    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.

        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?
