Non-Newtonian fluid would be fun, but the Jesus run would get banned after the first season.
Me, a few minutes ago: "is it Mythbusters? I bet it's Mythbusters. Mythbusters did this once."
it's not mythbusters
clicks play to enjoy a new thing
Ooooohhhhh fuck yeah that's the stuff.
Thanks for the dopamine hit.
It depends on the force being applied and how still the fluid is still, but it's certainly plausible. Think of oobleck (cornstarch and water). Hitting with enough speed and force, the surface will act like a solid
Braniac, a British show kinda like mythbusters, filled a pool with custard and walked over it.
It would be interesting swimming in diesel. Or mineral oil
Edit: on second thought, the diesel vapours works probably kill you
That's what makes it interesting. It's a race to see who can go the furthest before having to exit the pool to breathe.
Ever since the banana peel slip myth, I've wondered what it would be like to swim in a pool filled with that industrial lube they used when they couldn't confirm the myth as stated and had to forcibly make it slippery.
did you see the Nitro Circus behind the scenes for that giant water slide they built? to get enough speed to hit the jump at the end, you had to use lube along with the water so they had these giant 55 gallon drums of KY
Can we start making golf courses out of gravel instead of environmentally damaging grass?
Or, better yet, all golf is moved to digital/putt-putt. No need to waste all that land just to hit a ball.
Frisbee Golf already does this. Most frisbee golf courses are designed around their natural environment and require minimal maintenance

They have hurdles so what about a swimming obstacle course? Have them go through underwater hoops and tubes or over/under underwater bars.
I remember seeing something that a pool filled with liquids thicker than water wouldn't really affect your ability to swim in it, it doesn't even affect the speed at which you swim in it. You would need a liquid that's several times more viscous than something like a syrup to see any real difference from just swimming in water.
Tennis has different surfaces? They mean table tennis? Well then, what we actually need is a smaller version of swimming.
