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 thoughβ€½). Maybe we'll go with some kind of closest equivalent nontoxic paint?

Vantablack isn't really paint, it's a coating of nanotubes the size of an atom. I wonder what that would feel like.

[–] Phenomephrene@thebrainbin.org 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

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.

I wanna know what it feels like though :(

I had no idea a single symbol existed for an interrobang?!

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.
