This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

But also the technology to make rigid airships relatively safe has existed for decades and there's no reason we can't go back to them now except bad PR.
They would still have to contain hydrogen though. Making them rigid doesn't decrease fire risk.
They have bad PR for a reason. It's not prejudice it's practicality.
They can be made with helium
In theory, but not in reality. It's just far too expensive.
That hasn't stopped billionaires from building spaceships or submarines. All I'm saying is that we would absolutely see some weird eccentric billionaires building and riding in zeppelins if it weren't for the bad PR of the Hindenburg.
There are, but nobody really cares to report on it.
