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.

[–]Jesterfellah 95 points96 points ago

Yup, "timing". And by timing you mean shooped.

[–]jaimecruza 29 points30 points ago

And by shooped you mean 'shopped.

[–]Jesterfellah 41 points42 points ago

No, I meant shooped.

[–]jaimecruza 26 points27 points ago

Alright then.

[–]Jesterfellah 11 points12 points ago

What the fuck did you just link?

[–]Agehn 6 points7 points ago

He tried to hotlink to funnyjunk, but that doesn't work. Sometimes when people post broken links, fellow redditors will be forgiving and attempt to alert them or even guess what the intended link was and post it. However due to the Oatmeal / Funnyjunk incident earlier this year, redditors have no sympathy for that other site and broken funnyjunk hotlinks simply get downvoted.

[–]TheOtherSarah 0 points1 point ago

What incident? What did I miss?

[–]Agehn 1 point2 points ago

Oh god it was a huge big thing a while ago. It started with this and escalated in a crazy fashion. The lawyer representing Funnyjunk, Charles Carreon, is a real shitbird. For a full account of the ridiculous shit he tried to pull and how he was the Oatmeal dude stood up and gave him a righteous "fuck you," read these blog posts starting with the oldest at the bottom.

It was a totally insane event. I mean, the amount of ignorant, antagonistic wrongness exhibited by Funnyjunk's lawyer was just staggering. A lot of this can be seen just in the first letter sent to the Oatmeal (my first link) but it actually escalated from there and got even dumber.

[–]TheOtherSarah 0 points1 point ago

And here I thought Funnyjunk links were being downvoted because RES hates them.

[–]TheAtomicPlayboy 51 points52 points ago

At least this one has a marginally better title.

[–]red321red321 25 points26 points ago

marginally

[–]cyanoacrylate 32 points33 points ago

Significantly. The butterfly in the picture is most certainly not a moth. The others were downright inaccurate.

[–]NotDeadJustSlob 4 points5 points ago

You, my good sir, get an upvote. 20 points to anyone who can name the family.

[–]Ardeet 14 points15 points ago

Appears to be one of the Thompson boys from down the road.

(damn kids ate my lawn then pupated all over it).

[–]centipedeseverywhere 2 points3 points ago

Maybe if I was 7 again.

[–]protoopus 0 points1 point ago

morpho?

[–]NotDeadJustSlob 1 point2 points ago

Morpho is a genus, that is, however, in the family Nymphalidae, which is the correct answer (I believe).

[–]NotDeadJustSlob 1 point2 points ago

Aww come on. It 'appears' to have only 2 pairs of legs.

[–]Ceejae -2 points-1 points ago

I don't see why people here pretend to care so much about the title. It's a title. It's purpose is to convince you to look at something that is worth looking at.

[–]apullin 2 points3 points ago

I'm glad people do this every time now.

[–]hippostiptoes 20 points21 points ago

look at the butterfly's legs, shopped.

[–]johnny_gunn 2 points3 points ago

Probably, but how is this indicated by the legs?

[–]hippostiptoes 2 points3 points ago

well there are 3 legs visible. If you look closely at the feet they all seem to rest right on the edge of the eye socket, which just doesn't make sense.

[–]K__a__M__I 14 points15 points ago

'tis shopped.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

That's an awful adjective.

[–]Asophis 0 points1 point ago

*adverb

[–]cmdixon2 1 point2 points ago

Would you call it hauntingly awful?

[–]brettthatcher 3 points4 points ago

"Hauntingly beautiful."

[–]DrGex[S] 1 point2 points ago

That would have caused so much less bitterness in the comments... dam.

[–]xx0ur3n 4 points5 points ago

So fucking old.

[–]Zuijj 6 points7 points ago

Yup, that skull is fucking old.

[–]aryst0krat 2 points3 points ago

This is my Steam avatar :)

[–]Pirate_Crippler 1 point2 points ago

Saw the stream yesterday and came hoping you'd have some kind of comment. wasn't disappointed.

[–]aryst0krat 1 point2 points ago

Oh yeah, it's also my stream picture. Totally forgot :o

[–]dcrcooae 0 points1 point ago

i don't know what I look like but I stand here because it does something

[–]cccjfs 0 points1 point ago

From the thumbnail I was guessing a fish inside a coral reef.

[–]Skullmonkey_ 1 point2 points ago

This has been added to my personal collection.

[–]Lemon_Bits 1 point2 points ago

like the idea, the creator needs to level up his photoshop, though.

[–]kachowsally 1 point2 points ago

[–]thebearcat 0 points1 point ago

I can tell because of the pixels.

[–]joshv13 0 points1 point ago

hauntingly good photoshop

[–]Grachiaire 0 points1 point ago

[–]KawlN 0 points1 point ago

I now want a tattoo like this.

[–]zombi3mak3r 1 point2 points ago

I made this photo, my screen saver

[–]Cuttlefeesh 1 point2 points ago

Isn't this the same title (or very similar) to the last few times it was posted this month?

[–]DrGex[S] 3 points4 points ago

Actually didn't know it was a repost, used Tineye and nothing came up so thought i was safe, apparently Tineyes just not as useful as i thought.

[–]Lucas_is_lazy 2 points3 points ago

Upvote for an honest attempt.

[–]metabeing 1 point2 points ago

http://karmadecay.com/r/pics/comments/z8nit/c/c62j93z?context=3

Far as I can tell, title is not similar to previous; although picture clearly is a repost.

[–]XxFluffyToastxX 1 point2 points ago

"hauntingly" a repost.

[–]Galveira -2 points-1 points ago

[–]Soap_Box -2 points-1 points ago

/r/perfecttiming

[–]asherfergusson -2 points-1 points ago

Wickedly awesome butterfly!

[–]Ftumsh -2 points-1 points ago

Moth is glued to skull.

[–]carwaxsalesman 0 points1 point ago

However, from a technical stand point, submission #2 posted in /r/illusionporn is most properly posted. [8]

[–]PineappleSmoothie -1 points0 points ago

At least he won't have any mothballs. ;)
