please use hydrogen and not helium if you do this.

Helium is a precious, essential, non-renewable resource that the world is actually running out of.

[-] Roundcat@kbin.social 38 points 1 year ago

Now I'm just imagining them coming back down, combusting, and people thinking the war of Armageddon has begun.

[-] atocci@kbin.social 13 points 1 year ago

Is this why I can't just go to the party store and buy hydrogen filled balloons?

[-] Bene7rddso@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, you really don't want an unplanned indoors Hindenburg reenactment because someone got too close to the birthday cake. Also it's difficult to store

[-] peto@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

But easy to make.

St Peter checked them at the gates and all got sent back

"The fuck made you think Paul was so important?! The dude was one of the false prophets Jesus warned about, you morons!" -St. Peter, probably

Better yet, attach a small explosive to them so once they get enough attention and people think the rapture is coming they suddenly burst into flames and explode.

That way the Christians really won't know what to think.

"God works in mysterious, explosive ways."

That's something I find funny. The second most abundant element in the universe and we're running out of our supply.

[-] siewyuk@monyet.cc 11 points 1 year ago

It's not a laughing matter. The world used to be He He He He He He He but soon there'll be no more He He He.

Because we don't have spaceships to go out into the universe to collect it, so all we have is what has been trapped in deposits underground.

and a lot of it has been wasted on stupid shit like party balloons, and the overwhelming majority of the population does not understand how critically important helium is to manufacturing and medicine.

I don't know, but I feel like the party industry pales in comparison to industrial users. Do you have any reliable numbers?

@state_electrician @Dubious_Fart, the most abundant element in the universe, not renevable, is human stupidity

[-] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 year ago

You're right but the real advice is: just don't do this at all. These balloons pollute our oceans and forests.

[-] radioactiveradio@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Fuck the ocean, everything in there is scary and dangerous, we should nuke the sharks. Mostly /s

The height of "edgy" in the Eighties was a "Nuke a Gay Whale for Jesus" bumper sticker.

[-] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

we've already done that. mostly. no /s unfortunately

Don't cover the sex dolls in what amounts to thermite and you should be fine.

[-] PyroNeurosis@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Some cathing fire would probably help sell it: those poor sinners didn't get in!

[-] MechanicalJester@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Scarcity smarcity - do it so you can attach tiny timed fireworks to them, at the feet so they float upright and then EXPLODE at like 1000 feet

[-] Ducks@ducks.dev 2 points 1 year ago

Just release them far away from any power lines

[-] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 1 points 1 year ago

Eh? Can't we just pull it from the air?

[-] Dubious_Fart@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

No, its literally lighter than air. it floats out into space, and it is not in a dense enough concentration where its possible to reharvest anyway.

[-] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

No, there's not enough in the atmosphere
