    This just sounds more and more appealing. Count me in.

      Alcoholic beverages

      • white wine (but a dip into red would be interesting)
      • beer, for the carbonation
      • champagne, for the bubbles and the decadence of it

      Other liquids

      • sparkling water, a jacuzzi without one
      • rose water (for those who don't know, it is sickly sweet smelling and very persistent and can be food grade)
      • oil, like sunflower, olive or any other of the like. After, just scrape you body, like the ancient athletes would do

        Sounds like something out of a horror film. Your body heat melts you into the material. Then, as heat gets distributed and you have more skin contact, you are no longer generating enough heat to keep the gallium melted.

        You either suffocate as the material solidifies around your abdomen or you freeze to death as the material pulls enough heat from you to kill you.

        Actually because of the density you wont be able to sink more than about 1/6th of your body into it.

            I read these to my husband and he said "an oil bath sounds like it would be good for your skin but you'd be all slipping around and unable to get out then you'd drown." While flailing his arms around as a visual aid.

                        So, if you laid on a large enough block of it, you'd have the perfect shape to make a mold for a customized foam mattress?

                          My goodness, that's almost a bucket list item.

                          Hmm. I wonder how steeped would be best for maximum soothing. Unless it's a heated tub there would be a real art to the timing even once you know.

                            I feel like this is worth uploading to Lemmy. It's an image, apparently from October 1972's National Geographic, of a Spanish miner floating on Mercury:

                            It's denser than lead, so he's just sitting on the top of it like a block of styrofoam would on water. The effect of gallium would not be quite so pronounced, but same idea. This is also why you can't really drown in quicksand unless you work at it (which, if you completely panic, isn't impossible).

                            Meanwhile, you sink straight to the bottom in anything like oil, with no hope of swimming.

                              You'll completely float on mercury, and cesium does no good to your body. Like, at all.

                                I suspect there's an easier choice, if a dense bed is all you need. Every liter of the stuff goes for 872 USD as of 2019. And that's not even bad, considering how rare it is and how great the semiconductors you can make with it are. It's neighbor Germanium is another digit up.

                                    The asses' milk would moisturize skin. I assume a water rinse though, because old milk stinks and could cause a yeast infection.

                                    The asp was legendarily her choice to commit suicide, though it was probably an Egyptian Cobra, if it was a snake at all. (Asp bite death is slower and much more painful than cobra bite death.)
                                    I have a theory that the asp legend depends partly on the fact it's easier to rhyme "asp" than Egyptian Cobra.
                                    As for snakebite in general, I note that male artists have universally portrayed the snake biting her on her bare booby. That's not actually a good way to get the venom quickly to the heart/brain/lungs, because boobies are mostly fat, but it makes good pornArt.

                                    It's actually referred to by the longer aspic in Shakespeare (alongside some very questionable herpetology), which is the main place I imagine there would be influential Cleopatra rhymes in English. According to Wikipedia, they're both the same snake anyway.

                                        It's also grown on aluminum rather than applied as a paint IIRC. You'll have to go with basic hardware store stuff if you want to go for a dip, probably.

                                          There's also ⸮ which was a (very) early attempt at what /s now is.
