Some people have rings that are so tightly stuck that even soap does not help, but dental floss works for them. Meanwhile, others find dental floss painful even with a mildly stuck ring, yet soap works well for very tight rings. Why is some skin more sensitive to dental floss? And what makes some people’s skin respond better to either soap or dental floss?

It is not about the ring size but about the height of the metal part. The circle opening in the ring is the ring size.

I edited the post to add an image of a similar ring design. You can look at it.

You have ring size, width, and height. I would like to know which height I should choose for a ring. The options are:

  • 1 mm
  • 2 mm
  • 3 mm
  • 4 mm
  • 5 mm

I do not want the ring to hurt when putting it on and taking it off, but I also do not want the ring touching the other fingers too much. I have larger knuckles, so I want a ring with extremely rounded edges. However, the ring height should be big enough so that the rounded edges are comfortable enough for my big knuckles.

So, could anyone share their experience with ring height, when to choose which height in general situations, and which height to choose for myself?

No, I meant literal half cylinders that are attached to the ring so that the main band has multiple curves from these half cylinders. The edges should also have bigger cylinders in them so that the ring is comfortable to put on and take off, and so that the the small and big cylinders have the same height in the top. This is what I want as the ring design:

  • Total width: 10 mm
  • Total height: 3 mm
  • Width main band: 4 mm
  • Height main band: 2 mm
  • Width middle gray cylinder: 3 mm
  • Height middle gray cylinder: 1 mm when cut off in half or quarters so that the half cylinder can be attached to the main band
  • Width edges pale copper cylinders: 3 mm, should be attached to the edges
  • Height edges pale copper cylinders: 3 mm because the extra 1 mm should match the height of the middle gray cylinder

Is this more clear, or should I explain more?

I remember seeing a ring with extremely round edges and the colors pale copper and gray (or gold) combinations in half cylinders.

It had two pale copper and one gray (or gold) half cylinders, with the gray (or gold) half cylinder between the two pale copper cylinders.

The outside of the ring had three half cylinders (two pale copper and one gray (or gold)), while the inside was flat and pale copper in color, and the edges of the ring were extremely round and a cylinder.

The ring had three half cylinders stacked together in one ring. Two pale copper cylinders are placed between a flat pale copper, and the gray (or gold) cylinder is placed above the flat pale copper.

It was also a wide ring. Does anyone know about this ring design?

Edit: Here is an image of a ring that looks similar to my design. Only the edges should be pale copper, and the middle should be gray without diamonds:

or your fascination with ring removal is uniquely extreme.

Yes, this is the reason. I am interested in stuck rings and the process of ring removals.

[-] DayOk2@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Okay, but can you tell me that to make me understand?

[-] DayOk2@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

I do neither watch porn nor want to go to PornHub, so can you tell me what happens when searching for that?

[-] DayOk2@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Okay, what makes this post hilarious?

[-] DayOk2@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

I still don't understand what makes this post special.

[-] DayOk2@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Okay, but the thing is that while I also had other regrets, they were lessened after waiting. This however, seems like it is not going to lessen at all. Even if it seems like the regret disappeared, it comes back after one or a few days. My question is how to deal exactly with missed opportunities.

[-] DayOk2@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

I mean, this post is about how to get rid of regret, not about forcing the person to record it.

[-] DayOk2@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

I meant a tool that can hold a phone to record the ring removal.

[-] DayOk2@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

I think the reason is that these videos are interesting to me, but I do not know why.

I regret something and could use some advice on how to move past it. Recently, I was browsing YouTube and saw a comment from someone asking for help removing a stuck ring because their finger had swelled in the morning. I responded with a possible solution. A few minutes later, I deleted that comment and reposted the same advice, but this time, I also asked them to record and upload a video of the ring removal attempt.

Unfortunately, by the time I added the request to record, they had already seen my first comment and used the method I suggested. It took them one hour in total to remove the ring. I was really looking forward to seeing a video of the process because no existing videos are that long (most are around 30 minutes at most). They even mentioned they had a tool that could have easily recorded the attempt, so I missed a great opportunity to see this interesting and lengthy ring removal.

Now, I feel such regret because I had control over the situation but still wasted this chance. I know it is trivial in the grand scheme of things since it is just for entertainment, but I cannot help but feel disappointed. Asking the person to get their ring stuck again just to record it is obviously not an option, so I will never be able to see that footage.

Since this did not really affect my life in a major way, the usual advice on how to get rid of regret might not be as effective. How do I move past this feeling of missing out on something that could have been really interesting to watch?
