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.

Who plans this kind of thing? I picture some artsy soldier having a 'moment'.

[–]Aitioma 4 points5 points ago

I simply picture a propaganda officer to do his job so he gets paid for the propagation of his military's success.

[–]dazwah 0 points1 point ago

You really see the best in people, don't you?

[–]Aitioma 3 points4 points ago

No, I simply try and find the most likely answer to any given question.

If you would see such a picture from Nazi Germany you would immediately come to the conclusion "GOEBBELS DID IT!". This is true for every country. People don't seem to get this concept.

We are talking about America, a country that in its history essentially employed more propaganda than any other country on the planet, rivaled only by China, and a country that is constantly teaching its population to take pride in its military by popularizing its achievements while trying to convince people to "support the troops".

Then we are also asking ourselves who would do such a thing... ?

Who could have such a substantial supply of captured German helmets... ?

Who could have the permit to erect such a monument in the middle of one of the biggest cities on the planet... ?

Reminds me of this shit

[–]joakim_ 1 point2 points ago

Did Obelix have anything to do with this?

[–]znerg 0 points1 point ago

Taken from POWs or from the dead?

[–]lychee-twist 0 points1 point ago

Well, it's from 1918ish which means around the time of WWI so it's entirely possibly that these are all dead Germans. Europe really lost a lot of men in those couple of years. It was so bad art went from fluffy Victorian shit to whatever the hell this is about.

[–]hdcs 0 points1 point ago

andrewsmith1986, where do you find all these gems?

[–]appletart -2 points-1 points ago

Disgraceful.

[–]MaleCra -2 points-1 points ago

How is it disgraceful? The Germans were threatening the lives of millions of people. This is a trophy of freedom's success.

[–]appletart 0 points1 point ago

Incorrect - the greatest trophy was freedom.

[–]MaleCra 1 point2 points ago

I'm upvoting you because Free Lance March was playing in my head, and I felt somewhat patriotic, SOOO....have an upvote!

[–]appletart 1 point2 points ago

I shall return the upvote because I learnt something new; John Phillip Sousa - The Free Lance March!

[–]MaleCra -1 points0 points ago

Isnt it just so catchy?

[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points ago

Haha, that better be sarcastic. Otherwise you are a fucking moron, actually take the time to learn some history, don't just regurgitate American propaganda you tool.

[–]MaleCra -2 points-1 points ago

Your username tragically worries me, especially because you called me a tool.

I'm just joking.

Anyway, you're right; I didn't do a whole load of research prior to commenting, soooo, I guess I will do so from now on.

Not the word I'm looking for, buuut...thanks?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

You're welcome? I do love all men, until they act like tools. Don't pretend that WW1 and WW2 were the same..

[–]MaleCra -1 points0 points ago

Yeahhh, good point. Haha, as you know, I'm not that intelligent when it comes to WW1! :D

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

very funny that this is in New York. Wouldn't really be appreciated in Europe, even France or the UK.

[–]appletart 0 points1 point ago

I doubt it would have appeared anywhere else in the US.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Why? DC alone makes way more sense...

[–]nataliek86 -1 points0 points ago

Shoulda stuck an eye and a beacon on top of it. ಠ_ಠ

[–]herps -3 points-2 points ago

Too bad they weren't skulls...

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points ago

too bad you're an idiot...
