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.

Relevant XKCD this is how I see the world as an American.

[–]onthefailboat 18 points19 points ago

I think that's how most Texans think about America as well.

If you're driving through Texas, it's accurate.

They're brown people speaking one of the romance languages where you end every word with a vowel. For instance:

Italian:    chiude sempre la finestra prima di cenare.  
Spanish:    siempre cierra la ventana antes de cenar.

Yeah, it's a broad stroke, but that's the point of the OP.

[–]FuriousBilly 1 point2 points ago

I was joking. I myself am a Latino, and I get very upset when people think Venezuela is a state in Mexico. :|

Ahh... gotcha.

An Italian friend of mine was really annoyed when she was was filling out a form in the US when the official said her ethnicity should be "hispanic" rather than European... ರ_ರ

I'm half Italian and the whitest person you've ever seen, but maybe it has something to do with the fact that I never go outside for more than 5 minutes at a time.

First several comments I read in this thread:

I bet those Americans/Europeans don't even know where state/country is.

I don't know… that Europe map looks quite detailed.

Also, have Americans really forgotten that it was France fighting with and supplying them in the War of Independence?

Yes they have.

They also forgot about Napoleon, where a Frenchmen nearly conquered the world.

To Americans, France = "that country we saved in WWII"

Acctually I'm european and I pretty sure I can point out every single state of the US on a map.

You should hurry, they have plans on implementing this new rule, only people with special card will be allowed to buy stuff, and to get that card you will have to go through various tests and examinations to determine whether you can use stuff responsibly. And buying illegally is not cool, they often sell poor quality crap.

This is pretty true... one time when I was in Europe I told someone I was from Seattle and they went around telling people about how I'd come all the way from California.

Italy has no label. May I suggest "Pizza".

[–]Robo_Pope 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I don't think many Americans would associate pizza with Italy.

This is my personal best attempt at American geography. Stuff in brackets is mostly first things that come to mind when I think of each place.

(South African here)

[–]down_vote_magnet 0 points1 point ago

Wrong.

Americans don't know about England, Scotland and Wales. It's just "Britain" or "you Brits".

[–]keiyakins 0 points1 point ago

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

That's the point... the entire island is labeled as England...

I'm British and know where every state is and can name every state capitol. Exception that proves the rule!

You lived in the US?

[–]Hoobleton 1 point2 points ago

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

Nope, though I have visited 3 times, i'm just an Americanophile who also enjoys learning simple information with little practical application, learning to states and capitols seemed obvious. If my career (Law) wasn't so country-specific i'd probably move out to the US.
