    I dont do tools, or work on cars or anything, but I literally just bought a $20 rachet set with like 50+ pieces, and the one time I use it on my car to remove the battery, I lose the 10mm… I didn’t realize this was so common. I must have spent like an hour in the parking lot looking for it and felt a fool for losing it. This isn’t so much humorous as it is vindication! I am not a fool! Or atleast, we all are.

    Has anyone stopped to consider that we may have the causality backwards here?

    We know that frodo becomes invisible when wearing the ring, perhaps the reason we can never find the 10mm is that this was already done?

    • I also wonder if we’re approaching this the right way. The Ring hast strange powers and works in subtle ways to get to its chosed ringbearer.

      Maybe this is the trick to never lose your 10mm again. At least not for very long.

    How would losing the ring save middle earth? Sauron would have won if the ring wasn’t destroyed.

      No, but what they’re saying is … Well, it’s funny because… Just shut up! Coming around here with all your LOGIC! Ruining our jokes.

    Am I missing something about the zip tie shown here? Those things are pretty easy to cut open, easily defeating this lock or w/e.

      It’s not about locking it.

      Mechanics will always misplace a 10mm socket head so the joke is attach the ring to the socket and now the ring will never be found.

        But Sauron doesn’t need to have the ring to draw power from it. Even without knowing where the ring is, he’ll conquer Middle Earth unless it’s destroyed.

        Oh I guess I misread the other comments, I assumed they were talking about a wrench or something to use on the socket rather than the socket thing itself

    I think the image of the 10mm is supposed to go behind the ring. Otherwise the zip tie creates an impossible perspective, I think.
