Physically safe - but you’re gonna get sassed to within an inch of your life.

Can we do 2 adult men and a bear?
At the same time?
Harry Houdini, Angus MacGyver, and James Randi
I think all of them are dead, I’m not sure I will be safe with a bunch of dead people in the elevator
LOTR spoiler
Aragorn is dead too!
Hate to be contrary but I’d think you couldn’t be safer if they were all dead
Richard Dean Anderson/MacGyver/General O’Neil is alive.
Don’t scare me like that!
His first name is Angus?
Honestly if I was a woman any dude in life. Maybe even those goth dudes on black horses. Def the trees tho. They Hott af
Three guys wearing a red shirt
three clones of tom scott, who say “we are standing in an elevator going to the 5th floor” in perfect unison as you enter
Sourced from the island of Tom Scotts.
My two older brothers and my dad
Figures that the safest men to be stuck with aren’t human men.
Aragorn?
He’s 87 years old at the start of LOTR.
He descends from Elros the Half-Elf.Yeah, but that just makes him a much-better-than-average human.
He’s got Elven heritage. He’s the 64th descendant of Elros, brother of Elrond. I think he’s also decendend from a Maiar as Elros and Elrond’s great great grandmother was Melian.
Not if yer a fucken orc!
I don’t know; can you name three bears that women would feel safer with?
bear in the big blue house is one, for sure. he wouldn’t even need violence to stave off nasty people, he’d just make them feel bad.
Barenstain?
Christopher Reeves, Stephen Hawking, Teddy Pendergrass
Mr Rogers, Bob Ross, Steve Irwin
i mean, i guess i’d feel safe, but probably not super comfortable, given that they are all three very dead.
If they’re dead and in the elevator, are they still in wheelchairs?
Idk about Stephen Hawking
I tried to come up with a counter argument and realized pretty quickly that I didn’t want to.
What’s the counter-argument ? Let’s hear it
I mean, they’re objectively correct.
Somewhat related: that’s a dream blunt rotation right there
I feel like Gimli would hog it, Aragorn would obviously be awesome, and Legolas would be chill but you could tell he’s thinking your weed sucks, he’s got a much better connection.
i like to imagine that weed is the opposite of beer when it comes to elves and dwarves, elves barely even notice while dwarves start giggling when standing next to someone puffing a blunt
Gimli, it’s a blunt, not a microphone
I’d choose: Boromir, Ned Stark, and Sean Bean.
No way anything bad can happen to me with those magnets around.
I dunno. Might take Sharpe instead of Ned Stark, good to have someone that knows how to use a rifle
The whole elevator would just crash through the foundation. You’d be collateral when Death gets a 3 for 1 final destination style.
Nah, I think it’d go more like this:
- Get it in the elevator and see them all in there.
- Go to press the button for your floor (the top floor) and see that it’s already pressed.
- Have a pleasant trip up.
- Arrive at your floor and the doors open.
- All three politely allow you to exit first.
- Step out of the lift safely.
- Elevator malfunctions, plummets and crashes through the foundation.
- Walk off thinking how nice they all were.
The fact that they had to go to fictional characters is significant.
The people you know well enough to trust them are close to you but unknown to others, so other people wouldn’t really appreciate your unswer if it was just some common unknown people. You mostly cannot bet on the character of celebrities, because you don’t know them personally (see Gaiman). Fictional characters are known by many people and their personalities are nicely described in the books, movies, whatever…
To be fair, being fictional means they’re significantly less dimensional than real people and are incapable of holding secrets.
I mean there are real people I feel absolutely safe around, but they’re just normal people I know and have built trust with. There are no famous people I can say the same for because I don’t know them personally, even if they seem good on the surface. And for fictional characters like these, we “know” Aragorn is safe because he’s written to be benevolent, we’ve read his entire life, and the author’s dead so there’s no possibility for new material to change that perception.
LotR should have started becoming public domain in America in 2023 btw
We’re in the LOTR community, the sample may be a little biased
Yes, but the person who responded to the question wasn’t in a LOTR community.
All the other people who answered weren’t posted here
I know, I’m just referring to this particular person’s response.
Good point!
Okay, real world examples from me (notably, a big dude, so y’know, probably not as in tune to things as I could be):
Bernie Sanders My brother My Uncle
… I… Really thought I’d have better options until I really started thinking about it
Yeah. Same issue here. So how about:
Bob Ross. Carl Sagan. Steve Irwin.
I’d swap Steve for Bernie.
Not because I think Steve would hurt anyone directly. But at any moment he may be like “would you like to see this deadly spider I’ve got in m’pocket?” And then pull out a spider that even spider scientists didn’t know existed or some shit. He would never let the spider hurt you, but you’d have a heart attack anyway.
also that 2 of them aren’t men
I would take “men” to just mean “male people,” since it’s not being asked in the context of a fantasy world.
