Elon his blood. 6L is enough.
I think 4L is enough for him to go into shock
I just want to be sure.
Oatmilk, Tea, Cum, Flavored water (no sugar pls)
Cum flavoured water could be a big seller
one of these is not really like the others is it?
Flavored water does feel like cheating. It’s really just water.
Sleepytime tea
My goodness, that’s almost a bucket list item.
Hmm. I wonder how steeped would be best for maximum soothing. Unless it’s a heated tub there would be a real art to the timing, even once you know.
Oxygen
There certainly wouldn’t be any regrets (because you would not have time to do so before death).
Would the temperature be reasonable for a human in liquid form?
At 1 bar the boiling point of oxygen is 90.19 K (−182.96 °C, or the temperature of a banana when thrown into liquid oxygen, in freedom units) so lower than this up to freezing point (54.36 K, −218.79 °C) is liquid form. So it should be comfortable for a human to bath in, with the current world tension, clown leaders and right wing extremism on the rise.
sounds quite lovely in contrast
No. It even passes the critical point at just 5 bars, in case anyone was trying to get clever with high pressures.
Also, skin becomes very flammable in pure oxygen (at atmospheric pressure), in case you’d prefer that kind of burn.
Alcoholic beverages
- white wine (but a dip into red would be interesting)
- beer, for the carbonation
- champagne, for the bubbles and the decadence of it
Other liquids
- sparkling water, a jacuzzi without one
- rose water (for those who don’t know, it is sickly sweet smelling and very persistent and can be food grade)
- oil, like sunflower, olive or any other of the like. After, just scrape you body, like the ancient athletes would do
I read these to my husband and he said “an oil bath sounds like it would be good for your skin but you’d be all slipping around and unable to get out then you’d drown.” While flailing his arms around as a visual aid.
Or if you did get out you’d immediately slip and crack your head open.
Water based lube.
It’d have to be a communal bath though, and I’m inviting you all, even Hairy Steve.
Extrapolating from the slipperiness of lube on the floor: this is a terrible idea. People will be bouncing around like pinballs.
This just sounds more and more appealing. Count me in.
It’s someone’s fetish for sure
Gallium? It’s solid at room temperature, but your own body heat will melt it, so you lie down on a solid block of metal and then slowly sink into a melting puddle in the middle of it. It’s non-toxic and six times denser than water so you’d be really floaty on it too
Sounds like something out of a horror film. Your body heat melts you into the material. Then, as heat gets distributed and you have more skin contact, you are no longer generating enough heat to keep the gallium melted.
You either suffocate as the material solidifies around your abdomen or you freeze to death as the material pulls enough heat from you to kill you.
Actually because of the density you wont be able to sink more than about 1/6th of your body into it.
I feel like this is worth uploading to Lemmy. It’s an image, apparently from October 1972’s National Geographic, of a Spanish miner floating on mercury:
It’s denser than lead, so he’s just sitting on the top of it like a block of styrofoam would on water. The effect of gallium would not be quite so pronounced, but same idea. This is also why you can’t really drown in quicksand unless you work at it (which, if you completely panic, isn’t impossible).
Meanwhile, you sink straight to the bottom in anything like oil, with no hope of swimming.
So, if you laid on a large enough block of it, you’d have the perfect shape to make a mold for a customized foam mattress?
I suspect there’s an easier choice, if a dense bed is all you need. Every liter of the stuff goes for 872 USD as of 2019. And that’s not even bad, considering how rare it is and how great the semiconductors you can make with it are. It’s neighbor germanium is another digit up.
Edit: Wow, somebody already linked this exact thing elsewhere.
This was my first thought. Terrifying! Claustrophobia has entered the chat.
Shit
150 litres of Gallium would cost $130800
Hmm! Quite the investment vehicle!
(I’m now just picturing tech bros smugly smiling with bathtubs full of gallium)We need to convince the billionaires that this is the cool thing for them to do…
Well that does make it quite regrettable for most people, I suppose
It might act like a giant heatsink tho, making your body cool out as soon as it starts melting and creating proper surface contact. But chilling in 20°C water is also not really an issue so i guess it depends on the thermal conductivity of the skin/gallium interface.
Just use something similar with a lower melting point. Mercury or cesium both do. You’re welcome!
You’ll completely float on mercury, and cesium does no good to your body. Like, at all.

Thanks i will try it out later :)
I’m sure an Infinite ice bath has an appeal to someone
You don’t want it to get in your body (holes, cuts etc…)
the physical description also applies to butter
Missed opportunity for a Saw film
Heavy water - like water, just heavier.
What dilution? 25% makes you sterile and 50% kills you after a week of drinking it
Wait, would it work as a contraceptive, then?
Don’t eat your bath salts. Don’t drink your bathwater.
As a general rule: Just don’t.
but its me soup, how can I resist?
What happens if I make a me espresso using me soup?
Isn’t that what a lefty-cappuccino is? (urbandictionary…)
You have to have 25% and 50% in your body fluids for it to happen, if you drink a glass of 50% heavy water you won’t drop dead a week later.
Maybe coconut water or aloe vera gel, I imagine it’d feel weird but probably not regrettable.
I guess we’ve got to beat Cleopatra as our baseline with her bath of asp milk.
Marmite would probably veer into the regrettable category, and I’m saying that as a marmite enjoyer
You’ve got two Cleopatra stories mixed up there.
She was said to bathe in ass’s (donkey’s) milk.
She killed herself by holding an asp (snake) to her breast.
coconut water
in a heartbeat
aloe vera
I can imagine this feeling really tingly after a while, though not sure why.
asp milk
what is this? I googled and found nothing
marmite
I too partake joyfully in that hellish sludge, and have wondered what depths of depravity I would willingly go to to satisfy that dark craving
Wikipedia says donkey milk was used by Cleopatra, not asp milk. Maybe OP meant ass milk and got autocorrected, but that sounds really wrong.
An asp is a type of snake so that sounds uhh, difficult
You can milk snake venom. Still doesn’t sound too easy.
what is this? I googled and found nothing
Ah I got my history slightly wrong, she bathed in donkey milk and just liked asps (a kind of snake)
The asses’ milk would moisturize skin. I assume a water rinse though, because old milk stinks and could cause a yeast infection.
The asp was legendarily her choice to commit suicide, though it was probably an Egyptian Cobra, if it was a snake at all. (Asp bite death is slower and much more painful than cobra bite death.) I have a theory that the asp legend depends partly on the fact it’s easier to rhyme “asp” than Egyptian Cobra. As for snakebite in general, I note that male artists have universally portrayed the snake biting her on her bare booby. That’s not actually a good way to get the venom quickly to the heart/brain/lungs, because boobies are mostly fat, but it makes good
pornArt.It’s actually referred to by the longer aspic in Shakespeare (alongside some very questionable herpetology), which is the main place I imagine there would be influential Cleopatra rhymes in English. According to Wikipedia, they’re both the same snake anyway.
Milk ?
lmao, the most rational answer in this whole thread
Heinz Baked Beans.
Excuse you, this isn’t unconventional at all, 69,000,000 Brits do it every morning
Baked Beans
It seems that you need to go watch Tommy: A Rock Opera immediately
Oh I’m a huge fan.
no regrets?
Oobleck for the experience. It wouldn’t clean you, but you’d have a story. Possibly mild regret if it’s in a bathtub that you need to clean or a house who’s plumbing you’re responsible for afterwards.
I like it – though how do I get out of it?
Very slowly.
Macaroni & cheese
no regrets? You’d just get up and go to bed covered in the stickiness?
Who says I’m going to bed?
You’re going to work
Astroglide
Vanta Black
I’m gambling that the experience of it would mitigate how much of a pain in the ass the repercussions would be.
Edit: I suppose I ought to have looked before, but this appears to be not the healthiest decision (who’d have though‽). Maybe we’ll go with some kind of closest equivalent nontoxic paint?
Very fine charcoal powder maybe (and self-contained breathing apparatus).
Vantablack isn’t really paint, it’s a coating of nanotubes the size of an atom. I wonder what that would feel like.
Yeah, after I looked at it a bit and saw that exposure to/inhaling nanotubes probably isn’t the greatest idea I figured nontoxic paint was the next go to.
It’s also grown on aluminum rather than applied as a paint IIRC. You’ll have to go with basic hardware store stuff if you want to go for a dip, probably.
I wanna know what it feels like though :(
Nice interrobang.
I had no idea a single symbol existed for an interrobang?!
It absolutely does‽ Just get your keyboard to auto replace an exclamation and a question mark next to each other into an interrobang.
There’s also ⸮ which was a (very) early attempt at what /s now is.
On the morbidly curious side of things, I do wonder what such a person looks like. You would just notice the eyes and the hair. Everything else would just be stark contrast.
There’s also the whole, “went vanta black face” issue
Vanta black face is only 2d racism.Which is a measurable amount, but incomparable to 3d racism.
The unit analysis checks out.
