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.

This is going to turn into the gang sign version of "When does the Narwal Bacon"

God help us.

[–]23_47 119 points120 points ago

Flashin them upvotes

[–]AndrewPresnal 141 points142 points ago

Made the symbol with my hands after seeing this..

[–]cakekween 31 points32 points ago

I think my fingers are too long. The one I made looks beyond wonky.

[–]jcoopr86 11 points12 points ago

the tendons in my hands are fused too far towards my first knuckle, cant pull my outside 3 fingers down enough, i have an underlined upvote. it's an upvote with authority.

[–]DaBigCheese 7 points8 points ago

Same, stupid thumbs

[–]jennack 5 points6 points ago

My nails are too long

[–]Ahuva 9 points10 points ago

I think we all did.

[–]irving47 6 points7 points ago

Up is no problem. Downvote arrow is much more painful than the first time you do a Vulcan salute.

[–]umopapsidn 0 points1 point ago

Carpel Tunnel Syndrome?

[–]bloodnaught 3 points4 points ago

[–]WishboneTheDog 9 points10 points ago

Throwin up the vote.

[–]anotheranotherother 13 points14 points ago

Going to? This has been around for years.

[–]Sevryn08 1 point2 points ago

I'm glad someone said it. This has already been a topic on reddit, even before the narwhal bacon garbage.

[–]KoalaBomb 45 points46 points ago

I don't don't know about you guys but I flash my super legit website hand signals wherever I go. Whenever I walk into a restaurant, people instantly know which websites I frequent and I feel it's important that they do.

[–]Dildo_Ball_Baggins 33 points34 points ago

4channers just walk around giving everyone the finger.

[–]Melvar_10 36 points37 points ago

or whip out their privates and dick slap people?

[–]Big-Red-One 11 points12 points ago

As a former /b/tard, these are all common practices.

[–]dysgraphia_add 4 points5 points ago

As a current robot, most of us just seem to cry all the time or never leave the house.

[–]feilen 1 point2 points ago

As a current robot, BEEP BOOP I AM ONE OF YOU

[–]DownvoterAccount 1 point2 points ago

Probably nothing, they just attempt to act normal, and maybe a bit socially awkward, in public.

Then they go home and masturbate to whatever porn thread is on page 1 and afterwards call each other faggot or try to get dubs with an attached picture of Patrick Bateman wearing a clear raincoat under his suit.

[–]Melvar_10 0 points1 point ago

you win this round mr. downvoter....

[–]Atario 7 points8 points ago

This has been around for a long time. Catch up.

[–]VodkaGimlet 14 points15 points ago

It's a lot better than the narwhal horn I try to pantomime on my forehead when I meet a suspected redditor.

[–]BananaVisit 9 points10 points ago

Honey, look at that guy. He's jerking off an imaginary dick on his head.

[–]YuSukTu -1 points0 points ago

well, if you wanna chill w/ hardcore you need to learn the vi gang sign.

[–]OnlineGrandpa -1 points0 points ago

and another yes to this.

[–]BenjaminSkanklin 1 point2 points ago

It is! Sure is fun. You've been here for 6 whole months?!? Tell me the story of Reddit please

[–]jal0001 0 points1 point ago

Or even better, it replaces "When does the Narwal Bacon" with absolutely no affiliation to that stupid saying.

[–]modernpromethean 0 points1 point ago

... and that's how I accidentally joined a Mexican gang.

[–]traal 1 point2 points ago

Now you've done it.

[–]apullin 1 point2 points ago

It's already three 6th or 7th time this has hit the front page.

[–]jjwood84 2 points3 points ago

This has been used for a while actually.

[–]Heyheypeeps 1 point2 points ago

I can imagine flipping this upside down and saying

"you came to the wrong neighborhood motherfucker"

[–]Ohsaycanyouseasalt 164 points165 points ago

[–]jsellout 43 points44 points ago

[–]Ronnie_James_Diode 13 points14 points ago

This is pretty much the only way to flash it at other people and still have it retain it's look too.

[–]MasterAardwolf[!] 6 points7 points ago

False. (side note: it looks shittier than it would in person because I had to operate the camera phone with my foot)

Is that a .... Duckface?

[–]MasterAardwolf[!] 1 point2 points ago

No, I've just got big lips. I'm a trumpet player.

[–]freeloder11 29 points30 points ago

Are you from Australia?

[–]timetravel_fanof 13 points14 points ago

I have long fingers compared to my palms.

[–]MaenadsWish 28 points29 points ago

On the west coast here. Just sprinted outside to try and catch the sunset. Couldn't take the photo using only my chin and teeth. OP has a third hand.

[–]Dabuscus214 27 points28 points ago

or, you know, a friend

[–]Ohsaycanyouseasalt 79 points80 points ago

This is a Redditor we're talking about.

[–]outfoxthefox 22 points23 points ago

Of course, a tripod. The lonely photographers ever faithful helper.

[–]pasmeme 2 points3 points ago

their third hand?

[–]Dabuscus214 2 points3 points ago

touche

[–]Zumaru 1 point2 points ago

A what?

[–]Dabuscus214 1 point2 points ago

see pasmemes response

[–]Cocomunky 9 points10 points ago

This reminds me of the guy who rook like 3 pictures of himself taking pictures of himself without his hands. I suck at finding threads, will attempt to find it though.

[–]caligurlz 3 points4 points ago

Dayum Dayum DAYUUUUUMMMM when I couldn't upvote all 4 images.

[–]Cocomunky 2 points3 points ago

You are the hero reddit deserves.

[–]ALLCAPSON 0 points1 point ago

Or two people. Notice painted nails?

[–]mmrnmhrm 0 points1 point ago

yeah, my hands are too big.

[–]polarlover 3 points4 points ago

How much do you think I would have to pay someone to do this over someone else until they had an upvote tan?

[–]Kdnce 2 points3 points ago

No way this is much harder than I thought. At first I was like "Sweet! A Reddit set! Let me go run out throw it up and get shot!"

[–]SpecialForcie 0 points1 point ago

I actually succeeded almost immediately.

[–]quippinit 40 points41 points ago

I feel like everyone who sees this is gonna try it

[–]brookuslicious 27 points28 points ago

I totally did. Succeeded!

[–]queenpandora -1 points0 points ago

Victory to the victors!

I did have to overlap my thumbs a bit to make it work, but VICTORY TO THE VICTORS.

[–]schooldays 3 points4 points ago

Victory to the victors.

That's totally going to be my battle-cry from now on.

[–]queenpandora 1 point2 points ago

It would intimidate the hell out of me, I'll say that for sure!

[–]brookuslicious 1 point2 points ago

I wish I could take a photo. Alas, my cat cannot take a photo.

[–]Armatage_Shanks 0 points1 point ago

My name is Victor. I support this battle cry.

[–]WhitePostIt 2 points3 points ago

I succeeded, but I had to overlap my thumbs to do it.

[–]zennz29 0 points1 point ago

[–]JorgeCS 0 points1 point ago

Nope.

[–]JelloThere 0 points1 point ago

yup, and now I am off to find others who can do the same.

[–]Devon302 9 points10 points ago

obviously no one has joined Reddit in the last 9 months.

[–]scrambles57 17 points18 points ago

9 months ago. I think that's a fair length of time to repost something. There are always people who haven't seen it.

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points ago

I don't always see new, beautiful, original content... but when I do, it's a repost.

[–]Owncksd 19 points20 points ago

It's been nearly a year. Jesus, let it go.

[–]Bryz_ 19 points20 points ago

TIL 9 is nearly 12.

[–]queenpandora 12 points13 points ago

Welcome to Third Grade.

[–]DrPersuader 4 points5 points ago

Welcome to Engineering, I'd say.

[–]santa26 2 points3 points ago

good find

[–]BenjaminSkanklin -2 points-1 points ago

Now it's going to get 20x more upvotes for no good reason.

It's the fuckin' way she goes.

[–]brownbearclan 9 points10 points ago

Flashes fellow Redditor an upvote. Gets shot by gang member.

[–]OmniaII 29 points30 points ago

Not this shit again...

[–]Devon302 12 points13 points ago

I mean, this is the first time its been reposted, and the original was 9 months ago. Not really that bad. Edit: this is going off karmadecay

[–]OmniaII 19 points20 points ago

no, it's been posted lots more than once, maybe not this particular image, however, the concept of the finger arrow has been over done to death.

[–]Devon302 -1 points0 points ago

really? I swear I haven't seen this once in the 8 months I've been on here. Or the concept of it.

[–]ztherion 11 points12 points ago

I saw this soon after I joined reddit over two years ago. It's not new.

[–]Cynovae 1 point2 points ago

Yeah we had a whole string of different methods.

[–]OmniaII 0 points1 point ago

Sadly, it's not the easiest thing to look for.

Too many ways to 'hide/title' finger arrow, my hand arrow, reddit upvote hands, reddit gang sign etc., etc. et.al.

[–]humhum 0 points1 point ago

i've seen this posted more than 2 years ago...don't ask me how i remember.

[–]Lakolguy 4 points5 points ago

[–]YelIowmamba 0 points1 point ago

I tried doing this and it's actually pretty hard.

[–]fishermanhumor 2 points3 points ago

I had to try it myself, as if i believed your hands are not normal.

[–]Lilyo 0 points1 point ago

My hands don't work that way.

[–]Habieru7 0 points1 point ago

did anybody else try it?

[–]chiqadeee 0 points1 point ago

No.

Someone please; Middle fingers, flipped image

[–]xTreeLine -1 points0 points ago

How was this picture taken...?

[–]Vulturas -1 points0 points ago

Now we need a super cool secret handshake so all of us will know it!

What did I do wrong up there? Everything.

[–]IDOWNTOWNI 7 points8 points ago

100% of you tried this.

[–]colemorris 6 points7 points ago

I didn't.

[–]saltytrey 2 points3 points ago

How did you take this picture?

[–]BenjaminSkanklin 6 points7 points ago

Who was fone?

[–]elgevillawngnome 1 point2 points ago

He didn't. I did back in March of last year. My ex's hands, I'm behind the camera.

[–]mypantsareonmyhead 0 points1 point ago

It's the hands from two different people.

[–]saltytrey 1 point2 points ago

No, Redditors don't have friends.

[–]merxX 5 points6 points ago

People are seriously upvoting a picture of an arrow to the front page?

OMG but it is le upvote arrow!!1! Upboats to you good sir!!!

[–]Deliberate_Reposter -1 points0 points ago

How'd you take the picture?

[–]TheOnlyQman -1 points0 points ago

How did he take a picture of his own hands?

[–]alloyd328 -1 points0 points ago

Now I have something to do when all my friends who just joined sororities put up their greek signs.

[–]Sansetsukan -1 points0 points ago

That can't be a redditor there would have to be someone else to take the picture

[–]Palmsiepoo -1 points0 points ago

This just in, Jay-Z and DDP sue reddit for trademark infringement.

[–]FaZaCon 0 points1 point ago

[–]cfsoko22589 -1 points0 points ago

The sign of RedditorS

FTFY

[–]BloodyDog 0 points1 point ago

Wait a second... How the hell did she take this picture?!

[–]Synthetik 0 points1 point ago

Must have been hard to hold the camera to take that photo!

[–]-TheWaddleWaddle- -1 points0 points ago

No shit, but I have been doing this preschool. Looks like I finally found a use for it!

[–]onebadmofo -1 points0 points ago

Then who was camera?

[–]DoctorMagazine -1 points0 points ago

There's a reason you can only make this sign toward yourself...

[–]Yorkb -1 points0 points ago

Drink the cool aid. Everyone's doing it

[–]needmorebooks -1 points0 points ago

I guess I'm way too sentimental because I thought it looked like a home.

[–]gp133 -1 points0 points ago

I love this

[–]KoolKilla3000 -1 points0 points ago

just spent 5 minutes trying to do this -_______-

[–]moxie132 -1 points0 points ago

How did she take this photo?

[–]tehlaser -1 points0 points ago

TIL that my index fingers are not actually the same length.

[–]xxxMapLockxxx -1 points0 points ago

I thought this was the sign of the Illuminati?

[–]vajonah -1 points0 points ago

I thought this was the Jay-Z Illuminati sign for a second.

[–]rivond -1 points0 points ago

TIL the whole point of the sign was an upvote in the middle gap. Always thought it was just a triangle with my hands. Some times my stupidity amazes me /sigh

[–]BlueWolf118229 -1 points0 points ago

So, how did you take the picture?

[–]kriegsdrachen -1 points0 points ago

Can we just do this instead of the retarded Narwhal Bacon thing?

[–]OnlineGrandpa -1 points0 points ago

yes.

[–]harrylolman 0 points1 point ago

Nice fail with the photo-shopping there

[–]PossiblyPhotoshopped 0 points1 point ago

What? This is a real image....

[–]harrylolman 0 points1 point ago

You can see a logo at the top left corner.

[–]PossiblyPhotoshopped 0 points1 point ago

yeah, its a folder behind my hands... ಠ_ಠ Possibly is only a slight chance

[–]Nymphadorena -1 points0 points ago

More like the mark of an airbending master!

[–]powertheqwerty 0 points1 point ago

I tried it...

[–]hick 0 points1 point ago

I'm well aware of what website I'm on, I don't need constant reminders.

[–]danoll 0 points1 point ago

I was hoping it was a picture of someone holding a sign that said "redditor".

[–]Hoppux 1 point2 points ago

WHY ISNT THIS A THING

[–]GOONicus 0 points1 point ago

I can't do this with my hands

[–]PotatoCamera 0 points1 point ago

Redditors now flashing gang signs.

[–]dibbledabbledobble 0 points1 point ago

If you have fat fingers, it doesn't look right.

[–]N_Kirk 0 points1 point ago

I feel the sudden urge to upvote people IRL...gonna have to downvote people IRL a lot to get used to doing it upside down....

[–]Pessle 0 points1 point ago

Last year /r/Starcraft sponsored South Korean progamer Lee "Marineking" Jung Hoon to go to MLG Orlando here's his attempt at it after winning a big match on the mainstage.

Nerd chills were had.

[–]kissthegirl93 0 points1 point ago

Everyone of these people just made that with their fingers.

[–]get413 0 points1 point ago

Why are your hands so perfect!!! My hands look retarded and my arrow looks anorexic.

[–]desquibnt 0 points1 point ago

So now we're reposting the top links of all time, huh

This is way cooler than doing the horn thing at the Elks Lodge

The rock is in the building...

[–]Baracuda7711 0 points1 point ago

If you guys seriously do this, I'll kill myself. Reddit is a cult enough as it is, much less needing a gang sign.

can you post a tutorial on how to make this gang sign? I can't seem to do it :)

[–]ilikethepoopoo 0 points1 point ago

how did he/she take a picture using both hands to make the sign.. hmm.. nuclear radiation exposure..

[–]caekles 2 points3 points ago

After doing it, I tried seeing what it would look like from the other side and ended up downvoting myself.

[–]edditorRay 0 points1 point ago

Should be pointing the other way.

[–]freeman08 -1 points0 points ago

This is how I'm going to question potential Redditors in the wild

[–]Alphreak -1 points0 points ago

I do this when I'm giving someone an upvote IRL.

[–]RagingBonus 1 point2 points ago

you want an upvote? oh... downvote.

[–]kllyforman -1 points0 points ago

The first thing I thought: yeah, that's definitely only one person making the upvote. No way any person on Reddit could have actual friends to do this with...

[–]Dimination -1 points0 points ago

YES! Another thing I fail miserably at.

[–]AudibleKnight -1 points0 points ago

Wow, I feel stupid. I looked at that picture and tried to figure out what was so special about a triangle sign made with your hands. At first I thought it might be for a solar flare, but the hands are different. I then learned that it might the hand sign made by WWF wrestler Diamond Dalls. However that was not the case.

Upon reading other comments though, it's supposedly two hands make the sign of an up arrow, or up vote.

[–]TremendousPete 1 point2 points ago

Pfft, Like a redditor would be outside.

[–]Jeffthechampion 1 point2 points ago

They obviously aren't up on home fashion trends like granite penis tops. Noobs

[–]Kingfoot 1 point2 points ago

OHMYGAWD It's the FedEx arrow ALL OVER AGAIN.

[–]MinorLogic -1 points0 points ago

MKP (professional SCII player) shows the crowd his upvote in this video. For those of you who did not know, the fine folks of /r/starcraft helped to fund MKP to come to this MLG event which is why he upvoted the crowd after his victory.

[–]Daneruu -1 points0 points ago

Reddit, we have a gangsign.

[–]you_lose_ -1 points0 points ago
