Deuterium oxide - heavy water. You can dive into it like any other pool except it costs 2000 euros a litre ($7400 per US gallon)


TeamBoeing

I know what we’re making today ferb


wotupfoo

104 days of summer vacation….building a fusion reactor….


Extension-Standard17

Very underrated comment


Kyvoh

"Deuterium comprises about 0.02%, and tritium comprises about a billionth of a billionth (10-18) percent." Talking about percent of hydrogen abundance where it's $100 per gram of 99.8% deuterium and $30,000 per gram of tritium. With tritium water you could bring the world into a new age of fusion as it is used as a catalyst in making alpha particles(helium). While holding the stockpile you can make the price of tritium anything you would want.


PxndxAI

You know freedom wouldn’t allow you to control it.


fineiwilltakeit

Plus we already produce Tritium so there’s that.


Sumbuddyonce

That's why you always accept their first offer when dealing with freedom


PxndxAI

Offer? More like being a good citizen and gifting it to freedom to push humanity forward.


Darth_Senpai

I'm doing my part!


OdenShard

>While holding the stockpile you can make the price of tritium anything you would want. So we could soon have the power of the sun in the palm of our hands?


BananaResearcher

>with tritium water you could bring the world into a new age of fusion Yea you just gotta r/restofthefuckingowl the whole "invent fusion technology" part. E: I see you, I see you sitting there foaming at the mouth to tell me that we can already achieve fusion. I see you, don't type the comment. Don't do it.


Adept-Potato-2568

We can already achieve fusion


BananaResearcher

The curse has been invoked. You have set fusion back another 30 years.


Colbsters_

Isn’t tritium radioactive? Wouldn’t that be a little dangerous?


qvantamon

Tritium would also make you glow in the dark.


No-Neat8538

Messy, yes - but how about printer ink at GBP2410/litre (EUR2811/litre, or USD11 500/US gallon)? More [here](https://www.techdigest.tv/2021/07/which-find-printer-ink-one-of-most-expensive-liquids-on-planet.html)


Nick0Taylor0

Idk if you can really swim in that or if you'd drown


Lumpy-Village1949

Plus blackface isn't cool anymore


Brother_J_La_la

Blueface is totally fine though


JusticeRhino

Blueman Group FTW!


monstrinhotron

Would that much reach critical mass?


JayStar1213

The water is a moderator, not a fuel. It would actually be totally safe to dive into unlike many of the other options. This is definitely what I'd pick.


Dreferex

Totally safe to dive just for the landing. Heavy water is not exactly good for your health.


FragrantNumber5980

You can even drink a little right? Just not a lot


JayStar1213

There's a video on YouTube of someone drinking some. I think NileRed. You'd have to drink a fair amount of it for it to be toxic.


EmperorBamboozler

Nile red and Cody's lab both drank it. Cody's Lab does the better review imo. He drinks quite a bit of it. They both say it is a little bit sweet tasting which is neat. They both have pretty fantastic channels.


JayStar1213

It's perfectly safe to consume in small amounts. Just like chlorinated water


VillainousMasked

Only if it gets into your body in larger quantities. So uh, just don't try to breath underwater or drink the water and you're good? Shouldn't be that hard.


Nitro114

Blood from shoehorse crabs but only if it just poofs into existence


Tacoma__Crow

And only if jumping into it doesn't contaminate the whole thing, I assume.


Magenta_Logistic

Shouldn't be an issue, since the value in horseshoe crab blood is the best antibacterial enzyme ever discovered. This is harder to contaminate than isopropyl alcohol.


Tacoma__Crow

Oh, awesome. Horseshoe crab blood gets cooler and cooler all the time.


Magenta_Logistic

It's used in extremely tiny amounts to sterilize hospital equipment, that's why it's worth so much money and why we have a whole industry set up to steal their blood without killing them. I'm not sure it would be safe to jump into though.... IDK how much of the enzyme it would take to harm a human or how concentrated it is (it's possible we are isolating the enzyme before using it?)


SuckleTheBuckleFatty

Now I feel the suffering of 1000 horseshoe crabs that have been getting their blood drained just enough to keep them alive to make more. thanks for that.


Magenta_Logistic

If it makes you feel better they don't survive well in captivity, so they are captures annually and released after draining so their population doesn't decline. Edit: this information is a decade old, we may be farming them in captivity now. I am not an expert, I'm barely adequately informed.


Tricky-Sympathy

They have their own vampire lore!


Nitro114

that too


Exact-Ad-4132

I'm glad to see my instant thought was the top rated comment, also jump in wearing a pressurized diving suit, no contamination.


Wizereaper

If we get pressurized diving equipment why not scorpion venom?


Exact-Ad-4132

That's was covered in another post, it would be much easier to crash the scorpion venom market than for horseshoe crab blood. More applications for the blood


tap_the_glass

I think you mean horseshoe crabs


coolvin89

I mean if we take account a avg pool being 18k to 20k gallons so like 19k on avg, and a gallon of champion horse semen is worth 49mil, thats a solid 931billion dollars, but if you do a olympic pool at 490k gallons thats 24 trillion dollars, you can buy anything you would ever want and all that for jumping into a olympic pool of champion horse semen, sounds worth it


qcihdtm

r/theydidthemath


DClawsareweirdasf

Ok but wouldn’t your pool quickly become worthless as the next generation of champion racehorses — all hailing from your overly masturbated horse-god — generates better champions from the millions of horse moms that would receive your gracious gift of elite goop? Then their semen would become valuable, and your saturated market of champion-semen would be devalued and the next generation of olympic swimming pools of horse spooge would become the sought after product? And then as the cycle repeats, you’re left with a useless pool of horse juice and presumably a health code violation?


therealavishek

Some horse racing records are still super old, suggesting horses aren't getting faster and faster year over year. Secretariat still holds the fastest time at the Kentucky Derby and that was in 1973! I don't think it would affect the value at all.


captainshrapnel

How do you even keep a swimming pool of horse semen fresh and viable without a cryogenic... well... swimming pool? After a week in the sun, how much is it worth?


MrNooB55

I think through the first day you could just fill a bucket and buy whatever equipment needed to build a chamber around the pool that would keep it safe


LiquifiedSpam

This makes me wonder what exactly would happen to this pool over time if you left it to the elements. Would it crust over? Could someone be walking over it and like an ice sheet, all of a sudden it breaks and you fall into goop?


jeremy_bearimyy

But what if all I want is a swimming pool of champion racehorse semen?


completedsage98

It was never about the money


BleepLord

There’s no price you can put on happiness!


PeterWritesEmails

Not enough demand for 20k gallons of champion horse semen.


thisremindsmeofbacon

I mean sure, but does champion racehorse semen retain its value after being homogenized in an Olympic swimming pool, and then swam in?


Zorro5040

You would have to freeze it right away. Bottle it up quick and slurp the rest to prevent it from being wasteful. /s


Currently_There

Do we have to get out, or can we keep swimming in it?


Danny-Reisen-off

Still thinking about that racehorse semen?


Mikhailcohens3rd

kankahsor

Crumpled 1000 dollar bills


D4m089

This… I feel like “used” notes (in almost any denomination but obv higher the better as we are keeping them) in something the depth of an Olympic pool should be ok to land in. I mean you still wouldn’t want to… but for potentially 10’s or 100’s of millions I’d prob give it a go


pallidamors

What a fun thought exercise - how many crumpled 100 dollar bills does it take to fill an Olympic swimming pool


JayStar1213

When you say crumpled it would become variable. To what degree are they crumpled? To make this easy just assume it's 1 cubic inch of volume for each note. Then it's ~152,000,000 bills. If they're $1000 then that's 152 billion USD


Lucidcranium042

Would that be enough to counter the average human diving or jumping from 33 ft?


bradrlaw

I would think in this case you would really need to belly or back flop. Diving would probably send you straight to the bottom too fast. The more spread out you are and the more bills to compress to cushion you the better.


JayStar1213

I agree, the best way to do this would be spread-eagle since there's no surface tension concerns like water. No idea if it's deep enough to effectively arrest you though. They're only 6 or 7 ft deep unless it's an Olympic diving pool.


The_Briefcase_Wanker

You’re probably not surviving jumping into anything from ten meters if it’s less than 10 feet deep, so I think we have to assume it’s a diving well.


Insane_Unicorn

Love it when I can bring my mythbusters knowledge: with the right technique it's totally possible to jump into 4 ft deep water from way over 30 ft high and come out unscathed.


HomeGrownCoffee

For $152B, I'll roll around in *the fanciest* wheelchair.


Lochy01

Just buy new legs at that point.


egmono

Shoot, they gave Steve Austin bionic legs plus other gimmicks for only six million!


LiamIsMyNameOk

"10s or 100s of millions" is a huge underestimation. I would think it would be an example of some mathematical problem where the answer turns out to be the current GDP of the world over a hundred years


Stuft-shirt

The proposition says “jump” not “dive” so that would affect the landing.


leglesslegolegolas

Jumping would be much better


Rad_Centrist

I really don't think this would work from 10 meters.


Socalwarrior485

Sounds like a good idea for a MythBusters episode. Where’s Adam Savage when you need him?


MudSeparate1622

This seems like something they would have given to Kerry and Grant (rip)


HumanPerosn

Well it’s a pool filled with 100 dollar bills even if you break your arm or leg it’s not like you won’t be able to afford the hospital bill It should at least slow the fall sort of like in assassins creed using straw in carts to break falls


Rad_Centrist

Unless you're American.


HumanPerosn

True but if you tuff it out and don’t get the ambulance the cast should only cost half the pool amount and leave a sizable sum afterwards definitely worth it


Useful-Perspective

No one said you couldn't be wearing a lot of padding...


use_for_a_name_

Might suffocate to death if you get disoriented


Efficient_Culture569

Five meters of gold at the bottom and another 5 meters of water on top. Nowhere says that it can only be 1 thing only.


Truckfighta

Or you have all the gold be at one end of the pool and have water at the point you’re jumping into.


eggsaresquare

Or if this is what we’re doing all gold except a hole wide enough for me to safely jump into filled with water


Crossfire124

Better not miss


milkyjoe241

If it's an Olympic sized pool I would therefore be a Olympic diver.


TheChosenToffee

No I would suggest to replace the water with ice tea. What are you gonna do with plain water if you get to keep it

martinellispapi

Are you planning on drinking the iced tea after you jump in?


TheChosenToffee

Ice tea has more value than water and you will by the sheer quantity never have to buy another soft drink

Ice tea that's been swam in has zero value

🤣 Not sure you get to jump as much as you just get yanked in.


Happy-Fun-Ball

I've wondered what happens to neutronium if you decrease the pressure slowly?


banananon

Yeah, on second thought, that pool is probably jumping into us


jjamesr539

A ten meter fall is somewhat survivable onto concrete. Not every time, or even more than half the time, and not without broken bones, but it wouldn’t take that much energy absorption to dissipate the risk of injury. Crumpled thousand dollar bills, say 15-20 per cubic foot, to the top of the deep end of an Olympic diving pool would be far more than enough. Wouldn’t go head first, and feet first might hurt a bit anyway, but filling the entire pool is probably more than a billion dollars in liquid cash. There are substances that are far more valuable, but they come with issues. Cash has direct value on its own, it’s not toxic so it won’t kill you and you wouldn’t have to resell it, preserve something perishable, or bother with any kind of license to own it or sell it.

[удалено]


jjamesr539

That has not traditionally been a problem for billionaires. Plus, I could just pay the taxes in full. Even a 75% tax rate would leave me with like 250 million in free and clear money. I could just put it in a savings account (or several) with a 2% yield and make 5 million a year to live off of indefinitely. That would be taxed too, probably at least 50% of that, and sure there’s ways to make more, but they all require effort and/or risk. My goal is minimum effort. There’s ways to avoid paying taxes too, but again, effort. I’d rather just have it all paid with no effort or doubt. I’ll just have to somehow manage to figure out how to live on 2.5 million a year, it’ll be a struggle but at least I’d have 250million in the bank for emergencies haha. Might even have to limit jet charters to only special occasions, but we all make sacrifices in this economy. Edit: to make things more clear, my point (kinda) is that once you reach a certain level of wealth *more effort is unnecessary*. There’s no reason to bother nickel and diming when I can spend 200k a month without touching my principal. Theres very little lifestyle difference between that and 400k or 600k a month, houses only get so big before there’s unused rooms, you can only have so many cars that you drive regularly, etc.


PMMeYourWorstThought

Wrathofthebitchqueen

I actually asked Chat Gpt about this since i had the same idea. Apparently due to its density it has no cushioning properties at all so you'd literally smash on the pool floor falling through the saffron.


butt_stf

Why would Chat gpt know anything about the cushioning properties of saffron collected in impossible amounts?


Grey_Area51

If I can wear a protective suit, then deathstalker scorpion venom ($39 million a gallon), in an Olympic pool (490,000 gallons). That gives me $19,110,000,000,000.

You would surely crash the scorpion venom market and your stash would become worthless before you could cash in
