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.

Do you ever have that thing where just as you're falling asleep your whole body jerks? I always have THIS image immediately before -- a big red playground ball just about to hit me in the face. I'm 50.

[–]8opus 11 points12 points ago

Hypnic Jerk

[–]kungtotte 4 points5 points ago

So's your face!

[–]WrittenOnMyiPhone 2 points3 points ago

My twitch is usually tripping on a rock or a branch and falling.

[–]thfemale 2 points3 points ago

I get that same jerk feeling, but I get the image that I'm laying on a big horizontal slab, and it starts to tilt.

[–]firsthour 1 point2 points ago

[–]DarkyBoy 0 points1 point ago

OMG! So thats what it is!

I've had that for the longest time, but never had a name for it.

[–]justa_flesh_wound 14 points15 points ago

Daria?

[–]Harold_Grundelson 6 points7 points ago

La-la-la-la-laaaaaaa

[–]DoorMarkedPirate 3 points4 points ago

This is my life

[–]Kleptor 1 point2 points ago

[–]ForeverDownvoted 16 points17 points ago

It's hard to give a fuck about something that your brain has yet to register as having happened.

[–]I_HaveAHat 14 points15 points ago

ACTION BALL MOTHERFUCKER!

[–]NinjaRobotPilot 7 points8 points ago

NOW WITH 70% MORE ELECTRIC GUITAR RIFFFS UPON IMPACT!

[–]PolestarX 7 points8 points ago

Anyone else hear that "Ping" sound those balls make when looking at this?

[–]brkn613 6 points7 points ago

I don't always get a new pair of glasses, but when I do something always smashes into my face and bends them.

[–]pzearfoss 3 points4 points ago

Do not taunt actionball.

[–]XYMan28 2 points3 points ago

Mary Lynn Rajskub?

[–]avery51 0 points1 point ago

Maybe not in this frame.

[–]Kiba333 0 points1 point ago

NOT ENOUGH ACTION!

[–]Bsr5088 0 points1 point ago

To bad it's a completely planned shot. If you got to the original post it's all discussed there. This girl has a few random pics of her getting hit in the face with random objects.

[–]xymurr 4 points5 points ago

[–]dabezian 5 points6 points ago

The question is, where is the one of her taking .... to the face?

You know exactly what I mean.

[–]Obvious_Troll_Accoun 2 points3 points ago

A bullet?

[–]LibraryNerdOne 1 point2 points ago

[–]dabockster 5 points6 points ago

[–]LibraryNerdOne 0 points1 point ago

Very

[–]barium111 4 points5 points ago

Flick you you mother flickr.

[–]artiomchi -3 points-2 points ago

what's wrong with flickr? Besides the fact that it's not imgur >_>

Why all the hate?

I mean.. Reddit Enhancement Suite doesn't show you the previews for it, but that's not a big enough reason, is it?

[–]barium111 4 points5 points ago

Go flickr yourself.

[–]dabockster 0 points1 point ago

[–]artiomchi -4 points-3 points ago

As a matter of fact, I already did!

Jealous? :P

[–]Treemo 0 points1 point ago

I think the birds already left their nest, time to clean up

[–]chejrw 0 points1 point ago

that's not a big enough reason, is it?

Yes, it is. Fuck if I'm opening a new tab for each image in a discussion thread.

[–]Elementium 1 point2 points ago

Why are people throwing things at this poor girl?!

[–]dabockster -4 points-3 points ago

She wants the dick.

[–]1pnoe 1 point2 points ago

Facebook. You're doing it wrong...

[–]thfemale 0 points1 point ago

But that's how you knowledge, right? I hope I haven't been doing it wrong all these years...

[–]BTherese 2 points3 points ago

Bludger to the face with no fucks given? Sure sign of a Quidditch player.

[–]LibraryNerdOne 0 points1 point ago

Or a Hufflepuff?

[–]BTherese 1 point2 points ago

Or both!

[–]LibraryNerdOne 0 points1 point ago

=0

[–]Keylager 2 points3 points ago

Now with a wrench.

[–]anymooseposter 1 point2 points ago

If you can dodge a wench, you can dodge a ball.

[–]LORD_COOKIE_DOUGH -1 points0 points ago

Wow! she have really mastered the art of the honey badger

[–]chuperamigo -1 points0 points ago

ActionBall all in yo face.

[–]badphish94 1 point2 points ago

[Insert balls in the face joke here]

[–]HeWasAZombie 1 point2 points ago

This looks like a indie band album cover.

[–]unicyclegamer 1 point2 points ago

As someone who wears glasses, this makes me cringe.

[–]Phyzzx 0 points1 point ago

Live Action Action Ball!!!

[–]Mcfggy 1 point2 points ago

They really have a subreddit for everything these days...

[–]dabockster 0 points1 point ago

[–]Phantom99 0 points1 point ago

If she'd only read the warning!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Fun_Ball

[–]piasenigma 0 points1 point ago

looks fake, the face should be displacing an equal or greater amount of ball, considering the face is solid and much harder.

[–]Strid3r21 0 points1 point ago

"you've got a pimple on your face, here let me just get that for you"

[–]loneraver 0 points1 point ago

Great picture. Terrible title!

[–]Serule 0 points1 point ago

i don't think this is real, or even staged -- how the hell can anyone keep their eyes open that far into getting hit with something

[–]chairtard 0 points1 point ago

why can't I meet a girl like that?!! :'-(

[–]PowerKiegal 0 points1 point ago

It looks like she got rocked by that ball.

[–]MagCynic 1 point2 points ago

Perfect timing or planned shot?

[–]Turious 2 points3 points ago

Either way, very good timing.

[–]VolumeZero -1 points0 points ago

Or super glue and make-up.

[–]Barchen 2 points3 points ago

Why would you superglue a ball to your face, up into your hairline? Can you imagine taking that off?

[–]VolumeZero 0 points1 point ago

For the sweet, sweet karma.

[–]knowmeaning 0 points1 point ago

Pretty obviously a staged photo. This is all the rage these days, faking action shots.

[–]Eversooner -1 points0 points ago

She doesn't look happy about catching a ball to the face.

[–]VolumeZero -2 points-1 points ago

  • Slow reactions
  • Lack of peripheral vision
  • Boobs

Yep it's a woman.

[–]Cooliomanster 0 points1 point ago

Fucking. Run. She looks unphased by the ball as if shes staring through my soul with her eye that has the glasses on. Bad dum tiss!

[–]two_socks -1 points0 points ago

[–]wrathful_pinecone -3 points-2 points ago

I am sorry, but this picture has been around for years, and reposted probably hundreds of times.
