ANY BODY OF WATER — If you are anything like me, you always had a dream of Scrooge McDucking in your money vault.
For those who don't know what that means, it's pretty simple. Scrooge McDucking in your money vault means you step up to the diving board of your massive money vault that holds your billions of dollars — that all happen to be in gold coins. Then, in your best old-timey swimsuit, you take a few bounces on the board and swan dive into the currency and take a few laps.
It broke my heart when my dad told me if I tried to do that in real life I'd break my neck and die. I decided to ignore that information because I still haven't McDucked into gold, and, as far as I know, it's possible.
In addition to taking a refreshing swim in my riches I also want that money so I can buy absurd things. I know most would want to invest that money, use it to pay for your kids' college or save for retirement. But for me I just want to blow it on nonsense like the personal watercraft in this video.
In 2019, Jason Prado used a GoPro camera to capture the awesomeness of this Seabreacher. It's a personal watercraft that can dive underwater and then shoot back out. It's nearly as cool as backstroking through your fortune. I have no idea how much this seacraft costs and I'm too afraid to look it up, because just like I ignored my dad's warnings about Scrooge McDucking into my money, I'm going to ignore the fact that I'll never be able to afford this thing.
Have You Seen This?
Is this ride terrifying or tranquil? You decide.
This ride in Brazil suspends you more than 1,000 feet above the treetops below. But it doesn't look as terrifying as the owners claim.
