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.

[–]superfahd 692 points693 points ago

please tell me the other one is orange!

[–]LynxFX 733 points734 points ago

Yes our side is orange. It is fun looking through to the East Coast.

*edit: better image. Portals are hard to capture with modern technology.

[–]jbcorny 280 points281 points ago

your side seems to be watching sports coverage instead of the other office...

      ah! do this! I want to see this!

      [–]itorres1490 23 points24 points ago

      Are the speakers on the orange one playing sound effects? Or is there also an audio feed being passed through?

      [–]LynxFX 44 points45 points ago

      Audi being passed through. Portals transfer audio right?

      [–]TyPower 127 points128 points ago

      Unfortunately, portals or no, I still can't download an Audi.

      [–]jsproat 85 points86 points ago

      You wouldn't actually download a car, would you?

      ...Well, someone had to say it.

            Why doesn't it run in fullscreen mode?

            Edit: Nevermind, the picture was changed.

            [–]Sarkli11 21 points22 points ago

            Because portals aren't fullscreen. They're ovals.

                    [–]RedSquaree 7 points8 points ago

                    Awesome but this side is slightly less impressive. Smaller TV?

                    [–]Andrewm319 2 points3 points ago

                    Can we see you two take a picture of each other through the portal?

                      They need to put a mirror on the opposite wall that reflects the (hopefully) orange portal which shows the OPs office.

                        Do you guys have an orange portal? Reddit wants to know.

                        [–]rodmandirect 74 points75 points ago

                        Reddit is being very serious here. It appears that's going to be the theme of many of these threads: THIS GUY'S DICK PICTURES ARE AROUND HERE SOMEWHERE, AND WE WANT FOR ALL HIS COWORKERS TO BE AWARE OF THAT.

                        [–]Ggah 2 points3 points ago

                        Portal is orange and too much dick to be unseen

                        [–]LynxFX 59 points60 points ago

                        [–]Samizdat_Press 5 points6 points ago

                        Pictures can be faked. I want to see you bounce a laser off a mirror hosted in the west coast office's end of the portal. Somehow involve explosions as well.

                              We have a guy who does that. When we painted him blue, he got mad.

                              He probably found out how much the real Blue Men make.

                                  I work at a medium-sized non-gaming related tech company in New England. Sorry I can't be more specific, but I don't want anyone from work finding my GW dick pics or whatever.

                                    Not to mention he has a picture of his car in his post history. You can see a few letters of the plate. If this guy was trying to be sly he's really bad at it.

                                                  Fun fact: It's over two hundred years old.

                                                  Fun fact Europeans don't see 200 years as old.

                                                  Edit For a piece of land, it would still be considered old, for say, a horse.

                                                  As some friends from home (UK) pointed out when I mentioned the tour guides going past my office banging on about this 200 year old street in Boston : "Americans think 200 years is a long time. We think 200 miles is a long distance."

                                                  [–]eyupmush 12 points13 points ago

                                                  I find it hard to wrap my head around the American concept of distance, it's 50 miles to my home town but I'd consider that a fair treck.

                                                  Aye, you do start to get used to it though. A friend of mine who emigrated to Connecticut and I met up for lunch a couple of months ago. 1 1/2 hours drive for each of us to a midpoint restaurant. Never would have bothered with that back home.

                                                  Well, unless there was another incentive, of course.

                                                    All parts of the planet are equally old. Some just got better publicity than others.

                                                                                                Have the entire wall in two bars be just a giant video screen and cameras with real time two way video feed.

                                                                                                Have the music piped in so both bars have the same entertainment and you can literally dance with someone who is on the other side of the world.

                                                                                                    Edit: The bathrooms did not share a wall

Animosity will build. Superiority complexes will start growing like nettles hopped up on miracle grow. And don't forget lots of good old fashion loathing.

                                                                                                                Of course, they will feel the same about you.

                                                                                                                The plan, set loose, runs mad with uncontrollable rage. The end result: The world in ashes.

I can see this becoming a standard thing for the elderly or remote individuals who have a hard time meeting people. They could have static, passive communities on webcams that are on larger displays and maybe sound as well so that you dont feel like your skyping with someone, but just going day to day. "hey frank how are you" "good bob you". And If you didnt like your community you could leave.

So every so often as someone walks by they would think they saw something, but upon inspection it would never be there.
