Vanta Black
I'm gambling that the experience of it would mitigate how much of a pain in the ass the repercussions would be.
Edit: I suppose I ought to have looked before, but this appears to be not the healthiest decision (who'd have though‽). Maybe we'll go with some kind of closest equivalent nontoxic paint?
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.
I wanna know what it feels like though :(
It's also grown on aluminum rather than applied as a paint IIRC. You'll have to go with basic hardware store stuff if you want to go for a dip, probably.
Nice interrobang.
I had no idea a single symbol existed for an interrobang?!
It absolutely does‽ Just get your keyboard to auto replace an exclamation and a question mark next to each other into an interrobang.
There's also ⸮ which was a (very) early attempt at what /s now is.
On the morbidly curious side of things, I do wonder what such a person looks like. You would just notice the eyes and the hair. Everything else would just be stark contrast.
There's also the whole, "went vanta black face" issue
Vanta black face is only 2d racism.Which is a measurable amount, but incomparable to 3d racism.
The unit analysis checks out.
Very fine charcoal powder maybe (and self-contained breathing apparatus).
