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.

Nice Rafale there :)

[–]xenoposeidon 1 point2 points ago

'Tis a beautiful jet.

[–]Olliemon 1 point2 points ago

Absolutely. It literally looks like the Eurofighter's cultured cousin, which is pretty much what it is I suppose.

[–]adanvdo 1 point2 points ago

i see what you did there

[–]ComancheCorps 3 points4 points ago

Love the look of the Rafale.

[–]Apostolate 3 points4 points ago

This picture was taken in the past and I am looking at it in the present.

[–]rasputine 5 points6 points ago

No you're not. Everything you are looking at is in the past, due to the time taken to transmit signals from your sense to your brain and process them. You are physically incapable of experiencing the present.

[–]DoubleStuffedCheezIt 2 points3 points ago

That actually boggled my mind when I talked about it with my dad. Such a crazy thing to think that we can't actually experience anything in the present, only see things that have happened in the past.

[–]Slashur999 0 points1 point ago

You think in the present

[–]rasputine 2 points3 points ago

No you don't, there is a delay in neuron impulses.

[–]Slashur999 0 points1 point ago

Hoho I didn't even think about this, you are right. I guess we live to experience the past.

[–]DoubleStuffedCheezIt 0 points1 point ago

Okay, but I was going off of what rasputine said about not seeing anything in the present. I guess I should have stuck to that wording instead of chaning it to 'experiencing.'

[–]jarodpalmer 0 points1 point ago

"Vsauce! Michael Here!"

[–]clickdelete -1 points0 points ago

I shall call you, Mitch-Joke-Ruiner

[–]HanselSoHotRightNow 2 points3 points ago

Is that a Dassault Rafale?

That's the only twinjet that I could think of that has a single tail fin and looks the way that one does.

[–]winnar72 1 point2 points ago

You are correct

[–]TheLoneHoot 1 point2 points ago

Yes it is, however, the Eurofighter Typhoon has a similar layout (much different intakes though). The Rafale is much more svelte, like a beautiful French girl.

[–]brockem 0 points1 point ago

It is a Rafale, however two very similar looking jets are the KFIR and the Eurofighter. The cheek mounted antennas give away the Rafale every time though.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

It's crazy to think about all the human race has achieved. Imagine what the original builders of the pyramids would think if they could see this photograph.

[–]JCN3 2 points3 points ago

Two amazing engineering feats

[–]padoodles 0 points1 point ago

when does he turn into a transformer?

[–]cgil9000 0 points1 point ago

soon to be covered in wax

[–]basec0m 0 points1 point ago

I'm a sucker for canards...

[–]nivvy 0 points1 point ago

thats a really cool pic

[–]TechIsCool 0 points1 point ago

First thought was Stargate is that bad?

[–]an_ugly_american 0 points1 point ago

bombin the crap out of them decepticons

[–]xenoposeidon 0 points1 point ago

What's a french jet doing over Egypt?

[–]TheLoneHoot 1 point2 points ago

Probably part of Operation Bright Star.

[–]f0rcedinducti0n -1 points0 points ago

Won't be there for long if the Islamic extremists have their way. They are hell bent on the eradication of the edifices of paganism.

[–]Bunsky 0 points1 point ago

No! Some guy in a different country said a silly thing. The pyramids are going to be okay.

[–]f0rcedinducti0n 0 points1 point ago

Oh good. I was debating whether an ancient landmark and engineering marvel like the pyramids belong to Egypt alone or all of man kind, and that if certain groups sought their destruction if the international community should intercede.

Not that I make those decisions, but I was leaning toward yes.

I guess don't believe everything you read.

Not sure why I got down-voted though, the article was posted here on reddit not too long ago...

Visiting the Pyramids is something on my bucket list...

[–]poclava 0 points1 point ago

that's a really big piggy bank

[–]curiouskevin 0 points1 point ago

And yet I'm still a little more fascinated by the past.

[–]speaktodragons 0 points1 point ago

War, war never changes.

[–]rspix000 0 points1 point ago

So is this picture saying that Egypt traded a cult of kings for domination by its military.
