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.

A man in my hometown made a 500 ft waterslide down a street. Fittingly, his last name is "Bliss".

[–]Cenlei 21 points22 points ago

GR baby!

[–]Apf4 4 points5 points ago

I'm from San Diego, but went to college in GR and the one thing that really struck me about it was the public events that everyone takes part in. We don't have stuff like that here :(

[–]matrael 4 points5 points ago

What is GR? Sounds like a place I want to go to.

[–]Mouce 7 points8 points ago

Grand Rapids, MI

[–]digital_evolution 6 points7 points ago

Come for Art Prize this fall. The entire town is filled with art and average everyday people get to vote on it. Of course that ends up being a wide opportunity for artists to pander for a cash prize (last year a religious painting of Jesus won - GR is a conservative dutch town).

That being said, we have a vibrant arts community and a fairly liberal city...pot is on the ballet to be decriminalized. At the same time we have a thriving art community and a fellow LGBT community, we still have rich white dutch people putting up homophobic signs telling people to vote for Romney or the gays get marriage.

I love and hate this town.

[–]icansnapmyfingers 0 points1 point ago

I LOVE ART PRIZE!!!! I Live in Holland and go EVERY YEAR!

[–]digital_evolution 1 point2 points ago

Oh hai!

[–]icansnapmyfingers 0 points1 point ago

Hai

[–]digital_evolution 0 points1 point ago

Dude did you draw that just to reply? Win.

[–]icansnapmyfingers 0 points1 point ago

no i didnt draw that..=/ sadly im not artistic at all..

[–]Cenlei 1 point2 points ago

It is pretty great, I currently go to college in Kalamazoo and I miss it like crazy :( but with work and classes, I hardly ever get to go back.

[–]Brettalis 1 point2 points ago

Represent!

[–]king_of_chardonnay -2 points-1 points ago

too bad that dude is a dickhole if you actually know him

[–]MotorcycleCK 15 points16 points ago

That's Los Angeles, right? 2nd or 3rd or something? When the hell was this?!

[–]resinentfrequency 12 points13 points ago

4th and Hill, 90013.

[–]drake66 3 points4 points ago

Correction: 5th and Grand Downtown Los Angeles.

[–]New_World_Era 0 points1 point ago

Dammit, I live in L.A. near downtown!!! How did I miss this?!

[–]strith 1 point2 points ago

it was 4 years ago. I heard it was supposed to happen again this weekend but I can't find any info about it

[–]fdemmer 0 points1 point ago

http://goo.gl/maps/7I5MK

[–]Mandrillsy 0 points1 point ago

Correct http://goo.gl/maps/Ea0Yq

[–]hdcs -2 points-1 points ago

Gunna say dat looked like Union Square in SF. Take away the cable car tracks and that would be a HELLUVA ride.

[–]akn320 1 point2 points ago

Looks to me a lot like Nob Hill in San Francisco.

[–]JTyler82 2 points3 points ago

Nah. Not Nob. Nob doesn't have a big glass building like that.

[–]callthecopslol 3 points4 points ago

Britain chuckles at your road name

[–]ChilledMonkeyBrains1 0 points1 point ago

Nor a bridge at its crest.

[–]JTyler82 0 points1 point ago

Correct

[–]Tom_Anks 0 points1 point ago

Haha, Nob Hill. There's a Cockledick's lane near me.

[–]smallstepforman 2 points3 points ago

Looks like San Andreas.

[–]Aleax2358 1 point2 points ago

Fuck, I'm in Los Angeles. When did I miss this?

[–]DaisyDoozer 5 points6 points ago

Is it weird that I recognize this from GTA?

[–]opm881 2 points3 points ago

I do to, it is from 3 I believe. Its the second last street before a junk yard and the water.

[–]Brumeh 10 points11 points ago

I could almost think of the pain if you flew over the side into the street into a tree then parked car... ouch

[–]diabolotry 5 points6 points ago

Hell, launching out of that puppy and landing on asphalt would be not fun times at all. Road rash. Gah.

[–]adamoo403 5 points6 points ago

This was from a Dodge commercial, pictures here, screen caps of said commercial here. Unable to find actual commercial footage

[–]velmaspaghetti 5 points6 points ago

http://youtu.be/TTdWV3HLk4g

also, the song in the commercial is by The Apples in Stereo, so that's a plus.

[–]ServerGeek 2 points3 points ago

I need to move to wherever that is located.

[–]tkelito 4 points5 points ago

Downtown LA

[–]boredwaitingforlife 5 points6 points ago

This would be AWESOME on the hills of the City aka San Francisco

[–]plantsaretheorigin 87 points88 points ago

You have to be a total dork to call San Francisco "the City aka San Francisco"

[–]Yoshokatana 21 points22 points ago

Yeah. Everyone knows The City is actually Manhattan. (Or Constantinople, if you live anywhere from 409 CE to 1400 CE.)

[–]sccrstud92 4 points5 points ago

Actually 600-900 CE don't exist.

[–]disparue 11 points12 points ago

Ah, the phantom time hypothesis?

[–]Yoshokatana 1 point2 points ago

I...don't get it. ಠ_ಠ

[–]sccrstud92 3 points4 points ago

http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/z4wfp/what_is_the_dumbest_myth_or_conspiracy_you_have/c61isau

[–]Yoshokatana 2 points3 points ago

That is the strangest conspiracy theory I've ever heard of.

[–]goofygrin 3 points4 points ago

or Oklahoma City if you're in Oklahoma.

[–]Yoshokatana 4 points5 points ago

Are there any other cities in Oklahoma?

[–]meeowth 1 point2 points ago

Tulsa, though it is often referred to in song as the alliteration "Tulsa town".

[–]Yoshokatana 0 points1 point ago

I stand corrected.

[–]dromadika 6 points7 points ago

or seattle...

[–]secretchimp 5 points6 points ago

your teeth would go through your nose at the first pothole hidden underneath a thing like that.

[–]Briighteyes16 1 point2 points ago

The city? You must live on the peninsula.

Maybe if it was on the grass...

[–]AslanxDiedxlolx 0 points1 point ago

Not "I". But "we"

[–]iFoxyFox 0 points1 point ago

I'm worried I'd be one of those unlucky bastards who goes off the side.

[–]TyrannicalCannibal 0 points1 point ago

I saw this a bit earlier. Some like-whore on Facebook used this as one of there pics.

[–]shnizalwizal 0 points1 point ago

Don't you think it would work better on grass? not as hard and less chance of the slide ripping?

[–]ScrewyInk 0 points1 point ago

slide a brick under it somewhere

[–]Pendiculation 0 points1 point ago

I totally photographed the buildings to the right of this like 6 months ago.

[–]bigblockcrx 0 points1 point ago

Any payday: the heist players? Looks like part of heat street.

[–]cstrong 0 points1 point ago

OMG I need to do this. Even if I lose my job, because I leave it to do this, I still need to do this. Tell me what this is, or I will haunt you with my jobless corpse.

[–]teabagalomaniac -1 points0 points ago

I've never been to San Francisco, but I'm pretty sure I recognize this from San Francisco Rush.

[–]ls1z28chris 0 points1 point ago

All that is missing is a gauntlet of people with super soakers lining each side of the track.

[–]jymiscool 1 point2 points ago

I hope they put a shit ton of padding underneath or you might as hell just take a baseball bat to your entire body.

Then you slip off the edge mid-way and end up skinless.

[–]cefriano 0 points1 point ago

I shudder to think about how many little pebbles are sitting on that slip-n-slide waiting to shred my chest when I slide.

[–]Jetpack123 0 points1 point ago

wear a shirt or you will feel the pain. i see not the soapy water.

[–]Kbaas3 1 point2 points ago

Meanwhile in Grand Rapids.... http://videos.mlive.com/grpress/2010/08/500_waterslide_opens.html

[–]LoneWave 0 points1 point ago

All fun and games till a rock gets under the slipnslide.

[–]Overused_Gimli 0 points1 point ago

I need to see the wipeout reel

[–]desklok 0 points1 point ago

Is the end point tall enough after building up that much speed?

[–]CosmicBard 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, that's what you want. To be sliding on your stomach at thirty miles an hour as you slide over a tiny concrete bumb about half a millimeter in size and it shreds half the skin off your torso.

Fun times. Wow, is this ever retarded.

[–]Chanexy -1 points0 points ago

You need to do what? Stand bent over a camera like Quasimodo? Walk around in a red tank top while possibly being on the phone? Stand around in a white tank top contemplating a floatation device? There are too many options, man, you've got to give us some context when you say "this."
