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.

Actually it isn't in Russia. Its in Alaska. While I understand the joke, I'm just clarifying.

[–]filolif 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's fitting in a way because Sitka was the Russian capital when they owned Alaska way back in the day and still has a ton of Russian landmarks. Kinda-Sorta Russiaesque.

[–]spammishking 2 points3 points ago

Yes I was going to say it looks like the bear habitat in my home town in Sitka AK. There was a old pulp mill that left those behind, and someone put bears in them.

[–]addisonclark 1 point2 points ago

yup. i think i saw this floating around on tumblr a few months back - a cellist from the LA chamber orchestra playing for brown bears at the "Fortress of the Bears" in... as you said - sitka, alaska.

WAHH WAHH SOMEONE ELSE POSTED IT BEFORE HEY EVERYONE SOMEONE ELSE POSTED THIS DID YOU KNOW SOMEONE ELSE POSTED THIS?

I didn't see it before, and I'm enjoying it now. Fuck off.

[–]apullin 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Wow, you're really projecting a lot of anger. I didn't even put words in my comment, and you were already "there". I wonder what it is in your life, past or present, that's causing this.

[–]TeddiRevolution -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

How cute, you don't even know what projection is and you use the word.

You know exactly what you're doing, complaining about reposts in a passive way. No words because then you can deny it. Very typical Passive Aggressive behavior. One of you does it in every thread. The top rated comment for most pictures is someone like you pointing out that gasp something on the internet has been posted before. As said before, fuck off.

[–]apullin 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

You have some serious anger issues. If my username was 'repost-bot' or something, you could bother trying to harangue me, but since I seem to be just a normal poster, you feel personally challenged. And that's something to reflect on: you feel personally challenged by me not even saying anything. Just my mere existence incites that. And that's not to highlight myself, as I am nothing remarkable. You're incised by the remotest of implications. You literally invented my "argument" for me: it's at the top of your first reply. That was you typing, not I.

And you're right, "one of [us]" does it in every thread: me.

[–]TeddiRevolution -3 points-2 points ago*

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

Challenged? No, but tired of internet police pointing out that someone else posted something previously. You circlejerk over numbers next to someones name instead of discussing something. hurr durr Karmawhores

in every thread: me.

Again, you continue can continue to deny what you were doing, but we both know you're offended because I called you out on stroking your E-peen instead of having a real post.

Also the (poor) pseudo-psychoanalysing boils down to "u mad" so save it in your next reply.

[–]apullin -1 points0 points ago

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

You seem really emotionally invested in this issue.

[–]TeddiRevolution -1 points0 points ago

That's what I thought. I'm done here.

[–]apullin 0 points1 point ago

Done with being so angry? I hope I helped you work through this stuff.

[–]TeddiRevolution -1 points0 points ago

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

Is that how you always reply to someone who directly challenges you? Say "you're mad" in multiple ways? Pretty sad, try being assertive sometime. :)

I get on roof and I play to bear, and bear say to me, "you, cello man, why do you play at me? I am bear," and I say "I play to you to ease your pains". Bear stand up and he say to me, he say to Yuri, "I have no pains." I say to him, "yes, bear, you do, you have pains like I have pains, pains like when there is no potato or grass on ground, like when dirt is thick and women are old," and he say to me "I understand now," and he claps his bear paws together many times.

Bear is silly.
