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.

[–]Birdie_Num_Num 128 points129 points ago

This is a pretty good advert for Reddit. For me, though, the comments are always way more entertaining than the posts.

[–]ios_k[S] 50 points51 points ago

Yeah that's true, there are some comments that are true gems (cumbox comes to mind)

[–]EdricStorm 15 points16 points ago

Or the jolly rancher story

[–]abearwithcubs 14 points15 points ago

Jolly rancher story? Do tell....

[–]trumpet_23 36 points37 points ago

You don't want to read this. Seriously, you don't. If you do read it, don't say I didn't warn you.

[–]Vectoor 4 points5 points ago

FU, why did I read that? Uuhhuhuhhhuguhguh

[–]GeneralWarts 4 points5 points ago

That's 2 years old, isn't OP only highlighting the last year?

[–]trumpet_23 15 points16 points ago

abearwithcubs asked, I provided

[–]GeneralWarts 7 points8 points ago

Sorry, I was just speaking to our viewers. You done good, kid.

[–]acrossx92 1 point2 points ago

note that it wasn't OP who asked what it was.

[–]GeneralWarts 0 points1 point ago

Correct, I was telling /u/EdricStorm that his statement really had no relevance here. Seeing as I was a little late to the party I just replied at the end of the thread instead of replying directly to him.

[–]whosapuppy 0 points1 point ago

Can't blame a kings bastard for not being relevant.

[–]Stratusshot 1 point2 points ago

Damn it! I was eating, but in all fairness you did warn me. I'm a bit mortified but appreciate the link :)

[–]LoveGoblin -2 points-1 points ago

The dumb part is that this is an old urban legend; it never happened and didn't even originate on reddit.

[–]EdricStorm 7 points8 points ago

It's...not as appealing as it sounds...

Have you read the cumbox story?

Cause if you have, it's worse than that.

However, if you wish to open pandora's box...well...I won't stop you.

[–]Problem_Santa 13 points14 points ago

If anyone needs some internet love after this... http://www.thenicestplaceontheinter.net/

[–]UnaccompaniedMinor 1 point2 points ago

I've seen this site before but had forgotten about it. Thank you!

[–]abearwithcubs 0 points1 point ago

Ahahahaha..... Yeah, I remember that one now... Thanks for the link, though.

[–]sh1thead 0 points1 point ago

Neither of those have had a positive influence on my life.

[–]AmberHeartsDisney 0 points1 point ago

That story haunts my dreams.

[–]That1guyjosh 0 points1 point ago

I really hoped when I read that for the first time people would think it's gross, move on, and never speak of it again. I was wrong.

[–]zwinky588 0 points1 point ago

I don't think that story is real, because if you have heard the starburst story they are almost identical. The only difference being, the disease, and the candy.

[–]Osiris32 0 points1 point ago

Instead of making this worse, I'll bring it back and say most of the comments from the "My penis is as thick as my wrist" AMA.

[–]RageDoll -1 points0 points ago

Well... ios_k made me lose my lunch reminding me of that story...

Now I'm just going to curl up and hurl until I'm satisfied I'm clean.

[–]EdricStorm -1 points0 points ago

Godspeed.

I read the JR story whilst browsing the entire thread the day it was posted.

It was 6 months before I could eat a jolly rancher again.

[–]RageDoll 1 point2 points ago

...I just read your username and all was forgotten.

I won't let the red woman near you.

[–]jtrot91 -1 points0 points ago

Yesterday I told some of my friends the jolly rancher story. (2 of which are redditors and I was extremely disappointed in them) Later that night another friend came over and had a jolly rancher soda that I didn't know existed before then, I remembered the story as I took a drink and I didn't care.

[–]n2xo -1 points0 points ago

Doritos story

[–]EdricStorm 0 points1 point ago

Oh no...I don't know this one...

[–]Ca11megee 0 points1 point ago

Cumbox?

[–]SomeOneNeedsAHug 21 points22 points ago

Can't help but notice... the past year didn't involve going outside...

[–]ios_k[S] 1 point2 points ago

Nailed it.

[–]BloodyIron 0 points1 point ago

Except the bridge? I guess you have a bridge like that inside your mansion. Spare some change for a starving start up business?

[–]Cozmo23 20 points21 points ago

Nice compilation. I think I recognized all but 3.

[–]perkocet 12 points13 points ago

I recognized most of them too. Want to go outside with me at some point in the future? aahah I haven't had fresh air in a while

[–]4_word_replies_only 1 point2 points ago

No, it's dangerous outside.

[–]Ruskin 0 points1 point ago

I heard you could get like get caught on fire or something like that from this thing called the sun...

[–]scruffy01 26 points27 points ago

What? Why did the Bad Luck Brian AMA get turned down?

[–]ios_k[S] 52 points53 points ago

Karmanaut didn't find him interesting enough.

EDIT: wording

[–]PassionCharger 51 points52 points ago

Nah I think Karmanaut was trying to set up:

'Bad luck Brian - Makes AmA, gets deleted'

[–]A_British_Gentleman 22 points23 points ago

Nice try, Karmanaut

[–]BaconCat 8 points9 points ago

Dude's got so many alts every person in this thread could be him.

[–]chris-topher 12 points13 points ago

Nice try, Karmanaut

[–]BaconCat 2 points3 points ago

Nice try, Karmanaut

[–]xd1936 1 point2 points ago

Nice try, Karmanaut

[–]floatablepie 12 points13 points ago

It didn't turn out to be a joke that Bad Luck Brian: Tries AMA, Gets removed? The guy was just being a dick?

[–]Saybyetotheaccount 6 points7 points ago

We hate Karmanaut now, keep up!

[–]squall86drk 6 points7 points ago

yeah, and after he denied the IAmA we did what we do best, WE FUCKING DOWNVOTED EVERY FUCKING POST HE HAS MADE IN HIS ENTIRE LIFE!

[–]Stop_Sign 3 points4 points ago

Actual reason: Karmanaut says that AMAs should not be made by people that are only famous because of reddit.

[–]fireinthesky7 2 points3 points ago

I look forward to the day Rome Sweet Rome actually comes out as a movie, and Karmanaut has to explain why he removed the writer's future-popular AMA.

[–]Pretty_Insignificant 2 points3 points ago

Actually because it was against the rules of the subreddit. It was also fake, but that's another story

[–]ios_k[S] 0 points1 point ago

Well, I don't know if it's fake or not, but the rules thing seems stupid given that RPG did an AMA.

[–]Tom_Z 1 point2 points ago

In his real AMA he says that the one that Karmanaut deleted wasn't even him. I'm not defending Karmanaut though because that probably wasn't the reason he pulled it...

[–]Stop_Sign 4 points5 points ago

Actual reason: Karmanaut says that AMAs should not be made by people that are only famous because of reddit.

[–]SlasherX 1 point2 points ago

Because one of the rules 32bite made Karmanaut follow to give control of Iama was to keep quality up in submissions. Karmanaut considered that Bad luck Brian wasn't interesting, also fun fact the Iama was debunked later and discovered to be fake.

[–]123456787654321 1 point2 points ago

That's some Lvl 99 syntax with some Lvl 1 punctuation right here.

[–]gabbriel 3 points4 points ago

Mega-Repost.

[–]SuicideCharlie -2 points-1 points ago

I chuckled

[–]Rajio 19 points20 points ago

AKA: Let me just repost this.

[–]ios_k[S] 10 points11 points ago

Well they might be reposts, but you have to give me credit for the search+captions :).

It was also my cakeday..

[–]crazydaze 1 point2 points ago

You'll get nothing and like it!

[–]WezVC 0 points1 point ago

Yes, those incredibly creative captions...

[–]ios_k[S] 1 point2 points ago

Sorry man, I thought they were good.

[–]WezVC 1 point2 points ago

No need to apologise, I'm just an asshole.

[–]ios_k[S] 0 points1 point ago

I am sorry for that.

[–]kgriggs75 2 points3 points ago

This was interesting, I wonder how you choose those instead of others.

[–]ios_k[S] 3 points4 points ago

Well I tried to remember what made an impression on me, and then searched it.

[–]BeBenNova 30 points31 points ago

THE ICE SOAP MAN, WHERE'S THE ICE SOAP

[–]Osiris32 11 points12 points ago

Or the sideways toaster?

[–]enzien 1 point2 points ago

Or the elephant that blows itself.

[–]ios_k[S] 0 points1 point ago

I couldn't find a good picture, and when I did find I was too lazy to reupload everything into a new album.

[–]Iwanttobelive 4 points5 points ago

The only two i think i missed are "badass" and "shameless".

[–]ios_k[S] 0 points1 point ago

They were from the OWS movement. The badass is a former police chief being arrested and the shameless is an 84 years old lady who was pepper sprayed (I think).

[–]Zenquin 2 points3 points ago

Why was he arrested?

[–]suanny 3 points4 points ago

because he joined the protestors in OWS i believe.

[–]doubleplusepic 1 point2 points ago

Because he joined the protests in uniform.

[–]4_word_replies_only -1 points0 points ago

Because he's a badass

[–]sicksickmusic 5 points6 points ago

I'm not sure how I feel about the fact that I recognized pretty much all of them... Pro-tip: use karmadecay to find the original threads.

[–]anxiousalpaca 7 points8 points ago

i lurk many hours each day but i didn't recognize every picture. nice.

[–]thedonkdonk 4 points5 points ago

I did. Not sure if that's a good thing.

[–]NoodleToucher 3 points4 points ago

Oh god. Me too.

[–]ios_k[S] 0 points1 point ago

Thanks! :)

[–]TheFAJ 4 points5 points ago

Yes, thank you for this. I only check reddit between 7am and 3pm, so its nice to see what I missed.

[–]4_word_replies_only -1 points0 points ago

You've missed many things.

[–]Jay_Normous 2 points3 points ago

Can someone tell me the story behind the hanging dog gif? How about the close up picture of the old man? Those are the only two I don't recognize

[–]Malplace 10 points11 points ago

www.reddit.com/r/picrequests/comments/rmzyr/request_could_you_remove_me_from_this_picture/c4755n1

[–]RageDoll 8 points9 points ago

It's meant to show the effects of having sun mainly on one side of the face, after driving a lorry for 28 years.

[–]Jay_Normous 1 point2 points ago

That's amazing

[–]themisinterpreter 1 point2 points ago

Incredible, right? He calls trucks lorries!

[–]nivarius -5 points-4 points ago

But which side is the side with that got sun?

[–]RageDoll 0 points1 point ago

The side that looks really healthy and has no sun damage at all...

The other side was actually a sun-bed accident.

What do you think man? C'mon!

[–]hodgeman29 2 points3 points ago

The close up of the old man was showing the result of years of driving a truck with half his face in the sun. Go back and look you can see an obvious difference in the sides of his face it's impressive

[–]kavorka2 3 points4 points ago

Nice try, guy hoping to be included in next year's retrospective.

[–]Another_Desk_Jockey 4 points5 points ago

I remember each and every one of these. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Also, thanks for the depression caused by the realization that my "memory lane" is just reddit posts. I think I need to go outside now.

[–]Epoo 2 points3 points ago

we should do a yearly collage of all things reddit every year. idk if i worded that properly but im really hoping someone can understand the stupidity that comes out of my mouth and onto my fingertips into the keyboard. hi im eric.

[–]CRandalPoopenmeier 3 points4 points ago

okay someone has to fill me in on no 18

[–]iLuvTacos42 1 point2 points ago

I recognised all of them except numbers 18 and 31, anyone want to fill us both in??

[–]HITMAN616 2 points3 points ago

18: http://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/owx3v/so_my_little_cousin_posted_on_fb_that_he_was/

Dude pranks his cousin, pretending to be a text service called "Cat Facts" -- cousin tries to unsubscribe, to no avail.

31: http://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/ty4kt/timmys_first_time_out/

"Timmy" gets a car for the first time. Runs over the mailbox. Parents (?) are great sports about it.

[–]CRandalPoopenmeier 1 point2 points ago

31 was titled something like "first time he was allowed to take the car" or sth. the kid on the left was the driver and the other two are his brother and his gf or sth like this. cant find the original post right now

[–]nalgasdehule 1 point2 points ago

wow the years go by fast, I still remember when I saw the pictures for the first time.

[–]aklee128 1 point2 points ago

This is the ultimate repost of all time!!

[–]froderick 1 point2 points ago

I nearly forgot about the 2am chilli... which takes hours to make. Who the hell would spend hours preparing something when at 2am all you'd want is something quick and easy so you can go to / get back to bed?

[–]welwutnow 1 point2 points ago

That recipe SUCKED.

[–]SW82 1 point2 points ago

This was a wonderful look back at the things I remember, and a frustrating image search for the things I don't.

[–]darkhorseguns 1 point2 points ago

Best Recipe is 2 AM chili? No.

[–]GhostalMedia 1 point2 points ago

Repost.

[–]Im_Also_That_Guy 0 points1 point ago

Can someone explain the pic of the cop (maybe police chief?) getting arrested by another cop?

[–]Avohaj 2 points3 points ago

I think he took part in one of the "Occupy" protests

[–]Dawnasaurus 2 points3 points ago

It was a retired police captain who took part in the OWS protest. Of course, wearing full uniform, he got a lot of attention.

[–]mister_meow 0 points1 point ago

All aboard the karma train!! WOOT WOOT!!!

Can't believe how many of those I clearly remember..

[–]trevdak2 0 points1 point ago

I think all of those are from the last 3 months.

What did you do the first 9 months?

[–]probablynotyou 0 points1 point ago

I missed a few of those - the Iam Bad Luck Brian is making me rofl

[–]Im_high 0 points1 point ago

Somebody please make a list or even better, a link, to each of the stories for those of us who missed one or two of theses events.

[–]KazMux 0 points1 point ago

Ah yes... 2AM Chili.. It seemed like 50% of the posts were about that. The rest were about "Ice soap" :/

[–]callate 0 points1 point ago

Do you have the Nico one? I loved that one!

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

I missed the cat fancy text prank. Funny. Got the original link?

[–]mjolle 0 points1 point ago

I'm proud to only NOT recognize two of those pictures.

Or... maybe I should be ashamed. Still not sure.

[–]ArchangelPT 0 points1 point ago

If a kindhearted and patient redditor linked all the threads associated with each of the images he'd probably get a shit ton of karma... i'm just sayin.

[–]pittles 0 points1 point ago

Did anyone else notice that in the "badass in LA" picture the guy with the tattoo on his left arm is lee stone the porn actor?

[–]adinkras 0 points1 point ago

If you look at the photoshop one, you can see the guy's top white button is still there.

[–]Drop_the_gun 0 points1 point ago

If someone makes a list with links to every original post, I would probably make sweet long love to them.

But maybe just upvote it.
