Of course I wasn't about to let this one pass me by. It doesn't make the most interesting GIF, so I went without one this time.

Well, there's also the part where gaining several kilometers in altitude will kill you. You would want to ascending if you're getting cold or lightheaded. The usual !floatingisfun@fedia.io floating types wouldn't be capable of reaching those altitudes unprepared. Randall's interpretation is an eternal involuntary rise whether you're alive or not. His what-ifs usually end in disaster, after all.

Cute!

Himiko Toga (blonde) and Ochaco Uraraka (brunette), both from My Hero Academia. Actual canon ship, too. In short, Toga is a villain, and Uraraka is a hero who tries to see the good in everyone, and tries to "turn" Toga. Toga, who became a villain partly because she was shunned as a child for "looking crazy," asks Uraraka if her smile could be pretty, and Uraraka tells her she has the most beautiful smile in the world (while to us it's downright terrifying). That's what's happening during this scene. It's either in the seventh or eighth/final season of the anime, I forget which.

It's Oji Town's 100th anniversary, so have another GIF from the same video.

Or is it the magic of television? #illusion

This looks so cool 🤩

I have no idea why this reminds me of bad piggies

Should be able to glide though once the motor gives it a good enough push! I realize I may be stretching the sense of floating a bit, but I thought it'd be relevant to people's interests here. 🙂️

Eh, that's not really floating though. That biplane can't get up into the air without a motor.

I slowed down posting here because I don't want to distract from real world events. The orange dust cloud that runs my country decided bullying South America is good for business, and it looks like Colombia is his next target. I just wish we'd all stop being jerks to other countries and learn about the cool things they do there. Please stand up against fascism.

Is this already lost media? This was originally a Facebook story, and that's deleted now. I uploaded the video I used to Catbox. It's corrupted and maybe unplayable, but Ezgif was able to pull frames from it.

I know, four months ago, I posted a video of someone else discovering neutral buoyancy.. We love to see it. Floating balloons are great toys, though I usually balance them with something less pointy, like sticky notes.

First thing that came to mind:

while looking for that again though, I also found this:

Yeah, the early giant balloons were built different. Here's some getting released into the sky.

This looks so surreal, like it was taken by an electron microscope. Super cool!

Damn that's cool! Thanks again for sharing.

Yellow and orange.

Thank you for the explanation. That's sad for it's fate. It was beautiful wonder what it looked like in color?

1941. The 1941 parade was this goldfish balloon's only appearance. After this, the US entered World War II and this balloon was among the 650 pounds of rubber Goodyear donated to the military.

What year was this?

Not AI. Nice photo 👌

We need more double-barrered brooms. They're just more practical.

This was intentional? 😳

Very good work on not hitting her head!

He's having a rough day of it 🥹
