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.

Ever heard of "canola" oil?

"Canada" + "oil" = "Canola"

It's actually rapeseed oil. For some reason, the marketing guys thought "rape oil" wouldn't sell.

Actually...it isn't.

It's modified rapeseed. All of our other grains are modified too, but we don't change their names because "rye" and "wheat" aren't also violent crimes.

But obviously the canola oil lobby website would be the first place to check for unbiased information.

[–]Fizzlicious 0 points1 point ago

Changed name because it has significantly less erucic acid than Rapeseed not, as you state, because its a violent crime.

Yes it is a cultivar from Rapeseed, that doesn't mean that everything ever cultivated from a plant is always that plant... always.

Rapeseed oil is actually green.

Also its Canadian oil low acid = Canola

Canadian propaganda, out west we still call it rape seed, it rapes your nose when it is in flower. The stench is nauseating for close to 2 months in the summer/fall.

"Canola oil is the healthiest of all commonly used cooking oils."

BULL-SHIT!

[–]qazz 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

that is only true because olive oil, hemp oil, sesame oil, sunflower oil and safflower oil is harder to find and way more money.

[–]qazz 0 points1 point ago

It has slightly lower amounts of erucic acid and glucosinolates making it just barley consumable by human cattle. It is called rape because that is what is does to the land.

I'm surprised there's no big poster of Brent Butt right next to it, as it's his hometown after all

what a great album

TIL - Due to the possible alternate meaning, industrial metal band Ministry named their 1988 album The Land of Rape and Honey after seeing the motto on a Tisdale souvenir mug - Wikipedia

Yeah, I'd definately stay away...

I'm allergic to honey, man. Makes me get hives like no tomorrow.

I was terrified when I first drove through there on my way to Carrot River. Yes CARROT RIVER.

Also, I'm from Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. MOOSE JAW.

Wow this is such a trip for me, I lived there for 3 weeks right after moving from Dublin Ireland to Saskatchewan. It was a major culture shock, i used to have a T-shirt that has that logo on it & used to get a lot of evil looks form the ladies! Glad to have been there, even happier to have moved away to Vancouver.

I came for the honey, I stayed for the rape.

Goddamn there are a lot of useful plants in the Brassica genus.

Fun fact: Broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kale, & brussels sprouts are all the same species.
