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.

Dude. It's a whale.

That would be incredibly exciting.

[–]Space_Masters 14 points15 points ago

Don't whales attack ships, bite off legs, and murder entire crews?

[–]onseth 4 points5 points ago

No.

"When they're not busy ravaging the high seas, they're getting beached and rotting to death out of spite so nobody can enjoy the beach."

bwahahaha!

That's inappropriately delicious.

actually it's Photoshop get your facts straight.

[–]rlaptop7 4 points5 points ago

Maybe.

I ran the image through the standard image forensic software, this was the result:

It looks conclusive. It's a whale.

[–]rlaptop7 -2 points-1 points ago

Yeah? Well you tell me what I'm eating at the seedy Japanese place, because there is no way that I'm spending that kind of money on "not whale" sushi.

mmmm, whale.

[–]WhalesAreNotReal -2 points-1 points ago

just cause you order chicken nuggets at McDonald's doesn't make it chicken. just cause you eat at panda express it doesn't mean you're eating panda

[–]wahinelf 6 points7 points ago

I too have whale phobia.

[–]Late_80s 2 points3 points ago

We are not alone.

[–]ShiinChan 2 points3 points ago

I too am terrified of whales.... I would much rather swim in shallow water with sharks.

[–]annaqua 1 point2 points ago

I'm afraid of them because they're so incredibly amazing. I have more respect for whales and the ocean than I have for anything else.

[–]onseth 3 points4 points ago

I'd be thrilled. This would be something I've been fascinated about since childhood. Being near the biggest mammals on this planet.

[–]boba714772 0 points1 point ago

yeah that thing is fucking huge!

[–]misterbuckets 1 point2 points ago

Especially if I was a windsurfing plankton.

[–]FromTheId 0 points1 point ago

I know! Here I'd be just swimming around, and some bipedal hairless ape with a kite and a piece of plywood's skipping across the top of the water?!

Hey asshole, I'm eating here!
