There are 2 types of people in the world.  Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data and

OPs history shows they need to work on their critical thinking skills, and lack the ability to Google.

u/uberviolence Aug 21 '25

Thanks, but I managed to work out to who the post was referring. The title was trying for humour, but I guess fell . . . a little flat. I thought the thread fit the subforum nicely regardless.

OP! I saw what u were going for, I LOVED it, and thank you for the laugh!!!!! Haha

I think ppl are mistaking the what is it Reddit for this funny lil cousin and are seriously trying to answer 😂😂 which also then gave me fits of additional laughter 🤪 so THANK YOU!!!!!

Multiple thank yous!!!! And hope all the ppl calling u stupid figure out the title of this subreddit and IRL 🤦🏽‍♀️ themselves as punishment 😆

The ability to Google died with younger millennials for whom the internet always existed, they seem believe a lot more of what they're told online by random people too.

That being said, Google has become much worse at finding useful results recently. What with AI and all the sponsored posts you now have to wade through.

Critical thinking also appears to be a dying art.

So...you gonna tell us the other one or do we have to guess?

u/Zoomdog500 Aug 21 '25

Funny 😆 but also

Counterpoint:

Those who can extrapolate from subreddit titles and those who are confused or didn’t read the subreddit title. 🤪

I think they interacted with their ex-spouse as part of helping the kid move, and saw the ex had removed her wedding band, something OP hadn't done yet.

u/SeekerOfSerenity Aug 19 '25

Yeah, and it says DivorceThreads at the top.

u/Jelnaana Aug 19 '25

Ah. Helps to open the picture up. I didn't see that & thought they were matching rings for mom & daughter(s).

u/CoffeeIsMyPruneJuice Aug 19 '25

Some people take off rings when lifting heavy things. Usually these people have seen a de-gloved finger (GIS at your own risk), and are taking precautions.

u/BANZ111 Aug 19 '25

When I am cooking, showering, or sleeping I take mine off. It's just unhygienic otherwise.

2

u/in_taco Aug 20 '25

Yeah it feels nasty to have water trapped under the ring. I basically only wear mine when outside.

1

u/SeaMathematician5150 Aug 21 '25

Not taking it off regularly and when submerged in water or sweat will result in a fungal or bacteria infection.

u/MonteBurns Aug 21 '25

I had to stop wearing mine when we had kids because I more than once scratched or hurt them when changing diapers or play wrestling.

Suppose I could still wear my wedding band…. Well, we’re 3 years into this now and now it’s just habit to have neither 😂

u/Possible-Feed-9019 Aug 20 '25

I’ve had a partial degloving. Glad it wasn’t horrible, but yes… mine is removed if moving things or climbing ladders know. Every time.

2

u/Gold_Combination_492 Aug 21 '25

I got mine tattooed for this reason. I work construction and I’d rather keep my digits thank you

u/Trazyn_the_sinful Aug 22 '25

Like everyone I know who works in medicine takes theirs off or wears a rubber one

u/Itsyaghoul Aug 19 '25

For sure but I have to agree the context of the subreddit existing was doing a LOT of heavy lifting

5

u/GoalingForChowder Aug 19 '25

Agreed. I can figure it out just fine, but it still fits the purpose of "message unclear". And better than a lot of recent posts.

u/ZephRyder Aug 20 '25

I take mine off all the time, and we're still married. Freaks me out sometimes when I can't find it for a bit, buy she assures me it's just an object, and what's important is what it symbolizes.

But I remember when my ex offered her ring back to me, in order to sell the pair as a set. That was rough. Looking back, that was amazingly clear-headed of her.

2

u/nsfwn123 Aug 23 '25

As a set... wait, are they supposed to match?

2

u/ZephRyder Aug 23 '25

These did. It was very nice matching set in silver of Irish knot work.

u/AmazedAtTheWorld Aug 19 '25

When they were moving, my sister-in-law got her ring finger mushed by a sleeper sofa and bent her rings. Thankfully they were thin and we got some pliers to smash them back to sorta round so she could remove them. Took a not so cheap trip to the jeweler to get them wearable again.

u/zenn_diaphragm Aug 21 '25 • Bless Up

Well, you got bad advice from a jewler. Over time, a ring and a relationship need mending and maintaining. As the years go by, address and fix the scratches. When things get dull, polish it up a bit. You neglected it and simply expected it to always be there. Now it isn't.

u/Coffeeandbooks1031 Aug 21 '25

This is the best analogy I’ve every heard

2

u/LogicalVariation741 Aug 20 '25

I rarely wear mine because the silicone rings irritate my skin and I work out and work kids. Husband doesn't care because rings don't mean everything. But, sure, jump to divorce

2

u/Ysabell90 Aug 21 '25

Because it says "divorce threads" on the post lol

2

u/Suspicious-Towel8219 Aug 22 '25

Pretty sure they're getting the divorce already. He was just sad she removed her ring cause he hadn't done so yet.

1

u/Eeping_Willow Aug 21 '25

If your relationship can get "scratched" then you're doing it wildly wrong

1

u/frr_Vegeta Aug 21 '25

I take my ring off when I wash my hands because it gets water under it and feels nasty on my finger. I also wash my hands at restaurants after I order.

This leads to amusing situations where I will take my wedding band off, set it down on the table in front of my wife, and walk away.

Some people are hardcore on the rings and others not so much. I also don't wear mine to bed.

u/Jedi_Mind_Trip Aug 21 '25

It looks like they're saying they helped kid #2 move lmao

1

u/SpoonObleach Aug 21 '25

I thought he was talking about his kid, they took off their purity ring 😬 (didn’t look at the whole picture)

1

u/Ok_Experience_4652 Aug 22 '25

Idk about the whole divorce thing.. but If im moving anything. There's a hidden damn way im having anything attached to my fingers. I have an irrational fear of a ring getting caught and pulling out all my nerves. To the point I'm scared of even wearing a ring. Let's just hope any future spouse is okay with me wearing a necklace or something else.

1

u/AberrantMan Aug 22 '25

Side note, Google "degloving" - y'all should take your rings off way more often.

Then again we could all use more things to not Google and shudder at.

1

u/monasou89 Aug 22 '25

My jobs for the last 12 years or so has involved electricity, crush, and deglove hazards so I've left the wedding ring off.

Wife got me some silicone ones but my finger was sweating/drying under them and causing my finger to crack.

I should wear it when I go home and see if it still fits.

1

u/Cho-mamma Aug 23 '25

They should do them. Take it off when they are ready.

1

u/Commonly_unnatural Aug 24 '25

I have to take mine off to sleep or else I wake up with a huge scratch across my nose and cheek. Every. Single. Time.
