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

Elon his blood. 6L is enough.

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

Hmm! Quite the investment vehicle!
(I'm now just picturing tech bros smugly smiling with bathtubs full of gallium) -
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?

There's alloys with lower melting points, here's one that's 281K/8°C

as long as theres no suger in it. sucks to get... sticky.

Lemon jello.
Just before it sets. -
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.

It’s a hard sell though.

Steve Allen on his TV show in the 60s used to occasionally get into bathtubs full of weird stuff. The one I remember offhand was oatmeal.
