In case you’re wondering what waterboarding feels like, check out this description by a member of the Straight Dope boards. The Straight Dope is a weekly column where readers ask questions about various things, usually about conventional wisdom, and the author Cecil Adams researches and writes columns giving us “The Straight Dope”. The message board is a pretty active community of people arguing about the truth of different things, so it’s not surprising that this would come from there.
Anyway, this guy says he tried it on himself so he could speak on it authoritatively, using his weight bench and a watering can.
Spoiler: Yes Virginia, it is torture.
