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.

In two hundred feet, turn left.

        Darth Vader gives me my directions. Sometimes when you're driving for a long time on the same road, he just starts breathing. It's the creepiest fucking thing ever when you're driving somewhere at night by yourself and he starts that shit.

        I have Jeremy Clarkson, my favourite random saying generally mentions a roundabout or so in 200 meters and then quips "Assuming your car can make it that far"

        Brilliant.

        [–]kittyg92 16 points17 points ago

        ........ I would very much like this. Jeremy Clarkson being snarky while giving me directions would be amazing. Actually, any member of Top Gear would be awesome. Although, now that I think about it... maybe not the Stig.

        [–]i_am_an_engineer 32 points33 points ago

        There is a Stig option... but it's just silence

                      Recalculating, recalculating. Nothing ever made me feel more dumb then 'British Dan' the GPS say, 'recalculating'

                      [–]HarryLeggs 76 points77 points ago

                      Every GPS voice says recalculating in such a condescending voice...

                      My father has a GPS that is intended to sound like a seductive women. Recalculating sounds like you just ruined her orgasm...

                      A single seductive women, as it were. A single women.

                      [–]stevenpetryk 33 points34 points ago

                      Multiple would be hilarious. It'd be like a GPS brothel.

                            My GPS has a British woman voice, and she does this ridiculous trill on the R of the Recalculating. Rrrecaculating

                            I know exactly when she's going to say it, and it's so fun to blast the trill as loud as I can at the same moment: RRrrrrrrecalucating!

                            I don't often have passengers.

                                        Guard rail or guardrail...

                                        Both are technically correct. HipsterSC used "Guard Rail, laughs" since that seems to imply that the rail was literally a guard that was off duty.

                                        Something like that anyway.

                                                  In the winter (aka the dry season) these are all ditches, but they fill up with water during the summer. We have these all over the place, along with retention ponds next to roads. This is why I have a ResQMe on my keychain just in case.

                                                            This is probably not to far from where I live in West Palm Beach. The flooding here is horrible. If you go out west from West Palm there are still miles of dirt roads that border right up to canals with NO guard rail. I've driven on some of them when it's sunny out and let me tell you, it is scary as hell. I can only imagine what it is like when there is rain like we had yesterday.

I would crash my car into the gas station until the car caught on fire. My car would explode (after I retreated to a safe distance) and cause nearby cars and gas pumps to also catch on fire and explode. Apparently once a car explodes, the other NPCs consider it gone because they would drive up and plow through flaming wreckage of other cars to get to the flaming wreckage of a gas pump. Of course, the flaming wreckage at the pump would cause their car to catch on fire and explode too. This cycle would repeat itself almost indefinitely with me struggling to contain my evil laughter.

                                                                                                              If you look at the picture, the road and canal look almost identical. Add in some rain, some overcast skies, and when the water level rises, it can be very easy to drive yourself right into a ditch if you're not familiar with the area. Even if you are familiar with the area, your usual 3rd right suddenly doesn't look familiar at all, and then you realize you're looking down some dude's backyard instead of your driveway.

                                                                                                              [–]kaypricot 54 points55 points ago

                                                                                                              [–]loveshercoffee 21 points22 points ago

And it's not just that you might drive into a canal or a ditch, there is danger in any place where the road dips down. People seem to forget that water is level on the surface no matter what's under it and a couple of inches of water can quickly become a couple of feet.

Were the people out of the car already? If not, OP is a serious piece of shit. Given the fact the brake lights are on, I would assume someone was inside and under water and my first reaction would not be to take a picture.

Chances of OP being the actual photographer are 0 to nil.
