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:

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.

You must be new here. What we do is take the top vid from /r/videos and gif them. Then post it to /r/pics (which isn't /r/gifs cause that's a double fuck you) for massive karma. Then OP probably checks his user page and jerks off to himself. That's a redditer.

You must be new here.

Redditor

[–]wade_station 1 point2 points ago

I've seen it spelled interchangeably so perhaps you are right. I don't take back the jerking off part though.

[–]OriginalityPolice 21 points22 points ago

[–]RichDavi 1 point2 points ago

At least they changed the title...

[–]lilsoyboy[S] -5 points-4 points ago

Sorry, saw it on tumblr and thought I should share. I'm new to reddit so I don't know how to see if its an oc or not

[–]OriginalityPolice 1 point2 points ago

Just go to http://karmadecay.com and search the URL of the image. If it hasn't been posted in the last month, then usually no one will care if it's been here before.

[–]lilsoyboy[S] 1 point2 points ago

Thanks man

[–]Solenka 10 points11 points ago

Why?

[–]KingWilson 1 point2 points ago

Now that you're older, try this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOakK59iKTA

[–]tenfifteen654 0 points1 point ago

That was Crazy Awesome!

[–]EveryWind 13 points14 points ago

What's the point if the water misses you?

I bet it would be awesome to get hit by that water if it was a hot day.

[–]Auzie 13 points14 points ago

I wish I had this now

[–]teaandstrumpets23 -3 points-2 points ago

Was about to say this exact same thing.

[–]Fast2Move 1 point2 points ago

Lazy Reposter: Reposts shit without capitalizing any words in the title.

[–]C0mmun1ty 2 points3 points ago

I don't get the point of this, you aren't getting hit by the water so why have it there?

[–]digbus 6 points7 points ago

Wish water wasn't so wasted in the world

[–]lbmouse 5 points6 points ago

The amount of water in the world is roughly the same before and after this was built.

[–]amoore 3 points4 points ago

Don't worry. It's raw sewage.

[–]sublimnl 1 point2 points ago

And toxic.

[–]johnnyquest88 5 points6 points ago

It looks really cool... but whats the point? its a swing set that has a timer to prevent you from getting wet from the sprinkler attached to the swing set? If you want to stay dry, the best innovation is to remove the sprinkler... in fact, they should make that! I want to market the first sprinkler-free swing set!!! This is gonna be big.

[–]knuckboy 0 points1 point ago

I want in. $50K to you, kind sir, for sharing your insparrattttiaaaannnnnn.

[–]mrkurtz 3 points4 points ago

nationwide drought.

fuck it, let's make a water swingset.

[–]wehted 1 point2 points ago

they're getting their feet wet on the downswing.

[–]CTbird86 -1 points0 points ago

Is the water on a timer, or a sensor?

[–]RichDavi 0 points1 point ago

I'd say sensor by the way the swinger on the right is going slower and the water goes slightly out of sync

[–]dudemann -1 points0 points ago

Logically, it'd only make sense to be a sensor. If it was a timer, your first 5-10 swings before you get up to speed would soak you, and then if you were off by a bit, you'd hit the water with each swing. The timing of the water makes me think it senses when you're at the peak of your forward/backward swing and cuts the flow for a second.

[–]tritonice 0 points1 point ago

More than likely it's just a simple valve that moves in sync with swinger. Rather than being an eye bolt / chain like most swings, it's probably a cam / axle that moves the valve and blocks the water. You will get wet until you get up to speed.

Just my guess based on how the water stops and starts.

[–]d139nn 1 point2 points ago

Is there not a very similar installation art piece at the Barbican at the moment?

Although the mechanism is different, this looks much more fun.

[–]kingpinjoel 1 point2 points ago

There's an entire room like this at an art gallery Link

Photos here

[–]Infogal -1 points0 points ago

No one is ever too old to have fun on a swing

[–]Solarazor 1 point2 points ago

This is the most useless thing I have ever seen.

[–]LeftoverBoots 0 points1 point ago

I've seen this three times today. Literally.

Go away, you karma whoring twat.

[–]obtix 0 points1 point ago

This was at Maker Faire in NY. Huge line but I waited to do it with my wife - was worth it!

[–]brussels4breakfast 0 points1 point ago

All you had to do was swing in the rain and try to miss the rain drops. : )

[–]DoctorMog 1 point2 points ago

Everyone bitched about the watch company selling their watches in bags of water...
But when we ADD RAIN to a fucking swingset, people trip over how fucking awesome it is.
You people piss me off.

[–]kirbyfood 1 point2 points ago

I wish I had this now

[–]g3lrod 0 points1 point ago

Wut.

[–]FinaL111 -1 points0 points ago

something tells me you would still get wet from the splash .

no bueno

[–]cicadawing 1 point2 points ago

Silly waste of water.

[–]Whichguy 1 point2 points ago

op is pathetic

[–]SillyShananagins -1 points0 points ago

I wonder if you can set it so when you swing through, you hit the water instead of there being a hole there. That would be awesome in the summer!

[–]MrBojo 2 points3 points ago

That would be cool, like instead of a constant stream it was just a small amount that hit you. I'm sure you can do it though, wouldn't be much different from this. Much more interesting use of water, this just seems wasteful and without purpose.

[–]rossryan 0 points1 point ago

Why do you hate fun?

[–]MrBojo 0 points1 point ago

I don't hate fun, but how is going through a hole in a stream of water any more fun than just normal swinging?

[–]rossryan 0 points1 point ago

Really? Have you never ridden Splash Mountain or a ride like it, where it looks like you're going to hit something, but suddenly do not? Similar idea here.

[–]Bob3333 -1 points0 points ago

I had that when I was younger ... 1 day younger.

[–]sandykins9392 -4 points-3 points ago

they get everything...all the coolest technology...

[–]lights25 -3 points-2 points ago

is this real life?!
