a GIF of inventor Colin Furze testing a large see-saw-like machine outside his workshop; he's harnessed in by the waist, and when he jumps, he slowly drifts up and back down, able to do flips, handstands, and cool poses

Not a community I expected to exist! Interesting.

    Welcome to Floating Is Fun! I'm happy you found us! I knew I can't be the only one easily distracted by floaty things. I couldn't find a community for this anywhere, so I created one.

    Our posts tend to have a lot of 2D art from pixiv because they categorize well and the art community is good about giving their creators credit. For real, though, I'd like to have more real life examples of floatiness like this, but real life floating isn't common and tracking down the origin of such a video is difficult.

    Also, Lemmy likes GIFs a lot more than embedded YouTube videos. I carefully convert these using Ezgif and write my own alt text. The extra effort isn't for everyone, but it's worth it.
