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.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

I've seen so many cats on Reddit that I didn't realize it was a manatee until I clicked the link for a third time..

[–]TheJackalMan 10 points11 points ago

And they named him Urf!

[–]Gamaline 2 points3 points ago

Went to comments for Urf. Reddit delivers.

i saw manatees eating lettuce once

[–]Kullersten 7 points8 points ago

how nice of you to lettuce know!

[–]phpdoesnotcare 4 points5 points ago

Manatee Overlord, the early years.

[–]FreakinRayOfSunshine 3 points4 points ago

Got to swim with manatees in Florida. One of the best vacations ever!

[–]Moomasterq 2 points3 points ago

That's pretty damn cool I must admit.

[–]FreakinRayOfSunshine 2 points3 points ago

Homosassa, Florida (I'm going to get lolz for that I just know it). There is a manatee sanctuary there and tours dedicated to let you see, swim and give them scratchins. They love the scratching and will even roll over and lift up flippers for more. The babies are adorable and sound like little squeek toys in the water when calling for mom. I hope to be able to go back again :) p.s. love your name too

[–]Moomasterq 2 points3 points ago

Well thanks for liking my name :).

When I visited Florida we'd go to some reservation and never see jack shit. I'll try to go there next time and swim with my sea cow brothers (And sisters).

[–]statix138 1 point2 points ago

Totally did the same thing in Crystal River, FL. Since you do it in their actual habitat instead of a zoo like setting it makes it really special.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

Baby overlord.

and the parent looks like they made a terrible mistake with their life

[–]bubbus 1 point2 points ago

Of course, their kid looks like a manatee!

[–]sommergirl 1 point2 points ago

oh the huge manatee!

[–]Z3F 4 points5 points ago

Cute, but people need to realize that only primates smile to express happiness. All else is just an animal whose face just happens to look that way at a given time.

[–]thespag 6 points7 points ago

Chimpanzees bare their teeth to show fear or agression, so smiling towards them doesn't show them you are happy.

[–]neuromonkey 7 points8 points ago

It says, "I am a weird, huge, hairless creature. Rip my arm off."

[–]bluesatin 2 points3 points ago

Dogs also bare their teeth to show fear or aggression, whether dogs think we're showing fear or aggression when smiling I don't know.

[–]friendoffoe 2 points3 points ago

Yeah...though I know dogs that seem to smile.

[–]The_Cockamouse 1 point2 points ago

Awwww I love Manatees! By far my favorite animal! I hope I get to swim with some someday :D

[–]Toasty117 1 point2 points ago

Holy shit. Now I know why "Overlord Manatee" wants to take over the world. The aquarium where him and his baby were held split them apart, so in his ferocity, he's been planning the enslavement of the human race.

[–]shuffma 1 point2 points ago

It's a sea cow...

[–]Manateee17 1 point2 points ago

We should be friends.

[–]SquishyManatee 1 point2 points ago

Oh HAI!

[–]krakenknuckles 1 point2 points ago

My dad was mauled by a manatee once. Sort of. Scuba diving in Florida, he's swimming along minding his own when a shadow passes over him. He thinks the shadow is a boat - it's so large. Wrong! It's a mothafuckin' manatee. The thing was huge. If you've ever seen them in person you know the way photos don't capture them properly, make no mistake, these animals are tanks. Gentle tanks, but still tanks.

First he was nervous - the lecture you get before they let you out with the manatees is pretty potent. It's a $100,000 dollar fine if you molest them at all, but as it descended upon him from the waters above legal trepidation gave way to fear of physical safety. My father is 6'6", about 230 pounds and retired military - he doesn't intimidate easy but he said he was pretty freaked out to have this bolbous, alien beast hovering over him. The manatee swam further down to my father and gumbed his fucking head! Like, gnawed on it a little. What it intended we will never know, my dad beat a very hasty retreat!

True story.

Family Guy writers' "Bring your kid to work" day.

[–]LongRun1 2 points3 points ago

Yeah, I'd like to ask a question to the sea-pig.

[–]syspig 0 points1 point ago

Is it OK if I have mayonnaise?

[–]Kvawrf 0 points1 point ago

I read once that manatees were almost wiped out because people were eating them. From the historical accounts apparently they have the best tasting meat in the animal kingdom. Just a useless piece of knowledge to share.

I'm a sea cow!

No. No you're not. You're a manatee!

Username is HappyManatee. User for ten hours. Posted this ten hours ago. Quite good, I must say. Now I expect a HappyManatee picture every day.

[–]solnyshko 0 points1 point ago

I live in GTMO, and got to watch a baby manatee who lost its mama get sent to a sanctuary in Puerto Rico via baby pool, that made me happy!

[–]AceRecon 0 points1 point ago

I have made a conclusion: No creature has an ugly baby.

[–]ishallbecomeabat 0 points1 point ago

Aw, the huge manatee.

I should have looked so happy as a baby

I bet manatees would taste really good.
