NGL that ring looks like it’s straight up made from MS Paint circa 1995
It’s obviously been painted over and the word “Copper” in the text is replacing some other word that was there before. But I have no idea what it was before.
Eee, I win the prize, hematite was my guess!!
Bloody pinky? (Not the British bloody, btw)
I think it might be a shadow
a shadow of someone else’s blood

Maybe it was hematite, which “absorbs negative energy” according to some people. It’s about the right amount of space.
Yeah, and it’s also a brittle material known to break when turned into rings. So yeah, believe it
I suppose when you make a ring out of natural rust it will break in not too long
…that’s part of the genius for me
There are times when I really wish I had the lack of scrupples to do this sort of thing, but I don’t, so I wont.
Sociopathy is the secret to becoming a billionaire.
Ea-nasir is just looking for an excuse to sell shitty, I mean, inferior quality copper.
He was ahead of his time. Inspired a whole lotta people tho
Minutes ago, I was hoping to get laid by the new person I’m texting. However, it’s past 9pm on a Friday and they went to sleep. Totally understandable, I think.
Now, I’m laughing at an obscure history reference that I just learned through a community called “Really Shitty Copper,” and my nerd-brain is telling me, “This is better anyway.”
Meanwhile, some distant voice in the back of my head is yelling, “Dooooork!”
… Being in your 30s is fucking weird.
Would Nanni take comfort in knowing that people would be making fun of Ea-nasir’s shitty copper over 3700 years later? I’d find it pretty hilarious, myself.
The best part is that if memory serves right there’s another tablet that sheds light on the fact Nanni owed money to Ea-nasir. The reason Ea-Nasir sold Nanni shitty copper was because he was offloading shit goods onto someone he was probably going to take to court anyways. We know about all of this because a copper merchant several millenia ago did the equivalent of saving texts for legal reasons.
That’s quite the stretch for an ea-nasir joke. I prefer the wild ones.
I’m confused by the matte out. Is it to anonymize the ring? Something written on it, maybe?
It was not copper. Look at the spacing on the text around the word.
I’m embarrassed I skimmed right over that on a first glance. Looks like the original was hematite. I’m going to pretend I was making a bad LotR joke.
In the original picture the ring isn’t copper. The word copper is also edited. It was changed to copper for the Ea Nasir joke.
The word “Copper” is clearly edited in as well, so it’s probably covering a ring made by a different material.
Maybe hematite? I seem to remember saying that about hematite when I was young and the whole neopagan and new age stuff had a moment.
The whole “copper absorbs impurities” thing is a long-lasting trope. Copper is very soft and doesn’t break like this. Certainly not a ring in half. The matte out is MS Paint to connect 2 probably unrelated images.
Ah, I’d never heard that. Found the image and it appears to have originally been hematite.
Yeah, brittleness of a stone makes sense for a break like that.
We are censoring jewelry now /s
Bad photoshop is bad. There are free online tutorials that in ten minutes, would teach someone how not to call this a finished product.
The badness is part of the appeal
Recognizable shoops are welcome!
Bad Photoshop >>> bad AI
What if they made the meme on a mobile phone?
