Slingshots are good.

If you live in a place that regulates them tightly because they are deemed as a weapon then I would recommend putting some practice in with a sling instead since it's much more stealthy. Obviously it's a trade off so a sling is a compromise.

Slings were the deadliest long-range weapon until the advent of the bow and arrow.

If you want to go for a real short range/long range sleeper build in a country that restricts weapons then it's hard to imagine surpassing a staff or self-defence walking cane and a sling, especially because if you know what you're doing you can turn that into a staff sling for even more force.

Right?

Seems like some goofy thing that you'd only hear about in a D&D game but when you see it in action you realise that it's actually just a little handheld catapult and you get the idea that it's actually kinda deadly.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

Reminds me of how the Atlatl (spear thrower) increases the force behind a javelin, just with a sling.

Breadtube if it didn't suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.
