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), weight loss photos, posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. Weight loss photos go in /r/loseit, 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 bet you found it in your 'Found on Reddit' folder.

Or, you know, any other place on the internet. Literally could have been anywhere.

didn't one of those guys die after shooting this? or is that a myth? and by die I mean gets eaten by the lion

I heard that too, that he killed a trainer and was put down after this. That's two of us saying something, which means it's internet-true.

Am I the only one going WTF to the hair underneath the lion's belly?

[–]zapfastnet 0 points1 point ago

hmmmm

this does look like maybe it was added by the makeup/wardrobe people to mask the lion wang.

In the comments for one of the last go rounds of this pic on reddit i don't remember anyone noticing this.

It IS obviously staged by a photographer | the camera is too close and not even pointed at the lion.

Oh Gawd, I didn't realize this was someone taking a picture of a picture.

So, my question, where is the picture of someone taking a picture of a picture?

[–]zapfastnet 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

What i meant was that this was a staged picture of shooting the MGM lion --- not the actual occurrence of recording the lion's roar.

[–]ejrizo 1 point2 points ago

The MGM lions were from my home town of El Monte, CA.

There used to be a place called Gays Lion Farm

Fortunately, MGM was forced to rewrite its policies regarding the treatment of interns after this shoot.

That's Slats, the lion.

The bus tour guy in Dublin claimed the lion's name was Steve and he was from the Dublin zoo.

[–]toddriffic 1 point2 points ago

My wife confirms this every time we see an MGM movie. She spent a semester in Dublin and I swear that's the only thing she learned.

Other sources I found also state there were 5 lions, Slats, Jackie , Tanner, George and Leo. Slats was from Dublin Zoo. Maybe they just changed his name or something?

Good effort! Sources and everything, thanks.

But on the subject matter itself...no idea!

Right after that very shoot the lion killed his trainer...fun fact of the day.

My gramma always told me that they had to pull his tail to get him to roar.
