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.

That's what city housing should be like!

[–]Fantikerz 37 points38 points ago

Upkeep would be a huge pain in the ass.

[–]Urinalbuckshots 70 points71 points ago

If done correctly by using native plants upkeep is negligible. It should be treated as a natural area and not landscape.

[–]NameTak3r 16 points17 points ago

Worth it?

[–]B33mo 23 points24 points ago

more jobs?

[–]daveswagon 14 points15 points ago

Probably the same amount of jobs because people would just be spending that portion of their money on garden upkeep instead of something else.

[–]adrianmonk 5 points6 points ago

Well, they'd be local jobs at least.

[–]SumDumKunt 6 points7 points ago

You just gave me an idea involving a hammer and some windows. While we're at it, let's bring back the horseless carriage. I'm still bitter as a member of buggy whip makers local 469.

            This is Namba Parks in Namba, Osaka. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Namba_Parks

            I used to live not too far from here. There's a great Hawaiian burger shop on the 7th(?) floor IIRC.

            Used to live in Osaka myself back when working for Nova. Kua'aina was a great restaurant.

            What branch were you at? Years? Lord I miss Osaka.

            [–]pipboy_warrior 3 points4 points ago

            Nova Ginganet on the 14th floor. Was there for about 3 years up until the bankruptcy.

            [–]killiangray 1 point2 points ago

            What happened to you when they went bankrupt? I was working in Japan at the time (for a different company), and I felt really awful for the Nova staff who got left holding the bag.

            [–]pipboy_warrior 5 points6 points ago

            Basically we didn't get paid the last month, and we could get some of that compensated through the government.

            Some people stayed in Japan and got jobs at other companies. Many like myself just headed home. I have a decent job here in the States, so it turned out ok.

            [–]killiangray 1 point2 points ago

            Ah okay, gotcha. Glad everything worked out for you! Still too bad your time in Japan got cut short, though.

                  That thing is beautiful.

                  That's the only mall I know of that would make mall walking not seem lame.

                  [–]macd4tw 7 points8 points ago

                  Plus it's got a normal looking mall on the inside with all the hallways and escalators and whatnot, so you can still feel lame if you want to.

                  This reminds me of mountainous, medieval villages in Europe like Les Baux, France. I wonder if that was the architect's inspiration.

                  [–]SpencerJamesK 9 points10 points ago

                  Japanese architecture never ceases to amaze me. And they're mostly disaster proof- a little wobbling, sure, but those buildings just don't give.

                    Nothing is explicitly Japanese about this project other than its location. It was built in 2003 by the American architecture firm Jerde Partnership. Also, megablocks like this can be found around Europe as well. I think you're giving Japan a little too much credit.

                      One thing outdoor malls seems to not understand is when it rains. I used to live five minutes from an outdoor mall in Richmond Virginia. I would only have off days when it was raining and the last thing I wanted to do was carry and umbrella and have to walk back and forth from my car three or four times.

                      [–]mynuname 2 points3 points ago

                      Outdoor malls work best where the weather is pretty mild, like southern California.

                          That's Namba Parks! Used to live 5 minutes from there. While agree Japan has a lot of cool stuff, the architect for this was not Japanese.

                          There's an outside mall in San Diego that looks kinda like this, but less trees. It's all confusing too, as to get to the second floor you have to go from the first to the third down to the second, etc. Stupid mall.

                          It is gorgeous, and I enjoyed it as a little refuge from the surrounding chaos of the Namba area of Osaka. Almost no shops are really accessible from the green levels. They serve as a roof top park. The two times I went, I found it as abandoned as the picture suggests. The people stay inside the mall on the lower levels, and out of the sun.

                          Beautiful, but it somehow gives off an overgrown, post-apocalyptic feel to it. Maybe because there are only so few people in the pic. Makes it look abandoned.

                          Namba parks! I always meant to take pictures of the walls when standing inside the mall, but never did. It also weirded me out that there was a Next in there (I'm British, never thought Next was big enough to make its way to Japan).

                          More like a tan/brown mall with areas of green...

                          this is awesome. not only is it good for the enviroment, but would also create landscaping jobs. This should be the model for which all future buildings, residential and commercial, should be based on

                          That's cool-looking. To be a total bummer though, that's ecologically not any better than a regular mall. Tiny bits of man-made green space unfortunately don't do anything for the environment. (Edge effect)

                          Was just here at Namba Parks -- sat out at a parkside table and had a coffee.

                          It's on top of the nightmarishly confusing Namba Stations underground train complex. Heaven and Hell, recreated for the modern urbanite.

                          Doesn't look very green. Looks brown.

                          Should be called "brown mall."

                          Since I've never been to Japan but do watch a lot of anime, the only thing I know about Osaka is that people from there talk funny and it's okay to be a tad racist to them. I'm not even sure HOW they talk funny; sounds the same to me, but in anime it's all "hahaha that guy is from Osaka."

                          I'd like to say having been there, the flowers and stuff are nice but the inside is just a regular mall, from birds eye view the foliage seems abundant but it's a bit disappointing when you get in there. Still a patch of green for the greyness of Osaka I suppose.

                          I'm almost certain I've seen this in Shirow's "Appleseed" manga... I had no idea it was a real place.

                          Dang, now I gotta dig through 'em until I find the page in question to see if it's really the same place.

                          -EDIT-

                          Blarg. Looked through, couldn't find the particular illustration I had in mind. But this sort of terraced, tiered architecture is seen a lot throughout the book.

                          I was going to say that Shirow was likely inspired by this, but according to what I can find out, Namba Parks was built in 2000 and the Appleseed series dates to the late 80's-90's.

                          I would get lost in this and die of starvation.

                          It feels like walking around the mall would be a real pain.
