Yeah, well, even IF I lived near enough to go to see this, I am pretty damn sure they would kick me out once I got naked to REALLY revel in it.

I mean, c'mon, it's not like PANTSLESS Scrooge McDuck didn't set a precendent.

I have never understood that construction. "Famously valuable, [sentence]." Why not just say: "Scrooge McDuck's famously valuable money bin is now becoming reality."?

"iam8bit have loaded up an ersatz money bin with oversized plush cash and other baubles"
so it's basically a ball pit. they shoulda used those plastic gold coins or maybe those gold hanukkah chocolate coins.

01 what even is a duck blur
02 it would be more appealing full of macaroni cheese
03 I think I remember a post, maybe on mefi, showing, perhaps even with exciting graphs/charts, how you would die horribly if you attempted to dive facefirst into a bin full of gold coins?

Duck blur (Urban Dictionary): A chaotic commotion of activity, often compared to a hurricane. Neither ducks nor Duckburg are required for a duck blur to exist.
Race-cars, lasers and aeroplances would all qualify.

When I was ten years old, I spent one day in a undisclosed location, with 1 million US dollars, all in pennies...and ten year old me so badly wanted to treat it like McDucks' money bin.
You can't swim in pennies, but you can bury yourself in them so good that you can't get out.
I also remember the smell of pennies all over my body, it was much more pungent than I would have thought, and pretty disgusting.

Sorry if that sentence structure bothers you, Eideteker. It sounds fine to my ear.

But I would be willing to bet doing it pantsless (MY IMMERSION!) would result in arrests.

Lasers are coherent, not chaotic. A cat stimulated by a laser? That's chaotic.

It's not a liquid; it's a great many pieces of solid matter that form a hard, floor-like surface.

I wonder what the maximum unassisted dive-depth would be for a building-sized money bin, and at what point you would literally be crushed to death by all the coinage on top of you.
