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.

Why does one of the piglets not have a snout?

[–]neillium 13 points14 points ago

From what I can gather, the USB Male end is retractable.

[–]Brasso26 11 points12 points ago

oh, i thought they were supposed to kiss each other.

[–]HurricaneHugo 0 points1 point ago

It's going to die from starvation.

[–]schondreum 106 points107 points ago

I would think Reddit would like this one better.

[–]themonkeygrinder 66 points67 points ago

I don't know, bacon vs cats.

[–]Mrs_Brisby 43 points44 points ago

Bacat?

[–]SnipeCaliber 12 points13 points ago

It's horrifyingly beautiful.

[–]NekomimiNinja 3 points4 points ago

How can it be terrifying and hilarious at the same time?!

[–]mmPete 2 points3 points ago

Now I don't know if should kill and eat it, or hug and cuddle it.

I've never felt more conflicted in my life.

[–]Lizardizzle 36 points37 points ago

At least this one is biologically accurate. The piglets can't suckle with the mom's laying like that!

[–]skdslztmsIrlnmpqzwfs 13 points14 points ago

you strive for biological accuracy... but are ok with animals having an USB port on their noses?

[–]Scuttlebuttz93 7 points8 points ago

This was my thought as well, but maybe they're just scrambling to try and suckle momma's teet but she isn't in the mood. The pigs are definitely much cuter though. The mom laying on her stomach would bother me though.

[–]fateswarm 0 points1 point ago

THANK YOU DWIGHT.

[–]Felicity_Saucypants 12 points13 points ago

I'm rather partial to this one.

[–]veracosa 0 points1 point ago

me too! although there should be 1 piece that is burned.

[–]CodyModo 1 point2 points ago

Are the cats/ piglets flashdrives?

[–]whilst 28 points29 points ago

Yup! They also can output s-video

[–]CodyModo 9 points10 points ago

This.... I would want this.

[–]exoplasm 5 points6 points ago

Love the cat's expression.

[–]whilst 1 point2 points ago

"what are you, stupid?"

[–]8bitAntelope -1 points0 points ago

Yep. I believe the momma cat/pig is one of those things you plug into your USB drive that has a bunch of them on it, so you can turn your one USB drive into three. Or however many are on it.

EDIT: Maybe not. Those slots look too small for a USB thing to plug into.

[–]CodyModo 0 points1 point ago

Well they have the ports, wonders if they're just fillers, or functional.

[–]Caplet 1 point2 points ago

Must Have!

[–]HappyGrandPappy 0 points1 point ago

I know it's the same idea, but for some reason it looks like the kitty one is vomiting a cheese grater.

[–]oh_mos_definitely 25 points26 points ago

Where can I get this and how much?

[–]I_HATE_SHARK_WEEK 13 points14 points ago

It's just a concept by these folks. www.officechums.com

[–]CompactusDiskus 5 points6 points ago

It's clearly a rendered image. So it probably does not currently exist.

[–]wongaroota 4 points5 points ago

It turns out to be a rendered image, but it is nothing remotely close to being "...clearly a rendered image."

[–]greg19735 8 points9 points ago

but it's a lot harder to show superiority without talking down to someone.

[–]pig_is_pigs 0 points1 point ago

I'd say it's pretty obvious. Unrealistic lighting and material textures, an absolutely perfectly unblemished wooden surface with clear reflections. A USB plug that is incorrectly proportioned, even. Even without experience in modeling, there's a decent amount of uncanny going on.

[–]indiffering 1 point2 points ago

If you look at the male USB on the piglet, it's very obviously rendered. Definitely not metal.

[–]Wombmate -1 points0 points ago

I don't know, I thought it was pretty obvious. Looks like Toy Story.

[–]bobbyllama -2 points-1 points ago

No, it's pretty clearly rendered.

[–]sirarkane 1 point2 points ago

relevant

[–]meeu 34 points35 points ago

why exactly do you need 3 usb thumb drives on one PC

[–]floridaderp 147 points148 points ago

I guess the target customer is a "data hog."

I'll show myself out.

[–]Joanbuggy 8 points9 points ago

That went a bit sower.

[–]INSULTS -5 points-4 points ago

That was a sloppy joke.

[–]messarosh 1 point2 points ago

i guess people dont know that slop is fed to pigs.

[–]INSULTS 2 points3 points ago

What a boar. I feel the gilt for humanity right now.

[–]CodyModo 7 points8 points ago

I'd use it on xbox.

[–]OldSpider 4 points5 points ago

Backups. If something happens to one, you'll still have two others with the data and in good working condition. Or perhaps you're making copies for other co-workers. ("You got that thing I sentcha?")

[–]MusicMagi 5 points6 points ago

Thumb drive, wireless mouse,wireless keyboard is pretty standard for me

[–]ZsaFreigh 1 point2 points ago

Some of them are bigger than others, I have 2 in the car, one for music, one for audiobooks. I have one for my Xbox, one for my BluRay Player, one for my TV (but picture slideshows rarely happen) and a bunch of little 4GB spares, that I don't mind giving away, so it's a portable way to share files with your friends. It's not unheard of to use multiple thumb drives.

[–]nman649 1 point2 points ago

You could plug other things into it though. And the other flash drive could just fill the empty space when not using the other outlets.

[–]Dannybaker 5 points6 points ago

why is there no "cliche post title" tag anymore?

[–]CodyModo -5 points-4 points ago

It's a concept http://www.officechums.com/

[–]StormShadow13 4 points5 points ago

I like this one and it's actually real, not just a concept

Toast

[–]DoughnutHolschtein 7 points8 points ago

There's a subreddit for that!

/r/shutupandtakemymoney

I've spent way too much money there...

[–]wongaroota 0 points1 point ago

Ah geez. Thankyou so much.....for pointing me in the direction of yet another addictive subreddit, albeit one where - when my glazed eyes eventually refocus- I get the added pleasure of realizing not only have several hours gone down the drain; a good portion of my finances have accompanied them.

[–]sympathetic_comment 8 points9 points ago

This is a rendering.

[–]CodyModo -1 points0 points ago

http://www.officechums.com/

[–]gunhorseunlimited 2 points3 points ago

....But what do they do?

[–]EasyReader 5 points6 points ago

It's a USB hub and thumbdrives.

[–]gunhorseunlimited 4 points5 points ago

Ah. Well it was obvious that the mother pig was a hub, but for whatever reason I didn't realize that the piglets were thumb drives..that makes sense.

[–]baddrummer 0 points1 point ago

Same here. I thought, Isnt this usb hub for other peripherals? WTF are those little pigs?

[–]gunhorseunlimited 1 point2 points ago

Yeah. But I guess if they're flash drives, it makes sense.

[–]ophello 1 point2 points ago

But, the photo wasn't saying anything...

[–]CasperTFG_808 0 points1 point ago

Stop the teasing and make this real

[–]brussels4breakfast 1 point2 points ago

Scroll down to see the link to the designer.

[–]Narroo 0 points1 point ago

Kinda of makes you wonder what being a suckling mother mammal would be like.

[–]Schobbo 0 points1 point ago

haha, that's cute

[–]emi420 0 points1 point ago

I think this kind of things are perfect for 3D printing

[–]multichrome 1 point2 points ago

Connecting a usb port to a usb port?

[–]tunamelts2 0 points1 point ago

But does it make good bacon?

[–]Vessix 1 point2 points ago

You'd love it until you realize those flash drives don't fit in the small spaces often required for flash drives.

[–]beanso 1 point2 points ago

I don't understand why people so desperately want stuff like this. Sure, looking at it once is nice because it's a novel concept, but would you really pay more than a traditional USB hub for this? After a week or two it would just be boring and you wouldn't look at it any differently than a regular USB hub.

[–]Sc2RuinedMyLife 0 points1 point ago

that's pretty cool! where can i buy it

[–]hambawlz 0 points1 point ago

downvoted for my getting my hopes up for a great christmas present for someone i know.

[–]silent_p 0 points1 point ago

Wouldn't that pig's teats be underneath her? How are her piglets eating?

[–]iSeize 0 points1 point ago

kinda takes away your man card

[–]AlanFromOhio 0 points1 point ago

Where. Where can I get this!! I need, in a real bad way.

[–]RedditBeGentle 0 points1 point ago

Am I the only one who realizes that this is made with 3DStudioMax? its a concept...

[–]fillashioking 0 points1 point ago

Warner Simon is taking your money Chazzz77
