For an image subreddit with fewer restrictions, check out /r/misc!

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.

  6. No animated images. Please submit them to /r/gif, /r/gifs, or /r/reactiongifs instead.

  • 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.

It is September 2012. Hitler's Third Reich Special Armored Division reaches Poland's border to commence the dreaded blitzkrieg attack. No one saw it coming.

This image is funny because the turtle looks like he is going to war, as he has a helmet covering its shell. What is more hilarious is that it is being labelled as the "Real Life WARTORTLE" which is an amusing pun on the word 'Turtle'

Pre-emptive answers to possible follow up Questions:

1) WARTORTLE is a pokemon character

2) No Pokemon are not real

3) Explanation of what a Pokemon is

4) Explanation of what a Turtle is

5) Explanation of what War is

Pokemon are not real?

The commitment's real. The challenge is real. The desire to be the very best is real. The love you and your pokemon have for each other is real.

I know what I felt. I remember that stormy night on Route 6 where we kept warm around Charmander's flame. I remember the cold damp halls of Pokemon Tower. You can't tell me that wasn't real!

I just got to reading "War" in the encyclopedia. Now I an inexplicably sad, despite having already read articles like "Armenian genocide", "Bosnian genocide", "Chechen war", "Darfur conflict", "Ethnic cleansing", "Final solution"...

Yours, Leeloo

2) No Pokemon are not real

So that means all Pokemon are real.

This was my picture for my fantasy football team last year. They were the "East European Sea Turtles." Ignore the fact that it is not a sea turtle please.

I wonder how much stock the military puts into designing machines that can carry payloads in an armored container, like a robot turtle. Reminds me of that old 'big dog' project
