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.

Elephant Olympics - Nairobi 2012

[–]gaping_your_mother 9 points10 points ago

Elephants playing football

They look much more coordinated than the English national team.

[–]nodefect 5 points6 points ago

Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

[–]Pliskin01 3 points4 points ago

What was Wenger thinking sending Walcott on that early?

[–]BobPlager 1 point2 points ago

God, could you not drag this reference out at every mention of soccer?

[–]aSweatyCamel 3 points4 points ago

For some reason I find the extra spin that the elephant's trunk does after releasing the ball to be way too amusing. Watch the GIF again, but only pay attention to the trunk. It's addicting.

[–]honky_mcgee 2 points3 points ago

That looks so incredibly fake to me for some reason...

[–]dwarf33 4 points5 points ago

I hope he wasn't tortured to "learn" this trick.

[–]blore40 0 points1 point ago

Your comment/reference probably whooshed.

[–]ctesibius 1 point2 points ago

Almost certainly not. I've seen a group of elephants playing football with their keeper in a zoo in German (Berlin I think - might have been Munich). They are intelligent animals and seem to find it entertaining.

[–]dwarf33 1 point2 points ago

Thanks for the info. I'm always suspicious when I see something like that. The reason is that I once was amazed to see an elephant draw a picture of an elephant, only to find out that it was probably beaten into him.

[–]walliver 1 point2 points ago

Depends a lot where this elephant is. If it's somewhere like Thailand or Cambodia, I'd be very surprised to learn if she'd been taught nicely.

[–]AndAgain1 1 point2 points ago

Show me in the rulebook where is says elephants can't play football. Shrug. Play ball!

[–]404AikNotFound 2 points3 points ago

.gif uploaded in /r/pics.. gets tons of upvotes.. how am I fucking it up THIS bad..

[–]Potchi79 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, but did he even get a basket?

[–]ViolentOctopus 0 points1 point ago

"Fabulous"

[–]ynglv 0 points1 point ago

I was just trying to do this with a small ball yesterday. I'm very ashamed of myself now that I missed more than I'm willing to admit.

[–]JarlaxleForPresident 0 points1 point ago

now imagine if that was your head

[–]whoami9 1 point2 points ago

They should compete in shotput.

[–]Barnaby138 1 point2 points ago

Someone please run this backwards so it looks like he is catching it!

[–]Agilysystem 2 points3 points ago

For you, sure thing.

[–]centerbleep 1 point2 points ago

[–]ravelle 0 points1 point ago

RIP random bystander.

[–]beachjustice 0 points1 point ago

Anyone else notice the mindfuck of the elephant's rear legs?

[–]Gamer8888 -2 points-1 points ago

now just add a NOPE caption

[–]Luung -2 points-1 points ago

Elephants are only useful for their ivory and succulent trunk meat.

[–]babaroga92 -3 points-2 points ago

they can kill someone some man kill cat
