Still doesn't explain why everything's being pulled downward in the first place though!

Looks like we've got a winner for this year's Darwin awards, and its only February

Indeed, but like any normal person, you know gravity exists, but in the Flerfer world, it doesn't, so buoyancy doesn't work like it does in the real world, so when you pose that question of why doesn't it go up to them, it really throws them as they cannot explain why it doesn't, unless they use gravity. After all, there is no buoyancy without gravity anyway.
