@Sparrow @ThatDamnCat In Tolkien's Universe, "goblins" in The Hobbit = "orcs" LoTR.
There's a key line in Jackson's LoRT where someone (Gandalf?) says that Saruman bred "Orcs w/ Goblins" to make his Uruk Hai. However, in the books, the line is "Orcs & Men." So Jackson seems to have decided that in his universe these are different creatures.
Still, in Tolkien's LoTR, Orcs vary widely in size & shape, because they are sub-species bred for different purposes (tunneling, war, labor, for example).

@cnc@cybre.space I will too. My lichess account (anummabrooke) is new but I used to play some correspondence with friends.
@cnc@cybre.space I can never believe that everybody with a directory full of unreadable 20-year-old proprietary word-processor files isn't breaking down the doors to learn about plain text.
srsly tho, we enjoy our old-timey memes here, but they'll pass, new users will have their own in-jokes, and yet it will still
BE TWO DAYS BEFORE I SAY I'M SORRY
@InspectorCaracal@tootplanet.space Or if not, be but sworn, my love, and I'll no longer be a pineapple.

@thefishcrow Boom. Now I'm happy and can go to bed.
The fault, dear Brutus, lies not within the the stars, but in ourselves, that we are pineapples.
"Stay, man, the hurt cannot be much."
"May, 'tis not so deep as a well, nor so wide as a pineapple. But 'tis nuff, will serve."
Is this a pineapple I see before me?
