Submit your Halloween pumpkin pics to /r/horror's carving competition!

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.

What is this? Colored liquid for ants? ...

Oh, okay, it is.

[–]treebird9 13 points14 points ago

That's the beginning of Pikmin.

[–]REDDITvTIDDER[!] 3 points4 points ago

I thought it was the beginning of Christmas lights.

[–]maritacov 52 points53 points ago

Pikmin!

[–]ArgonGryphon 6 points7 points ago

[–]Moment0 1 point2 points ago

It appears we think alike.

[–]layzboy93 13 points14 points ago

Soooo, a race war will begin, and last for hundreds of years, then every so often two ants of different colour species will make forbidden love. This over the next hundred years or so will add up until eventually all colours mix and turn the ants roughly black. - you bastard!

[–]ugh_next 14 points15 points ago

Then a purple one walks by and you know he's been double dipping!

[–]doyouunderstandlife 21 points22 points ago

This is what, the 20th time this has been reposted?

[–]Mcturtles 1 point2 points ago

I'm beginning to think this really is the most reposted picture.

Well, that's more than i thought, but i wouldn't say the MOST reposted picture

[–]sarahbara2222 4 points5 points ago

the thing is it's only gotten enough points to make it on the front page twice besides this time, and those times were 1 year and 4 months ago. think about how much new traffic this website gets every day, and of the users who by chance didn't see a single picture in a single subreddit on a single day. all reposts are like this, they are not reposts to the majority of the users on this website.

[–]NarcissisticNerd 2 points3 points ago

I thought it was this one http://i.imgur.com/QhPzJ.jpg

[–]flailing_otter -1 points0 points ago

Thats actually the first time I've seen this one, unlike the countless times I've seen the orignal post. So thanks I guess

[–]Fuentidos 1 point2 points ago

I've never seen it.

[–]angry_squidward 5 points6 points ago

reeeeeepost.

[–]big_al11 14 points15 points ago

Translucent ants: trants.

[–]Toxyoi 10 points11 points ago

Thants trants

[–]Hydrolicious -1 points0 points ago

I prefer to call them trannies.

[–]BarelyLethal -3 points-2 points ago

ERMERGERD, TRANTS!

I'm sorry, please don't hurt me.

[–]ErnestPlethora 0 points1 point ago

This is making me thirsty.

[–]annieloux 0 points1 point ago

They look like little Christmas lights.

[–]Slashbat 0 points1 point ago

They're actually altaroth.

[–]impshial 0 points1 point ago

Here's the original article...

[–]Ghost_of_B_Cosby 0 points1 point ago

Also this

[–]impshial -2 points-1 points ago

I thought we all agreed we wouldn't post links to the Daily Mail......

[–]Simlo 0 points1 point ago

Thanks ants. Thants.

[–]BlockoManWINS 0 points1 point ago

i have never seen a version of this image where the quality didnt suck :(

[–]Devinator117 2 points3 points ago

Repost, common dude...

[–]ender4999 4 points5 points ago

thank you for not saying "transparent"

[–]NondairyDragon 6 points7 points ago

Repost...

[–]impshial 4 points5 points ago

Don't downvote this guy. This is one of the most reposted ant pictures on reddit, right up there with the racist ants.

[–]falsearrows 3 points4 points ago

For more information follow this link

[–]Mr_muu 2 points3 points ago

Honeypot ants :)

[–]Crodface 1 point2 points ago

Look at those green ants going for some of the blue. Those selfish bastards.

[–]XirtaeBoddiK 2 points3 points ago

Maybe they want to be aqua-ish!! That is wayyy cooler than blue or green.

[–]impshial 0 points1 point ago

They would end up SeaBlue, actually. Aqua would need an infusion of white.

[–]bl0odfire 0 points1 point ago

let the racism begin!!!!!

[–]bikesair 0 points1 point ago

All the east side ants know that if you mix the red shit and the blue shit you get the best flavor.

[–]nigol67 -1 points0 points ago

thats pretty cool

[–]nehilium -1 points0 points ago

Alright, who double dipped?

[–]wojx -1 points0 points ago

Get the ant killer.

[–]Brutalitarian -1 points0 points ago

The blue ones can swim, the red ones can live through fire, and the yellow ones can carry rock-bombs, right?

[–]sandman369 -1 points0 points ago

Yeah, I definitely read this as "Translucent Anus" at first glance. Still clicked it with haste anyway.

mildly disappointed

[–]bearinachinashop -1 points0 points ago

Proof that eating sugary foods goes straight to your butt.

[–]MLG_Jeff 1 point2 points ago

Translucent repost!

[–]SilentSymphony 0 points1 point ago

That one sucking the green that already has yellow just can't decide

[–]duganaok -1 points0 points ago

This picture is so old, and I've lose count on how any times it's been posted to Reddit. Down vote.

[–]niliti 0 points1 point ago

So this is how Army Ants came into being..

[–]itsamatteroftime 0 points1 point ago

Blue clearly tastes like shit.. I always knew it would...

[–]snowlion13 0 points1 point ago

cool idea

[–]randyrectem 0 points1 point ago

Those ants look pretty opaque to me.

[–]BeefSnakStik 0 points1 point ago

Translucants.

[–]brew-Fu 1 point2 points ago

Blue ants be drivin' day car like this, Hmhmmmhmmhm

And ya'll know we red ants be drivin' like this, "ohhhhhhhmmmmm"

[–]dksprocket 1 point2 points ago

Enchance!

[–]3van 1 point2 points ago

Thanks, ants.

Thants.

[–]Colby347 -2 points-1 points ago

Reminds me of Monster Hunter.

[–]YblocTrl -2 points-1 points ago

hehe... colby...

[–]Colby347 -3 points-2 points ago

Lol dude ur such a good troll bro u even made a hole knew a count just to troll me

Your other username /u/u_nillort is much better. More annoying, but better.

Please fuck off back to /b/.

I can't believe you made another account to follow me around and be annoying. How's being 15? Geez man your real life must be pretty empty.

[–]gary-the-fish -1 points0 points ago

I guess you could call them, translucANTS.
