- A Roman dodecahedron, a mysterious 12-sided metal object, was discovered in the village of Norton Disney in England.
- The artifact is in excellent condition and is larger than many other dodecahedrons that have been found.
- The purpose of these objects remains unclear, but theories suggest they may have been used for ritualistic or religious purposes.
Aka they have no fuckin clue what it’s for as that’s what they always say when they have no fuckin clue what something’s for.
Kinda annoying that that’s the first go to when not having a fuckin clue what something’s for.

I wouldn’t say it’s awesome at glove fingers. It can be used to knit glove fingers but other configurations would be much better. It’s like guessing that a Super Nintendo was used as a hammer: yeah, you could use it for that if you tried really hard, but if you were setting out to make a hammer you wouldn’t make it Super Nintendo-shaped. https://www.cracked.com/article_32125_no-these-mysterious-roman-artifacts-probably-arent-knitting-aides.html

20 years? They were fine until that broadcasting company bought them in 2016 and highly pushed Facebook video content. That failed and they paid damn near everyone off. I remember their video content being some random old dude for a couple years after and no new articles. They’ve got a writing staff now but their comedic chops are pretty lacking.
When all you got is a Super Nintendo, everything looks like a middle aged plumber.
Except there’s no records of that kind of knitting existing for best part of a thousand years and none of them show the wear you’d expect if that was the use.
Knitting was invented one thousand years after these objects were made.

One style was, this method was invented in 6,500 BC for example.
I wonder if the threads would cause wear patterns that could be analyzed. Or if they were found with fibers around them.
You need to read Motel of the Mysteries. Here’s the premise:
Measuring dry spaghetti portions is a ritual.
Well it’s probably not for making cakes.
Pure speculation
It’s for unlocking the Stargate.
That’s also the reason given when it was obviously a dildo.
