ignoring the oath and the consequences of not giving up silmarils. which do you think is morally the most correct re: who should get the silmarils?

silmaril-ownership-poll

Look, I’d go with Regular Inheritance Law, treating the Silmarils as just another piece of property. That ought to make the Feanorians just as mad even though it means they keep title.

Except that this is thousands of years ago, everyone’s dead and/or in Elf Space Heaven and/or Not, so we should really be applying regular archaeology law.

The Silmarils belong to the British Museum.

Please reblog after you’ve voted I am genuinely very curious to see how many tumblr users know each of these

You know, I always heard tumblr users were a bunch of kinky weirdos but I’m not so sure. I checked the polls and everyone here is super into vanilla.

the thing with pokemon is they all stop at 3 dimensions.  there’s no 10-dimensional geodudes.  i know nothing of pokemon but i feel like i would’ve heard about it if there were hypergeodudes.  i have explicitly arranged my life such that if this were the case someone probably would’ve told me

sigmaleph:

suppose your body has magically decoupled its functioning from your food intake. you no longer experience hunger or fullness, digestive problems, allergies, tooth decay, etc no matter what (or whether) you eat. food still tastes the way it did before, and any psychoactive properties (from caffeine or alcohol or whatever) are still there.

would you:

a) eat much less than you did before, since you don’t have to?

b) eat much more than you did before, since you can’t get full or experience any other negative side-effect from it and food is pleasant?

c) eat about the same but with much less care taken to avoiding ‘unhealthy’ foods, or foods you in particular couldn’t tolerate well?

d) avoid foods that might have ethical issues that you weren’t avoiding before?

e) leave your eating habits basically unchanged?

f) some combination of the above?

g) some change in an entirely orthogonal direction to the ones i’ve listed here?

  1. in the hypothetical, which is distinct from the post about the hypothetical, am i informed directly of the rules of the change or just left to intuit that it isn’t just another inscrutable biological shift?
  2. is the thrust of the hypothetical “only you experience this” or “everyone experiences this”?

you are directly informed of the rules of the change. this happens to a small number of people yourself among them and it’s a recognised phenomenon, but not to everyone.

Sorry can’t hear anyone over me bankrupting Old Town Country Buffet.
