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.

Never realized how many tanks were behind the closeup scene. Thanks.

[–]FOR_SClENCE 4 points5 points ago

He also jumped onto the tank, which a lot of people don't realize.

[–]phsyco 4 points5 points ago

Huh...heard about this a thousand times, and I never heard that.

Brave motherfucker if ever I saw one...

[–]WizzardLevelEcon 2 points3 points ago

he had a conversation with the tank commander while he was up there.

[–]lolants 14 points15 points ago

[–]canadianman001 0 points1 point ago

Did you notice the guy ranting in the comments about the time line being changed?

[–]magicbullets 14 points15 points ago

If ever you need to explain the word 'bravery' just use this.

Whenever I see it I wonder what happened to Tank Man. I very much doubt he lived for very much longer.

[–]nothing_pt 7 points8 points ago

From what i've read, they successfuly managed to bring him to America. I hope so. It was one of the most corageous acts i've seen in my life.

[–]plasmablast 15 points16 points ago

From what I've read, they just don't know. I'd like to think that he ended up being brought to America, but realistically he was probably killed or imprisoned shortly afterwards. He would be one hell of a guy to interview- I can only imagine how amazing his stories would be. I wonder if he knew how influential his actions would be. Hero.

AMA request

[–]Tossy_Salad 2 points3 points ago

Would probable need a Ouija board.

[–]meow_meowmeow 2 points3 points ago

so.. not completely impossible.

[–]twat69 0 points1 point ago

how would you ever verify?

[–]nikolifish 1 point2 points ago

Seems if he had gotten to America there wouldn't be much mystery who he is. Odds are dead or Chinese prison.

But here's hoping

[–]LtGeneralObvious 1 point2 points ago

oh wow, you can even see the student who jumped in their path in this picture.

[–]shanereid1 4 points5 points ago

The Amazing thing is that these pictures made it out at all.

[–]Hiphoppington 2 points3 points ago

I'd never considered that. That's an interesting thought.

[–]Jerryfizzlepop[S] 10 points11 points ago

Sorry for reposting :-(

[–]FenrirIII 7 points8 points ago

This is Reddit. Darn near everything is a repost.

[–]Jerryfizzlepop[S] 4 points5 points ago

True I guess. I tried searching the pic before I posted too. Never mind....

[–]court12b 3 points4 points ago

don't feel too bad. my first time seeing it. thanks.

[–]fence300 1 point2 points ago

As someone who had never previously seen this image, thank you for reposting.

[–]adlf 3 points4 points ago

Tanks for that, OP

[–]mikephreak 0 points1 point ago

I remember having to discuss this in an education lecture aimed at teaching the basics of P4C. We ended up having an interesting discussion about the value of actions despite their final outcomes. Good stuff.

[–]xSPYXEx 1 point2 points ago

Why don't you ask the kids at Tiananmen Square

Was fashion the reason why they were there

They disguised it, hypnotized it

Television made you buy it

[–]clgoh 1 point2 points ago

We were watching TV

In Tiananmen Square

Lost my baby there

My yellow rose

In her bloodstained clothes

[–]ExecBranch 1 point2 points ago

The sad thing is, in my history class filled with many AP students, I was the only one who knew when and what this picture means. I am the farthest thing from an AP student.

[–]kmate25 0 points1 point ago

Another awesome picture: http://i.imgur.com/d5GUV.jpg

[–]infiniteflashlight 1 point2 points ago

Does anybody have a higher res version of this? Like 1920x1080? It would be an awesome wallpaper.

[–]Mercathe -3 points-2 points ago

Communist regimes take a lot of pride in their tanks.

[–]Sweedo -4 points-3 points ago

That looks like the OWS and how it was put down.
