3 points ago

I did actually, I've used the same image myself several times.

[–]redaa 65 points66 points ago

Is that stock footage of an explosion to use in any situation? If so, nice.

[–]ophello 69 points70 points ago

It's a picture of an explosion. It is not footage.

[–]BaerToasts 49 points50 points ago

Why is there a boom mic if it's just a picture?

[–]IAMA_Ghost_Boo 98 points99 points ago

It makes the explosion sound louder.

You know.

Because BOOM mic.

[–]mattwaver 4 points5 points ago

[–]ij00mini 3 points4 points ago

Really couldn't be bothered, eh?

[–]mattwaver 5 points6 points ago

I'm on a mobile device, life is so hard for me.

[–]ExcuseMyFLATULENCE 11 points12 points ago

[–]AnArmadillo 3 points4 points ago

Why so heated?

[–]IAMA_Ghost_Boo 2 points3 points ago

Hey... that explosion looks familiar.

[–]hobblyhoy 3 points4 points ago

WHAT?! You mean to say the explosion wasn't real and is nothing more than a crude photoshop :O

[–]SprintPrag 836 points837 points ago

Are those the servers in the background?

(I had to, thanks for all you do guys)

[–]JohnScribbles 187 points188 points ago

No those are the reddit's

[–]Descriptivista 67 points68 points ago

The reddit's?

[–]JohnScribbles 111 points112 points ago

Just go with it man

I think it's actually a large explosion.

[–]Snuggypums 23 points24 points ago

IS GOJIRAAAAA!

[–]LerithXanatos 20 points21 points ago

TETSUO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[–]campy 15 points16 points ago

KANEDAAAAAA!!!

[–]Avien 134 points135 points ago

This looks like a still from a wonderfully bad action movie.

Think about it (from left to right):

  • Crazy Asian: Computer/hacking Specialist, hits on Sarah, gets turned down all the time

  • Polo w/ Glasses: Master tactician, loves it when a plan comes together

  • The Heavy: Melee specialist/secret agent, gets all the women, cool like ice

  • The Comic Relief: Driver/backup/always cracks a joke at the possible misfortune of himself or others

  • Sarah: Well, come on. Only woman of the group so insert whichever action stereotype you can think of. But seriously guys, don't generalize, that's not nice. I'm sure she has a loving boyfriend or husband and likes moonlit walks by the beach.

  • The Informant: Always has/can get the information you need. Possible candidate for backstabing the group (plot twist)

[–]johndoev2 25 points26 points ago

Narrator: At the dawn of the 21st century, the internet has grown to become the primary method of communication. Allowing instantaneous contact with everyone connected...but the servers are unable to hold....

cue face shot

Polo: I'm putting together a team...

fade to black, open cafe scene

Asian: you can't make the image pipeline better! It's impossible

Polo: who said anything about better?

cut to bar scene

Heavy: I've been to 4chan...do you know the shit I've seen!

Polo: that's why we need you...

cue epic music

Informant: 1 million dollars....if you allow my benefactor to place ads...in your little project

Asian: [looks at polo] I don't know about this...

Polo: we have no choice, you have a deal...

cut to car chase scene

Sarah: Drive faster dammit!

Comic relief: you sound like my mom

show a little kid on a bicycle passing the car

cue title 404-PAGE NOT FOUND

[–]stilogeno 2 points3 points ago

This is the best 1 minute story I've ever read.

[–]EntingFantastic 16 points17 points ago

I wish my work was described like this. It's more like the show Ugly Americans for me.

[–]Mr_Freckles 153 points154 points ago

Cool guys don't look at explosions

[–]FUCKED-WITH-A-KNIFE 105 points106 points ago

And girl.

[–]junkfood66 68 points69 points ago

Sarah.

[–]YouListening 73 points74 points ago

Is that the nice lady who sent everybody stickers?

[–]Kubaker1 46 points47 points ago

Sarah rockin' her awesome Mom jeans.

[–]EntingFantastic 17 points18 points ago

McLovin is lookin' up these days.

[–]sinfulcolors 33 points34 points ago

Those aren't mom jeans. These are mom jeans. Sarah is wearing high waisted skinning jeans, they're back in style now

[–]nerdsaretheworst 0 points1 point ago

That particular cut and fit is not currently in style. They are too boxy around the hip. Mom jeans.

[–]PlatypusTickler 2 points3 points ago

And that lovely sheep drawing!

[–]bbom 5 points6 points ago

[–]gulpeg 6 points7 points ago

Jim Halpert at the right kinda did

[–]chops88 2 points3 points ago

I was thinking Paul Ryan had a child with Popeye

[–]DubiousMax 263 points264 points ago

[–]proudpedestrian 28 points29 points ago

I knew this was coming. Good on you.

[–]TimothyEUpham 133 points134 points ago

[–]junkfood66 22 points23 points ago

It needs more hookers and blackjack.

[–]HorchataMaster 19 points20 points ago

In fact, forget the picture!

[–]Niyeaux 25 points26 points ago

Needs more pepper spray cop.

[–]silenc3x 11 points12 points ago

[–]Giggity0 16 points17 points ago

Can someone else add in Chubby Bubbles Girl, disaster girl, and the rest of the gang?

[–]TimothyEUpham 32 points33 points ago

[–]MajorBear 6 points7 points ago

I do believe 'the gang' includes Prince Charles.

[–]dyn4mo 795 points796 points ago

Top post isnt about the hot chick...I guess reddit still has a few surprises.

[–]theotherpena 42 points43 points ago

...I did not notice the woman in this picture. I was too distracted by the running fellow at left

[–]SinisterKid 5 points6 points ago

I think his shirt gave him wings.

[–]tortangtalong69 297 points298 points ago

Upvote this guy to disprove his point.

[–]Screaming_Monkey 69 points70 points ago

This is going to have a devastating "This statement is false" effect. What have you done?

[–]Delfishie 8 points9 points ago

True.

...I'm going to go with "true."

[–]likwidtek 2 points3 points ago

PARADOOOOOX!

[–]surfinfan21 15 points16 points ago

Muuustttt reeacchhh tooopppp...

[–]cyberslick188 53 points54 points ago

Dem granny panty hips

[–]Butthole_Scientist 9 points10 points ago

What?

[–]D14BL0 89 points90 points ago

HE SAID "DEM GRANNY PANTY HIPS"

[–]IFUCKINGLOVEMETH 8 points9 points ago

What hot chick?

[–]larkable 57 points58 points ago

I have no inappropriate comments to make about Sarah. She's really awesome at what she does!

I wanted to make a PayPal purchase, but PayPal wouldn't let me pay for it so I sent an email and she instantly responded and was very helpful! I got to finally renew my Imgur Pro account.

Thanks, Sarah!

[–]rrrah 128 points129 points ago

You're welcome! Thanks for not making fun of my mom jeans!

[–]Butthole_Scientist 47 points48 points ago

I think they look just fine. Not all women's jeans have to be riding so damn low.

[–]tacoliquor 36 points37 points ago

He should know, he's a certified Butthole_Scientist.

[–]Butthole_Scientist 45 points46 points ago

I never said I was certified.

[–]xtqfh 11 points12 points ago

What's wrong with being certified?

[–]DaffyDuck 5 points6 points ago

He's saving up for the test fee.

[–]PlainOleMe 21 points22 points ago

I actually really like your outfit. And your hair. I could pull neither of thim off.:(

[–]HotwaxNinjaPanther 18 points19 points ago

Belts do make pants hard to pull off.

[–]PlainOleMe 3 points4 points ago

It took me a second to get it. Heeeehhhh.

[–]howdareyou 11 points12 points ago

Fuck it... pants that sit above your hips are so much more comfortable.

[–]barcodescanner 6 points7 points ago

I'm happily married, and honestly I had to go back and look...but you look amazing in those jeans. Not many people can pull that off, but you did. Keep wearing them.

[–]FnJUSTICE 45 points46 points ago

Everyone's expressions are priceless - from the guy on the far right with his hands in his pockets looking off to the side like as if it's just another day to the guy on the far left's "LOLNOPE" face.

[–]DirtGotWet 22 points23 points ago

I found the expressions to be awkward and distractingly nerdy.

[–]bentonetc 19 points20 points ago

Exactly. It's as though no one quite knew how to look cool, but they read about it somewhere and were trying a bit too hard.

[–]MathewMurdock 7 points8 points ago

Only one Asian? I was expecting more.

[–]ColorDumb 8 points9 points ago

it looks like a commercial for Old Navy.

[–]itches_be_crazy 42 points43 points ago

The guy to the far left is a C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!

[–]rotato 8 points9 points ago

He's the only one aware of the explosion

[–]proudpedestrian 11 points12 points ago

This is the guy's site who took the original, non-shopped photo http://www.joshcouper.com/

[–]Jshillin 5 points6 points ago

The Imgur staff looks exactly like I'd imagine the Imgur staff.

[–]Haddady 8 points9 points ago

I have that same shirt! The Thai Red Bull shirt!

[–]SQUID_FUCKER 6 points7 points ago

Isn't a Thai Red Bull code for lady-boys and cocaine?

[–]HarryMuffin 4 points5 points ago

Alan Schaaf gives hopes to us balding start up founders everywhere.

[–]dazwah 86 points87 points ago

The guy in the blue sweatshirt has bigger boobs than the girl.

[–]WisLonghair 77 points78 points ago

...aaannnnddd /r/fitness subs go up by one.

[–]redaa 9 points10 points ago

guy in the blue sweatshirt?

[–]Ag-E 20 points21 points ago

Yup, you got the joke. Get Sarah to give you a golden sticker, I'm out.

[–]redaa 8 points9 points ago

are you the guy in the blue sweatshirt? i can't tell now

[–]Ag-E 23 points24 points ago

No way, I have way bigger moobs than that flatty.

[–]tonterias 2 points3 points ago

Pics or it didn't happen

I have a feeling I am going to regret this

[–]andrewsmith1986 14 points15 points ago

Which one is /u/MrGrim?

[–]Falcon_Kick 14 points15 points ago

3rd from the right

[–]bdawg923 2 points3 points ago

Your right or their right

[–]ubomw 3 points4 points ago

It's from their blog. MrGrim is the third from (our) right.

[–]Doughboy_Style 4 points5 points ago

that mark next to the guy on the far left... thought there was a hair on my screen.

[–]breenisgreen 2 points3 points ago

Jesus I went and looked. My OCD is going into overdrive. Even now I know that it's not a hair, I can't stop flicking at my screen.

[–]speezo_mchenry 1 point2 points ago

Who's awesome? They're awesome!

[–]redcube85 1 point2 points ago

But I thought reddit was staffed entirely by cats.

[–]trollyollyollyo 7 points8 points ago

NERDS!

[–]acapsfosho 5 points6 points ago

I was under the impression imgur had a lot more people on staff, but now that I think about it, 6 makes sense

[–]Daaaaaaaaamnnnnn 1 point2 points ago

Someone. Someone must photoshop the Asian guy into photos. Don't fail me now internet!

[–]theusualprospect 4 points5 points ago

damn it asian guy, why you promote stereotype

[–]StewieBanana 14 points15 points ago

[–]NarcissisticNerd 7 points8 points ago

holy shit photo bucket is terrible

[–]DontLookInTheCloset 7 points8 points ago

I see what you did there.

[–]timmymac 0 points1 point ago

I don't, can you fill me in?

[–]Luqq 0 points1 point ago

Oh wow, I once shopped an explosion into the back of a picture and apparently used exactly the same source image as used in this pic.

[–]laughtears 2 points3 points ago

Must be all the Red Bull the guy on the left is drinking.

[–]mehdbc 0 points1 point ago

Hey, you should hire me to meet the minority quota.

[–]heat 0 points1 point ago

The jeans, oh god the jeans!

[–]Piscesgurlie4 2 points3 points ago

I love how the guy on the very right is looking around like, "golly it is such a nice day today, oh look at that cloud, that's a nice could."

[–]Xvalai 2 points3 points ago

Cool guys(and girl) don't look at explosions!

[–]SrDigbyChknCaesar 2 points3 points ago

Ah, I knew I recognized the guy in the black polo, I went to school/rowed with him.

Congrats dude

[–]buzkill820 0 points1 point ago

is that mclovin on the far right?

[–]ChristopherColumbass 0 points1 point ago

Asians are the smarter race. He's the only one running!

[–]Kazhawrylak 5 points6 points ago

Is that Grant Imahara on the far left?

[–]pedrowing 2 points3 points ago

too much redbull for the asian guy

[–]notsurewhatiam 4 points5 points ago

/r/malefashionadvice and /r/femalefashionadvice would like to have a word with them.

[–]EntingFantastic 9 points10 points ago

Their fix: wear skinny jeans, plaid, get an undercut like Jimmy from Boardwalk Empire, and never wear facial hair.

[–]jojobawood 10 points11 points ago

So baggy.

[–]kennywinker09 9 points10 points ago

False. /r/malefashionadvice probably needs to have a word, especially re: those jeans, but /r/femalefashionadvice can go fuck itself. She's got so much swagger.

[–]Accidentus 3 points4 points ago

Running shoes. Running shoes everywhere.

[–]diug 5 points6 points ago

this.is.awesome.

[–]canuck_rob 3 points4 points ago

Its blew me away.

[–]LordOfGummies 4 points5 points ago

[–]ILL_Show_Myself_Out 4 points5 points ago

I love the Asians on either side not giving a fuck.

[–]KommunisT 14 points15 points ago

What? There's only one Asian.

[–]SQUID_FUCKER 10 points11 points ago

He showed himself out.

[–]futue_te_ipsum 0 points1 point ago

why is the girl's left hip photoshopped for no reason?

[–]anoxy 2 points3 points ago

I like the asian gentleman. He seems cool.

[–]HYPERNATURL 2 points3 points ago

[–]KoreanTerran 1 point2 points ago

The asian guy kind of looks like Greg Grant from mythbusters.

[–]thekemper 4 points5 points ago

You mean Grant

[–]literacolax 0 points1 point ago

The guy in the blue zip up has nice tits.

[–]tisch28 -1 points0 points ago

Does that guy have a batman shadow logo on his sweater!

[–]SunTzuOfFucking 0 points1 point ago

Ah fuck, the explosion seems to be out of balance with the actual photo. The colours don't match up.

Can someone please fix it?

[–]Durkdurkdurk 0 points1 point ago

Cool batman shirt

[–]U2_is_gay -1 points0 points ago

One of these things is not like the other one.

As a software engineer working in Silicon Valley, I can confirm that this is a perfectly stereotypical dev team.

Everybody wear some sort of gray for the picture!

They look like the cast of a tv show...

[–]Traherne 0 points1 point ago

OP, is your user name the falala from "Deck the Halls?" Just bored and curious.

[–]Smiles_and_Sunshine -1 points0 points ago

huh, guess it's not just a one man operation started by grass roots that is presented to us...

... no... no... it's funded by the people who fund Reddit.

[–]isopropophlex 0 points1 point ago

Just let us upload 1mb+ files again like we used to and we'll stop.

[–]jeg101586 0 points1 point ago

I demand to know who's the one responsible for cutting off the free sticker signups?!?!

As I clicked on this, a commercial for Youth in Revolt came on that said ".. and blowing shit up." followed by an explosion.

[–]yellowcushion 0 points1 point ago

Is that McLovin on the far right?

[–]killersnowtiger 1 point2 points ago

The person in the background is about to have a bad time.

[–]Awesomebedhead 0 points1 point ago

Woah. You guys notice there's a seventh person in there? Look to the far right and you see a pair of legs in the back.

[–]sampiesoso1 0 points1 point ago

Well these look like the greatest people on Earth.

[–]Lost_Horizon 0 points1 point ago

That's awesome. Greatest service on the internet, thus I'm proud to pay my subscription fee monthly.... so use it to buy a damned fire extinguisher for chrissake!!

[–]wikiprofessors 0 points1 point ago

who's got time, to watch an explosion!?

[–]DaOskieWoskie 1 point2 points ago

I somewhat know the guy second from the left, we were both ADAA finalists last year. He was a cool dude.

[–]theparanoidjunkie 0 points1 point ago

What's the shirt the guy on the far left is wearing? I have a similar one I bought from VV but I have no idea what it says.

[–]HDfried 1 point2 points ago

So this is why Imgur was down for maintenance?

[–]Blehgopie 0 points1 point ago

Guy on the right is the least cool, since he is almost looking at the explosion.

[–]Pharose 0 points1 point ago

I love it when people do this in movies, when there's a very large possibility of them being killed by shrapnel.

I don't understand why its soo hard for imgur to stay up. I serve 10k hi-rez images /second on 4 ec2 servers. Is it fucking money??? Get a a business or get out.
