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.

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

Ngl, you can do a lot of damage with a slingshot and some creativity

Not gonna go into detail for... reasons

I wish HBO had a sense of - cough - adventure. They could have a zombie series called Zombie Island that starts out as a show-within-a-show. There are a bunch of DIY homemade weapons people filming a reality tv series on an island. And - you guessed it - the zombie apocalypse starts and these people have a perfect challenge. Once the zombies reach their island - can they kill them all? The first episode could be called Preparing. And then every other episode is simply carnage city.

Hollywood will eventually figure out this is a great idea. I'm certain of it.

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.
