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.

I think last time this was reposted, we agreed that the bird was trying to defend its nest, and the cat killed it. Now there's baby birds with no parents.

Unless the cat found the nest. Then there would be no baby birds.

I missed this the last few times; but that certainly makes the most sense

[–]Jaws666 0 points1 point ago

That makes more sense than my theory: I assumed the bird was a dick who got what he deserved. :P

[–]MisterSquirrel 0 points1 point ago

On the positive side, this might help that species of bird evolve better ways of defending their nests.

wait, I thought /r/funny is where /r/pics reposts go to die, not the other way around.

The bird was most likely protecting its nest, which is apparently usually on the ground from what's been said in other threads.

I came in to write this, I felt bad watching that bird die knowing that with it would go its young too.

Human domestication of animals.

[–]GowsenBerry 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yes, because before domestication cats were docile animals that lived in peace with birds and mice and fed on various twigs and leaves.

[–]khouros -2 points-1 points ago

Human domestication and introduction of cats to an environment that they were not native to before causes local problems, regardless of the african wild cat's behavior in it's local ecosystem.

You are an idiot.

[–]GowsenBerry 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

That's not domestication though, that's simply just an introduced species.

[–]khouros -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Are you trying to split hairs? Feral cats were domesticated long before they were introduced as an invasive species. The point remains that this isn't the same thing as a natural process outside human influence on local populations.
