Here we go again. Alice in Wonderland's rabbit hole? That's not flying; that's falling with style! I think it's stylish enough to belong here.

About that thumbnail, don't worry. This video is from seven years ago. @goodyearblimp is still around. The Zeppelin NTs they use now are just technically not blimps. I just took this video last year.

Privacy-focused people of Mbin and Lemmy, do any of the third-party YouTube viewers support spherical video? Someday I want to live stream in spherical video, but only if people can actually watch it on their own terms.

I apologize for directly linking to Birdsite's media server here, but this artist's profile requests for her work not to be reposted. My backup idea encountered a similar request, too. I'm still not sure linking to the art on another site follows artists' wishes not to be reposted. What do you think?

@e-five I tried uploading this 35 second loop to Fedia as a 5.7MB webm video before I uploaded this 5.7MB bitcrushed gif instead. It seems Mbin throws 500 Server Errors whenever it receives a webm upload. That's too bad. The webm looks a lot better, and this post actually links to the webm version on Catbox. I think that's how this post worked, too.

I originally credited this as "Ambient Swim: Neo Mega Ultra Z-Star by Stim Studio" and thought I did enough research. Then, I dug deeper and found the actual artist, Alexandre Blain. There's more to him than just this commission for Adult Swim. It turns out he does a lot of cool stuff with witches! Oh, you'll definitely see more of him here soon.

This is a Floating Is Fun first: we have our first repost! This is the all-time top post on the old subreddit but it didn't do well on Fedia. I'm glad this is getting a second look; it's really good! This doesn't break rule #3 either because it's been over 180 days since we've last seen this.

It actually really helps that you've uploaded a webp version here. As you posted this, I was busy re-encoding this Ambient Swim video clip to webp to see if webp files work as both animated and non-animated images. I'll post it as soon as it's done.

I tried uploading the 5.7MB webm to Fedia, but it Mbin throws 500 Server Errors when I upload a webm of any type. I ended up uploading a 5.7MB bitcrushed gif, and linking to that 5.7MB webm on Catbox. I hope the Fediverse gets proper webm support soon.

I figured out Lemmy/Kbin/Mbin crossposting. Just post the same URL as another post and they become crossposts of each other. Huzzah! I was watching the sea lions at the zoo today playing around underwater and I think they're my new favorite animal.

This is Floating Is Fun's 600th post, but I'm conflicted here. The artist's Twitter profile says "Please don't repost." and I respect those wishes, but this isn't art isn't on that Twitter. I didn't reupload the image to Fedia, but this post is actually a link to pixiv.cat, a proxy service that I regularly use to download full size pixiv images. Clicking the thumbnail will take you to pixiv.cat. But the way Mbin and Lemmy work, they go download a thumbnail from the URL I link, and that means... every instance reposts the image anyway. I'm not sure this acts according to artists' wishes not to be reposted.
