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.
This better be John Tickle
Edit: it wasn’t :(
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.
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.
Isopropyl Alcohol
no it’s okay, he’s male, he’s allowed to have all of the genetic advantages he wants
MythBusters tried it with syrup
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.
Then create a new biathlon category: putt putt golf + laser tag.
Also gotta add go karts in there as well
Tower golf and it’s played like Getting Over It
Frisbee Golf already does this. Most frisbee golf courses are designed around their natural environment and require minimal maintenance
Disc golf - Wikipedia - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_golf
Wilderness golf is were its at.
No molten glass? No fucking lava? tf is this weakass shit?
I, like Chuck Norris, swim through earth.
I swim 100 laps in an olympic-sized pool of mercury every day before breakfast.
mfw you’re not swimming in an olympic-sized pool of gleaming liquid iridium.
Just need a nice dolomite coating and you’re good to go
You. You get me. Thank you.
It’s the tough black mineral that won’t cop out when there’s heat all about.
Im 40% dolomite
200m heavily polluted French river
And if you can do that you unlock the 1000m Yangtze crossing.
Tabasco sauce
Calm down, Satan.

Go and see David O’Doherty live if you can. The lad is a riot.
I only know him from Countdown, but he’s been great every episode he shows up.
They tried that in the Paris Olympics, they had the triathlon in raw sewage 😅
Beer, Olive Oil, Carbonated water, Milk, Orange Juice
Jell-O, molasses, tomato paste, alfredo sauce
They have hurdles so what about a swimming obstacle course? Have them go through underwater hoops and tubes or over/under underwater bars.
100m honey
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.
Well sure, but then the Canadians would have a distinct advantage!
Fluoroantimonic acid.
Tennis has different surfaces? They mean table tennis? Well then, what we actually need is a smaller version of swimming.
Sand (aka beach) and whatever turf material they use for standard tennis
