Floating Is Fun
We're chasing that dream-like feeling of floating free in the air and playing around, be it real or fantasy. Any post type that conveys this feeling is welcome. Check the post flairs for examples.
What qualifies for Floating Is Fun is open to interpretation. I encourage everyone to post what they like to see. Give us a gentle push and we'll float pretty far.
We started on Reddit /r/FloatingIsFun in 2021 and moved here in 2023. All 400+ posts from the original from the original subreddit have been reposted here, so you're not missing anything.

We've had pedal-powered dirigibles before, but they were all out of reach for regular people. ParaBounce made a strong attempt to manufacture such airships and let people come and pay to fly them in a safe indoor space. This didn't really get off the ground, though it may have inspired the AΓ©roplume in France which is open to all today. Can we get dirigibles in the Olympics someday?
