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.

  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.

FYI: This photo is from 2010, South Korean Marine Corps’ amphibious vehicles and the Navy’s Landing Platform Helicopter ship ‘Dokdo’ (behind) take part in a mock landing operation in the sea off Incheon, west of Seoul, September 15, 2010.

http://blogs.reuters.com/oddly-enough/2010/09/16/can-a-pilot-get-some-respect/

[–]stumpster 28 points29 points ago

I attended this event with my grandpa, it was a commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the Incheon landing. He was in the first wave of landers at Incheon and gave a speech prior to the mock landing here. It was a pretty nifty event, although of course the next day North Korea said the reenactment was a bunch of warmongering and whatnot.

[–]moltenrocks 2 points3 points ago

do you know what's that can-like object (to the bottom left of the burst) in air? is it a shell?

[–]_Gryphon_ 2 points3 points ago

Yeah. Part of the smoke grenade that went off there.

At least, I think it's a smoke grenade.

[–]AerialAmphibian 6 points7 points ago

That's a nice looking ship. In particular I like this picture. It's a good profile view of the whole vessel with choppers on the deck. Thanks for the info!

[–]glucoseboy 4 points5 points ago

Hah! we both like the same pick of the Dokdo! It's got amazing lines, very modern and sleek looking IMHO. Thanks for doing the additional research.

Oh what the hell, since we're all sharing explosions today. Here's one from the army. Not smoke but impact from a high explosive 155mm artillery shell. Taken on Jerkin in Norway. Insert loud noice

[–]Naggers123 14 points15 points ago

That's one mighty explosion from jerkin

[–]amtracdriver 5 points6 points ago

Yeah it was pretty intense, we were stuck there for a month in one stretch, shelling day and night. It was a big effort to train the norwegian special forces before they went to afghanistan. The picture above was taken by one of the guys registrating where our shells hit. I was stationed as a reloader on one of the six m109s.

[–]Naggers123 11 points12 points ago

You must of been firing off a lot of loads.

The first time I saw this image somewhere, the favorite caption was:

"To instill maximum fear, Cthulhu always materializes into the world asshole first."

[–]rasputine 42 points43 points ago

Which is strange...because Cthulhu is always in the physical realm. He just lies dormant below the waves.

[–]Inquisitor1 8 points9 points ago

He is not exactly in the physical realm, he isn't made of physical matter as we know it. You could drive a boat right through him like jello.

[–]rasputine 6 points7 points ago

Do you have a lovecraft reference for that? I have seen no reason to believe he is not a physical creature. Strictly speaking, he is also capable of bending the minds of men, and bending reality, driving a boat through him does not indicate that he is insubstantial, only that he wanted a boat to drive through him.

[–]TristantheGreen 1 point2 points ago

The boat business is part of The Call of Cthulhu; he gets rammed and his head split open, but immediately begins reforming. He was inconvenienced by this, and I presume that he would've rather had it not happen.

[–]Heimdall2061 5 points6 points ago

The Overweightrix

[–]Kriieod 9 points10 points ago

Smoke screen carts, common especially on tanks. When something detects an incoming IR or infrared signature the launcher pops off a few of these to interfere with the targeting signature. Or can be done manually when a screen is desired. There's been a lot of advancement and fielding of man/boat portable versions of this.

Here's an example. http://www.wegmannusa.com/pages/76mm.html

Actually talked about this item this morning in our daily ordnance brief.

[–]RealClassy 10 points11 points ago

This is what is being detonated. 66mm mk1 m0 From this AAV7A1

[–]Davepen 9 points10 points ago

Shit, those guys unbuttoned in that AAV look a bit close to that explosion?

[–]smygdamp 29 points30 points ago

It may be a little more sophisticated than that. Just a little.
