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.

And the strings of God's harp lit up the night sky, and the tones shook the ground and boiled the sea, and men did die upon the earth. The shattered cities of men burned and boiled before God's wrath, and the smoke rose like man's hubris to the heavens. Sickness and famine pursued like avenging furies those that clung to life, until even the living seemed already dead. And nothing buried the dead.

Awesome.

Have an upvote from me. Because no one upvoted me when I uploaded this before.

This makes a great background wallpaper on android phones btw.

[–]AmericanGeezus[S] 7 points8 points ago

heh. Guess I didn't go back far enough before I posted it.

[–]septicman 1 point2 points ago

Upvote for you now.

Missile Command IRL.

[–]fatharro 1 point2 points ago

Yep, test launch from VAFB in the Peacekeeper era. Taken from an island in the Kwaj.

It would also look breathtaking.

[–]AmericanGeezus[S] 0 points1 point ago

I can only imagine the sound the photographer heard when these re-entered the atmosphere.

[–]septicman 0 points1 point ago

The concept of this is freaking terrifying. Beautiful pic, though.

[–]wcamike 0 points1 point ago

MIRV re-entry pattern. Defiantly something of beauty.

Each one of the warheads have 3-12 mini warheads that would deliver a 5-15kt package.

(Combined mayyyybe 300kt each.)

Wat is dis

[–]AmericanGeezus[S] 4 points5 points ago

Its a photograph of 8 of a possible ten re-entry vehicles, traveling at supersonic speed, from a Peacekeeper nuclear missile test. All from one ICBM, each individually target-able.

Peacekeeper

Who comes up with these names, and do they manage to keep a straight face when pitching it to the board?

[–]znerg 5 points6 points ago

you really don't want to know about Operation Fluffy Kitten then.

[–]AmericanGeezus[S] 0 points1 point ago

Well, it did what it was named to do.. MAD kept the peace for sometime.

[–]madmikewindows 0 points1 point ago

"I got an idea! We'll build a huge unbelievably destructive nuclear bomb that can hit multiple sites at once and call it a peacekeeper! It'll scare the shit out of everyone!"

Aaaand it worked. Peace kept.

[–]widgetas 0 points1 point ago

Nuclear peace, I assume you mean? ;)

[–]madmikewindows 0 points1 point ago

yes. the world wasn't ended.
