    If Elon Musk wanted to use his company to be a dipshit and fling his car into space, why not?

    The EPA and other regulators could control them better, but whatever ventures they choose to make are their own dumb choices. The only ways their dumb PR project intersects with anything NASA related is theyre both doing space things and NASA happens to give them contracts (which is how they’re able to afford to launch a car into space as a PR stunt).

    Iirc it was the Abbasid Rashidun Caliphate that was the first Muslims to take over Egypt. The 1000 years prior or so, it’d been Roman territory (Byzantine after the fall of Western Rome, but same difference).

    Edit: My memory was shakey and I appreciate the correction.








  • I could actually see this being a cantrip for a bard or arcane trickster. It’s almost innocent in its mischief but would be a worthwhile hindrance on the battlefield.

    For shoes without laces and creatures without shoes it could simply loop magical string around them.

    Prob just a cut to movement with a dex save at the start of every move (like once per turn but they can avoid it by choosing not to move). Doesn’t need to be a high save, but if they fail, they trip.

    Since it’s a cantrip they can remove the string with an action, and they last a number of turns equal to caster level.

    I’d also love to see a DM be creative with how much it effects certain creatures. Centipede? Probably a little pissed but not too hindered by stumbling on one pair of legs. 1 legged Pete? Completely unaffected as he jumps at you with his 1 leg.

    My first instinct was “small, will probably run into the nearest tree at light speed” but I did some reading and they common thought without much science behind it is that sun bear are pretty fuckin aggressive and even tho they’re small, they’d still probably fuck your shit up.
