    This would kind of make sense if Isildur had taken the ring and tried to disassemble it and learn how its various magic effects worked, in order to extend life without the downsides.

    The amount of things we’ve learned from the field of virology is fucking nuts.

            The name, the instance, and the commenting behavior all sort of add up to something odd. Then you take the specifics of each comment and how they just seem… bland and vague enough they could have been in reply to anything.

            Just, for instance, look at the two comments made in this post.

              Their comments never contribute anything to the posts, either. Very weird, most bots I see these days are a lot more convincing than this. Curious what’s going on here. Maybe it’s just performance art.

                The author(s) may just be learning what the reactions are to the comments. Here for instance, the comment elicited downvotes. This may be used to teach a model to avoid the style of the comment
