AKA the Flying Enema!

It does drastically improves squirrel observation vs a traditional hot air ballon, though.

If you got really hot steam in there, there'd be at least some lifting force as H2O only weighs ~18 amu whereas N2 weighs ~ 28 amu and O2 weighs ~ 32 amu. But it would work better on Venus with its mostly CO2 (~44 amu) atmosphere

Hot water balloon. Hot earth balloon. Hot fire balloon. Hot air balloon. Long ago, the four hot balloons lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the hot fire balloon caught on fire. I don't know what we were all expecting to be honest. That's what it does.

Hot balloons in your area want to meet you!

Just needs to be hotter. futurism.com/the-byte/lau...

Plus, hot air balloon rides aren't that romantic if you're 2 out of a dozen or so people in the basket, while you're panicking about dropping your phone as you take all those shots from up there!

that'd be an even worse balloon! you're fired!

On the plus side the crowds at the Albuquerque hot water ballon fiesta aren’t near as bad and you have a comfy place to lie down after too many funnel cakes.

But it's fun bouncing all over the water bed! I mean, balloon!

This could've been a spongebob episode!

only if you do it wrong

Then the water is not hot enough.

You use them to float in the ocean. Duh.

How hot would it need to be to function the same

With a diving suit and suitable burners you could attempt the first transatlantic subaquatic hot water balloon flight. You'd need people to keep resupplying your oxygen tanks or old style diving suits a long oxygen pipe and a boat with an air pump.

now I'm curiouse: would that be a biable methode of boyancy controll under water?

Well you're supposed to be riding it in cold water.

Not saying I'm speaking from an actual 70's experience, but never have more than six people on a waterbed; eight is too many. There's a "wave effect" that keeps escalating, and it's embarrassing when you and a young lady get flipped off the side of the bed.

There's a love scene on top of a blimp in Map of the Human Heart which I recall was quite good

New technology or boiling water

Don't they jump on those things in the desert? I'm pretty sure I saw some troops bouncing around on one of those things during Desert Storm. Actually looked like fun.

Initially being tested as a hot ice balloon, but was swiftly determined unfeasible

Exactly what I was thinking 😁

True... 😈

The earth balloon was just as bad, but it still doesn't compre to...

that sounds like an attitude problem to me

Doesn’t have to be unsatisfying. (Hint: you’re on a waterbed😁)

At a less classy establishment, sure.

Holy shit, that's the same waterbed my ex-wife and I had. There was a flip up cubby in the middle under the mirror 🪞 And ours still had the pads on the edges. We romanced so hard we got two kids out of the deal! 😂🤣

We are all the person on the right with the front row seat to all the action 👀

Came to say this. You get bonus points for drawing it though

I would hope that's what he meant to begin with, just waiting for us to fill in the blanks?

I was present for the death of the specialty cow balloon in the 90’s at the Honda hot air balloon rally Grand Prix
