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.

DAE THINK WOMEN HAVE NEVER BEEN OBEDIENT?

[–]MrVandalous 44 points45 points ago

Why do you think men were so hell-bent on proving the world was flat?

[–]Domian 21 points22 points ago

And why Minecraft is so popular?

[–]wtfcollege 7 points8 points ago

Flat circle?

[–]AirOkami 4 points5 points ago

Flat circles still don't have corners.

[–]l3dig 1 point2 points ago

Some flat circles have many many corners my friend. Anyone who has ever zoomed in on a raster image can verify.

[–]wtfcollege 1 point2 points ago

That was my point

[–]rhoffman12 0 points1 point ago

Four-cornered cube.

[–]centerbleep 0 points1 point ago

always good to see this still making the rounds... ehehe

[–]The_Texican 2 points3 points ago

Obedient... like cats are obedient...

[–]AnnoyingMovieQuoter -5 points-4 points ago

And then god created kitchens with nice big corners so men who have a place to put all their pet women.

[–]ColeSloth -3 points-2 points ago

And a clock on the stove, and smaller feet so they can stand closer to the sink when doing dishes.

[–]totosaitama -2 points-1 points ago

Forward Wheel Drive*

[–]Hurrfdurf 225 points226 points ago

My grandma sent this to me in 1776.

[–]falafelsizing 55 points56 points ago

seriously though, my grandmom posted this on facebook 2-3 weeks ago. not joking.

[–]ArtyJoker 21 points22 points ago

Grandmom...? :/

[–]hemingwaybing 8 points9 points ago

i have a friend that says "grand-daddy" i make that same face when I hear that

[–]avksx 31 points32 points ago

Granpappy is a fucking hilarious word. I don't give a shit what anyone says.

[–]Poisoneded 3 points4 points ago

We always called him GrandpaBob. One word, like that.

[–]nuts4coconuts 2 points3 points ago

I thought I was the only one!

[–]flamingfungi -3 points-2 points ago

I bet he really overemphasizes the "d" in grand. Makes me cringe just thinking about it.

[–]falafelsizing 0 points1 point ago

actually i call her 'nana', but i figured grandmom was unambiguous.

[–]Methusalah 28 points29 points ago

Why is this all cut out and taped together like that?

[–]slowitdown 21 points22 points ago

Some people still don't know how to copy and paste text into MS Word.

[–]you_wont_read_this -2 points-1 points ago

Clearly posted at work on a board somewhere, as was done in the days before email or terminal MOTD's (Message of the Day).

[–]Anhedonique 77 points78 points ago

Shitty office humour.

[–]boblahblah101 25 points26 points ago

This exact picture was forwarded to me three days ago by an old coworker of mine who only texts me to send me shitty jokes like this.

[–]jmcstar 1 point2 points ago

Perfectly said.

[–]tremens -1 points0 points ago

Created a subreddit for it. I'll make you a moderator if you want.

[–]ZenViking 88 points89 points ago

When God said "corners", he meant "street corners".

[–]The_Doctor_00 11 points12 points ago

Close enough, the four corners are the four cardinal directions of north, south, east and west.

[–]mmarmar -4 points-3 points ago

that's just your interpretation.

[–]InterstellarPancake 6 points7 points ago

Yeah, PROVE IT WITH SCIENCE.

[–]ZenViking 1 point2 points ago

Hey, women on street corners are obedient...depending how much you pay.

[–]kyjellopie 1 point2 points ago

and how much they want to live

[–]Nukari 18 points19 points ago

Wow. Something I saw on facebook first. Whelp reddit, this is goodbye.

[–]kitreddit 4 points5 points ago

Don't worry this is a repost. Reddit did it first. REDDIT DID IT FIRST.

[–]interpo1 1 point2 points ago

If you ever come back, you'll be back. You know it's true.

[–]slevadon 5 points6 points ago

your wife must be on my mom's email spam circuit

[–]Gingerbreadmancan 11 points12 points ago

Sense of humor or this was part of divorce papers..

[–]my_internet_points 14 points15 points ago

Good. Having an "obedient" wife sounds like it would be terrible.

[–]ChopShopper 4 points5 points ago

Did she fax it?

[–]TheTrinketWeasel 47 points48 points ago

Does anyone here really want an 'obedient' wife? Sounds like an airhead with a conservative upbringing.

[–]touchy610 16 points17 points ago

You'd be surprised.

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]TheTrinketWeasel -2 points-1 points ago

but you can't be obedient unless you have a master

[–]charpops 9 points10 points ago

From what I understand, some men will wed a woman from (certain parts of) Asia because they're very submissive and do everything they're told.

[–]peeppep 4 points5 points ago

Thats why there are mail order wives, because men think that women from other countries are that way.

[–]TheTrinketWeasel 2 points3 points ago

recipients of russian women are in for a nasty shock.

[–]5353 12 points13 points ago

Yes. What do you have against conservatively raised airheads?

[–]KeeseSlayer 13 points14 points ago

this is Reddit, everyone has something against conservatively raised airheads.

[–]Clyktose 7 points8 points ago

or just conservative anything.

[–]TheTrinketWeasel 0 points1 point ago

pretty much everything

[–]SlaughterMeister 5 points6 points ago

Exactly my thoughts when I read this in the e-mail my mother sent me two years ago.

[–]im_too_literal 2 points3 points ago

It's a mythical happy medium. Independent enough that she can take care of herself but submissive enough to take care of you.

[–]TheTrinketWeasel 4 points5 points ago

Am I The Only One Here who wants an equal?

[–]ZaeronS -4 points-3 points ago

It's not really mythical - it's just like any other set of personality traits: unusual and uncommon when you consider the entire population.

And there's nothing wrong with wanting specific things from your partner as long as you're open, honest and straightforward about your desires. It's the people who sneak their bullshit up on you that're the problem.

[–]im_too_literal 5 points6 points ago

That's true...but it is extremely hard to take care of someone else without reciprocation for a prolonged period, and I say this as a woman who tried and nearly had a nervous breakdown when I eventually failed.

[–]ZaeronS 1 point2 points ago

Well, generally, I'd consider a partner who demands to be taken care of without any kind of reciprocation to be an ass. It's tough to discount expectations from a partner based on the rudeness of some people who have those expectations, I guess, to me.

Sorry you had a bad experience, though. I can see why you wouldn't want to do it again, since you obviously got a raw deal. :(

[–]avaLoNz -1 points0 points ago

You certainly wouldn't be able to garner any karma out of an obedient wife.

[–]usernameString 1 point2 points ago

Sounds like God agrees with you.

[–]treemusicman 0 points1 point ago

depends on what you mean by obedient. i think most men would agree they want a wife who doesn't go sleeping around.

[–]poptartbrger -2 points-1 points ago

I think you are reading a little to far into this.

[–]le_monkeyface 17 points18 points ago

it means she cheated on you

[–]Lyianx 3 points4 points ago

"laughed... and laughed... and laughed"

GlaDOS??

[–]TruthRage 2 points3 points ago

Ohhhhh boi

[–]M4ver1k 3 points4 points ago

This does not prove there is a merciful god. Goes and cries in the corner

[–]poo-poo 2 points3 points ago

Proves there is a god. Checkmate atheists.

[–]M4ver1k 1 point2 points ago

I never said that. From my mind the options were either not a merciful god, or no god at all. It's a stalemate.

[–]poo-poo 0 points1 point ago

-mate

checkmate.

[–]M4ver1k 0 points1 point ago

A stale checkmate?

[–]jaysteven1337 7 points8 points ago

Wow this is funny almost as funny as the 4.5 billion times I've seen it before because OP sucks

[–]ALPHAFIRE -1 points0 points ago

This has never been seen by anyone on the internet in the history of people and time.

[–]ZeroGSpaceCow 1 point2 points ago

You wife seems like a nice lady, but man that joke is old and lame.

[–]kabukistar 1 point2 points ago

This joke is freaking old and lame. I'm not even sure that the bible actually says that.

[–]Kryten_2X4B-523P 0 points1 point ago

Tell her, "Non-Euclidean geometry bitch. Draw any two lines that are not co-linear from top of the globe to the bottom. Two corners BITCH."

[–]Jmac0585 0 points1 point ago

At least she is aware of the problem.

[–]satnightride 0 points1 point ago

Reddit is slowly becoming the shitty forwards my mom sends me. Goddamn it.

[–]karmat0se -1 points0 points ago

God made the world... That's cute.

[–]youngjheezy 0 points1 point ago

Repost. Claim the wife sent it. Karma.

[–]Cocoa92 1 point2 points ago

And that my friends is why kitchens have four corners.

[–]zhico 0 points1 point ago

Don't be sad you are never alone there is always a spider within three feet of you. :D

[–]CleverCactus 4 points5 points ago

No, that is completely false.

[–]CanttouchthisBANANA -3 points-2 points ago

Well actually it means god basically said there would be good obedient wives everywhere, since every point on the outside/surface of a circular/spherical shape is basically a corner. No matter where you make an arc (some kind of incomplete circular shape, basically like the parenthesis) on a circle, or put a point on a sphere, it's a corner of a circle, or a corner of a sphere.

Am I right?

[–]TlalocII 5 points6 points ago

No, a real corner would have a discontinuity in the first derivitive. A circle doesn't have that property.

Or put differently: For any 2 points very close to a chosen point on the circle or sphere, the line though the 2 nearby points and a chosen point converges to a straight line (generally a straight line isn't considered a corner) as the distance between the chosen point and the 2 nearby points decreases. If the chosen point was on a corner, the angle would converge to the angle of that corner as the distance from the 2 points to the corner decreases.

[–]CanttouchthisBANANA 0 points1 point ago

AHAH! YOU ACTIVATED MY TRAP CARD!

The earth isn't a perfect circle (especially if you take away the atmosphere and just look at the shape that the land and water make), it's an extremely bumpy polygon. Therefore, it really has MANY MANY corners.

Yea I know, I'm still wrong about the circles having corners thing. But I'm just saying, although god (hypothetically) make the world roundish, it still technically has many corners right? So.... yea

[–]gears4head 0 points1 point ago

FTFY derivative

[–]Riddlerforce 2 points3 points ago

No. A sphere is differentiable across its entire surface, therefore there are no corners on it.

[–]GoAheadMakeMySplay 7 points8 points ago

I came here to say this, sort of. If you consider n-gons - triangle, square, pentagon, hexagon... dodecagon... as n approaches infinity, the n-gon turns into a perfect circle. Same with 'hedrons. So yeah, every point on the surface of a sphere is a corner (more accurately, a vertex, edge, and face).

This is also why I have no friends.

[–]RavenOfOdin 0 points1 point ago

Nope. Corners are not differentiable as they are where two lines meet at an angle, whereas as sphere is differentiable because it has no corners. You must also take into account the fact that at the time that the bible was written most people thought that the earth was flat.

[–]QBRebel16 1 point2 points ago

Heard it before. Still love it.

[–]cellularfunk -1 points0 points ago

The round earth is but a recent development. That flat earth had corners and probably some real obedient women.

[–]RileyWon -1 points0 points ago

Is 570 BCE recent to you? source

[–]cellularfunk -1 points0 points ago

As a history major - I am aware that ancient civilizations were aware of the world's actual geometry. However, there was a gap in which people believed the converse.

[–]RileyWon 0 points1 point ago

There are the equivalent of peasants now who believe the world is flat. The educated have known for thousands of years. When we talk about the four corners of the world we're talking about the corners of the known world on a map. Very simple. It has nothing to do with believing the world is flat. As a History major, you should know this.

[–]sagivh 0 points1 point ago

because God is a she.

[–]basec0m -2 points-1 points ago

Spherical...

[–]Kazooman -1 points0 points ago

Stop fucking posting this. It's getting old. It was funny at first, but now it's just annoying.

[–]dulocrazy 0 points1 point ago

Sounds like you've got a keeper..

[–]ilovesaget 0 points1 point ago

Joke's on you! Infinite corners!

[–]TheAriaWithin -2 points-1 points ago

Checkmate atheists!

[–]TXrichard 0 points1 point ago

This is so funny last time I heard that I fell off my dinosaur.

[–]2520 -2 points-1 points ago

That is awesome man. Extremely Lucky Basterde. Fuckin' A.

[–]lizardwizardboy97 -4 points-3 points ago

there isstall possible...lol

[–]mr_steezy -5 points-4 points ago

So your wife's a but of a cunt yeah?

[–]LupoScuro -2 points-1 points ago

Stick her head in the hole of an aqueduct, and laugh and laugh and laugh, as you take care of this situation for humanities sake...
