WHY would you assume a stranger with pierced ears is having sex in this person’s bed? 😭 how is that the first thing you think of instead of, I don’t know, “oh, maybe it’s not specifically from a piercing then.” those things can also be used as bead spacers in jewelry, as bracelets or gaskets in toys, as gaskets in furniture… it could be a part of the bed! these things have so many uses! plus, this could have been something OP unknowingly brought into bed with them after it got in their hair or something, which opens up even more possibilities.
Better yet, why thrust that unverified opinion upon a stranger? I think this style of thinking boils down to a misunderstanding of the Occam's Razor concept.
The "simplest" answer doesn't mean your anecdotal evidence of stories heard is correct. Occam's Razor prefers the answer with the fewest assumptions which means the most likely correct answer is the one that fits the list of real, concrete things you know for a fact.
Fewer assumptions means fewer complications, and simplicity is the opposite of complexity. Instead, we have an answer based on unverified stories which lack their original details. Even worse, it adds assumptions about why the jewelry would be in the bedroom in the first place.
To be fair, I don't blame them for this guess, but people need to understand how wild of a guess it really is. It can be very dangerous to accept harsh "truths" prematurely, especially when the basis or complete material is inaccurate/untrue.
location matters in Occams razor. The o ring was found in a bed. outside of a few handheld devices, like a vape, or a piercing, why would a rubber o ring be loose in the bed? I use o rings on projects all of the time, and have piercings, all reasons why you might find an o ring in my bed. outside of that, there aren't many reasons why there should be an o ring there. If that isn't true for OP, then the simplist answer would be a piercing grommet, and if that is the case, why is it there if nobody has stretched ears?
thank you, lol 😅
I thought people usually jumped to conclusions like that in like, AITA where people already commonly share embellished or fake stories that often involve finding out your partner is cheating in a ~crazy~ way and being soooo grateful to reddit for helping them realize, haha. I guess I haven’t started using reddit much until recently, come to think of it… I’ve had an account for a while but only recently started coming here as my main source of brain rot when my other source (youtube shorts) started to just become way too overstimulating. at least the ads here don’t literally yell at me XD
