Yes, well done. A picture of two lions reminded you of two animated Lions. Still not ominous.

Edit:

Bah, beaten.

 

[santi_yo]

Not ominous.

 

[CountAntonius]

How terrifying must this have been.

Male lions will eat cubs.

Ominous enough now?

 

[alphaNoid]

And of course ...

No, the picture of the lion and the baby lion reminds me of the poignant scene between simba and his father on a cliff face... that or the next movie scene

 

[CountAntonius]

Wow...nightmare fuel.

 

[Log4Girlz]

Only of rivals. The lil' cub would be lunch already, as males kill rival cubs on sight.

What is going on here?

A member of Black September on an apartment balcony, hostages inside.

Wow...nightmare fuel.

darn he edited it out of his post just before i was about to copy it. Anyways, isn't that Mr. Yuck? My mom used to put his face on all the colorful cleaning products under the sink so I wouldn't drink them

I can't imagine being talked into standing at the front.

 

[ResidentDante]

This. You kind of get it why Titanic sunk after hitting one.

 

[Log4Girlz]

Always freaked me out how big they are really:

Iceberg flipping over

Iceberg implosion

You don't get talked into you, you get ordered.

 

[DGRE]

Yeah maybe the one I posted before wasn't ominous.

This is, though:

Iceberg flipping over

Holy shit! That's like something out of Inception.

This one is pretty good.

I'd she falls off she'll go back in time to the 60's.

If she ended up in the 60s that would be the future, considering that picture was taken in 1934.

om·i·nous   [om-uh-nuhs]
adjective
1. portending evil or harm; foreboding; threatening; inauspicious: an ominous bank of dark clouds.

There was a British/Canadian offensive two years prior to D-Day that experimented on the same type of landing. Much, much smaller in scale. It ended in a bloodbath and at one point the soldiers were ordered by gunpoint to embark on the beach. The bullets simply started hammering on the metal way before even reaching land.

Read about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dieppe_Raid

"A total of 3,623 of the 6,086 men (almost 60%) who made it ashore were either killed, wounded, or captured."

"Most notably, Dieppe highlighted:
The need for preliminary artillery support
The need for a sustained element of surprise
The need for proper intelligence concerning enemy fortifications
The avoidance of a direct frontal attack on a defended port city, and
The need for proper re-embarkation craft."

For the purposes of this thread, the first few definitions will apply as well. Particularly "foreboding".

Oh fuck. You know, I have read many horrifying things in my life, but that list is truly disturbing when you consider that each of those points is something that they didn't do the first time.

This is a fake. Got debunked like 10 years ago.

Yeah, the sad thing is that a lot of the small inventions learned from this and used on D-day from the British and Canadian (tanks that could cut barb-wire, mine diggers etc.) were dismissed by the US and not used by them. Allthough they hit the hardest points at Normandy (Omaha), they suffered a lot of uneccesary casualties because of it.

 

[squidyj]

Yeah maybe the one I posted before wasn't ominous.

This is, though:

They are all already dead :l


Pro tip? when the water goes out, when it really really goes out. don't hang out on the new beach. GET TO HIGH GROUND MOTHERFUCKER.

 

[Dereck]

...

Good God.

 

[Data West]

That and the security cam give me the shivers everytime I see them. Thank fucking god cell phone video didn't really exist back then, right?

 

[SteveWD40]

Boooooo

Not the only fake here mind, but I didn't know that it was.

Still, they are bigger under the water line.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

Good pick.

wow what a coincidence. Earlier today I think I was watching the video where that picture was taken. Was that the 2004 Tsunami in Thailand?

[ResidentDante]

Good pick.

What is it from?

 

[Para bailar La Bomba]

What is it from?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munich_massacre


The one of Goebbels is just chilling. Ominous in every sense.

 

[Oblivion]

These volcanic lightning photos are amazing.

Photoshopped.

Yeah it is. Just awful to imagine. I can't even imagine how 100,000 people died. It's so hard to fathom.

EDIT: That video was absolutely horrifying. There is no way in the world I could watch anymore of that.

Why does it have a hamburger ass?

Can't unsee.

If you ever search the rabbit hole of /b/, you can see everything from that day. EVERYTHING!

Half the people in this thread should look up the meaning of ominous:

"Giving the impression that something bad or unpleasant is going to happen."
