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:

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.

Am I the only one kinda creeped out about a picture of this guy smiling next to some text describing how he has killed over 500 people.

Less a case of Finland being awesome, and more a case of the Soviet Union sucking in 1939

[–]oy_gevalt 16 points17 points ago

No, Finland is awesome and the USSR was fighting the wrong war in the wrong conditions.

Yes, the finish forces were better organised, trained, motivated and had proper winter gear(skies). They were also well dug in and had broken the red armys encryption.

A big chunk of those cassualties should also be credited to the finish weather. The snow imobilized and cut off red army units, low temperatures killed men and horses. But the red army lerned from its mistakes, and later exploited the germans lack of winter gear.

The total size of the armies is not that interrestning because you can not have one million soldiers at one place at the same time(and leave all other borders of the soviet empire undefended). But since the red army was so much biger it could take the losses, bring up fresh divisions and grind on until the finish forces were exausted.

Random conjecture : if Germany had attacked Finland instead of Poland, how long would the war have lasted ?

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Probably not as long, since it would result in Germany controlling a non-contiguous area.

Further: Would tanks have helped? at all?

I think not.

They eventually did attack Finland in Lapland.

[–]lcpgym 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It was the other way. As a part of the Moscow armistice, or peace treaty, Finland had to get rid of German soldiers on its soil. And was forced to demobilize her army at the same time as fighting to force the German army to leave Finland. Which Germans eventually did April 1945, retreating to Norway, leaving burned land behind.

I've seen this one before, but the figures are way exaggerated.

Wikipedia now

Australia's special forces lose more men to training than to combat. Being more badass than them is like winning a tallest midget contest.

Finland, you are officially more badass than the USSR. And that's worth bragging about!

Never get involved in a land war in Asia Europe, either.

[–]the_grimlin 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I just hate how Finland was considered to be Axis, since all they were doing was trying to fend off the Soviet invasion.

[–]tehmark 3 points4 points ago

Was this the dwarf invasion?

That conflict is really well described in this book: The Storm of War - Andrew Roberts. An excellent read so far....
