Dumb advertisement near me had a sign up about their “sparkling pool” which got me thinking…what would it be like to swim in carbonation?
I think you would float better? Probably? Would it hurt more? Would all the released carbon dioxide in the vicinity of the pool be a problem?


No worries, I love weird mental exercises like that. If you’re into that sort of thing, you should check out What If? By Randall Munroe. Excellent couple of books.
IIRC he does a counterpart vblog series. I’ve watched a couple, but definitely needed a big mug of coffee to keep up!
Yes! It’s essentially an entire book based off that concept!
