      The real question is whether meat has be completely passing through the ring hole.

      If that’s the case, sticking it in his butt would probably work too since a lot of your intestines are innards are squeezed together enough to essentially be flat. If it’s being pushed along on it’s side with peristalsis and any of of your bowels touches through the ring hole… you turn invisible for a minute.

      Just imagine how strange it’d be seeing a halfing pop in and out of existence running at you with a blue sword that can tell him that you’re nearby…

    No I’m more interested what happens if you use the one ring as cockring? And to what size will it adjust?

    Frodo’s necklace isn’t invisible; therefore, we can assume that it does not work unless worn on a body part specifically, as he is wearing it while it is on the necklace but he is not invisible.

    The real question is what body parts would work. Fingers obviously do, but would toes? Cockring? Nose piercing? Could you say that the ring being in his butt counts as wearing it? If someone can go outside wearing nothing but a buttplug, then there is some president.

    Can only buttplugs be worn, or can anything be worn in the butt? Is a ring a buttplug? Cash or credit?

      President is the person who runs the organization or country. Precedent is the thing where an action is preceded by a similar recognized action.

      But I really like the idea that someone goes out on a brisk day with their asshole whistling in the breeze because it’s held open with a ring. Then, out of nowhere, the leader of the country gets mixed up in the whole mess.

      I’m probably bad at explaining it, but the ring doesn’t make everyone invisible, just hobbits. The ring wants to be worn so that it can exert the most control over the wearer in an attempt to return to sauron, it tempts people to wear it by giving them a taste of what they desire the most and hobbits simply want to be left alone and not seen or bothered, which is why they just turn invisible. This is also why hobbits are the idea race to carry and protect the ring as they dont crave power so it is harder for the ring to corrupt them.

        Isn’t there a scene where either Aragon or Boromir wears the ring and turns invisible? Or am I making this up?

          You are making it up. Boromir tries to take it from Frodo and Frodo puts it on during the altercation.

          That was the movies though, can’t remember if that was the books as well.

            Actually no he isn’t, in the movie Isildur wears it and turns invisible! The argument now resides in determining if the movies are canon or not.

    I don’t know the lore, but what initially happens with the ring? Anything that passes through it vanishes?

      No. It’s not a magic invisibility field inside. It’s a magic object that works only on living “intelligent” creatures. It also doesn’t work the same on different races. Only humans (hobbits are a subtype of human in Tolkiens lore) turn invisible. And because it’s magic it also turns their clothing etc invisible. So either Frodo and his poop is invisible or nothing is.

    It adjusted it’s size yeah? And it sought power. So if someone powerful and large were near would Frodo be in for quite the surprise?

    Probably none of that, since a ring is made for a finger. It probably magically detects if it has made contact with one. Now, if the question was what if it was put on a severed finger, then that is something to think about

      I mean we see that with Sauron and Frodo in the films. It would appear that having the ring on your finger when severed does fuck all to help you out.

      So if someone was fingerblasting Frodo with the ring on, and then someone cut their finger off mid fingerblast, you’re saying that only the finger would turn invisible, and not Frodo? Even if it’s in his butt?
