Three guys wearing a red shirt

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 47 minutes ago

three clones of tom scott, who say "we are standing in an elevator going to the 5th floor" in perfect unison as you enter

[-] Jumi@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

My two older brothers and my dad

[-] hedhoncho@lemm.ee 1 points 2 hours ago

Figures that the safest men to be stuck with aren't human men.

He's 87 years old at the start of LOTR.
He descends from Elros the Half-Elf.

[-] eyes@lemmy.world 6 points 3 hours ago

He's got Elven heritage. He's the 64th descendant of Elros, brother of Elrond. I think he's also decendend from a Maiar as Elros and Elrond's great great grandmother was Melian.

Not if yer a fucken orc!

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 26 points 12 hours ago

I tried to come up with a counter argument and realized pretty quickly that I didn’t want to.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 6 points 10 hours ago

I mean, they're objectively correct.

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 17 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

I'd choose: Boromir, Ned Stark, and Sean Bean.

No way anything bad can happen to me with those magnets around.

[-] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 hours ago

I dunno. Might take Sharpe instead of Ned Stark, good to have someone that knows how to use a rifle

[-] Baylahoo@sh.itjust.works 14 points 10 hours ago

The whole elevator would just crash through the foundation. You'd be collateral when Death gets a 3 for 1 final destination style.

[-] samus12345@lemm.ee 24 points 13 hours ago

The fact that they had to go to fictional characters is significant.

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 39 minutes ago

it really isn't, people comfortably stand in elevators with men all the time lol

[-] morrowind@lemmy.ml 30 points 12 hours ago

We're in the LOTR community, the sample may be a little biased

[-] samus12345@lemm.ee 7 points 12 hours ago

Yes, but the person who responded to the question wasn't in a LOTR community.

[-] morrowind@lemmy.ml 9 points 12 hours ago

All the other people who answered weren't posted here

[-] samus12345@lemm.ee 3 points 11 hours ago

I know, I'm just referring to this particular person's response.

[-] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 8 points 13 hours ago

Good point!

Okay, real world examples from me (notably, a big dude, so y'know, probably not as in tune to things as I could be):

Bernie Sanders My brother My Uncle

... I... Really thought I'd have better options until I really started thinking about it

[-] Shou@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

Yeah. Same issue here. So how about:

Bob Ross. Carl Sagan. Steve Irwin.

[-] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 1 points 4 hours ago

I'd swap Steve for Bernie.

Not because I think Steve would hurt anyone directly. But at any moment he may be like "would you like to see this deadly spider I've got in m'pocket?" And then pull out a spider that even spider scientists didn't know existed or some shit. He would never let the spider hurt you, but you'd have a heart attack anyway.

[-] tetrachromacy@lemmy.world 11 points 12 hours ago

Somewhat related: that's a dream blunt rotation right there

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 9 points 10 hours ago

I feel like Gimli would hog it, Aragorn would obviously be awesome, and Legolas would be chill but you could tell he's thinking your weed sucks, he's got a much better connection.

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 44 minutes ago

i like to imagine that weed is the opposite of beer when it comes to elves and dwarves, elves barely even notice while dwarves start giggling when standing next to someone puffing a blunt

[-] tetrachromacy@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago

Gimli, it's a blunt, not a microphone

[-] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 96 points 18 hours ago

Everywhere they went people were getting kidnapped, orcs were invading, trees were coming to life, and the dead were rising. Id want to be far away from that elevator.

[-] LandedGentry@lemmy.zip 43 points 17 hours ago

Yeah that’s as safe as being a marine hanging with the master chief.

[-] SARGE@startrek.website 21 points 16 hours ago

You take that back, I protect my marines while playing!

You know.... As much as possible while charging headfirst into the most powerful empire the galaxy has seen in 100,000 years hell bent on destroying humanity and all we represent...

You know for a fact that they'll literally coming charging across the countryside to rescue you though

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 13 hours ago

Not much countryside for the charging in most elevators, though 🤔

So ackshually...

Aragorn was descended from Elros who was a half-elf, but that was so long ago he may or may not be a full man depending on how racist one is about miscegenation.

Legolas was an elf and Gimli was a dwarf, so explicitly not Men.

How about Eomer and Faramir instead?

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago

Boromir would've made them feel safer.

[-] billiam0202@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago

Faramir didn't try to take the Ring from Frodo, unlike Boromir.

[-] VubDapple@real.lemmy.fan 7 points 9 hours ago

Elros and Elrond had a choice as to become Eldar or Edain. Elrond chose Eldar, while Elros chose Edain. Once they chose their mixed nature was resolved.

[-] billiam0202@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

Not exactly, since the Númenóreans still had longer lives than Men due to their elven heritage. So while one could absolutely make the argument they were Men, there's also a case to be made saying they weren't pureblooded Men.

[-] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 28 points 16 hours ago

Men as in males, yes.

Men as in humans, mostly no

[-] impudentmortal@lemmy.world 28 points 16 hours ago

Let's be real. We're all NPCs so if any of the men are from something with action, we'll probably end up dead. My pick would be Bob Ross, Mr. Rogers, and Steve Irwin. Super calming and chill

[-] Jumpingspiderman@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago

Christopher Reeves, Stephen Hawking, Teddy Pendergrass

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

Mr Rogers, Bob Ross, Steve Irwin

[-] juliebean@lemm.ee 7 points 10 hours ago

i mean, i guess i'd feel safe, but probably not super comfortable, given that they are all three very dead.

[-] phar@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 hours ago

If they're dead and in the elevator, are they still in wheelchairs?

[-] WolfLink@sh.itjust.works 6 points 11 hours ago

Idk about Stephen Hawking
