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 thoughβ½). Maybe we'll go with some kind of closest equivalent nontoxic paint?
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.
Macaroni & cheese
no regrets? You'd just get up and go to bed covered in the stickiness?
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.
Hand scrubber wash. You know the hand soap/lotion thing full of beads to srub your hands clean? Love that. I'd get in a tub of that.
Zero sugar energy drinks.
No sugar means its not gonna get sticky, it'd rinse right off.
I imagine a bunch of creams already use the b vitamins you'd get since they love shoving b vitamins in those.
And it'll actually drain when you're done and a quick rinse will get everything normal afterwards.
coke zero, no question. diet coke? no thank you. Pepsi max? gtfo
Imagine rocking up to the weird bath house all prepped to bathe in Coke and theyβre like, βOh, sorry. We only have Pepsi.β
burn the place to the ground would be the most reasonable response
Honey
least regretable
The only one thatβs physically repulsive to imagine though. It would be so sticky
A mixture of Vaseline and baby oil, just enough to keep it liquified.
That sounds... messy.... but yes, you will technically be quite clean and fragrant after
What is baby oil chemically?
Traditionally, Mineral oil + fragrance
Mineral oil is also known as paraffin oil and is usually a petrochemical derivative composed of larger alkane hydrcarbons. Fragrance varies a lot.
A non-Newtonian fluid
I was going to say heavy water, but TIL that it's not just chonky water. It can be toxic.
Only if you drink it in considerable amounts. Should be pretty fine for a bath though.
I'd say perfluorocarbons, like perfluorodecalin. Harmless and clear, but they have huge oxygen absorption capacity, so you'd surely be able to breathe even if you sank your face in it (probably not fun to do so tho).
Like waterboarding yourself whilst never dying
Warm egg custard
