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 don't understand what that was intended to be. Am I just that dirty?

[–]Princess_Little 44 points45 points ago

You are supposed to use two fingers to pet the sharks.

[–]Wolfosaurus 110 points111 points ago

I'm supposed to fucking guess that from that billboard?? As a graphic designer I gotta say that is some terrible design/advertising.

[–]Princess_Little 15 points16 points ago

It was the second or third, maybe more, time that exhibit came to town. Most people in the area had seen it or heard out on the radio. You weren't supposed to figure it out, you were supposed to already know.

[–]Wolfosaurus 27 points28 points ago

I suppose if it's part of a larger campaign then it's a bit more understandable. Because it seriously looks like they're just inviting people to fingerbash marine wildlife.

[–]lurk3000 1 point2 points ago

I've heard finger bang and even finger blast, but finger BASH? that just sounds rude. :)

[–]ehurstmvp 4 points5 points ago

I literally just did this when I pet some sharks last Saturday at the Indy Zoo, and I still couldn't imagine what it was trying to say.

[–]PARSLEYsage 2 points3 points ago

That was at least better than:

GUESS WHAT'S COMING (nsfw, little gory)

[–]Cptn_Hook 8 points9 points ago

Guys! She crashed her jet ski into my back! I'm carrying her to shore -- go get help! NO! Don't worry about me! Just go call an ambulance!

[–]Avalon81204 2 points3 points ago

Is that real? Looks fake as fuck.

[–]BoOnDoXeY 1 point2 points ago

IIRC it was from the 2nd or 3rd Jaws movie.

[–]Baking 6 points7 points ago

All I can think is that if you only use two fingers to pet the sharks and they bite them off, you still have a few left over.

[–]ImNotGoodInEnglish 2 points3 points ago

Why?

[–]willcheat 0 points1 point ago

Is that what they are calling it now?

[–]thelibrarina 0 points1 point ago

Plus, the way the two fingers stick up looks kind of like a shark's fin...

[–]guyver_dio 0 points1 point ago

I thought it was like a person raising their hand to answer the question

[–]holger-danske 12 points13 points ago

It's an advertisement for the new "Milk a Shark's Prostate" attraction.

[–]jakenbake 0 points1 point ago

oh, thanks for clearing that up!

[–]twoclose 1 point2 points ago

The two fingers are representing a shark fin rising above the water. It has nothing to do with petting sharks -_-

[–]cincodenada 0 points1 point ago

I thought it was just supposed to be someone raising their hand all...awkwardly and weirdlike. The hell, sharks?

[–]bhughes89 23 points24 points ago

lots of Cincinnati referenecs this month. i dig it

[–]ewat85 6 points7 points ago

deciding whether to agree with the sentiment or disparage you for counting northern KY as Cincinnati....

[–]Zuhalter2000 6 points7 points ago

People in Cincy come to the levee for fun... Let us in your group :(

[–]librarycynic 3 points4 points ago

NKY: Cincinnati's New Jersey.

[–]DaBMan43 1 point2 points ago

Sir/Ma'm, I do not appreciate my great state being compared to New Jersey. It's nothing against New Jersey.... Wait...... Yes it is.

Regardless, know that your comment was unappreciated, however I won't downvote you for a contradicting opinion.

[–]keister 2 points3 points ago

  • Cincitucky. We are one.

[–]PlasmaBurns -1 points0 points ago

If you don't include Northern Kentucky, Cincinnati doesn't have a major airport. I also don't see people trying to exclude Jeffersonville/Clarksville from Louisville.

[–]mikemcg -1 points0 points ago

And here I thought they were talking about the aquarium in Newport, Oregon.

[–]BigGulpsHuh7 -1 points0 points ago

what other cincy references have their been? Im a native in chicago now, but would enjoy seeing what has been posted

[–]Kywammy 19 points20 points ago

I wonder why I haven't seen this. I live 10 min from the Newport aquarium.

[–]1rt3hdr4v3n 9 points10 points ago

As do I >> << Who are you? THE GAME IS AFOOT!

[–]Jakestab 8 points9 points ago

Are we talking about the Newport, Oregon aquarium?

[–]IntergalacticMuffin 12 points13 points ago

Newport, Kentucky! I live 10 minutes from there as well.

[–]Zuhalter2000 7 points8 points ago

NKY redditors report in for the hometown circlejerk

[–]IntergalacticMuffin 4 points5 points ago

Now I'm curious if I know any of you. NKY is a small place.

[–]junemeatcleaver 0 points1 point ago

My dad is one of the divers at the aquarium! He loves his job and has yet to see anything dirty about this sign!

[–]IntergalacticMuffin 0 points1 point ago

Psshh we're probably homies. I had a season pass for myself and my daughter. Yeah, I'm a kickass mom.

[–]keister 0 points1 point ago

Reporting from Florence KY for the circlejerk.

Also curious where this is. I commute to downtown every day via i75 and have not seen this billboard... and would have definitely noticed it.

[–]Avalon81204 0 points1 point ago

I think its just outside Cinci on 75 heading south.

[–]1rt3hdr4v3n 0 points1 point ago

Erlanger kentucky, we're neighbors!

[–]librarycynic 0 points1 point ago

Reporting from Bellevue.

[–]enlightened14 1 point2 points ago

Hebron, I brought lube!

[–]Me_hav_ADD 1 point2 points ago

I'm from Cincinnati. I used to valet cars on the Newport levee. Never fingerbanged any sharks while I was there though.

[–]1rt3hdr4v3n 0 points1 point ago

Wow, theres one in newport oregon? Cause theres one in Newport, Kentucky.

[–]Jakestab 0 points1 point ago

Well, it's actually called the Oregon Coast Aquarium, but it's in Newport.

[–]Kenny_Bania_ 2 points3 points ago

Probably because this is a pretty old picture of one of their billboards. They had a "pet the sharks" thing where you did this. Can't remember when they first started it, but it was a few years ago.

[–]KoNy_BoLoGnA 7 points8 points ago

your username seems contradictory somehow....

[–]LaziestNoveltyAcct 1 point2 points ago

anal penetration I reckon

[–]mindbleach 7 points8 points ago

Girl Scouts? Boy Scouts use three fingers.

[–]fanboat 0 points1 point ago

I thought it was (on the boy side) 2 for Cub scouts, 3 for WeBeLoS (like a 'W'), then you graduated to 4 for scouts. It's been a long time for me, though, and who's to say how accurate my scout leader was. I was a Cub then Webelos, then I took like 2 days of Scout and quit (our local program wasn't appealing).

Now I've googled it like I should have done in the first place, indeed, scouts use 3 fingers. Cubs (typically) use 2.

[–]DeusExMachinist 15 points16 points ago

That was schlick.

[–]kyline2 14 points15 points ago

I do believe that is the letter 'u' in American Sign Language.

[–]BorgImplants 12 points13 points ago

So is u coming or ain't u?

[–]HolographicMetapod 8 points9 points ago

Guess What's Coming?

U.

Something about that still doesn't sound right.

Kentucky ftw

[–]RedHawk77 0 points1 point ago

Hell yes! GO BIG BLUE!

[–]thatguy73 1 point2 points ago

Great ad for prostate exams.

[–]Tartantyco 3 points4 points ago

A million gallons of fun.

Oh, I bet.

[–]drschlock 3 points4 points ago

TIL there are quit a few redditors in the Cincy area

[–]DaBMan43 0 points1 point ago

For those in the Cincy area: http://www.reddit.com/r/cincinnati/

For those specifically in NKY http://www.reddit.com/r/NorthernKY/

[–]sincitypunk 0 points1 point ago

yeah seriously.

[–]saintbargabar 3 points4 points ago

Am I the only one that's gonna mention that those are a child's fingers? ಠ_ಠ

[–]shannonigans__ 2 points3 points ago

It's more effective to use the middle and ring fingers. You can get better leverage and get all up in there better.

[–]foucaults_uvula 1 point2 points ago

I'm going to remember this pro tip.

[–]Reisor 0 points1 point ago

That moment when you check OPs histoy and see that he's a dude.

[–]vmulber 2 points3 points ago

Something's fishy

[–]ChikiParm 1 point2 points ago

I live so close to this and never would have given it a thought. Reddit has opened my eyes to a whole new Dirty world!

[–]Vwartenbenschnuggen 0 points1 point ago

So, we're just going to let that title slide, huh?

[–]dijitalia 0 points1 point ago

How are fingers even related to aquariums?

[–]voodoooctopus 0 points1 point ago

you can keep your 'million gallons of fun'...

[–]sperelli 0 points1 point ago

Straight to jail. That's a child's fingers...

[–]JakeTheHawk 0 points1 point ago

sowhydontyoublowme

This got less fun real fast.

[–]StringLiteral 0 points1 point ago

I just hope that less than a million gallons of fun will be produced.

[–]vynusmagnus 1 point2 points ago

I read the title of your post; I couldn't help but notice you misused the semicolon.

[–]A_British_Gentleman 1 point2 points ago

Going by your username, I'd worry if your title is true.

[–]legendary79 0 points1 point ago

One Thousand Years of Pain!

[–]brazijl 1 point2 points ago

"a million gallons of fun"

ಠ_ಠ

[–]guenther_ 1 point2 points ago

Yeahhhh Cincinnati!

[–]SoupermanPants 1 point2 points ago

Cincinnati billboards for the win

[–]iTz_Chanch 0 points1 point ago

"A Million Gallons of Fun"...not for no reason

[–]slimjames 1 point2 points ago

I like the subtitle:

A million gallons of cum!

[–]pclayk 0 points1 point ago

Hahahah ahhhh that made my morning...

[–]WiseCynic 0 points1 point ago

This post is oddly titled considering it was posted by somebody named "SoWhyDontYouBlowMe".

[–]KingKane -1 points0 points ago

Aw yiss.

[–]ferox1 1 point2 points ago

Yes, you're supposed to use 2 fingers only to pet the sharks. Also, "looks" like a shark fin above water.

Strange to see something related to me on reddit...

[–]vadgetism 0 points1 point ago

Those are... little kid fingers... I found pedobear! Pedobear here!! Guys! Guys!!!!

[–]schuhshine 1 point2 points ago

fingering.... and your username?

sounds like a fun night in

[–]Cognoggin 0 points1 point ago

Dolphin Jesus shall return, are you AKEEKKKEEEREEEEE‽

[–]PacoBedejo 0 points1 point ago

All I can see...

[–]flintwoodington 0 points1 point ago

I thought those were the fingers used to please a huge whale

[–]krsmith 0 points1 point ago

I I think the fingers are suppose to symbolize the majestic nature of fish and some shit like that

[–]candiekane 0 points1 point ago

I was going to guess Boy Scouts, but I see where the "two fingers to pet the sharks" thing comes into play.

[–]nautikal 0 points1 point ago

That awkward moment when OP has posted as a 17 y.o male in /r/amiugly

[–]CraftyWilby 0 points1 point ago

When I read the OPs user name I sing it in my head, Beck style. "I'm a loser baby, sowhydontyoublowmeeeeeeeh?"

[–]o0tenaciousC 0 points1 point ago

Weirdly OP is male as seen in his history, and he claims to have had girlfriends, so why is he taking 2 fingers is his stinkstack?

[–]Sariel007 1 point2 points ago

You know why women should use these two fingers to masturbate? Because they're mine.

[–]OrDidI 0 points1 point ago

Gotta put that pinky up.

[–]DippDippDipp 6 points7 points ago

That would be... shocking.

[–]DJspinningplates 0 points1 point ago

I will try. Scout's honor.

[–]The_Mosephus 2 points3 points ago

3 fingers....

[–]DJspinningplates 3 points4 points ago

Not for Cub Scouts. Plus, in my experience 3 fingers doesn't go over as well.

[–]remhawk99 0 points1 point ago

Well if you're go on to Venture crew it's four...

[–]SansGray -1 points0 points ago

Did you steal this from Tumblr, or did Tumblr steal this from you?

[–]aforsberg 2 points3 points ago

Yes.

[–]OriginalUsername1 1 point2 points ago

Plot Twist: Op is a guy.

[–]tzneetch 3 points4 points ago

guys have prostates. go educate yourself

[–]OriginalUsername1 0 points1 point ago

Are you implying I didn't already know that because of a joke?

[–]foucaults_uvula 0 points1 point ago

Yes. And they are magnificent glowing orbs of orgasm magic. I'm glad I have one. And I'm straight.

[–]CornFedHonky -3 points-2 points ago

Let me get this straight, you are a guy ...and you want those fingers used on you? I feel uncomfortable.

[–]mcellucci -3 points-2 points ago

2 in da paaaaank!

[–]mahacctissoawsum -2 points-1 points ago

1 in the staaaaank?
