mactheknife posted:it is extremely easy to just buy a plain-rear end wedding band Yeah, but for that, you might actually have to talk to a jeweler. Everyone knows talking to a jeweler about something that's not for your wife/girlfriend will turn you gay/into a woman. Finally, there's a man-branded option for men to buy manly rings.

Tungsten carbide rings actually have a real use other than oorah manliness It's intentionally a very brittle alloy that will crack and shatter instead of deforming, so if you work with heavy machinery or on an assembly line or something it helps avoid the risk of getting your ring caught in a machine and tearing your finger off (since the ring will just break off instead of pinching down).

Or you could just not wear the degloving risk item.

I had a tungsten ring when I was married because it was cheap and I liked the color It's a little embarrassing to be in the company of the Dude Wipes of jewelry though

I’ve got a coworker who wears a silicone wedding band for the same reason. I got married when the greatest risk to my hands was carpal tunnel so I’ve got a white gold band that I take off every day.

I figure having a safe alternative is probably better than going along and waiting for the one day you forget to take off the ring.

Yeah, sure, get tungsten and silicone baby rings. Instead from Manly Bands you can get The Frontiersman, a titanium band with camo inlay.

Captain Hygiene posted:I figure having a safe alternative is probably better than going along and waiting for the one day you forget to take off the ring. Other than silicone, I don’t think there is a “safe” ring when it comes to degloving risks. My understanding is that even if the ring will crack rather than bend, your finger will likely deglove well before the ring cracks.

I guess that means I’m a really manly woman? Also, what is with that “camo”? I swear it’s a photo of trees that’s been stretched. It doesn’t look like any camouflage I’ve ever seen.

I don't think the folk wisdom is that tungsten especially helps with degloving. Anything leaving your finger at a high speed is gonna get you there. It's more in crushing, something that cracks is suspected to be less likely to give compartment syndrome before they get the ring or finger off, or be a finger guillotine when cinched. Which no, glove doesn't help there. I don't know that any of that bears out medically anyway. You can Google some pretty nasty pictures of cinched rings but I don't know that something that cracks a tungsten ring is gonna leave your finger very well off.

I thought Manly Bands was the company that made wedding rings out of like M1 Garand stocks and whiskey barrels but apparently that’s ANOTHER fragile masculinity ring company.

They will happily tear that glove off (possibly breaking your wrist if they’re really sturdy) to get to the sweet sweet ring finger flesh underneath. The only gloves I wear around machine tools are nitrile.

Otherwise it's the kind of ring someone would give to me if a) women gave men surprise rings and b) anyone loved me. I like airplanes and space exploration and shiny things. It's wild because I don't know anyone who sees Man Products and doesn't immediately assume the user has a tiny penis.

Snake you have to min max your camo index, make sure even the interior of the ring has a camo pattern.

See, with camo on the inside your finger will never know it’s wearing a ring. It’s finger liberation, really, it can do as it pleases without feeling shackled and enslaved by marriage.

My first wedding ring was titanium (so was hers) because they looked cool as hell, were understated, and really affordable. My second wedding ring is hand hammered silver with a stone inset. It's all in what the symbol means to you personally. Please don't wear anything but silicone or nothing around machine tools or other places where degloving is a risk.

I wear my plain white gold ring on a braided leather cord when I'm in the field or working with machinery. I don't like leaving it anywhere, but I also don't want to wear it where it can get wrecked or wreck me.

christmas boots posted:There was a huge thing on Twitter earlier this year too where some funimation voice actors were also complaining about piracy and when someone was like “there’s no legal way to watch this show in my country” they just straight up said “then you don’t get to watch it” Oh yeah, that went over pretty legendarily badly, especially since anime would probably have never gotten as big as it did in the west without piracy.

With dubs generally now being as accurate and faithful as possible, I want a sub group to do the opposite, and brutally Americanize stories as much as possible. Fansubs that revive the 'Jelly Donuts' era of anime.
