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

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

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.

Just use something similar with a lower melting point. Mercury or cesium both do. You're welcome!
You'll completely float on mercury, and cesium does no good to your body. Like, at all.

Maybe coconut water or aloe vera gel, I imagine it'd feel weird but probably not regrettable.
I guess we've got to beat Cleopatra as our baseline with her bath of asp milk.
Marmite would probably veer into the regrettable category, and I'm saying that as a marmite enjoyer
You’ve got two Cleopatra stories mixed up there.
She was said to bathe in ass’s (donkey’s) milk.
She killed herself by holding an asp (snake) to her breast.

I wanna know what it feels like though

Cold press would make it extra virgin baby oil?
Cold press is the method, extra virgin means first pressing. After the first go, you start to get more baby juices and solids mixed in with the oil.

This just sounds more and more appealing. Count me in.
It's someone's fetish for sure

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.

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

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.

but its me soup, how can I resist?
What happens if I make a me espresso using me soup?

It absolutely does‽

150 litres of Gallium would cost $130800
We need to convince the billionaires that this is the cool thing for them to do...

It seems that you need to go watch Tommy: A Rock Opera immediately
Oh I'm a huge fan.

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?

Sleepytime tea
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.

Define "good."
