British PathΓ©'s newsreel archives show us more old-timey balloon fun! This newsreel leaves out that the day's experiments ended when Sgt. Ernest Arthur Dobbs got entangled in power lines, becoming the first ever balloon jumping fatality. There are ways to make balloon jumping safe, as Parabounce tried to do earlier this century, but it still hasn't caught on. If I was harnessed into a balloon like this, I'd never want to take it off.

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.


On our home instance fedia.io, we have custom CSS with banner images by neko and by ke-ta
