    Hobbit rockets never leave the ground. They use pipe-weed as fuel and, by T plus 60 of any launch, the engineers are all giggling on the launch pad eating funions as a quick post-elevenses snack.

      That would explain why Gandalf likes visiting the Shire so much

    Legit question. Can the ring influence targeting computers over long distances? Or modern llms?

      No but I’m sure it literally would affect any mortal programming the computer, or seeing the LLM out with such a purpose.

    one does not simply ICBM into Mordor.

    Also. we can easily create temperatures far exiding mount Doom’s lava.

      Maybe even ye olde thermite could do something

    This is more of an orbital nuclear defense question since Mordor has a pretty in depth strategy against this sort of threat. Frodo probably didn’t consider this option because of the Pan-Middle Earth nuclear deescalation agreement of the second age, sub section 2, page five, which if violated could have big international downstream effects.

    I mean, it all looks so simple.

    Question, if I have an unbreakable ring, what cool things could an engineer do with that?

    • LaLuzDelSol@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Well it’s interesting that it makes regular ringing/metallic sounds when it’s dropped(at least in the movies), so it is not inelastic. Which means it could be deformed if placed under extreme force but it would always spring back into shape. So I think it might be the world’s most powerful spring.

        is there something useful that can be done with just ONE unbreakable spring?

    • the_strange@feddit.org ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Give it to someone like Styropyro, they’ll figure out how to break it.

      A drill bit, maybe?

      It really depends on the other material properties. Like if it’s as slippery as nylon vs as slippery as rubber is really gonna change things. Plus how does it react to outside forces trying to destroy it? Absorption? Diffusion? Conversion (like heat into sound or something).

      All that would drastically change what you could do with it

      • IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        the question is, with only ONE of those rings, is there something useful to be done?

    What’s your equation to enter the cave?

    • BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      If you increase ∆v enough it cancels out the equation for entering the cave.
