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.

Australia: where spiders eat snakes

Cairns man Ant Hadleigh snapped these photos of a golden orb spider attempting to eat a brown tree snake in a Freshwater backyard, April 2012. He estimated the tree snake to be around half a metre long and the spider about the size of a hand; he holds his hand up to the spider in the video (watch only if you can stomach it): http://news.ninemsn.com.au/national/8454494/giant-queensland-spider-devours-snake. The tree snake got snared in the orb spider’s enormous web and was alive for an hour or more before finally succumbing to the spider’s venom; by that stage, according to Hadleigh, ‘...the part which the spider was eating had gone all black and the insides were bubbling’. The snake tried to reach up to attack the spider several times but every time the spider would run to the top of the web. The same spider devoured a wasp the day before.

You should cross post this to /r/spiders!

[–]guldilox 3 points4 points ago

Oh dear god. That is simultaneously awesome and the most horrifying thing ever.

It's like seeing a mantis eating a mouse... My brain isn't used to it! Insects should be lower in the feeding chain!

Snake - I are apex predator

Spider - come a little closer and say that

I was expecting someone to comment "kill it with fire, lol derp"

This kind of stuff is fairly standard in Australia. Much like the orb weaver that caught and ate a bird.

I remember talking to a friend who lived in Sweden and I started to tell him about all the cool shit that can fuck you up here. Spiders Snakes Jellyfish Sharks Plants

He. Was. Horrified. I should work for the tourism commission.

No. No you shouldn't. ;)

Just another reason to not live in Australia.
