Least regrettable but most unconventional liquid to take a bath in?

Like waterboarding yourself whilst never dying
No, you still die, because a slow-moving liquid physically can't remove CO2 fast enough from your lungs. Otherwise we'd have lots of premature babies hanging out in jars.
Unfortunately, in humans that's the thing that gives the "suffocating" feeling, and it takes a long time to actually kill you, so normal drowning may well be preferable.

Oatmilk, Tea, Cum, Flavored water (no sugar pls)

one of these is not really like the others is it?

Flavored water does feel like cheating. It's really just water.

Very fine charcoal powder maybe (and self-contained breathing apparatus).

Cum flavoured water could be a big seller

Elon his blood. 6L is enough.

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.
Or if you did get out you'd immediately slip and crack your head open.

That's the point

I think 4L is enough for him to go into shock

150 litres of Gallium would cost $130800
Hmm! Quite the investment vehicle!
(I'm now just picturing tech bros smugly smiling with bathtubs full of gallium) -
What happens if I make a me espresso using me soup?
Isn't that what a lefty-cappuccino is? (urbandictionary..)

I just want to be sure.

Interesting. Liquid ventilators do use pumps; I guess because, as you say, we can't push the liquid fast enough with our own force. But I think some research setups only fill the lungs and then use a regular oxygen ventilator, so maybe it's not that infeasible to survive in a perfluorodecalin-filled tank for at least a few minutes, before becoming exhausted?

Just use something similar with a lower melting point. Mercury or cesium both do. You're welcome!
There's alloys with lower melting points, here's one that's 281K/8°C

Lemon jello.
Just before it sets. -
Sleepytime tea
Feel like any resulting UTIs would be worth it for the great sleep that bath would bring

You'd definitely survive longer than something non-oxygenated. I feel like I read a paper that involved a full hour of immersion in animal trials, but I can't be sure now.
The wiki makes it sounds like in medical settings they only fill the lung partway, usually. That would allow CO2 to escape from the top part. The lung is both massively branched and somewhat delicate, so getting enough pumping going in a full lung sounds like it would be very difficult and invasive. CO2 is so rarefied in healthy blood it doesn't take long at all for diffusion to start working backward in any one alveolus.
There's also technology in trials to remove CO2 from the blood separately, which it only as invasive as a dialysis machine. I have no idea if anyone has tried combining them, although you have to assume it'd be an obvious next step.
