HELIUM HEADS OF THE WORLD REJOICE!.....................

[who_would_fardels_bear]

I hope they don't waste all that nice Helium on advancing science and human knowledge in general.

It would be a better use to put in party balloons to give children a temporary bit of joy.

Even better if they pass a law that helium can only be put in mylar balloons so that we can test our nation's electrical grid.

[Jamestown1630]

It seems a few years ago there were great fears of a shortage.

[V_TWIN]

Just don’t use it to float a dirigible 😏

[butlerweave]

Didn’t Hillary , Obama or Biden selloff all the Helium stockpile to China or someplace ?

[MTsumi]

Fears were overinflated.

Uranium...................

Oh, the huge manatee!........................

[Leaning Right]

Sheldon and Leonard are pleased by this news. Now there's no need for them to buy helium on the black market.

[Deaf Smith]

Why not for a dirigible?

What if someone gave them HYDROGEN instead???????.....................

[Orosius]

That was hydrogen gas. Helium’s not flammable but the Germans couldn’t get any so they had to substitute hydrogen which blew up the Hindenburg.

[adorno]

So, there won’t be a crisis involving the shortage of helium to fill birthday party balloons?

[waterhill]

Put the government in charge of it,...

Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is saved!....................

[hanamizu]

EPA (or some other federal agency shutting down the helium wells in five, four, three...

[alstewartfan]

The entire helium field will be sold to China, Biden announced.

[rktman]

They were DRILLING?! Oh noes....... Someone put a stop to that before molten magma starts spewing out.

[V_TWIN]

My bad I was thinking of hydrogen 🫣
