      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

    They have hurdles so what about a swimming obstacle course? Have them go through underwater hoops and tubes or over/under underwater bars.

    Non-Newtonian fluid would be fun, but the Jesus run would get banned after the first season.

      It would be interesting swimming in diesel. Or mineral oil

      Edit: on second thought, the diesel vapours works probably kill you

          Me, a few minutes ago: “is it Mythbusters? I bet it’s Mythbusters. Mythbusters did this once.”

          clicks play to enjoy a new thing

          Ooooohhhhh fuck yeah that’s the stuff.

          Thanks for the dopamine hit.
