What’s a good way to tie two ropes together, without access to the ends of either rope?

Still waiting to learn of some practical need for such
a joint, and what sort of loading is to be anticipated.

I’ll add one:
If you have a long rope passing by a large object like a tree, and you want to pinch off a loop around the tree without access to either end of the rope.

Concerning Xarax’s/X1’s latest stalking-harassment-name-calling-BS, I’ll let him argue with himself:

If I had to point out the less clever ( = most dumb ) knots I know, this so-called “midspan Sheet bend” would probably be the first ! And I am really sad that the knot tying community has been parroting this ugly tangly over and over again, all those years !

The midspan sheet bend is a fine bend. In fact, I do not know any other simple bend that can do its job.
