and I think Pippin gets petrified by the Nazgûl.

Sounds about right. Fool of a Took!

I haven’t read the book yet, so I don’t know if this scene is explained further (or if it’s even in the book), but one thing I’ve thought about lately is, how the Hell did they pull that off? Like, what made the Nazgul go to that room, instead of the one where the ring that supposedly calls to them is actually located?

The only thing that really makes sense to me is if the Hobbit Gang already rented a room for themselves, and the Nazgul got the info from the barkeep, who didn’t know they were with Aragorn.

I’m nearly done reading it for the first time. If memory serves, Bilbo attempts to be a sneaky burglar for the first time with the trolls, but accomplishes nothing besides getting himself captured, and the dwarves bagged when they tried saving him. While he’s laying in a bush, Gandalf does the voice trick, and reveals himself with the “the dawn will take you all!”

In the movie, Bilbo wastes their time by making pointless cooking suggestions, until the sun comes up just enough for Gandalf to break the rock and do the “dawn take you all” bit. Thorin complains to Gandalf that Bilbo got them captured in the first place, but Gandalf commends Bilbo for having “the nous to beg for time”.

So the movie actually moves the accomplishment from Gandalf to Bilbo

I could be wrong, I’ve only read the book this once. But in the book, wasn’t it Gandalf who tricked the trolls? Bilbo hears a voice several times that sounds like the trolls, and the trolls mistake the voice for their own multiple times, and afterwards it’s revealed that it’s Gandalf’s voice

Thank God you were here to clarify. Here I was thinking people used to actually float around and get fired from bows. I wonder if the OP realizes that they’ve posted false information.

the remake with Bob Odenkirk lol

I haven’t heard anything about a remake, but Odenkirk was in the original version. He’s the director that tells Tommy he would make a great villain typecast.

I don’t think random people on Lemmy are going to have more accurate information than what has been publicly stated by Coffee Stain.

would be very very bad (for them lol).

Ok… so the company that provides the infrastructure for you to get electricity and heat finds it no longer financially viable to operate and shuts down… What’s the plan then?

Man, zooming in and looking at these icons was like a blast from the (not too far) past.

5’6"

definitely short

You just absolutely demolished so many a man’s ego

Someone else already said that Legolas’s involvement was created for the movies, but I will point out that Thranduil, Legolas’s father, is the Elvenking that imprisons them in the book (though he is not given the name Thranduil in “The Hobbit”), and Gimli’s relation to Gloin is also from the books.

So the meme stands to book lore if changed to, “the son of someone who…”

Lmao standing up and shouting “McDonald’s!” is my favorite video game mechanic

I wonder if this is the actual philosophy Google had at the time or if they always planned to be what they are now.

The reason they say this, is because using inspect element is going to give you a cleaner result 100% of the time with way less effort.

If you use an image editor, you have to worry about making sure all of the pixels line up properly, the right font is used, right font size is used, make sure that the margins are the same, if you make a small mistake you practically have to start all over…

Right click > inspect element > find the text block you want to toy with > type what you want > done. And it looks exactly the same as if it were part of the website, every time.

Different strokes, yes, but if I see someone cutting their food with a chainsaw I’ll at least make sure they know how a steak knife works.

Yup, I got through like 4 sentences and thought, “no way this guy wrote this up just for this post”, saw how long it was and the tell-tale formatting and yeah chatgpt wrote this

Nobody is upset that you posted something in the wrong community. They’re just trying to tell you where it might fit better. You don’t have to try to redefine things to make your post fit everywhere. Just accept this might not be the best place and move on.

You needed training to dive. You need cave training and cave equipment to cave dive.

I think it makes it clear that those with cave diving expertise can go in at their own risk

That’d be pretty disruptive to wild life and anyone with the expertise to go in

Figma balls lmao gottem

What all am I looking at here? This multiple plants in one pot? What’s all the clippings at the bottom?

I grow too so wondering if you might have some tricks up your sleeve I haven’t seen
