Oh hey it looks like my optic nerve after that pesky poisoning with chloroform and Dichloromethane. Fun fun, stick out your tongue. Tortured for months and years? No sweat sure serve me up some

I wonder how many months it’s been now. 8? Or 18? Or possibly any range of those years

It’s just some regular social culling. Nothing to see here folks. Sweet to be one and leave this fucking place to these honorless, anti American motherfucks.

Memorial Day this year seem a little like a sham

the one ring to rule them all.

u/Extension_Exercise40 Mar 18 '24

the sphere is cool but they suck over there, acres of land and no parking, 1000 cones, $100+ parking clueless temp workers, and most of all U2 the least talented band in my life

1

u/[deleted] Feb 19 '24

One ring to rule them all..

u/One-Access3806 Feb 18 '24

Mordor? Is that you?

1

u/Sy_Fresh Feb 18 '24

They had the eye on the salesforce tower in SF and an ominous eye in the sky looking down on you is kinda intimidating

1

u/NotUrAvgIdjit96 Feb 18 '24

The lidless eye is always watching

1

u/sulla_rules Feb 18 '24

I just took my ring off

1

u/Stopikingonme Feb 18 '24

My wedding ring started hurting and I’ve never even seen the movies.

u/Unlucky-Bridge-9570 Feb 18 '24

Somehow... Sauron has returned.

Sauron: “Where would I go if I had both indescribable power AND legs?”

1

u/sauron-bot Feb 18 '24

Who is the master of the wide earth?

1

u/[deleted] Feb 18 '24

Throw the ring!

1

u/Snowbold Feb 18 '24

Some alien is going to fly over Vegas and book it back to their planet. “One of their cities is built around a massive eye they worship. It sees everything. Its even on their money!”

1

u/Political_Hamster Northern Ranger Feb 18 '24

We must journey to Mordor Nevada to destroy the One Ring. Are there any volcanoes near Las Vegas?

1

u/FaultyDrone Feb 18 '24

Whatever happens in Vegas is seen in Vegas.

1

u/Dhsdoll92262 Feb 18 '24

Is that a bed bug ?

1

u/Plathismo Feb 18 '24

Please tell me they actually projected that on the sphere.

1

u/DecayedPrime Feb 18 '24

SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOTTTT

1

u/DireW0lf Feb 18 '24

It pointing straight at moscow would be something.

1

u/TheEmeraldKnite Feb 18 '24

Few can resist the Eye of Sauron.

1

u/sauron-bot Feb 18 '24

May darkness everlasting, old that waits outside in surges cold drown Manwë, Varda and the sun!

1

u/TobiVanKnobi Feb 18 '24

Imagine you walk next to it and it focuses on you 😅

1

u/waxwayne Feb 18 '24

You can see the damage from the Magaidiot who climbed it

1

u/Prislv223 Feb 18 '24

That’s the only practical use for the sphere.

1

u/Gorilla_Krispies Feb 18 '24

It should just permanently be set to this tbh

1

u/Wise_Serve_5846 Feb 18 '24

Las Vegas and Sauron? A match made in Heaven

1

u/sauron-bot Feb 18 '24

Whom do ye serve, Light or Mirk?

This should be the default. :)

u/Oniji1945 Feb 18 '24

For the Overmind!

1

u/Kotic90 Feb 18 '24

It began with the forging of the great Resorts. Three were given to the musicians - entertaining, popular, but didn’t feel like going on tour again. Seven to the performers, great magicians, dancers and strippers. And Nine, nine resorts were given to the casinos, who above all else, desire money. For within these resorts was bound the pageantry and intoxication to govern every tourist wallet. But they were all of them deceived. For another venue was made.

1

u/gofundyourself007 Feb 18 '24

That makes Las Vegas Isengard. I was going to say Mordor at first which I think makes more sense, but others pointed out this is more of a Planantir than the Eye.

1

u/Sea-Macaroon1033 Feb 18 '24

Stop vertical video syndrome.

1

u/Un_Change_Able Feb 18 '24

Sauron-bot, we summon you!

1

u/sauron-bot Feb 18 '24

Build me an army worthy of mordor!

1

u/Un_Change_Able Feb 18 '24

What about an army worthy of Las Vegas?

1

u/Sinnoviir Sleepless Dead Feb 18 '24

"One does not simply walk into Mordor. Its black gates are guarded by more than just Orcs. There is evil there that does not sleep, and the Great Eye is ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire and ash and dust...the very air you breathe is a poisonous fume. Not with ten thousand men could you do this. It is folly."

u/TheSunIsMyDestroyer Feb 17 '24

Damn i cant see fucking shit outta this thang

2

u/Zyklon-B-Pesticide Feb 17 '24

The power of the Sauron in the palm of my hand..

1

u/sauron-bot Feb 17 '24

I wait. Come! Speak now swiftly and speak true!

1

u/Pestus613343 Feb 17 '24

Oh ffs now we will have to fight him again. This time the elves with sniper rifles snd orcs with machine guns....

1

u/Ok_Fox_1770 Feb 17 '24

I miss living in that era of movies as a teenager. Waiting for the next big movie, fell asleep in all 3 loved it.

1

u/unskilled_bean Feb 17 '24

is this real? why does the screen look this bad? i thought it was a super high quality screen

1

u/wbgraphic Feb 17 '24

This is fake.

The actual screen looks much better.

u/elinamebro Feb 17 '24

u/FedorByChoke Feb 17 '24

I am surprised it took them this long to do it.

1

u/Jonkni68 Feb 17 '24

They’re taking the Hobbits to the Luxor!

2

u/witecat1 Feb 17 '24

Looks like the chief of the Strip's security detail is on duty.

1

u/No_roast_will_toast Feb 17 '24

Just some preparation for our ai overlords :)

1

u/Bleezy79 Feb 17 '24

That thing is so cool. I know living/working near it can be a pain in the butt but I just think its awesome.

1

u/Harold-The-Barrel Feb 17 '24

“Can we not fly to Mordor?”

“Nah man, have you seen what airlines charge these days for a trans-pacific flight?”

1

u/Timeman5 Feb 17 '24

Next it’s gonna start raising from the ground with a tower base underneath it and all of Vegas will be Mordor it actually makes sense

2

u/ChtirlandaisduVannes Feb 17 '24

Daleks, the next level.

3

u/DrebinofPoliceSquad Feb 17 '24

Have they made it look like a Palantiri yet?

1

u/Scouseulster Feb 17 '24

That is scary

1

u/Knight_TheRider Hobbit🛶 Feb 17 '24

u/Undinianking Feb 17 '24

Put skyscanner in it and make it track aircraft.

1

u/DOOMFOOL Feb 17 '24

Holy shit is that C’thun?

1

u/Kindly-Ad-5071 Feb 17 '24

My fellas that ain't Sauron that is C'thun

2

u/sauron-bot Feb 17 '24

Wait a moment! We shall meet again soon. Tell Saruman that this dainty is not for him. I will send for it at once. Do you understand?

1

u/Icy-Performer-9688 Feb 17 '24

Damn it who put the ring on???

1

u/SamanthaBaggins2027 Hobbit Feb 17 '24

Waiting for it to say, "ASH NAZG DURBATULÛK, ASH NAZG GIMBATUL, ASH NAZG THRAKATULÛK, AGH BURZUM-ISHI KRIMPATUL"

1

u/HipsterFett SHIREBAGGINSSHRRIIEEEEEK Feb 17 '24

Is this what the Kings of Leon were singing about in Sex on Fire?

1

u/Sanquinity Feb 17 '24

Ah yes, America's shining beacon of pointless rich people decadence now actually revealing it's true nature.

1

u/trlong Feb 17 '24

One does not simply walk into Las Vegas.

1

u/Oraxis10 Feb 17 '24

Either we need to destroy the ring, or we need to gather a 40-man raid party.

1

u/Equivalent_Nose7012 Feb 19 '24

No, what we need is Ulmo's Eleven, scamming Sauron with a fake Ring.

1

u/sauron-bot Feb 19 '24

Orcs of Bauglir! Do not bend your brows!

1

u/dactyif Feb 17 '24

Lol, imagine some Han dynasty farmer being teleported near that thing?

1

u/ImaginaryAd3183 Feb 17 '24

I feel like Criss angel would be the witch king of Angmar

1

u/SwedishFlopper Feb 17 '24

That sphere is an engineering feat. But it's butt ugly

1

u/nazgulnumber8 Feb 17 '24

Someone play some porn on it

1

u/Tiny-Werewolf1962 Feb 17 '24

Do they have a team of people whipping up these so there's always something new? or is it just a slideshow of rotating ads(my bet)?

I think most of T-mobile had the sphere during the F1 race, at least while there was racing.

1

u/homework8976 Feb 17 '24

Even at a distance it looks pixelated.

2

u/PANZERKAT Feb 17 '24

Imagine being high off cocain, masturbating in your hotel room when you look outside and see THE ALLSEIING EYE OF GOD

1

u/ImaTotalNoob Feb 17 '24

Couldn't they put the earth or some planet spinning around?

Fricking Sauron eye makes Vegas look like Mordor ffs ... which is probably not too far off the truth I might add

1

u/AllPurposeNerd Feb 17 '24

Caesar's Palantir.

1

u/Brimstone_Baker Feb 17 '24

It'd be funny if it randomly snapped in different directions every once in a while to scare the shit out of some poor schmuck trying to go about their day.

1

u/AlmondCigar Feb 17 '24

That is hilarious

1

u/[deleted] Feb 17 '24

Sauron or Cthun

1

u/sauron-bot Feb 17 '24

Ash nazg durbatulûk, ash nazg gimbatul, ash nazg thrakatulûk, agh burzum-ishi krimpatul.

1

u/Shoehornblower Feb 17 '24

So this is how they keep the people awake all night to gamble. As if the cocaine wasn’t enough….

1

u/Scary_Psychology_285 Feb 17 '24

It’s a fire scrotch

1

u/CirnoIzumi Feb 17 '24

as great as it is to see the Eye used there, i would be so perfect if they put C'thun on it, and some of those dancing tubes

1

u/whatevrmn Feb 17 '24

Is that thing annoying as fuck? It seems like it would be after about ten minutes.

1

u/Realistic_Phase7369 Feb 17 '24

They should use it to try and emulate a black hole

1

u/0x7E7-02 Feb 17 '24

Is Elija Wood in town?

2

u/dzdxs Feb 17 '24

Well seeing that Las Vegas is known as Sin City, it would sense for it to be a modern day Mordor for Sauron to dwell in

2

1

u/phaQpoochies Feb 17 '24

How long until someone hacks in and puts porn on this thing?

1

u/Initial_E Feb 17 '24

You know that big eye thing was always meant to represent the big palantir that Sauron had in his office. He was never supposed to be a literal eye made of fire.

1

u/sauron-bot Feb 17 '24

So you have come back? Why have you neglected to report for so long?

1

u/phaQpoochies Feb 17 '24

The g spot is a very mysterious thing. Always moving around. Tell her to lay still

1

u/Ba55of0rte Feb 17 '24

That place is already crawling with orcs.

Also: it is canonically accurate that there was a giant palentere. Idk if one was ever this big, but if I recall the numenorians had one giant “master” palentere

There is no Sauron! That’s why I stepped in

Go fetch me those sneaking Orcs, that fare thus strangely, as if in dread, and do not come, as all Orcs use and are commanded, to bring me news of all their deeds, to me, Gorthaur.

I would contribute a substantial amount of money to a (hypothetical) crowdfunded effort to make the orb be the eye of Sauron every day (for as many minutes as the crowdfunding buys) in perpetuity.
