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:

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.

Too bad they didn't include Olivia Wilde...

I think the final result kind of looks like Olivia Wilde

It's a shame that none of those girls could actually have a kid that had had two of their genetics (not that they all aren't incredibly hot as it is!) Damn you genetics!

I can start masturbating more, will that speed up science?

[–]calculatedperversity 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

it's 100% possible, as far as I know. Chromosomes split and half the genes end up in one gamete, and half in the other. Both of these gametes end up as viable eggs. The same thing happens with sperm. I can't think of any reason why you couldn't reassemble 2 eggs into a viable zygote, since the eggs themselves are split (and contain copies of the original gametes that formed the mother).

It's not like each haploid only contains receptors that will only bond with the haploids of sperm...? (someone prove me wrong here; i'm not a geneticist)

The only thing is, they wouldn't have any y-chromosomes, so they'd only be able to have daughters. We'd be looking at the birth of a true amazon society; they wouldn't need men for anything. Except killing spiders and waging war.

I can. A viable zygote is produced after a sperm fuses with an egg. Also, gametes aren't original copies...think meiosis.

[–]calculatedperversity 0 points1 point ago

right, but what's IN the sperm? 13 diploid chromosomal pairs... The eggs don't produce identical sets of gametes (otherwise your chillens would all look very similar). Isn't it that each chromosome can split up in either in gamete 1 or gamete 2, giving you 226 possible combinations of your own genetics in each gamete? But if each chromosome can split in half and either results in a viable gamete, then I'd say the gender of the chromosomal contributors is irrelevant.

Yes, fertilization requires a sperm. But what if you take a sperm, remove its DNA, and replace it with the DNA from a woman's ova? My contention is that this will produce a viable offspring that has 2 biological mothers and no father.

Like I said, I'd welcome the chance to be proved wrong on this, but I'd need a citation, and not just an explanation (unless you're a master wordsmith and are well versed in genetics)

;)

[–]originally 0 points1 point ago*

I have no idea where you are pulling those numbers from. Human diploid number is 46, a diploid cell has 2 copies of 23 chromosomes. Gametes are haploid, having unique 23 chromosomes each (most of which are similar to another haploid chromosome, except the Y/X chromosome), since they undergo meiosis (basically mitosis twice, which cuts their number in half - along with genetic recombination). With the genetic recombination (cross-overs), the number of total permutations is not 226 (I'm not certain how you even got that).

And as for the 'replace sperm DNA with ovum DNA', it's not viable in the long run as I'm sure you can research inbreeding, and is currently beyond our technological/biologic capabilities. Which comes to another interesting point, I wonder if scientific breakthrough will produce an artificial womb first, or achieve self fertilization first.

haha after I read "right, but what's IN the sperm? 13 diploid chromosomal pairs..." I thought to myself that there's really no point in getting into a lengthy discussion here. You have lots of patience, originally.

This is actually a really cool chart. You can see what conventionally 'attractive' women have in common (at least facially).

[–]RandomHero13b 5 points6 points ago

I'll take either of the Love Hewitt breeds... or the progenitor.. ya know, whichever is easiest.

[–]iltat_work 1 point2 points ago

I definitely preferred the Duff/Love Hewitt/Alba/Biel product over the final product.

[–]Erazuu 0 points1 point ago

Every single one in the 2nd row (aka. the first merge) is stunning!

Although I'd destroy every single one on the chart.

The Hillary Duff and Jennifer Love Hewitt combo looks like Alyx Vance, of Half Life 2 fame.

[–]darthjochen 1 point2 points ago

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

I disagree, I see the Kruek/Moore synthesis as being much more Alyx Vance.

[–]muddythewaters 1 point2 points ago

You raise a good point.

[–]IsThisIconic 1 point2 points ago

Would the end result be the same no matter what the original order was?

And IMO I think the final product is attractive but not nearly as attractive as any of the originals. Very plain-hot.

I'm curious to know what the end result of this would be if you started with a few dozen unattractive women.

I wish the chart was just ALL Scarlett Johansson. Only then, would it be perfect.

[–]epix998 1 point2 points ago

This confirms my belief that Erica Durance is as near to perfect as a human can reasonably be. Compare to the runner-up photo on the left bracket:

I find the result to be the most plain and uninteresting looking person ever.

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points ago

I found it interesting. To me at least, it looked as though it still bears the most similarity to Jessica Biel.

[–]whoisduley 3 points4 points ago

She'd probably look considerably better with hair.

[–]wreckemtech 3 points4 points ago

The result would be the perfect fashion model, who's job is primarily to look completely uninteresting.

[–]miked4o7 16 points17 points ago

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

It seems like half of the guys on the internet have impossibly high standards when it comes to finding girls attractive. You're at a bar, and somebody that looks identical to Megan Fox comes up to you and strikes up a conversation with you, and you want us to believe your reaction is to look to your buddies like "help get this beast away from me"?

Bullshit.

[–]HeatherMarMal 0 points1 point ago

I don't think she's attractive. Then again, I'm a straight female. I don't think I could get passed the toe-thumb, though.
