The alternative is to use extremely limited quantities of gas crucial for MRIs, chip making, metallurgy, and a few other high tech applications. But hey, pretty balloons.
When I was in school decades ago, my science teacher brought in a big balloon filled with hydrogen and lit the string on fire without telling us that it was filled with hydrogen.
I could feel the explosion in my bones. It was neat.
We should go back to filling them with hydrogen.
What could go wrong?
I mean other than that…
Would make for more exciting birthday parties.
Seems more like a gender reveal party sort of thing.

(The store was just out of helium.)
Only a matter of time before they can’t get any because we wasted such a limited resource on vanity instead of the pursuit of science.
Am I missing a joke? Airships used hydrogen gas
Specific airships made by a specific country that had no access to helium…
wasn’t that just the flammable lining?

I’m not sure you could do that in schools today.
