Girls?

Excuse me, I'm pretty sure I'm not a girl and I want it!

Pointlessly-gendered 16th century rings that unfold into an astronomical sphere.

Fr. Someone start making reproductions

[–] [email protected] 30 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I just checked and there are a ton. You can get one for like 3 bucks on Amazon.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

These are 99¢ on AliExpress.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago (1 children)

There are some versions sold online for 90 dollars it seems. I'm totally sending this to my wife.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Amazon has them for $5.40.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

and yet somehow bigots still demand proof that gender is a spectrum 💁💁💁

Biblically accurate ring.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Fuck girls. I want that ring!

Never tried impressing a girl by buying her a platter of mature cheddar

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago

As someone with a wife from Wisconsin, it's highly effective.

[–] RoquetteQueen 26 points 4 months ago

Actually, yeah, that would be really cool

Biblical accurate angel ring

[–] CryptoKitten 19 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I bought an identical one on aliexpress for a few bucks and I wonder if it was a reproduction or if this is exactly the same thing portrayed as a 16th century ring. I think the later is most likely.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Can you find out and get back to me please.

I bet the quality of this is also astronomical.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 months ago (2 children)

This is one of those awesome things that you’ll find in every size but the one you need. So you buy a size up and hope to find a use for it someday. But alas, you never do, and there it sits indefinitely, occasionally catching your interest and making you go “aww that was neat.. shame it didn’t fit”, until you die and it ends up at a thrift shop.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

nah babe, your knuckles keep getting bigger for like you’re entire life. rings are totally one of those things you can grow into!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Gold chain, now it's a necklace!

Fuck, that looks like such a good fidget toy, I want it!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

I’ve worn an 8 band puzzle ring for probably 40 years now (mine is silver, not gold) and it does indeed make a good fidget toy. Back in high school I taught myself to put it together behind my back, by feel only, when in school.

A friend of mine in college refused to let me show her how to put it together. It took her almost a full semester during a really boring class to figure it out herself.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

I mean, I'd lose it immediately, but I still want it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Not a ring, but if you have access to a 3d printer, I have one of these and I really like it

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 months ago (1 children)

But how do you avoid your fingers getting chopped off when it unfolds?

[–] [email protected] 50 points 4 months ago

Some people report they prefer to take it off before unfolding it. But they are unverified reports so take this info with a grain of salt.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 months ago

Don't be afraid

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

That's not an astronomical ring. Orbits are planar, so spherical

[–] VintageTech 8 points 4 months ago

You think I make "16th Century Jewelry" money??? I'm out here fightin' for my life.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

Mine just wants a ring 🥴

[–] Lucidlethargy 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That's actually a massive ring... Like it would be very uncomfortable.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

How can you tell how big it is from the photo with nothing but the ring in it?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

I bought one of those from Wish years ago. Looked identical to that.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

I prefer mine that comes apart into a puzzle that you get to put back together before you can wear it again...
But like actually I love it so much.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

thats just the wheel of power
