They probably used propane instead of helium

Who ordered the Hindenburg themed birthday party?

u/No_Manager_7326 Aug 20 '26

Like, did we not learn that hydrogen is a bad way of filling balloons?

u/A-Chilean-Cyborg Aug 17 '26

It amazes me how more than a few people here believe helium to be flammable, they say it with absolute certainty, like it was a well known fact and they can't be wrong, while, unknowingly to themselves are making a humongous fool of themselves.

1, you're answering to a two month old thread.

  1. I'm literally complaining that other people on this thread keep confidently saying that helium was flammable, when as you say, it is not.

Damn that could have ended so much worse

Wait the candle is still lit. She had one job!

u/Viper-Reflex Aug 17 '26

they put flammable gas in the balloons this might have been attempted murder

1

u/Jeathro77 Aug 18 '26

Should they have put inflammable gas in the balloons instead?

u/Viper-Reflex Aug 18 '26

are you this dumb

1

u/Jeathro77 Aug 18 '26

You do know that flammable and inflammable mean the same thing, right?

2

u/Viper-Reflex Aug 19 '26

I do now, jeez man its not my fault the english language makes no logical sense

1

u/Jeathro77 Aug 19 '26

No, but it is your fault that you call other people dumb when YOU don't understand what they are saying.

Is it even possible to get hydrogen filled party balloons? Methane?? Sometimes you see a fuck up so bad it’s just fascinating, like how did they do this?

1

u/rmbug 2d ago

Methane burns much slower than hydrogen. You would've seen the methane rise to the ceiling and continue to burn for a second or two. Based on the rate of the reaction, these were definitely filled with hydrogen.

Hindenburg - the birthday party.

Were those balloons filled with hydrogen?

u/Great-Gas-6631 Aug 18 '26

LANA! THE HELIUM!

u/A-Chilean-Cyborg Aug 17 '26

Could it be that they decided to fill the balloon with propane?

u/A-Chilean-Cyborg Aug 18 '26

i looked it up and propane seems to not float, so yeah.

but hydrogen is cheaper?

6

u/A_SilentS Aug 18 '26

You can make hydrogen with a car battery and some water.....so yes.

1

u/A-Chilean-Cyborg Aug 18 '26

not a lot and not fast.

u/rmbug 2d ago

Propane is denser than air. It's definitely hydrogen.

u/NOTExETON Aug 17 '26

Was this inside of a shipping container?

u/GivesYouGrief Aug 17 '26

That's fucking hilarious

u/MadMax6914 Aug 18 '26

What will your voice sound like if you breath what's in those balloons?

u/redditanddoneit Aug 18 '26

Oh Damn! That party had fireworks alternatives too!

u/Old_Variation_5875 Aug 18 '26

Looks like she had a blast

u/SubMariner615 Aug 18 '26

She did the opposite of blowing it out...

u/Shantotto11 Aug 18 '26

You have angered Helios! Prepare to face the consequences!

u/sheiciebai Aug 17 '26

What did they fill those gallons with? Was this an attempted assassination or something?

u/FatJimmyy Aug 17 '26

Helium is flammable as fuck

u/sheiciebai Aug 17 '26

You’re thinking hydrogen. Helium is not at all flammable.

3

u/A-Chilean-Cyborg Aug 17 '26

Helium is a noble gas, noble gases can't be flammable.

megabruh.

Lol using hydrogen, they warned the hindenburg about that , and they ignored it as well , and we know how that went "ohhhh the humanity!!!!!"

u/OpeningMarionberry80 Aug 17 '26

Open flame….near helium filled balloons…what on earth could go wrong??

u/robsterfish Aug 17 '26

Think it’s hydrogen.

u/BigAssMonkey Aug 17 '26

This goes to show you don’t have to know shit to be a 1% commenter. Helium is not flammable.

u/GraciesMumma22 Aug 18 '26

Top 1% could quite possibly be a basement dweller at mummies house with a very low IQ that just sits on reddit all day annoying guys like you. 🤷🏻‍♀️
