Whether you take pumpkin carving seriously or not, the Jack-o'-lantern remains an important part of every Halloween. Although carving squashes and turnips have been a common practice in many parts of the world for a very long time, it is believed that this modern tradition has its roots in 19th-century Ireland, and it seems that it's here to stay.

From a dying phone battery to the haunting student loans, these Halloween pumpkin carvings etch deep into the human existence. These jack-o'-lantern faces remind us of the uncomfortable parts of reality and will make you sleep with the light on during the spookiest night of the year.

colleges be like : yes yes we want you to go to college but we also want you to spend 20 years paying for it

Americans ... We have to pay nothing. Like it should be. Education has to be free for all kind of people. Not just for those who can afford it. That is just stupid.

Comic Sans is actually one of the easiest for people with dyslexia to read because every character is just different enough. I get that it's a running joke but it really does help some people.

I am an old man who wears sandals with socks, so I know my opinion doesn't mean much, but Comic Sans looks fun and casual. PS. There is nothing as comfortable as sandals with socks! You will find out when you are too old to worry about being cool.

This is absolutely disgusting. Why would we have a bigger ego than anyond else. Get your head out of your a*s and into the real world. You use us as a scapegoat and blame all your problems on us. Sure, some of us are bad, but this generalization has to stop. I know only one egomaniac, and he happens to be male. Sure, male chauvanism still exists, but very few people actually practice it nowadays.

I don't get why people make this stereotype. Heavy drinkers are in every society. btw. Aren't you the same person that tried to stereotype males for having a big ego in a comment a bit below? A bit of stereotype lover, aren't you?

I’m not afraid of anything normal. I love snakes, sharks, and spiders. I love public speaking. I have No Fear of death and write a lot of funny stories about the grim reaper. I like heights and want to go parachuting one day. I love small, confined spaces. I went to a haunted house, got separated from my friends, and jokes with all of the actors as they threatened my life. ‘Twas grand. When people ask me what my biggest fear is, I swear I am not lying in the slightest when I say, “taxes, bills, identity theft, or computer viruses.” These are the things that terrify me.

Kinda.. It might be quite hard to take for people whose livelihood depends on EU. Yet I as a libertarian am getting pretty fed up with EU's restrictions and economy manipulation.. So I get where brits are comming from. There are alternatives to EU such as EFTA (which Switzerland and Norway are also part of).... Overall:(assuming brexit will go well) if you did something halfway useful for society and didn't just suck EU's money you will barely notice a change.

Look underneath the caption of the tweet where the time and date sign. That symbol with the 28 next to it is the retweet symbol. Meaning someone thought the picture was funny enough to retweet. The pumpkin is zero retweets.
