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

[–] Hubi@feddit.org 30 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] JimVanDeventer@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

These are 99¢ on AliExpress.

[–] S_H_K@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

Amazon has them for $5.40.

[–] yuri@pawb.social 1 points 2 months ago

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

[–] halvar@lemm.ee 40 points 2 months ago

Biblically accurate ring.

[–] bleistift2@sopuli.xyz 30 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Fuck girls. I want that ring!

[–] SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 months ago

I can get behind that

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 28 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Cheese. Am girl, want cheese. Ring is interesting but not practical.

What is this book of wisdom???

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The Complete Book of Magic and Witchcraft by Kathryn Paulsen, 1971

[–] Psionicsickness@reddthat.com 3 points 2 months ago

Just snagged a copy! Thanks!

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

[–] IntheTreetop@lemm.ee 11 points 2 months ago

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

[–] sparkle@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

What kind of cheese tho

[–] RoquetteQueen@sh.itjust.works 26 points 2 months ago

Actually, yeah, that would be really cool

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 21 points 2 months ago

Biblical accurate angel ring

[–] CryptoKitten@sh.itjust.works 19 points 2 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.

[–] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Can you find out and get back to me please.

[–] lobut@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)
[–] waz@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

I bet the quality of this is also astronomical.

[–] SolarMonkey 17 points 2 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.

[–] yuri@pawb.social 3 points 2 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!

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago

Gold chain, now it's a necklace!

[–] wh0_cares@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 2 months ago (3 children)

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

[–] IphtashuFitz@lemmy.world 6 points 2 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.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 3 points 2 months ago

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

[–] androogee@midwest.social 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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

[–] eskimofry@lemm.ee 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] ASDraptor@lemmy.autism.place 50 points 2 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.

[–] chemicalwonka@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 2 months ago

Don't be afraid

[–] Javi_in_4k@lemm.ee 8 points 2 months ago

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

[–] VintageTech@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 months ago

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

[–] KazuchijouNo@lemy.lol 7 points 2 months ago

Mine just wants a ring 🥴

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] BowtiesAreCool@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

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

[–] SuspiciousCatThing@pawb.social 6 points 2 months ago

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

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 5 points 2 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.

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago

thats just the wheel of power
