Sarcastic response

I once argued that Gandalf, with his mastery of magical fireworks, should have worked with the dwarves and elves to make a single stage rocket launcher with the ring as a payload. The Soviets made single stage rocket launchers that could make it the roughly 300 miles from Rivendale to Mordor, so I figured with the craftsmanship of the dwarves, the light and strong materials of the elves, and Gandalf’s magical fireworks they could make something to go at least a hundred miles. Then he could get on Eagle back, her high enough up for a good trajectory and fire the ring straight into the lava before Sauron could even focus on the eagle popping up on the horizon

Just don’t miss, that would be bad

I was one of the people arguing against Frodo but my buddy convinced me with this argument:

The point of Frodo was to carry the burden of the ring without succumbing to it. Nobody was able to do this. Frodo pulled it off (albeit barely) because of his willpower, and the strong bond with his buddy Sam. Sam was the MVP for sure, however I think if Sam has been the one carrying the ring he’d have been affected in a similar way to Frodo.

At the end of the day, I think they succeeded because they made an excellent team- they played to their strengths and backed each other up when they needed it most and got the job done in the end in a way that no one man, or hobbit, or whatever, could have done.

Frodo by himself looks weak, but that’s the point. His strength is holding that ring and being just strong enough to get the job done, with a bunch of help from his bro Sam.

Someone, somewhere said that lemmy users would upvote a can of beans

And here we are

[–] jackoneill 4 points 2 years ago

Yeah same here. Ever since the Reddit api cutoff lemmy hasn’t worked for me - mostly error messages. I figure they are working hard on scaling out so I’m just gonna be patient and enjoy whatever does load for me.
