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

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

Ketchup is a non-Newtonian fluid and I’m pretty sure that wouodn’t work Oobleck might though.

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
