No he wasn't he was in his late teens early twenties

Someone explained in another thread. He was 10.
harleyran94
yeah well they are wrong, as the hobbit is set 60 years before the trilogy, and with Aragorn being in his 80s in the trilogy.
Nessimon
Yeah, but it took like 17 years for Frodo to reach Rivendell or something.
paddythelion
Sorry, but you're wrong. Aragorn was born in TA March 2931, Bilbo offered Gandalf a good morning in TA April 2941. Almost exactly 10.

I'm no scientist, but wouldn't a rogue planet not have a consistent source of heat, thus it not being able to consistently sustain anything?
Mikebroski
That had exactly 140 characters, and I didn't even try.... woah
Mitchz95
If it had enough heat trapped inside, and an atmosphere thick enough to keep it from dissipating into space, life there may be possible.
Sageypie
Pretty much this. The folks at Vsauce did a nice video on what would happen to earth with no sun https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rltpH6ck2Kc
Sageypie
Basically a rogue planet could just sort of become this sort of organic spaceship just sailing through the stars until it finds a new sun.
DrSparken
If the planet is enough heat on its own, a sun is a very bad idea, it'd burn all life. It'd have to grow alone and stay alone.
fourkingbaker
It would have to be 100% efficient and that is impossible, eventually the heat would be gone.
Frazzledragon
You have to consider the lifetime of planetary core heat. Earth is growing a beard and is stilll a hottie on the inside.
DrSparken
Yep, however, when it approached our sun it'd get crazy hot from the extra, so no rogue visitors.
berrrypickerasfuck
It's also very unlikely. With no heat source or light source it probably wouldn't have an atmosphere. So probably no life either.
sirplayerone
Surface life would quickly freeze to death, but our atmosphere is large enough that it would take a couple decades for it to disperse.

Skwiddy
You know he modelled dwarves after Jews right?
Segovax
I call bull on that. He said himself he didn't like allegories. But interpreting Tolkien is an immense study.
Skwiddy
"I do think of the Dwarves like Jews: at once native and alien in their habitations" In a letter he wrote. Sorry mate.
Segovax
That would be simile not metaphor. He didn't say he modeled them directly off Jews.
DrunkInRlyeh
He also said "I do think of the 'Dwarves' like Jews," in a letter. And their language is a Semitic analog with Hebrew phonology.
Segovax
But their language is written with runes, like old Norse.

Being an ME I can see the logic behind it. Back in the day you counted things with 0's so 1 (x) 10 (maybe) 100 (✓)

Maybe they were using a binary representation for their suggestion. 100 in binary is 4, which is more reasonable for an emergency need.
GentlemanScholar

Caffeine overdose....."Wake up" overdose!

That would be a rather un-rockstar-ish OD.
Rhase
People forget that caffeine is a drug and can kill you. No matter how healthy you are, too much and you can send your heart fatally racing.
Rhase
I'm not even talking like "too much of anything can kill you, duh". It's not exceptionally hard to OD.
Gaboom
With pure caffeine I agree, but with coffee, it's rather impossible to OD. The elimination of the caffeine is quicker than the absorption.
Rhase
100mg per cup, you can't really OD on cofee, but it DOES reach a point of "put the mug down, dear. You've had enough" xD

That sentence makes no sense. You can't absorb caffeine faster than you eliminate it, but you can overdose on pure caffeine? Bruh.

Valiantlight
Everyone- Yes Aragorn was alive, he was 10 years old during the Hobbit, No no one called him "strider" then...
watermelonsz
he would've been 27 and Strider by then, as he left Rivendell when he was 20
Valiantlight
he was born in year 2931 of the third age, and the hobbit is in year 2941. he was ten, i promise
watermelonsz
fuck you're right, I don't know how, but you are
Valiantlight
he was actually 87 at the council of Elrond, and everyone always forgets that 17 years take place between bilbos birthday and then
Banana51292
Aragon was 80+ in LOTR. While he wasn't in The Hobbit, he could have been active in that time period.
BrokeMyFunnyBone
If I remember correctly, he was still in Rivendell at the time and not really doing much of anything important enough to be included.
SingleNiceFedoraWearingClassyGuycautiondonotfriendzone
Yes, but Viggo does not look like a ~20 year old. His age difference (unlike Legolas) would have been noticeable and jarring.
slapmyassandcallmesusan
Actually during the events of The Hobbit, Aragorn would be like 10 ish.
SingleNiceFedoraWearingClassyGuycautiondonotfriendzone
Yes, but in the movie, Thranduil refers to him as a ranger named Strider, implying that he is a fully-grown adult. So movie Aragorn is older
thestarbird
Question and spoiler: If they're 60 years apart, why did Thranduil tell Legolas of "Strider" at the end of the 3rd Hobbit?
elbart
Because Peter Hackson.
andrestromqvist
Read the book and you'll see that the movies are a total fuck-up. :/
Galdornae
Because *Peter Jackson*
TimeWoundsAllHeels
And 60 years later Legolas still hadn't met him, get your shit together Legolas

Because Peter Jackson doesn't give a flying fuck about the Hobbit movies.
Cthulhukitten
You speak truth yet you get downvoted. *sniff* Smell like fanboys.

I get that a lot.
Banana51292
Aragon spent time growing up in Rivendale. Elrond helped protect and preserve the Northern line of kings.
76Tromboners
Peter Jackson was high on his own shit.
Galdornae
He's George Lucasing
76Tromboners
Also, they were trying to connect to LOTR films to The Hobbit. Legolas meets Aragorn at Rivendell when the Fellowship it formed.
Banana51292
When Boromir is dismissive of Strider at the council, Legolas is the one who angrily declares who Aragorn truly is.
76Tromboners
Tru dat mah nigga. I forgot about that.
Banana51292
The way he does it implies he knew of him before.
Valiantlight
legolas knows of him, because Aragorn had recently captured golem and left him imprisoned in mirkwood (where legolas lives)
SirPelvisJohnwood
"golem"? really?
nyaore
Aragorn was alive then, he's around 80 years old in the Trilogy, and I -think- he had left Rivendell by then as well.
nyaore
Scratch that, he left ten years later: http://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Aragorn
nyaore
"During his life in Rivendell he accompanied the sons of Elrond, Elrohir and Elladan, on their journeys." Aragorn's true name (1/)
nyaore
was revealed in T.A. 2951, The Hobbit ends in T.A. 2941. He leaves for good then, but it's not impossible to think he didn't (2/)
nyaore
journey farther with his foster brothers, the sons of Elrond, before then. <- Expanding my last post as I missed this part. (3/3)
AlwaysEatingAlmonds
Because during LOTR, Aragorn is 86 years old. As one of the Dunedain, he has an extra long life.
TruncateTheWorld
"Eighty-seven..."
thestarbird
Thank you, it makes sense now!
Celebrimbor
He lived to be 210 years old
Ulmo
But The Hobbit takes place 77 years before the fellowship sets out, making him 9. Aragon grew up in Rivendell under the name one Estel (1/2)
Ulmo
*of
Ulmo
Until he became of age and learnt his true identity when he was given the shards of Narsil. (2/2)
thestarbird
So it was just Peter Jackson doing a tie-in and sacrificing the integrity of the books...shame.
IHaveTenderLoins
Exactly, so...he could have been in the hobbit. As a teenager, maybe, but he could have been in it.
rekcilthis1
Viggo Mortenson couldn't, he doesn't look anything like a teenager and hasn't for years. Probably not since he was a teenager.
BrokeMyFunnyBone
If I remember correctly, he was still in Rivendell at the time and not really doing much of anything important enough to be included.
AlwaysEatingAlmonds
He would have been in his 20's, but ya it would have been plausible enough. I'm glad he wasn't though.
Cal74
According to Lotr Wiki, he would have been 10...
IHaveTenderLoins
well, he would have been ~27, but with double the life span, he would have appeared ~13/14 ish.

Nonstop/no gap birth control pill = no period.... Take 9 pill packs to space, 9 month supply.

SCIENCE!
NotAnInformantForTheNSA
Thank you for preventing me from telling this story to other people. I was going to use it to show how clueless male engineers are.
IKilledKennyAndIAmABastard
Well that makes it seem reasonable instead of silly.
spacecatts
Who uses 5 tampons a day!?!!
likeallthethings
A lot of people do. Depends on how light/heavy your flow is. And assuming a day = 24 hours you're suppose to change every 4-6 hours ..
ahcnp2
Also that seems like the specific kind of bodily function that gravity would make a serious difference.
GnomeDeGuerre
This is sausage to me.
siler7
I'm a guy, and even I know you do NOT want to run out of tampons in space. Fuck, take 300, they hardly weigh anything
TheGirafe
Umm, bur the rest of the crew Is probably all male. I'm sure they would enjoy floating blobs of pussy. No need for those tampons.
FunkyCake
Your place is 9gag. Emphasis on gag. ;)
siler7
Turn off the computer and go to bed.
CormacLynch
I'm trying to stop laughing at the thought of it falling out... It'd be like an exploded ketchup bottle. Imagine after sneezing... Hahaha
lesbianseagulls
But could you imagine having your period in space? Like fuucckkk
TheGirafe
Well for guys, who wouldn't want to slurp a floating blob of pussy? That would be great!
MatrimBloodyCauthon
Plus, I imagine they want to be better safe than sorry. You don't want that 0 gravity messing up the shuttle.
DimzD
Nasa is crap.
lespie98
Why has no one said anything about the fact that it should equal 105?
Mariondoe
*Actually does the math* It does, how did I overlook this!
zacarroll
I'm sad at how far down I had to scroll to find this...
skellious
maybe they come in packs of 25?
poopcityremix
5 a day is normal?!?!
SomeDetroitGuy
You're supposed to change them every 4-6 hours and not keep them in for more than 8.
SomeDetroitGuy
Oh, and I see you're browsing on "Random". Hi there!
BluebellsandGooseberries
As a dude who hasn't a fucking foggiest about tampon usage, 5 a day? What is this fruit?
Anniethepanda
That sounds so British.
pixelsnader
WARNING: TAMPONS ARE NOT FRUIT. DO NOT EAT. INTENDED USAGE: SOAK FOR TEA.
damelamusica
Look up Toxic Shock Syndrome and you'll see what can happen if they don't change them frequently enough.
rebeccaisafish
Toxic shock has more to do with the quality of the tampon than the length of time you leave it in.
SomebodyStoleMyCarRadio
Whether or not it's "full," you should change it every 8 hours. It's not sanitary to leave the same one in all day... Ew.
flight815down
It's also dangerous
WeAreAllStoriesInTheEnd
As a girl, you're supposed to change your tampon every 8 hours. If you have a couple days that are heavy, easily five+ a day
motittiesmoproblems
4-6 hours*
WeAreAllStoriesInTheEnd
I should have said 'at least every 8 hours' but didn't have room. 4-6 is more acceptable, but 6-8 hours is what's on my brand of tampons.
motittiesmoproblems
Makes sense
TrustmeIamdutch
The guideline for tampons is changing them every 2/3 hours..
[deleted]
[deleted]
JamEngulfer
Stop double dipping with gifs dammit!
rebeccaisafish
Where did you get that guideline from?? That's much more often than necessary, unless they are full of course!
CanadianEngineer
You could still survive without a tampon. That wouldn't qualify as a supply required for life.
possiblesociopath
the way ppl act these days a day w/ out tampons/toilet paper/shower/other modern conviences is deadly.. zombie apocolypse will be rough
CanadianEngineer
It's really upsetting getting downvoted for this, I understand that it's not an obvious idea but I mean, it makes logical sense..
MaverickEsq
I dunno, blood in the instruments sounds like it ends in loss of life if you ask me.
CanadianEngineer
Space suits are already developed to remove waste.
MaverickEsq
They only wear space suits on the outside, man. They wear these fruity little jumpsuits normally, they also get changed and stuff.
CanadianEngineer
So wear the space suit indoors and problem solved.. It's only 7 days
RedroverRedrover
You could survive without a toilet too. They shouldn't waste all the space of having one up there, right?
blahblah1994
Yeah but it'd be fucking messy in space
CanadianEngineer
Messy is survivable
JamEngulfer
Stop being dumb. Sure you could say it's survivable, but that's an unreasonable statement to make
CostcoPizza
I'm lost. Why is that unreasonable?
SteveMcSleeve
So just because not wearing a tampon wouldn't kill her, she deserves to have blood floating all over the place?
CanadianEngineer
Tell me where I said "don't pack any tampons" I'm just saying you don't need extras in case of emergency
JamEngulfer
That's silly. Why wouldn't you want extras for emergency?
CostcoPizza
As a female, I support you in this. While not technically necessary for life, it simply makes everything cleaner.
CostcoPizza
It's like not bringing kleenexes to wipe up your snot. It'd be messy, sure. But I wouldn't die if I didn't have a tissue.
CanadianEngineer
Thank you for seeing my rationale! I feel like I should make this an unpopular opinion puffin!
HelpfulCorn
I'm sitting here trying to figure out whether a diva cup would work in zero gravity or not.
Epicfailgaisensei
Today, I learned what a diva cup is. Always teaching me, imgur is.
ImgurnariumOfDoctorGiraffus
Next lesson, the SheWee.
DiarrheaTouchdown
Right? I think it would be fine... Internally. Buy emptying it could be problematic!
LisaMegatron
Would your period be normal in space? Or would the blood just be floating around in your uterus?
BunniesAndRedPandas
perhaps it's necessary to use a tampon as a sponge in space since most of the period works with gravity (like how laying down stops flow)
HelpfulCorn
It's the contractions more than gravity, so the blood would exit the uterus, but after that I'm less clear
Peppermintpatty
Thinking of blood just floating around in my uterus grosses me out more than it should
ImgurnariumOfDoctorGiraffus
You're like a lava lamp!
quantumpacket
yes
BrazilianThunderPanda
If you need 5 tampons in 1 day, consistently, you need to see a doctor.
BrazilianThunderPanda
As a woman... goddamn you other ladies bleed A LOT.
flight815down
"It's not my fault that I have a heavy flow and a wide set vagina"
YourgirlJim
Soooo, you're a man, right?
BrazilianThunderPanda
Nope lady type. I still have the uterus my mom gave me.
Natalan
I'm physically healthy, but I have always bled like a stuck pig while on my period. I laugh at the thought of only needing 5 a day.
PrincessMerida
Yeah, I change mine every two hours unless I'm at the end. But I sleep with a tampon sooo.
Nyxana
Actually, no. Assuming that 1 day is 24 hours, 5 is a reasonable number, especially with the risk of TSS
UndercoverDumbledore
My mum knew someone who died of TSS so I stick to the lower end of the time limit nowadays!
lookinggood
when thats a hell of a bold assumption

The package of tampons I have says 8-10 hours. (Just making a note so someone doesn't freak out)

randomplaceholder
5 a day? If they are all meant for her own use, and not totaled up with emergency first aid... do women really use that many a day?
ch3burashka
Shit be cray in space.
ImgurnariumOfDoctorGiraffus
Have you ever seen a woman sneeze in Space? lets not find out.
rebeccaisafish
5 a day while on their period, then yes, absolutely. If you average it out with the non bleeding days then no, the number is much smaller
SuperNintendoEntertainmentSystem
I'm with NASA on this one. Really, it's better to have way too many tampons, than to run out imo.
eggmuffin
Even if the answer is no, you can never have too many tampons. It would be like having too much duct tape. Simply impossible.
lostnortherner
Not me, I would be lucky if I filled up one in a day. You're welcome for that mental image btw
ImgurnariumOfDoctorGiraffus
In the car business they would call that a fuel efficient vagina and rate you best in class for your mileage per gallon, so you've got that.
itsimijurnotimgurr
It is different for every woman, depending on how heavy your flow is. I'm sure they were just estimating on the higher end to be safe.
odraencoded
And then tripling it to be safer
PajamaStripes
As a woman: yes. and it's awful.
ImgurnariumOfDoctorGiraffus
Come on, lets get you some chocolate and an electric blanket D:
YourgirlJim
Sure...IF you're on your period otherwise no. And there's only 1 week in a month that's happening.
LisaMegatron
Or replace it when you accidentally piss all over the string. http://www.reactiongifs.com/r/yux.gif
likeallthethings
Omg Ahahaha this
SomebodyStoleMyCarRadio
My life. This.
SteveMcSleeve
I've learned that you have to change every 3-4 hours except for when you're sleeping
jules333
its every 6-8
RoxannaAaryn
I always do mine 4-5 depending on the day. Only time I do longer is at night. Everybody's different yo.
jules333
i use birth control so my periods are light, it depends on the flow, everyone is different though
itsbre
You shouldn't wear them while sleeping though.
rebeccaisafish
If you aren't buying cheapo tampons then its absolutely fine.
SomebodyStoleMyCarRadio
I personally don't like to, but it's fine. Just change it right before bed and right when you wake up
Twenty3Skidoo
If I can get away with 1 Super all day, I do.
BigDaddysMeatWagon
Do you want TTS? Because that's how you get TTS
kansas555
That's asking for TSS.
Twenty3Skidoo
TSS is rare and caused by Staph or Strep. As long as you keep the tampon clean before insertion, it's really not an issue.
HobbitHouse
Can't leave them in for more than 8 hours, so that's at least 3 a day. On heavy dats you sometimes have to replace every two hors.
Lannebrink
Yes you can leave them in for a lot longer, it's just not recommended for safety reasons.
HobbitHouse
Ideally, not all dats are heavy.
WarPatron
NASA doesn't prepare for ideal situations.
HobbitHouse
yes, Gravity taught me I do NOT want to go to space.
rachiechilipepper
Every two hours? Damn lucky if you ask me.
YouCantKeepJetpackingAwayFromYourProblemsBrian
Or you're running around and don't think you'll have another chance at a restroom for a while, so change it while you're there. XD
randomplaceholder
Ah, I see. Thanks for the reply. TIL!
Iloveanonymityandilovebeingnoticed
WTF? I only use one per cycle.(And that's only in for 8 hours.) I only have one 'heavy' day,and only change pads for hygeine, not necessity.
amaya141291
I only use tampons, not pads. I can smell it if I use pads. So I change them more often. Plus, many women have heavier cycles.
HobbitHouse
lucky you. hopefully it stays that way. my cycle has changed a lot over time.
screamingwinemaker
Fuck. Who knew I'd learn this today?
Feenfurn
*not supposed to leave them in for more than 8 hours...
kazmosis
I'll bet more people learned something from your comment than they did the entire day
TheGirafe
Yes
UH60Mechanic
Yep. Days 1-3, every 2-3 hours. Days 4-6/7/8, 2-3 a day.
FunkyCake
So i guess i skip day 1-3 and only have day 4-7. Yay me :)
Equinox13
I think I get your 1-3 added onto mine and end up with 10....
UH60Mechanic
That's awesome dude. When that happens to me I just get really suspicious. Like, okay... when I least expect it, bloodsplosion...
Imjurk
TIL I have a very light flow
Iloveanonymityandilovebeingnoticed
Me, too. If it weren't disgusting, I could wear one pad the entire time. I do change twice a day, though.
HotMagentaDuckFace
Lucky you. Some of us could pass for a crime scene.
bustyblonde
good for you
JamEngulfer
I guess you're one of the lucky ones then
lostconfusedandeasilydistractedheylookapenny

HoodedRagamuffin
If you take the contraceptive pill and skip the placebos you wouldn't even get your period.. Seems
HoodedRagamuffin
More efficient
mrseffingrochester
Doesn't always work. Sometimes your body is just "FUCK YOU I'M GONNA BLEED ANYWAY"
FunkyCake
Placebos? In contraceptive pill? Lol. (Funny how things work differently everwhere) we have 21 and just dont take em for a week
FunkyCake
So yes my thought was also. Why dont u just skip the pill-free week and go straight to next strip of pills. No period at all ;)
rebeccaisafish
We get sugar pills in the off week. That way you don't get out of the habit I guess.
FunkyCake
Also, might not even be her week that week.
BellatrixSnape
Wait. We don't use them all the time?
amaya141291
I use them all the time. I have a heavy discharge as well as a shit period. So I need them pretty much always D=
NotSoMuch
If, however, you were making a joke, I thought it was pretty good.
BellatrixSnape
Thank you! I thought I wasn't clear enough!
JamEngulfer
If you're constantly bleeding, you should get that seen to. If you're using them all month for no reason, stop. It's a waste
BellatrixSnape
What? bleeding? I use them to filter my water.
