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.

This picture turns up every once in a while and few weeks ago I finally did some googling and it seems that this picture was taken from a book called "Josef Wissarionowitsch Stalin - Kurze Lebensbeschreibung" (Josef Wissarionowitsch Stalin - short live description), Publishing for russian literature in foreign languages, Moscow 1947 (source wikipedia). We all know how much the soviets enjoyed photo manipulation and propaganda so I'd say this is fake.

He also looks quite different in this picture.

Excellent detective work. Seriously, edit the wiki article on him or something

[–]oksenrose 0 points1 point ago

Came here to point out that the eyes in that picture are not the same size, you did better.

[–]clittoralzone 8 points9 points ago

no he didn't? what the fuck does "hipster" even mean to you?

he looks really attractive.

[–]lukalukaluka[S] 1 point2 points ago

I didnt say he looked bad, did I?

[–]crestonfunk 1 point2 points ago

On Reddit, usually hipster = "someone I wouldn't like if I ever actually met people but I don't because I don't leave my house."

[–]zach84 0 points1 point ago

Says the hipster (just kidding)

[–]fdhsagykufg -2 points-1 points ago

while hipster can carry different connotations...I think it's fair to say that if he looks like he could be a member of Mumford and Sons or Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes, etc., you can call him a hipster.

[–]Psykes -3 points-2 points ago

Look at him, he looks like any other hipster!
All he's missing is the ironic beard, which he already started to grow!

[–]doingthisforlulz 2 points3 points ago

Ridiculously photogenic dictator.

[–]Alexdoh 1 point2 points ago

You know, I doubt I would have kicked him out of bed. I wonder what r/ladyboners would think.

[–]JamoWRage 0 points1 point ago

In Russia, hipsters are always cool... fucking Russian weather -_-

[–]mckatface 1 point2 points ago

All the hipsters in this thread are getting angry because they just realized they dress like Stalin and are also hipsters.

[–]hipster_response -1 points0 points ago

'Hipster' is a term co-opted for use as a meaningless pejorative in order to vaguely call someone else's authenticity into question and, by extension, claim authenticity for yourself. It serves no conversational function and imparts no information, save for indicating the opinions and preferences of the speaker. Meanwhile, a market myth has sprung up around the term, as well as a cultural bogeyman consisting of elusive white 20-somethings who wear certain clothes (but no one will agree on what), listen to certain music (no one can agree on this either), and act a certain way (you've probably sensed the pattern on your own). Suffice it to say, no one self-identifies as a hipster; the term is always applied to an Other, to separate the authentic Us from the inauthentic, ironic Them. You can't define what that kind of behavior or fashion or lifestyle actually is, nor will you ever be able to. That's because you don't use 'hipster' to describe an actual group of people, but to describe a fictional stereotype that is an outlet for literally anything that annoys you. The twist, of course, is that if it weren't for your own insecurities, nothing that a 'hipster' could do or wear would ever affect you emotionally. But you are insecure about your own authenticity - 'Do I wear what I wear because I want to? Do I listen to my music because I truly like it? I'm certainly not like those filthy hipsters!' - so you project those feelings onto others. tl;dr: if you believe hipsters exist, you are a plebeian.

He's got a bit of a beard and a scarf, GET OFF THE FUCKING SERIOUS BUS.

[–]ftwjklol 0 points1 point ago

Fuck freedom and shit. Stalin was sexy.

"Am I going to the afterparty? Nah. I'm more about the Bolshevik party. You've probably never heard of it."

[–]RICH_LITTLE -1 points0 points ago

Quit Stalin, who is it?

[–]redweasel -3 points-2 points ago

Keanu Reeves really is immortal.

[–]Gothika_47 -4 points-3 points ago
