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.

How Pinteresting!

[–]Bigglefuzz 4 points5 points ago

I don't know about that. Crystal meth addicts seem to get pretty creative with light bulbs.

[–]mrspaceface 0 points1 point ago

I know where that is! thats in the project greenlight headquarters in louisiana! They go around replacing people's lights with compact fluorescents for free! If its not, they had the same thing there :)

I'm annoyed that I never think of cool stuff like this :S

[–]sillicia -1 points0 points ago

This is a great idea for a wedding.

[–]2dollarb -1 points0 points ago

Please don't do this with fluorescent bulbs.

[–]ijustfartedtwice -1 points0 points ago

Also a good in-home defense system. Falling light bulbs. Burglars never see it coming.

[–]I_Promise_I_Am_Lying 1 point2 points ago

Really? At its finest?

Not, for example, the Space shuttle, or a computer you can hold in the palm of your hand.

Not even the lightbulb itself.

No, a lightbulb someone has turned into a hanging vase...that's creativity at its finest.
