Second-guessing and Misunderstanding Tolkien

[Radaghast]

Or 'alleged'.

 

[Squint-eyed Southerner]

Or "Abyssmal"?

 

[Radaghast]

How better would Arda look like if it was made by Eru Himself without Ainur's involvement?

How better indeed 🙄

 

[Radaghast]

Or "Abyssmal"?

Abysmal even 😜

 

[Squint-eyed Southerner]

Oops. Not enough coffee. 😄

 

[Radaghast]

That's okay. I just today realized that 'abysmal' is related to 'abyss'. The word 'abyssal' was created for Dungeons and Dragons so maybe I'm not the only one who didn't know that.

[Glorfindel Goldtress]

Correct, though that answer seems like it was AI generated too.

More like AU -- Artificial Unintelligence.

 

[Olorgando]

AI, like all software, needs programming.
All programming (my guess) is done by nerds who need to get out of their "caves" and get a lot of fresh air ... 🥴

We call those things Knuckle-Draggers.

Or asinine ... or, or, or appallingly asinine (which is really, really shockingly asinine)

Hmmmm ... maybe the term once had a lot of A's before the I was reached ... 🤔

... ah, of course, then a data-compression program kicked in and reduced all of those redundant A's to a single one 🤓 ...

... meaning data compression can lead to a loss of information, it seems ... have we unearthed some dark, sinister secret lurking behind "A" "I"? 😬

 

[Vorondil]

Or maybe the 'A' stands for 'aecnósle', which means 'degenerate' in Old English.

That's a pretty disturbing scene...really. 😬
I watch it in fascinated horror.

 

[Radaghast]

In the movie "The Two Towers" the orcs laugh when Pippin vomits and spits out some liquid stimulant given him. The orcs laugh and say "Can't take his draught!" In Tolkien's time, in South Africa were medicines taken in some sort of liquid suspension?

🤨🤔

What?! So now us South Africans have the same level of medicine as orcs? lots of medicine used to be in liquid form! And not only in South Africa, I might just add.

Amoxicillin for children is in a suspension...and it's delicious! I actually requested it as an adult one time.

I rather enjoyed the sore throat syrups as a child.

I have no idea what that is. It sounds like it was invented by the Aztecs.
