Or you know, a coin.
Coins are just really unbalanced three-sided dice.
aka really short cylinders
Too expensive.
This was my thought.
Mfers be out here debating whether the thing depicted is actually a “two sided” dice, meanwhile coins just be chillin over there getting ignored.
Y’all be trippin.
a two sided die is called a coin
The edge of a coin is a 3rd side though
every other die has sides that aren’t counted if you’re doing that.
dice are just flattened spheres. they only have one weirdly shaped side
the flattening is what makes them not spheres and have sides. If we applied this “logic” then literally everything is just anything but in a different form - which makes no sense
congrats on getting the joke
And a very very funny joke, at that
indeed
A side in this case is a specific area that allows for differentiating outcomes
A die can land and stand on a corner if you do it precisely enough.
It needs a designation, why I said what I said. You don’t call side on a coin flip because your only choices are heads or tails
And I was argueing in your favour and you downvoted me for it.
An ideal coin is perfectly flat with no thickness.
then use a freaking fortune fish
Yup, my “d2” in my dice bag is a silver half dollar. Still call it my d2 though.
in my day…
Came here to say this
Looks 4-sided to me
Agreed, but also weird as aren’t d4 made from 4 triangles?
Fuck caltrop d4s, all my homies hate caltrop d4s (it’s me, I’m all the homies)
One set of my dice have very hard/straight/flat edges… The fucking 4 sided has stabbed me many times, but once it went right under my finger nail and drew blood 😫
So would you say I solved the case?
I think Skua might be right, d2?
How can it be a D2, I can literally see 3 sides with my very eyes.
It can be viewed as two interlocking ‘c’ shapes, so it could be dressed as a d4, with a different value at each end of the ‘c.’ Alternatively, each ‘c’ can be considered a single side, making it a d2. Since we already have d4 well represented by the 4-sided triangle, aka tetrahedron d4, this design strikes me as more valuable as a d2
Why not throw a coin at that point?
Some people do. 🤷 I donno, friend, I just work here.

This gave me an idea for a gimmick die. Transparent die filled with dark liquid. The exterior of the die has the usual numbers in white lettering. Inside the die, there is a smaller cork die that rises like a magic 8ball. It’s 2d(x) in 1. Interesting for tension building, if nothing else.
Edit: looked it up and I’m not original, and they’re largely as bad as I thought they’d be
Magic N ball
I’m a bit disappointed that many of these n-sided dice are not isohedral, despite isohedral polyhedra existing for many of these values of n.
The weirdly shaped ones probably sell better. Which would you pick up in a store?
Oh, I still bought the full set, but I tried to get isohedral dice whenever possible.
That’s a weird looking coin
At first glance I thought this was an AI generated picture of a roll of toilet paper…
I’ve seen this shape uses as a D4. Nothing cursed about it. About as threatening to me as a Labrador puppy.
