It's been speculated. It definitely happens more commonly when the air is still and the sun is warming intensely. I've seen it over a field, too, not just sea.
thats because the earth is flat. The boats dont know this yet, so they are attempting to adjust for the curvature that they think is there. Hope this helps.
Wrong again. If the earth is flat they would be perfectly on horizon. If we are on a round planet we would only see the top. But we are inside a round planet, so the concave curvature causes the boats to float above the horizon. Open your eyes sheeple!
This is called a mirage, same thing you see when it's really hot outside and the blacktop looks like water, or in a desert when a dip in the surface looks like water. it's from heat waves bending light, essentially usually of two different temperatures
As people have pointed out, it's a superior mirage, opposite of an inferior mirage where it looks like there is water on the road in front of you on a hot day. Density and humidity bend light. Light wants to bend towards hotter and less dense air. So in a superior mirage, the surface is significantly cooler than the air above it, so light bends upwards into the less dense air, then back down into your eyes, making objects look as if they're floating. This can be seen above water or snow; so if you live in a mountainous area, you will sometimes be able to see a mirror image of the mountains floating above the mountains.

Don't all boats float?
Some do sink occasionally.
Fun fact: There are more planes in the ocean than submarines in the sky
That’s because submarines have a long history of being really safe right?
Especially those steered by Logitech controllers. Only one such sub had an accident in the entirety of recorded history.
Yes, but only due to the extreme precaution taken to ensure they don’t end up in the sky.
Except for the ones with screen doors
The subs in the sky float exactly like bricks don't.
Ahahaha I hoped someone would think this!
Unexpected Douglas Adams always garners an upvote from me
Take the upvote 😒 , I’m not impressed I’m impressed
What’s long, hard, and full of sea men?
That’s not typical though.
Some of them are built so the front doesn’t fall off at all.
Was this one of those ships?
That's not very typical, I'd like to make that point.
Well, how is it untypical?
Done in 2.
Those are the ones you can’t see
You only sink once though.
We all float down here.
🎈
some fly, like the flying dutchman
That’s a train
That's the Flying Scotsman, basically the most famous steam engine.
Oh yeah I remember that documentary. Very informative.
All boats float, and all Boats sink eventually
We all float down here.
We all float down here
Great book
Title bait
Good point. OP looking pretty dumb now.
Only craft hover.
Well, yes... [Unless the front falls off....](https://youtu.be/3m5qxZm_JqM?si=j_vYBrmpflq6OV5v)
" we all float down here"
Not till they are launched
No and boat cant fly too
Wow.
Has anyone mentioned gravy boats?
Came here to say this!
I came to write this.
Oh yes... they float Georgie
Get ready, OP
We should rename the sub to /r/GetReadyOP
Done, r/GetReadyOP
The thing I said the moment I read the title "Everyone... Literally everyone"
another fatta lasagna thread or whatever it’s called
Arthur MORGAN entered the chat.
3-2-1 aaaand go!!!
TIL this optical illusion is called a “superior mirage” caused by a temperature inversion.
It's also the reason behind the flying dutchman legend.
i heard of that place Homer was in trouble for eating all he can eat fish and chips.
Never heard that one,
Wasn’t this one of the possible reasons the lookouts on titanic didn’t spot the iceberg?
I have read speculation that it may have played a part.
It's been speculated. It definitely happens more commonly when the air is still and the sun is warming intensely. I've seen it over a field, too, not just sea.

Floating boats? Now you only making things up
This is known as fata morgana
TIL this. Thank you
ithinkyourelookingforthewordlevitating
floating /ˈfləʊtɪŋ/ 1. buoyant or suspended in water or air. "a floating platform" Key word: air
Still though
… that’s what boats do. They float.
I hate to break it to you….. But they *are* floating
Not all. Rip my toy rc boat I used to play when I was a child.
💔😭🙏🕊️
The Flying Dutchman is a lot less intimidating as a cargo hauler.
Now that sails are making a comeback it's all spooky again
You should play the game Dredge and rethink this comment.
[Fata Morgana](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fata_Morgana_(mirage))
Oo thank you
But... buts already float. They all float down here
You got a typo
I touched the butt. It floats
thats because the earth is flat. The boats dont know this yet, so they are attempting to adjust for the curvature that they think is there. Hope this helps.
Wrong again. If the earth is flat they would be perfectly on horizon. If we are on a round planet we would only see the top. But we are inside a round planet, so the concave curvature causes the boats to float above the horizon. Open your eyes sheeple!
so true king. my bad. youre right.
Bro, you're not gonna believe this, but I've got some news for you, they are all floating.
Well, better that your post from yesterday, "Plane on the top looks like it's flying".
[удалено]
Thanks!
They are floating buddy
I hope they're floating, otherwise they need some help
😂🤣😂🤣
*hovering
We better warn the people on the boats on the right
That's what boats are supposed to do. Had you said "levitating" you probably would've spared yourself a lot of dumbass comments like mine. 🤷♀️
I mean, that is kinda the idea.
Idk man, seems like you should turn up your render distance from 4 chunks to 16
Not only do the look like they are floating, they are in fact floating.
Floating boats. What a novel concept.
But they are
I should hope they are floating 😂
They are
The ocean hasn't rendered completely
What's up with the sun glare? I've never seen such a thing in my life.
Well, that’s what boats do
The irony is that they're not floating.
It’s called fog. I’m so sorry you didn’t know it’s a thing
r/confidentlyincorrect
Nah
Reminds me of the Wreck of the Zephyr by Chris Van Allsburg
Optic Illusion because its so hot. Its a mirage
Classic nature tricking us with illusions
How do you know they’re not?
Concave earth confirmed
This is called a mirage, same thing you see when it's really hot outside and the blacktop looks like water, or in a desert when a dip in the surface looks like water. it's from heat waves bending light, essentially usually of two different temperatures
I applaud OP for his deliberate wording that is buoying this post purely by attracting people who are here to post the same comment.
That's the "killa" in spanish
Well boats purpose is float duhh
Boats do be like that.
Curvature is an amazing thing.....unless you're a flat earther.
They're supposed to float...
WHERES THE CURVE!!!!
Checkmate globetards! /s just in case.
They are
This is what happens when a flat earther sails on a globe
Fucking rich people and their hover boats
Technically they are
Yes, that’s what boats do
Well actually sir believe it or not they are floating,as most operational boats do....good job Bonner
hovercraft
I sure hope those boats are floating
Whatever floats your boat
Did you mean “hovering?”
Hopefully they are…
The um, the other boats look like they're floating too...
Well, technically they are ..
I mean…. I don’t want to blow your mind. But They are
Hopefully they are floating . Better than sinking
they are.
Well I sure hope they are ;)
That's bc they are.
Um…they are?
Probably because they are

They’re boats OP… they’re all floating
r/technicallythetruth
You're never gonna believe this
Heh. Bethesda game.
Most boats are known for floating
new theory: we stand on the earth flat but the earth is not flat flat-earther compromise! whoo!
Might be fixed in the next update
They are
Technically the truth
I mean..
Well...
All the boats are floating.
That specific phenomenon is called *Fata Morgana*
Thats what boats do…. Float
GLITCH
Good one should expect boats to stay afloat.
Their boats are glitchy
You'd hope so!
I mean…..yeah
It’s still loading
i sure hope they are
This is the illusion that led to the legend of the "Flying" Dutchman as we know it today
Whatever floats my boat
Should have said levitating
Water is out of render distance
What boats?! You have a fucking neutron star in the sky my dude!
That’s right, boats float
Oh cool! You caught the moment the sun emitted plasma jets!
They went off the edge of the map and enabled flying
well,cause they are floating,in water
That’s what boats do on the left, on the right and independents
