I'm starting to believe goblins do exist and they're out there grifting incels.

[-] Denjin@lemmings.world 3 points 5 months ago

Only just starting?

[-] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 70 points 5 months ago

Was Gollum willing to kill people for the ring? Yes.
Was Gollum completely obsessive about a ring? Also yes.
Would I want to be trapped in a room with Gollum and not Andrew Tate? Yes.

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 57 points 5 months ago

If i was stuck in a room with Gollum, Sauron and Tate with a gun and two bullets, I'd shoot Tate twice.

The bear deserves better food

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

The bear can just use him as a chew toy.

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

And then shoot him.

[-] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Hope the two bullets in Tate give it lead poisoning.

[-] HowAbt2morrow@futurology.today 7 points 5 months ago

Now isn’t that precious

[-] StellarExtract@lemm.ee 59 points 5 months ago

At least bad things are happening to ONE bad person. Andrew Tate, my beacon of hope.

[-] slaacaa@lemmy.world 21 points 5 months ago

My feelings exactly. We have to be happy about even small wins like this

[-] Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works 58 points 5 months ago

Him, his brother, Canadian benzo king, that uppity African-American with several baby mommas, orange deity, Yaxley-Fucking-Lennon et al. almost make me want to be anti cis white male… but then I realise that would make me more, not less, like them.

Kids, if you’re reading this, trust me when I say that if these guys are your heroes then you’ve fucked up already - but it’s never too late to save yourself. Good luck.

[-] HK65@sopuli.xyz 4 points 5 months ago

There is a serious problem of kids, especially boys, not having heroes these days.

[-] Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 months ago

I can’t say for sure, but I have no reason to doubt that.

[-] 96VXb9ktTjFnRi@feddit.nl 2 points 5 months ago

Villains all the more.

What living in Romania does to a mfr.

[-] Diva@lemmy.ml 20 points 5 months ago

Nosferatu-maxxing, it's this cool new trend

[-] HowAbt2morrow@futurology.today 19 points 5 months ago

It’s a nice.

[-] FeloniousPunk@lemmy.today 37 points 5 months ago

Looks more like andrew Taint to me.

[-] andros_rex@lemmy.world 35 points 5 months ago

Mainly I'm going to slave these bitches […] I'm going to make them work even more hours and hours and hours.. I work these bitches like slaves. […] SLAVE work. Minimum 10 or 12 hours a day."

"I don't want to tell them that they have OnlyFans, I want that money to be used by me and you, screw them…"

"I don't want them to have the passwords, I don't want them to have anything."

The death penalty is kind for men like this.

[-] rcbrk@lemmy.ml 18 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Flows nicely, but it's an inaccurate collage of plot elements.

  • Isildur lost the ring in a river.
  • Déagol found the ring in a river.
  • Sméagol killed Déagol for the ring.
  • Sméagol (now Gollum) lost the ring in a cave.
  • Bilbo, Frodo, Sam, Frodo, Gollum, 🌋?
[-] PieMePlenty@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

So one thing I don't get.. Hobbits are supposed to be like a nice race, not easily corruptible, all they want is food and peace. A hobbit would be the best race to trust with the one ring. Bilbo had it for like 80+ years and gave it away, Frodo threw it away and ignored it for like 18 years, Sam didn't give a shit about it... So why did it corrupt Sméagol so? He was a hobbit too.

[-] Tattorack@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

That's the thing, though. It did corrupt them.

Almost everyone who touched the ring immediately got curropted by it, with the exception of Frodo, but in the end it did work on him anyway.

Bilbo tried keeping the ring a secret as soon as he found it.

Sam had difficulties giving the ring back to Frodo, and he only had it for a day or two.

And if I remember correctly, I think the situation with Sméagol was accelerated for the movie scene.

[-] PieMePlenty@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Yeah, I get that. They were all influenced in some way. I thought hobbits were supposed to be perfect for the job as they were considered lesser in power than the other races, so the ring wouldn't really empower them as much, thus less chance of corruption. The same reason they couldnt just fly to Mt Doom on the eagles as they were a powerful race, more susceptible to corruption. Gollum wanted the ring more than life itself and killed for it very quickly so I find its just that aspect I find hard to believe.

[-] medgremlin@midwest.social 6 points 5 months ago

I have interpreted it less as "the hobbits are less powerful", and more as "what would a powerful hobbit even want?".

If a hobbit had all the power in Middle Earth, they would have an amazingly cozy hobbit hole with the best food and their parties and garden would be the envy of every hobbit and probably some elves and men. Hobbits don't really have much interest in conquest, and their definition of dominance includes being well-liked or admired by those they dominate.

[-] slingstone@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Smeagol had the ring for nearly 500 years and never completely succumbed to its power like the ring-wraiths did. While he was corrupted, he still had a spark of himself under all those centuries of madness. I believe Gandalf specifically points this out somewhere. Something about the nature of hobbits enabled them to resist the ring better than any other race, even the high elves that had lived on Valinor--heck, even Gandalf, a Maia, feared to take up the ring. The only person who seemed able to bear it with no corruption was Tom Bombadil in the books.

[-] Danquebec@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 months ago

Sméagol is from a race that was closely related to hobbita, but not exactly hobbits.

he looks like he's one of those trolls that live under bridges

[-] LostWon@lemmy.ca 10 points 5 months ago

He should use that picture in his "BRUV" party campaign for UK Prime Minister (which is totally not just about attracting money from Elon Musk).

Oh boy, dude hit the wall running.

[-] don@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago

Dude really shouldn’t have hit the wall that fast, but I’m glad he did lol

[-] usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 4 points 5 months ago

Didn't Gollum find the ring in a lake?

[-] juliebean@lemm.ee 16 points 5 months ago

he lost it at an underground lake, where bilbo found it. gollum found the ring in a river, or rather, his friend found it in a river, and then gollum killed him and took it from him.

[-] Tattorack@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Is this a recent picture? Because I'm pretty sure he's back on YouTube talking shit like an edgy 13 year old...

[-] LandedGentry@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Looks like he was worked like a bitch. Slave work 12 hours a day!
