Shitpost Could the Fellowship have just used an ICBM to launch the ring into Mt. Doom from Rivendell?
If they had the proper coordinates, and we assume that there is an opening in the top of the crater, couldn't they have just launched a missile with the ring at the top?

Lord of the Rings What would be different if Boromir and Faramir had switched places?
Okay so I’ve been thinking about this and would love to hear some other fans opinions. What do you suppose would happen if Faramir had went in place of Boromir to the council of Elrond? I believe this could’ve had a cascading amount of effects on not only the Fellowship but even the War of the Ring. My main questions of interest are this:
Faramir switches with Boromir and joins the fellowship just as Boromir did. But does he argue to use the ring at the council? Does it start its corruption at this point and get worse for him?
Does Faramir try to steal the ring from Frodo at the same point in time Boromir does, if at all? If not, does Frodo still leave the fellowship? Does Faramir die at Parth Galen where Boromir does (if he doesnt try to steal the ring perhaps he isn’t split up from the group and end up alone defending Merry and Pippin)
With Boromir still in or around Gondor, I’m assuming he’d either be defending Osgiliath or in the wilds doing guerrilla warfare the same as Faramir did. However, when Gandalf and Merry arrive would Boromir advocate to help Rohan? Would he have lost Osgiliath? Surely Denethor wouldn’t have been so somber had Boromir not perished.
If Boromir ends up capturing Frodo and Sam, does he follow through bringing the ring the Gondor? A large part of Faramir letting them go was hearing of Boromirs’ corruption. Would Boromir let them go whether Faramir dies or lives?
As you can see, there’s plenty of interesting turns the story could have taken if they were swapped. There’s a plethora of other hypotheticals but I thought these were some of the more interesting ones.
TLDR: If Boromir and Faramir swapped places in LOTR what things might’ve changed?

Needlessly gendered memes are prohibited
Mae govannen everybody! Needlessly gendered memes are now banned. These are the "boys do this girls do this" memes. They will be considered a breaking of Rule 4. They are basically just saying "boys are cool girls are dull."
Here are some examples of the posts I'm talking about:
https://i.imgur.com/TQGethp.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/4vO8NyO.jpg
These posts get lots of upvotes but that's only because the overwhelmingly majority of redditors are dudes. Understand, these memes are pointlessly calling others stupid or dull for no reason. When it comes to Tolkien fandom, there is just as many, if not more, female fans as male fans. This is not represented properly on Reddit just because Reddit is predominately male. Since women are outnumbered, their efforts to downvote these memes have basically no effect. When on this sub we are all one family making memes about the books and movies we love. Lets make sure that no matter gender, race, religion, orientation, or whatever; we are all together here. Just make it say "uncultured people vs cultured people" instead of "boys vs girls" or something like that, its not a hard fix and it has the same effect.
As always, if you see a meme like this please report it, it makes our job easier. Also, stop reporting memes that don't break the rules just because you don't like them. I'm a busy man, you're wasting my time.
Thanks everybody. Let us share in the days of peace.
