No, it’s just a water-walking horse.

A Balloon Supported Water Walking Horse…BSWWH for short. Pronounced bsh!

The two Jesuses in the background don’t have balloons!
Dasus@lemmy.world 5 days ago
They’re on a carriage that’s like pontooned at the bottom, being pulled by the horse and driver who each have their own balloons.
MeekerThanBeaker@lemmy.world 5 days ago
Back right?
I see two in the back left and two more in the back middle without balloons. The two in the back right are the carriage passengers.

Forget the balloons. I want that water treadmill bike!

When you have the chance to ride a water horse? Forget it.

I’m pretty sure they actually exist

I’ve seen bicycle paddle boats; where can I find a unicycle paddle boat?

I love that the balloons are far too small. Like they didn’t understand the elements and buoyancy well enough to know the balloons have to be much larger. Not like we have negative mass particles.
wizzor@sopuli.xyz 6 days ago
Obviously they were assuming balloons were filled with supervacuum. We have had 100 years and not invented even that.
Truly we have failed our ancestors.
MNByChoice@midwest.social 5 days ago
Super vacuum! That will do it.
sroos@lemm.ee 6 days ago
Well, I guess they figured it’d take another 100 years to calculate that correctly, so they just winged it for the picture.
Noobnarski@lemmy.world 5 days ago
I’m pretty sure scientists back then could have told you that these balloons are too small. The person(s) who drew that picture most likely wasn’t a scientist, which is why it looks how it looks.
MeekerThanBeaker@lemmy.world 5 days ago
Maybe they thought we’d have discovered/created new elements by now that could do this.

I want to see how that cane works.

Superheated hydrogen in a monomolecular unbreakable balloon.
AdrianTheFrog@lemmy.world 5 days ago
The theoretical best lift from a balloon that size is about 1 kg I would estimate

What measure of scientic accuracy do you expect from a chocolate wrapper?
MNByChoice@midwest.social 5 days ago
I did not know this was on a candy wrapper…
That does make it better.
SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee 5 days ago
I like the fact that a horse and boat thing has the same size balloon as a person.
Akasazh@feddit.nl 5 days ago
That it they were positive the future would, uhm, find a way.
Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 5 days ago
Not sure how they are walking and not just splashing in place.
Maalus@lemmy.world 5 days ago
And you don’t have an issue with the carriage, with three people on it, where the only balloon is on the horse?
Whoever made this was an artist and sucked at physics
Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 5 days ago
The carriage could be on a barge and is just being pulled by the horse. How is the horse getting traction? And why is that man using a cane on water! The small balloons could just be artistic license for the drawing.
explodicle@sh.itjust.works 5 days ago
If we had spent the time working on the real problems, this would have already been solved.
angrystego@lemmy.world 5 days ago
I’d be ok with splashing. I want this!
doingthestuff@lemy.lol 5 days ago
Somehow that weird paddle cycle is bouyant without a balloon.

I’m glad we got ubiquitous smartphones instead of only rich people having flying cars.
Still, I’m promoting way, way more punk in our cyberpunk.
Sauerkraut@discuss.tchncs.de 4 days ago
The rich do have flying cars. They just call them private jets. The rich own mansions (huge houses) all over the world, private islands, mega yachts that contain smaller yachts, their own submarines, and now they even have their own rocket ships
uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 days ago
Yeah, but the police don’t hover over us in Spinners as in Bladerunner. They still have to chopper from helipad to airport and ride off in air traffic, so less in our faces.
Their superfluous greenhouse emissions fit the cyberpunk vibe though.

Literally just build a bridge, you hyper-individualistic consumer-centric assholes.
Tungsten5@lemm.ee 4 days ago
I think the idea here is people want to go out and enjoy the day. Not just walk across a bridge. Next time think before you comment. You sound rarted as fuck
Bosht@lemmy.world 4 days ago
rarted? If you’re going to insult someone at least spell check yourself, lmfao.

They just thought they’d do everything they did back then, but with balloons. They could already walk on water back then.

Funny that you say that, they actually sold “Scho-Ka-Kola” (Cho-Ca-Cola) from 1935, which was chocolate with coffein.
YoiksAndAway@lemmy.zip 6 days ago
There are two people water-walking without balloons behind the two women on the left. Time travelers? Aliens? The JFK assassins? We deserve the truth!
nectar45@lemmy.zip 6 days ago
I actually went to that timeline! And its more complex than you think because well yes, there technology is far cooler and more whimsical, abd yes there world is more socialistic, has more free time, better prices and less of a late stage capitalism nightmare…
But you should just see how many racial slurs those people used just this morning and half of those women cant vote and have polio.
Also I am pretty sure left-handed people got hunted to extinction for some reason
Timeline hopping is a mixed bag
salvaria@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 days ago
I understand why you didn’t stay in that one, but why the hell would you come back to this timeline??
nectar45@lemmy.zip 6 days ago
Well I went to a timeline where Reddit managed to organize a nuclear attack against Russia and it backfired HARD, a timeline where we never moved on from the 90s which sounds awesome and it was but the uncriticized ultra-consumption of those times eventually laid waste to the world, a world where JK Rowling succeded at making TERFs the mainstream feminism wave, a timeline where X is the ONLY major website left in the world and its as awful as it sounds, a timeline where being a CIS man was illegal, a timeline where Musk is president, a timeline where sentient sex-robots and a timeline where the soviet union defeated the United States during the cold war so “President” Putin is the most powerful man in the world.
So yeah…I think there is a problem with my dimensional hopper, it only sends me to “dark” timelines

Or what an AI in the 2020s thought people in the 1900s would think life would be like in the year 2000

This one isn’t AI, I remember seeing this image on the internet 10 years ago.
stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 days ago
in that case people in the 1900s were very good at predicting what AI images would look like
baguettefish@discuss.tchncs.de 6 days ago
I doubt AI can replicate that German calligraphy
rational_lib@lemmy.world 5 days ago
Now I’m wondering why we don’t attach giant balloons to ships to reduce water resistance by cutting down how much of the ship needs to be underwater. Perhaps it’s because you would need more size for the balloon, and maybe the air resistance and water resistance needs to even out due to physical laws and such?
IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 5 days ago
The boat already floats. What is the point of making it lighter?
If it should fly then get a Zepplin
peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 6 days ago
I meam, we did get water skiing and stuff like that.
uservoid1@lemmy.world 6 days ago
So, they did predict the water rising.
JeSuisUnHombre@lemm.ee 6 days ago
We do have the technology for this… right?
dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 6 days ago
Absolutely, but the scale of the balloons is a bit off. Nobody would be walking shoulder to shoulder like this. For a normal-ish 170lb/77kg individual your personal balloon would have to be a little under 6.5 meters across assuming it were filled with helium.
Yes, I did the math.
surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 6 days ago
You did the basic math, with your spherical balloon. What about giant cylinders? Then you could really pack it in.
tyler@programming.dev 6 days ago
You could use hydrogen, which is less dense than helium. Then if it catches on fire like the Hindenburg you’d already be in the water.
Neverclear@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 days ago
Note that you wouldn’t need 77 kg worth of bouyancy from the balloon. The shoes would provide some lift, more if you made them out of some type of foam.
match@pawb.social 6 days ago
What if the balloon was rigid and filled with vacuum?
saltnotsugar@lemm.ee 6 days ago
We thank you balloon master!
Cruxifux@feddit.nl 6 days ago
Ok but hear me out
One really BIG balloon with rope systems you could hook on to so multiple people could walk around under the same balloon area.
afronaut@slrpnk.net 5 days ago
What if the balloons were long and vertical like the ones in Dune? That could allow them to walk closer to one another.
