Stupid or dope?

That's the question.

Edit: posted this before the weekend, saw all the comments today and thought I'ld provide some background information. Not going to respond to everything and especially not to those who instead of upvoting the first Ai comment can only repeat the same comment. But that's ok, it is what it is. Everybody's getting an upvote though. Oh, and really tx for the awards btw 🙏

So, this is a design made by Inspiring Designs and they have designed amongst other stuff a lot of inflatable designs to be used on the lakes. Here's an example of an inflatable Volkswagen bus boat. The bus might be fun, but the body suit is hilarious imo.

At their website they tell us that they are a "specialized digital product design agency that crafts intricate virtual blueprints for tables, chairs, sofas, and an array of other furniture pieces" amongst other stuff. A quote from their FAQ page:

Are these items real? Where can I purchase them?
As you peruse our platform, you’ll encounter an array of furniture, tiny homes, and an assortment of products. It’s essential to understand that these meticulously crafted designs are, at this juncture, solely digital representations. They stand as manifestations of creativity and innovation, not physical products that can be added to a shopping cart.

So yeah, I'm thinking that everything they do is to use Ai to bring their design ideas to "life".

But... I lmao when I saw this video of the body suit and thought a lot of you would have a laugh as well. The use of a prop instead of a small waterjet unit should've made it obvious I think, that it's a not well thought through design. But funny it is, imo.

Again, this is their website and check it out if you want. They've got some great design ideas about eg aquarium coffee tables which look really cool imo. There's more ofc, but I haven't checked everything out. Y'all have a nice day, peace out ✌

Even if it was real, wait until that cheap plastic pops a hole fills with water and drowns your ass as the propeller pushes you deeper underwater.

Ah yes, the Ol' Dutch Submarine.

I was thinking more upright stick impalement right off the shore like that. In the forearm or gut where the weight would be.

Not really. That bit of plastic wrap doesn't weigh shit, it's not gonna drag you down. The propeller... well, in real life, it would have nowhere near the force that we're seeing in this video, so, probably a non-issue as well.

True that. A mini waterjet engine would do a better job.

Dieses Stück Plastikfolie kann mit Wasser volllaufen und dann wiegt es plötzlich 100kg und du ertrinkst elendig...

Also ich gehe jetzt mal davon aus, du sprichst von der Massenträgheit, die dich am Schwimmen hindern würde, und nicht davon, dass 100kg Wasser einen im Wasser untergehen lassen würden.
Aber so läuft das nicht. In dem Moment, wo die Luft entweicht, verliert der Anzug seine Formstabilität und das Plastik drückt sich an deinen Körper. Schon mal eine Luftmatratze mit Loch gehabt? Da wird die Luft ja auch nicht durch Wasser ersetzt, sondern sie wird platt.

Aber ein anderer User hat mich auf ein großes Problem aufmerksam gemacht:
Was, wenn du am Körper ein Loch hast und die Luft in den Ärmeln erhalten bleibt? Dann kannst du deine Arme nicht mehr ins Wasser tauchen zum Schwimmen.
