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.

They're "claspers" used for mating, he wouldn't be able to walk very far on them...

Also, that's a skate, not a stingray.

They aren't content with merely hunting down and murdering our animal TV show hosts in the water.

[–]GreyInkling 0 points1 point ago

They take down one crocodile hunter and the flat fish all get cocky.

[–]layra96 -2 points-1 points ago

We are so fucking fucked.....

[–][deleted] -3 points-2 points ago

They're just evolving into their final form: Raystingor

[–]rozyhammer -2 points-1 points ago

Could be vestigial.

[–]critropolitan 0 points1 point ago

Skates and rays did not evolve from land dwelling animals :p.

(though, if this isn't obvious, whales did evolve from land dwelling animals, and they do as a result have vestigial leg bones - these are internal so you can't see them).

[–]seymour47 -2 points-1 points ago

The better to sting you with, my dear.

[–]madcatlady -2 points-1 points ago

Cassandra?
