I'm guessing the "bubble bath" refers to countless universal hyperspheres and frequent travel between them. There's a reason I make Best Pony a planeswalker, after all. :derpytongue2:

I was going to say that that wasn't the reasoning I had in mind, but upon consideration that interpretation actually works surprisingly well if you're willing to go a bit metaphorical – and given that the original derivation is half-metaphorical anyway, going that route isn't even a real stretch. (Exactly how it manages to be half not-metaphorical is left as an exercise for the reader.) Especially considering that there's essentially zero chance that magically-enhanced LARPing won't become a Thing the instant it becomes remotely practical, and there's a legitimate case to be made for any sufficiently-advanced virtual reality counting as a type of actual reality, so sooner or later there's going to come a point where all sorts of physically-impossible settings spring into actual visitable existence due to the Augmented Reality Role-Playing community....
