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.

Look at that majestic human being

[–]Charming_Diplomat 2 points3 points ago

Look at that Austrian.

[–]kraaz 0 points1 point ago

The second Austrian to capture my heart!

[–]kraaz 0 points1 point ago

Lol who's that!? I was talking about my SO. Is this the mass murderer that everyone's talking about?

[–]Guamo 32 points33 points ago

You can tell he was nervous, but once he stepped outside of the capsule there was no pressure.

[–]Guamo 6 points7 points ago

At that height that was the lowest atmospheric pressure reading i've ever seen, BAR NONE!

[–]dredawg 1 point2 points ago

Im sure he understood the gravity of the moment.

[–]Piklikl 3 points4 points ago

What are the stats on the jump?

[–]stordoff 3 points4 points ago

Maximum speed was 833.9MPH (mach 1.24).

[–]RobertF23[S] 1 point2 points ago

I believe they are calculating the specifics now

Edit- 4 min 22 sec free fall

[–]mrpopenfresh 1 point2 points ago

He was falling at over 1000 km/h at one point.

[–]canadiahippie 4 points5 points ago

over 620 mph for those 'muricans out there

[–]Seriouslysoftpillow 5 points6 points ago

You people are so helpful and considerate. Thank you. For a moment I thought he went 1000mph.

[–]CrippleDrifting 0 points1 point ago

pretty close. he actually went 833 mph

[–]JohnCanada 4 points5 points ago

scumbag visor

[–]Cphilli45 1 point2 points ago

I thought he was saying "my visor is fucking up" at one point. I thought he was losing air and started panicking.

[–]riverstyxxx 3 points4 points ago

Oh, he is so getting laid tonight.

[–]Rolock 0 points1 point ago

Like he needed to jump from the stratosphere to do that.

[–]Crouchio 1 point2 points ago

Gary Oldman's talents know no end.

Don't hold back. Tell us how you really feel.

[–]ahtahrim 4 points5 points ago

ridiculously photogenic skydiver

[–]lostin2010 1 point2 points ago

Does anyone know what kind of watch he has on?

[–]Charming_Diplomat 1 point2 points ago

Another great man from Austria.

[–]Sabird1 1 point2 points ago

I can only think of three: An Astronaut, a mass-murderer and a terminator.

[–]Zoids 0 points1 point ago

I can see Zeniths new watch commercial. Something something this watch can survive in the stratosphere something something.

[–]nbyevu 1 point2 points ago

I was listening to this song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOeubljCOIA&feature=related) when I clicked on this, and I now feel it very appropriate.

To clarify, it's because he's super super hot.

[–]gobbledy__gook 0 points1 point ago

It looks like David Beckham and Liam Neeson had a baby. Look at that schhhhhhhmolder.

[–]SenorTy 0 points1 point ago

he slays all the poon.

[–]SingForMeBitches -1 points0 points ago

Jumps 24 miles above Earth, straight into our hearts.

[–]jupoe -1 points0 points ago

My brave ladyboner. :D

[–]BABYDERPETTE 0 points1 point ago

WANT

[–]CypherXPn 1 point2 points ago

This photo would make a good watch commercial. "Want to jump from space like me? Buy a Rolex." "Rolex, the official time keeper for insane skydivers."

[–]Tony339 1 point2 points ago

You guys might find interest in /r/HistoryBeingMade Basically it's just pictures of current moments that will go down in history.

[–]crshbndct 0 points1 point ago

I think I just ovulated.

I am a guy.

[–]deathbytray 0 points1 point ago

He used to be awesome. He's fallen so far.

[–]Flakbadger 0 points1 point ago

[–]Jabba_the_Mutt -1 points0 points ago

Even if the chute hadn't worked, his massive balls would have cushioned the landing.

[–]ILoveCamelCase 6 points7 points ago

Like this?

[–]Svarazics -1 points0 points ago

That was simply awesome! I admit, I cried for joy when he landed safely and on his feet! Great memory, thanks Felix and RedBull!

[–]nick041 1 point2 points ago

I'd be more impressed if he didn't have a parachute. What happened to the whole 'Red Bull gives you wings' shit?

[–]CornFedHonky 1 point2 points ago

You. Pandering. Whore.

[–]nxte 1 point2 points ago

oh look, another post about felix. I'll never understand why reddit is so desperate for karma.

[–]kretik -1 points0 points ago

"I don't always jump out of balloons, but when I do they're 24 miles in the stratosphere and I break the sound barrier coming down"

[–]riverstyxxx 0 points1 point ago

He did it for the show.

[–]DryCactus 0 points1 point ago

It's pretty Interesting to see now who gets to reap the karma.

[–]M0b1u5 -5 points-4 points ago

That's great and all, but I'm sorry: I can't congratulate someone with such a silly name. I shall just call him "Kittinger II".
