You jest, but I knew a DND player with a dice addicting that loved showing off his D-1 Mobius strip dice - https://www.awesomedice.com/products/awd101?variant=45578687...

For some reason he did not like my suggestion that he get a #1 billard ball.

There's a link to a D2, where prior to clicking I was thinking "well that's a coin, right?" until I realised a coin is technically a (very biased) D3.

Love it - any sphere will do.

A ping pong ball would be great - the DM/GM could throw it at a player for effect without braining them!

That's like saying a donut only has one side.

The linked die seems similar to this: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/d1-one-sided-die which seems adjacent to a Möbius strip but kinda isn't because the loop is not made of a two sided flat strip. https://wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%B6bius_strip

Might be an Umbilic torus: https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Umbilic_torus

The word side is unclear.

I've always seen a D1 as a bingo ball...
