Those dudes looking at the rings give me strong LOTR villain vibes.

Are we SURE that it's not the One Ring?

Yes. In contrast to the other Rings of Power, the One Ring bore no gems while the Lady Brook Medieval Diamond Ring has a diamond set in a bezel. Furthermore, the One Ring was famously destroyed in the fires of Mount Doom at the end of the Third Age.

How do we know we’re not in the second age?

According to Tolkien himself, we're in the Sixth or Seventh Age.

The lore answer is that there's no more unified force of evil, but Morgoth's last act was to infuse his essence in the earth, which is why sin and corruption still exist.

That sounds like something Sauron would say…

“Oh that’s totally not the one ring, let met throw that away for you…” sweating heavily

Thats what they want you to think. Wake up sheeple.

No way. Isildur was attacked and lost the ring hundreds of years ago. Its probably at the bottom of some river, hidden in the mud. Seems very unlikely some random guy would just find it

The article title literally states this ring was found in the mud. What are you not telling us?

It's a joke. In the Lord of the Rings this is what happens to the one ring and it does indeed get found in the river by a hobbit who would then turn into Gollum.

I can hear it calling to me, so probably.
