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.

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

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

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 2 years 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.

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

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

[-] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 2 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Dubious_Fart@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

No, there's not enough in the atmosphere

[-] Ducks@ducks.dev 2 points 2 years ago

Just release them far away from any power lines
