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.

I hate the fact that anything is blocked on the internet. We don't recognize borders, we don't recognize YOUR laws. The only law we recognize is don't claim a repost as your own. Much simpler.

The Elephant in the Living Room has one of the most heart-wrenching and tragic scenes I've ever seen in any documentary, and it's over a man and his lions.

Lions seem extremely intelligent. The mother knew there was no hope, making an accurate assessment of injuries and leaving the cub for good. I was very surprised.

Oh my god, Jeremy Irons narrates?

FUCKING PERFECT.

Whole movie is submitted by the same youtube account. Should find all 6 parts in the account's profile.

[–]N4N4KI 17 points18 points ago

lawl. Jeremy Irons is doing the voice over, same guy who did scar in the lion king.

[–]jjtcorsair 5 points6 points ago

I just want to believe that the filmmakers rescued the little cub after they got all that mean mommy stuff. Please?

[–]imkindofimpressed 13 points14 points ago

You made me look like a little bitch crying in my campus library. Thanks though, I guess

[–]axloc 11 points12 points ago

I walked by a guy in the library about an hour ago that was watching this and it was quite obvious he was shedding a tear... did I just see you?

We need to know dammit! Was it really him?

[–]Pandonetho 2 points3 points ago

Poor cub, damn near broke my heart when its mother left it.

[–]sambowilkins 6 points7 points ago

That was the saddest thing I have ever seen, bar none. Oddly enough, I have to thank you for showing me this.

[–]Creatine_Monohydrate 2 points3 points ago

Well, this just ruined my day. I'm not a lion, but my mom deserves a hug. I'm going to go give her a hug.

[–]FaceLadyFace 0 points1 point ago

Even though I cried like a baby watching that clip, I'm still going to download the entire documentary.

That was too fucking sad. Omg. :(

[–]TrgtdwnyJR 96 points97 points ago

From what I understand about lions... this guy can't be too old. He still has a good amount of pink on his nose and older lions (after about 8 years) have completely black noses

[–]Deathwish_Drang 87 points88 points ago

Lions have it easy, they do three things, eat, fuck and sleep. Occasionally they have to scare off a young lion but that's about it.

[–]pitlord713 104 points105 points ago

They have to fight off intruding alpha males. It's the most dangerous and important job in the pride.

[–]johnggault 54 points55 points ago

Yes when they were young they risked their father getting killed by another Lion which would have meant certain death for them, if they managed to come of age they would be banished from the pride to fend for themselves. If they managed to get their own pride they will spend a lifetime fighting other younger male lions that will sometimes also travel in groups of 2-3.

[–]buakaw 228 points229 points ago

Once they get kicked out of the pride they can chill out, make friends with a meerkat and a warthog and live a life with no worries for the rest of their days.

[–]Drewdle10 25 points26 points ago

Until finally seeing the image of their dead father in a cloud, who encourages them to return and reclaim their rightful ownership of the pride by vanquishing their evil uncle.

[–]digisplicer 10 points11 points ago

It was the word "SEX" made of leaves and dust that did it.

[–]johnggault 36 points37 points ago

It would be fun for a while but with no bitches around to cook for them they go looking for their own pride because most men would rather risk death than have to cook for themselves.

[–]WestenM 18 points19 points ago

You obviously do not know any Italian men.

[–]MissCheeks 9 points10 points ago

What, Italian men have no pride?

[–]buakaw 84 points85 points ago

They have their own harem, a harem that feeds them. So awesome.

[–]Gyrant 16 points17 points ago

Yeah, not easy. And this only if they make it to their prime, having to spend several years on their own or with another male buddy, then having to (usually violently) depose the previous pride male(s) and murder all his offspring.

Once he manages to do this, he's got to constantly patrol his territory to protect his offspring from the same fate. He also functions as a bodyguard/bouncer when it comes to keeping other dangers like hyenas away. Sure he may get to eat his fill at every meal, but he's merely being paid in due for putting his ass on the line to protect the house. It's in the pride's best interests to feed him well, the bigger and stronger he is, the safer they sleep, even if they do sleep a bit hungry.

While lionesses survive as long as they are in hunting/mating shape, a pride male probably has 3-5 years tops before he suffers the same fate as his predecessor. If he is not killed by his usurpers, he will have to live on his own into his not-so-older years. Practically useless at hunting due to his garish mane, he'll live as a scavenger. Waning in size and strength and being constantly chased away by the male of each territory he wanders into.

[–]gentlemandinosaur 12 points13 points ago

They aren't even very "king" like. They tend to scavenge more than most other savannah carnivores. Even Hyenas spend more time hunting.

[–]Kegir 51 points52 points ago

You say that like hyenas are pussies. Hyenas are bad ass and have been known to take kills from lions and generally fuck with their dominance. Source; animal planet and junk.

[–]chazysciota 19 points20 points ago

Yes, they do run lions off of kills, but generally only after they have a 4 to 1 advantage. In this video, there look to be 20 or more hyenas (7 to 1) and the lions still take several minutes to weigh their options before retreating. Don't get me wrong, hyenas are badass, but lions are still lions.

[–]hassani1387 4 points5 points ago

MALE lions have it that easy.

[–]WestenM 21 points22 points ago

Actually, they're engaged in perpetual warfare in which they risk losing everything. Male lions keep the pride safe from other male lions, who will kill their cubs if they win. The male's job is to provide security, make cubs, and provide the heavy muscle on bigger game such as giraffes, hippos, and occasionally elephants.

[–]Learnincurve 2 points3 points ago

Pics, a place where someone gets downvoted for doing something useful and providing credit to the talent that created something where none was given. I wonder if there are people out there who genuinely believe that all of reddit is original content and not at all stolen and loaded to imgur for karma.

[–]WorldsWorstPoet 2 points3 points ago

Beneath the cuts and battle scars, An old lion lays back and stares at stars

For amid the constellations upon high, There his brave old ancestors lie

In eternity they are bred and bound, Old lion kings sit safe and sound

For now upon his throne he stays, Until the end of his royal days.

Soon his offspring shall be king, For he may not survive 'til Spring

Just like kings who came before, Not long left he has to roar

And though the time is getting near, The brave old king will never fear

With family and friends at his side, As a Lion King, he will die with pride.
