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.

Looks like the weight is trying to get the wheels on the right side to get closer together, which they can't because of the glass. And friction just keeps it all in place.

          Who is the "you" that possesses legs? What is the entity that has a body, but is seperate from it? Surely you simply are a body, not some thing that possesses one.

          I would agree that since your physical body is continuous with everything else in the universe, and the atoms that made up your body were formed in the stars, you are a part of the universe. God though? It depends on your definition of God, if it's some being or just a metaphor for the totality of all that exists.

                    Showed a sculptor friend of mine this some time ago and he built a huge version in a gallery. He used a disassembled a-frame ladder and a dresser filled with bricks.

                    edit- in case anyone wants to see some of his other work you can find it here.

                    sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

                    Yes. The weight of the dresser itself pulls on the ladder and beam, pushing each other outward. The ladder and beam apply enough pressure on the walls to keep it up. If you were to relieve the weight of the dresser, the whole thing would collapse.

                    Climb the ladder out from the wall and replace the socks with an equal weight Indiana Jones style.

                    You need another ladder for that.

                    sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

                    But even a single pair of socks would lessen the weight of the dresser, causing the whole thing to collapse. You don't want it to collapse, do you?

                    Do you?

                      It's like the trick of balancing a hammer on the edge of a ruler hanging off the edge of a table. Something like 2 or 3 inches of ruler is touching the table and the whole contraption is perfectly balanced.

                            In Olinda, if you go out with a magnifying glass and hunt carefully, you may find somewhere a point no bigger than the head of a pin which, if you look at it slightly enlarged, reveals within itself the roofs, the antennas, the skylights, the gardens, the pools, the streamers across the streets, the kiosks in the squeares, the horse-racing track.--Italo Calvino

                                Even after all that I still had to go check if it was animated.

                                            The weight pulls on the cord, which attempts to pull the two arms closer together. However, as they're pulled together, they exert outward pressure on the glass. This outward pressure combined with the friction of the horizontal wheels on the left prevents the apparatus from slipping.

                                            You could replace the weight and string with a stretched spring and it would accomplish the same thing. The point is to make the system elaborate, yet ultimately functionless.

I would have the college prep student generate FBDs in 2D (side view only of the image), and have the AP students generate the 3D version.

                                                        Its Only Purpose Is To Hold Itself Up

                                                        Isn't that the purpose of most people?

                                                        Still more useful than a U.S pollitician to its constituancy.

                                                          Hello, yes God?

                                                          I'd like to report a glitch in the matrix.

                                                          Really? You consider this a 'glitch in the matrix'?
