dumb thing that's gonna blow up anyway killing loads of peepos.

You're thinking of hydrogen. Helium isn't flammable.

I agree that it's a dumb thing, though.

Helium isn't flammable at all. It's a noble gas, which are notorious for their lack of reactivity.

But I agree, it's a dumb thing.

Aren't we going through a helium shortage?

Also, to get helium, you get it from natural gas. Seems like a bad choice when you're trying to move away from fossil fuels.

Oops, gonna edit that

noble gas, which are notorious for their lack of reactivity.

Just like human nobles/rich and/or powerful people in general 😉

Helium or Hydrogen it’s all CHEMICALS huh?!? I don’t want anything to do with CHEMICALS. You’ll never find any of that shit in MY body!!!

Besides! What’s the sound that either gas would make rushing out of a hole in the side of that thing?

I can’t tell if your being sarcastic or just a moron…

You do realize that chemicals make up everything you put in your body… right?

[-] dylanTheDeveloper@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Don't worry, they were being as sarcastic as a sane young person claiming they're excited for the next presidential election cycle 😉
