I saw a phrase "[being stuck up there is] probably type 2 fun" [on a thread](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41322334) about [[Boeing Starliner Marooning|astronauts being stuck on the ISS]] and did some light research, deserves more research though. It seems to have roots or application moreso in [[Outdoor Adventure]]. ## Type 1 Fun Type 1 fun is true fun. While it's happening you're having a good time. ## Type 2 Fun Type 2 fun is not fun while it's happening but is fun in retrospect. ## Type 3 Fun Type 3 fun is not fun while it's happening or in retrospect. This seems like it was *expected* to be fun but wasn't and didn't seem so after either. # Sources - https://www.rei.com/blog/climb/fun-scale - https://www.washingtonpost.com/wellness/2022/03/24/what-is-type-2-fun/ - https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=type%202%20fun - https://outwardbound.org/blog/what-is-type-two-fun-and-why-is-it-good-for-you/
