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 believe it's called Massive Unicorn Orgasm. i might be wrong, though.

[–]mequals1m1w 1 point2 points ago

No, you're absolutely correct.

[–]MonsieurLeMeow 3 points4 points ago

It looks like a bunch of people jumping up to reach a ball. So motivational.

[–]fenikz 3 points4 points ago

I would call it 'paint drops'. Just that simple.

[–]Browan 4 points5 points ago

It looks like a project that a photographer did with Canon as part of an advertising campaign. He took a speaker, covered it in a membrane and placed paint on the top. Playing sound out of the speaker caused the membrane to vibrate; throwing the paint up in the air which was captured using a camera rotating around it at high speeds. There's a great video of the process:

It looks like a jump-ball.

I can't help but think of this old movie I watched with my brother as a kid. I can't remember the name, something master. In the beginning this kid wanders into a building and gets hit with a wave of color paint.

[–]thefuzz001 0 points1 point ago

The Page Master. Made me think of the same exact scene.

[–]Shortbutlucky 0 points1 point ago

It looked like the statue of liberty from a quick glance at the thumbnail.

[–]Zerble 1 point2 points ago

I call it "paint".

You can thank me later.

[–]RazZaHlol 0 points1 point ago

It is called paint drops.

[–]Rasheeke 0 points1 point ago

You should probably call it by the title the original artist made. Just go to the website you ripped this off of.

"Jumping Colors" by Markus Reugels

[–]Conreezy 0 points1 point ago

Reminds me of the library scene from the pagemaster

Unicorn jizz?

[–]one_two_many_lots 0 points1 point ago

I'm going to name it the first thing that popped into my head when I saw it; the wonderfully onomatopoeic "Sploot".

[–]INeedToPeeReallyBad 0 points1 point ago

Reminds me of Cirque du Soleil.

[–]OlivePineapple 0 points1 point ago

Looks like colored humans playing basket ball...

[–]iAmtheRealEthan 0 points1 point ago

Looks like the end of the Pagemaster movie.

[–]dannygallagher -1 points0 points ago

This is not just beautiful, this is amazing.

[–]Vefantur -1 points0 points ago

Well that just cheered me right back up.
