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.

Someones got to be the boss.

[–]apathetic_youth 9 points10 points ago

I always see pictures of albino animals on reddit, and while everyone else is busing commenting on how adorable they are, all I can think of is how its not gonna live very long.

[–]KingOfCats 2 points3 points ago

Ugh it's not even albino I mean come on people it's like you're not even trying. How many times have we given you the run-down on the difference between albinism and leucisism?

[–]i_like_salad 2 points3 points ago

As many times as there are douchebags that complain about it.

[–]mycatiskai 1 point2 points ago

Probably until people say "Check out this white turtle" so people can comment "That's not a white turtle, it's an eggshell turtle mixed with alabaster tones."

[–]BandBoots 0 points1 point ago

That shell is fucking awesome.

[–]Ryusko 1 point2 points ago

I decided to save all of the inevitable hanger-ons the trouble. Here's a crapload more albino animals. Let's limit this repost to one repost.

[–]Stall0ne 0 points1 point ago

The bad thing is that they'll have to throw it away because nobody is gonna wanna eat this..

[–]curious_mormon 0 points1 point ago

If you breed this turtle, are it's offspring more likely to be albino? I see the start of a new species... sold only at your pet shop.

[–]calgy 0 points1 point ago

this is generally how it works, with albinism being a recessive trait, you breed one albino to a normal animal and all the offspring will look normal but carry one copy of the mutated gene (heterozygous), now if you breed the offspring to each other you get 25% albinos in the next generation or breed one of the offspring back to the albino parent for 50% albinos.

My Caucasian.

[–]IniMiniManiMo 0 points1 point ago

We get it /r/pics, albino animals exist. Now shut up about it, please.

[–]gordofrog 0 points1 point ago

Man, I can never find a shiny

[–]lmkling 0 points1 point ago

How I feel at a Ice T concert

[–]medicfourlife 0 points1 point ago

Baby turtles sure are cute as hell.

[–]WesWar 1 point2 points ago

what did it taste like?

[–]hoopdeewoop 0 points1 point ago

wow. i thought i'd be the only one in here that first thought, "EAT IT!"

[–]nikann26 -4 points-3 points ago

Sorry. REPOST!

[–]Goldbear[S] 11 points12 points ago

You're a repost.

[–]Siarles 0 points1 point ago

Still a cool pic, and I haven't seen it yet.

[–]hurricanemolly00 -1 points0 points ago

just take all my d'awwws

[–]TheArmenian -1 points0 points ago

Make sure he lives. I would love to see that fucker when i'm 60 and hes a big ol' boy :D

[–]melted_icecream 1 point2 points ago

Unfortunately his chances of survival are very slim to none. A average hatchling has 1/1000th chance of surviving to sexual maturity so by standing out this much the chances go down.I put 2 of my pictures up for you,a albino that didnt reach full development and a healthy baby http://imgur.com/a/cSggP

[–]TheArmenian 0 points1 point ago

Brings a tear to my eye to read that but oh well ;_; maybe someday i'll see a 40 year old albino turtle. I WILL NEVER LOOSE HOPE.

[–]melted_icecream 0 points1 point ago

Thats the spirit, never lose hope!

[–]Ryusko -2 points-1 points ago

Considering how old this repost is that turtle is likely long dead.
