He'd only vanish if he put it on his prolapse.

The real question is whether meat has be completely passing through the ring hole.

If that's the case, sticking it in his butt would probably work too since a lot of your intestines are innards are squeezed together enough to essentially be flat. If it's being pushed along on it's side with peristalsis and any of of your bowels touches through the ring hole... you turn invisible for a minute.

Just imagine how strange it'd be seeing a halfing pop in and out of existence running at you with a blue sword that can tell him that you're nearby...

What does this look like to Sauron?

[–] MajorMajormajormajor@lemmy.ca 14 points 6 months ago

They would be looking at each other, eye to eye.

[–] SrTobi@feddit.de 17 points 6 months ago (1 children)

No I'm more interested what happens if you use the one ring as cockring? And to what size will it adjust?

[–] Hupf@feddit.de 10 points 6 months ago

Don't worry about it.

But now that the cat's out of the bag...

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 2 points 6 months ago

Butt first...

[–] jsomae@lemmy.ml 6 points 6 months ago

The ring would leave him.

Frodo's necklace isn't invisible; therefore, we can assume that it does not work unless worn on a body part specifically, as he is wearing it while it is on the necklace but he is not invisible.

The real question is what body parts would work. Fingers obviously do, but would toes? Cockring? Nose piercing? Could you say that the ring being in his butt counts as wearing it? If someone can go outside wearing nothing but a buttplug, then there is some president.

Can only buttplugs be worn, or can anything be worn in the butt? Is a ring a buttplug? Cash or credit?

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 2 points 6 months ago

If someone can go outside wearing nothing but a buttplug, then there is some president.

President is the person who runs the organization or country. Precedent is the thing where an action is preceded by a similar recognized action.

But I really like the idea that someone goes out on a brisk day with their asshole whistling in the breeze because it's held open with a ring. Then, out of nowhere, the leader of the country gets mixed up in the whole mess.

I'm probably bad at explaining it, but the ring doesn't make everyone invisible, just hobbits. The ring wants to be worn so that it can exert the most control over the wearer in an attempt to return to sauron, it tempts people to wear it by giving them a taste of what they desire the most and hobbits simply want to be left alone and not seen or bothered, which is why they just turn invisible. This is also why hobbits are the idea race to carry and protect the ring as they dont crave power so it is harder for the ring to corrupt them.

Isn't there a scene where either Aragon or Boromir wears the ring and turns invisible? Or am I making this up?

[–] clemdemort@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

In the movie Isildur wears it and turns invisible! :)

[–] llamapants@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Ahh, okay, thanks! It's been a while since I last watched

[–] Lobreeze@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You are making it up. Boromir tries to take it from Frodo and Frodo puts it on during the altercation.

That was the movies though, can't remember if that was the books as well.

[–] clemdemort@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Actually no he isn't, in the movie Isildur wears it and turns invisible! The argument now resides in determining if the movies are canon or not.

[–] brap@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It adjusted it's size yeah? And it sought power. So if someone powerful and large were near would Frodo be in for quite the surprise?

Do you have the One Ring on your dick, or are you just happy to see me ;)

[–] atro_city@fedia.io 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I don't know the lore, but what initially happens with the ring? Anything that passes through it vanishes?

[–] groet@feddit.de 13 points 6 months ago (2 children)

No. It's not a magic invisibility field inside. It's a magic object that works only on living "intelligent" creatures. It also doesn't work the same on different races. Only humans (hobbits are a subtype of human in Tolkiens lore) turn invisible. And because it's magic it also turns their clothing etc invisible. So either Frodo and his poop is invisible or nothing is.

[–] madcaesar@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

This guy Tolkiens!

[–] axsyse@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 6 months ago

Of note, it also straight up doesn't work on Tom Bombadil. He is immune to its temptation, and it doesn't make him invisible.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Sir this is a Wendy's.

[–] jeffw@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

The cashier is just making that face because they are disturbed at how long they spent contemplating that deep question while mindlessly scanning your shit

[–] CryptidBestiary@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Probably none of that, since a ring is made for a finger. It probably magically detects if it has made contact with one. Now, if the question was what if it was put on a severed finger, then that is something to think about

[–] MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

I mean we see that with Sauron and Frodo in the films. It would appear that having the ring on your finger when severed does fuck all to help you out.

[–] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

So if someone was fingerblasting Frodo with the ring on, and then someone cut their finger off mid fingerblast, you're saying that only the finger would turn invisible, and not Frodo? Even if it's in his butt?
