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.

May your house be blessed with upvotes of a thousand cats. Thank you, sire.

[–]spoonman1342 5 points6 points ago

Ask and you'll receive:1 2 3

[–]johnthedrunk 3 points4 points ago

You're more effective than Siri. Thanks

[–]The_Moustache 2 points3 points ago

This, I need to know more!

[–]bab5871 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, I didn't even hear of this until now...

[–]cycophuk 11 points12 points ago

Why would the police risk their lives to chase after a guy on a jet ski?

[–]Tony_fe 3 points4 points ago

To Protect and Serve. The seas are super dangerous in a hurricane, and being from NYC, which doesn't get very many hurricanes, there's a good chance he doesn't quite understand that. If he capsizes he's definitely going to be slammed into something very hard and very unpleasant.

That said, I'm from Miami and I've totally ridden a jet ski during a cat 2 hurricane. Wouldn't ride anything bigger for fear of capsizing, and wouldn't do it in any more extreme conditions, but man those waves are sweet.

[–]WildGinger701 6 points7 points ago

These are great shots. I hadn't seen such a comprehensive collection yet. The photo titled "Flooding at Newark Substation" is actually of the PATH station in Hoboken terminal though (in the same building as the 2nd picture).

[–]authENTicated_ 9 points10 points ago

Not in English but I just stumbled across this in another thread.

http://www.nrc.nl/inbeeld/2012/10/30/sandy-neemt-new-york-in/

[–]AnticitizenPrime 1 point2 points ago

OK, yeah, that's the best collection yet.

[–]PlasmaChemist -1 points0 points ago

You'd think a place called "Substation" would be better prepared for high water levels.

[–]raffytraffy 5 points6 points ago

looks...expensive to clean...

[–]ZombiesBeStylinOnMeh 2 points3 points ago

the flooding in Newark station is not actually Newark but Hoboken; you can see the big H on the pillar. Thought I should just clarify.

[–]metrognome64 4 points5 points ago

I call bullshit on this whole Hurricane Sandy thing!

This picture looks like it is taken from the backlot subway ride at Universal Studios.

There was never any Hurricane Sandy! Wake up Sheeple!

[–]purplejackets 3 points4 points ago

I thought that exact same thing...

[–]FarashaSilver 2 points3 points ago

As someone who used to live in NYC, these pictures are amazing and heartbreaking. I'm still waiting to hear from many friends who were trapped on the island for the duration. Fingers crossed.

[–]Vimzor 2 points3 points ago

At least NYC will be cleaner for awhile!

[–]deadlysin687 3 points4 points ago

it actually just put more debris and trash into the street than before

[–]koeiche 0 points1 point ago

I think you all need to get your kayak and rafts out!

[–]purplejackets 1 point2 points ago

Picture 12: Just like the Earthquake ride at Universal Studios...minus the earthquake part. But the flooding is the same!

[–]minmax54 0 points1 point ago

So much garbage in the first pic, imagine the smell.

[–]MethodH22 0 points1 point ago

i guess that's one easy way to clean up the garbage off the streets.

[–]deadlysin687 0 points1 point ago

it put more on the streets

[–]NoTimeLikeToday 1 point2 points ago

As someone who saw some of the very first images of Katrina via the local news in Baton Rouge, I am heartbroken to see these images. We that survived that storm will be with you, and help you survive yours. It gets better. Hold strong, help is on the way.

[–]Careb 0 points1 point ago

SWAMPED BRO!!

[–]bynbyn 0 points1 point ago

I'm glad I live in Northern California right now.

[–]Silverkarn 1 point2 points ago

Anyone else amazed by the amount of garbage in the subway lines in the first picture?

[–]aequitas3 0 points1 point ago

So all the trash from that Jersey beach went into the MTA, and NOT Sweden.

[–]ReallyShouldStudy 0 points1 point ago

You have no idea how happy I am to be landlocked in Ohio.

[–]Bruneti12 -2 points-1 points ago

4th pic to the right.

Are those cars floating in blood?

Awesome!

[–]xKrazExMNUx -3 points-2 points ago

Lower Manhattan. No power

Full of power

[–]escalat0r 0 points1 point ago

And yet people still deny the climate change.

[–]Infamously_Unknown 0 points1 point ago

As an ignorant European, I actually just now found out how grave the situation is over there. Good luck to everyone affected. Just think about what an interesting story you'll have in ten years.
