A comm for Lord Of The Rings Memes!

Rules:

  1. Follow the ToS of Piefed.social

  2. Don't be too rough with each other! We're here to appreciate, and sometimes lightly rib, Tolkien's fantastic creation, and all of its derivative works. Arguments happen, but remember, in the words of Tolkien, that food and cheer and good song are what make a merrier world!

  3. AI content will be removed at moderator discretion. We ultimately want to keep AI content in this comm to a minimum, so while unknowingly sharing an AI meme might not always merit a removal, things like AI videos and the like will generally be removed.

Tbf for an individual nuke, the contamination effect isn't quite as extreme as pop culture sometimes portrays it. There's a reason that, for example, Hiroshima was rebuilt and exists as a city today, rather than being left as a Chernobyl-esque radiological contamination zone where people avoid living to avoid exposure.
