Actually Frodo was in his 30s when he received the Ring, he was in his 50s when he left the Shire...
Sorry to bother, I'll crawl back in my hill-dug home now

The real problem is when frodo is asking this question and it could be anywhere between ~30 and ~50... the age relationship between frodo and bilbo is incorrecr. it should be either 111 - 30 or 131 and 50

Edit: just remembered, frodo was 33 when he got the ring. On the books, some invetees to bilbos party where pissed off cause they felt like they were invited just to cover the 144 main guests (adding both bilbo's and frodo's age at the time)

Unless math works differently in Middle Earth, that is exactly what I meant

I appreciate you

Iā€™ve heardā€”from another (admittedly biased and inconsistent) source close to the matterā€”that OP is wicked, tricksy, and perhaps even false.

Nasty and filthy, even.

[-] Dusktracer@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago

You son of a Took, keep it!

Imagine the age gap relationship posts that we'd see in the LOTR universe.

In fact I hate when in Moria Gandalf says "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us"
You're literally 2K years old, fuck you dude

[-] Zorque@kbin.social 11 points 1 year ago

Quite a bit older, if you count more than his physical form.

took me a minute. Still waking up. The Bilbo Frodo age diff is 111-33, though so if this is Frodo at 50, Bilbo is older than 111 at the time of writing

Image Transcription:

White text on dark blue background reading: "My uncle (111 M) gifted me (50 M) a ring before leaving to go travelling. A close family friend (2,019 M) told me to destroy the ring due to problematic associations with the jeweller who made it, but the ring is precious to me and I would feel guilty throwing it away. AITA?"

Bilbo (111 M) gives the ring of power to Frodo (50 M) who is told by Gandalf (2019 M) it must be destroyed because Sauron (jeweler) is a douche

What's with the numbers, are they 2019 years old? 2019 miles/metres away? The numbers, what do they mean?!

[-] Gimly@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

It's their age and sex, Gandalf is indeed 2049 years old during the events of the Lords of the ring.

I feel dumb, how did I not notice?

[-] Signtist@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

It's alright, I thought it was net worth at first.

You think Gandalf ever had sex in those 2019 years? I mean, he probably has the equipment for the job and we know that wizards can enjoy the pleasures of mortals, such as smoking halfling weeds. He probably has at least made it to second base

[-] aman25ta@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

Gandalf has unmatched rizz

So probably yeah

[-] pH3ra@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Statistically speaking he must have.
How he couldn't? I mean not even an orc?

[-] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Mairon was cancelled after they found out he was in an accelerationist doomsday cult.

[-] Vikthor@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Frodo, don't wear the ring!
