It is probably a move homage to your favorite TV series from back in your youth. 1 Quote

It was even used by Napoleon in his coalition wars Quote
Leader RedBaird Posted May 30, 2019 Leader Posted May 30, 2019 I finally looked up the word = "Oobleck and other pressure-dependent substances (such as Silly Putty and quicksand) are not liquids such as water or oil. They are known as non-Newtonian fluids. This substance's funny name comes from a Dr. Seuss book called Bartholomew and the Oobleck.May 2, 2011 " Yes, a mixture of corn-starch and water would be like that. Now I have to look up "oblique oobleck"! Come to think of it, squeezing that oobleck would seem to imitate an oblique maneuver! 1 Quote
Senior Member Vindstot Posted May 30, 2019 Senior Member Posted May 30, 2019 I havent had this in my hand yet, would be interesting If you put pressure on it, squeeze it, hit it, etc, it gets hard like it was a solid. If you let it be, it gets liquid and just flows downwards. Oh and now it suddenly sounds like a metaphor for something 1 Quote
