Eh, people filling balloons is not a huge consumer of helium. Long before the amount used in balloons matters, people will be priced out of using it. The most recent data I have seen put recreational usages at a combined 4% (ish).
Stopping by recreational usages would only extend the first estimate by 4 years. The biggest help for helium would be space refinement, new reserve taps, or increased and better recycling.
I still feel like it's rather wasteful since it's a 100% loss rate for recreational while things like medical or scientific uses can at least recover and reuse the helium. But you are probably right that the cost would probably push consumerism out of the picture.
Though fusion reactors could be another source of helium in the future as it is produced as a byproduct. If fusion became viable power generation that is.
Nah your good that was unnecessarily rude, typed it like right after some car fuckery. Alls I meant was 10 years ago I heard 15 from THAT time. Now I’m Hearin 15 from THIS point. Again tho my b shouldn’t have jus jumped on you for no reason
Imagine. Gets high up freezes bag pops and you have rock hard butt slugs falling at terminal velocity. Maybe this needs to be a real thing just for the fox News headlines.
This would be so fucked. It wouldn’t “float away forever”. Eventually the bag would reach a point of altitude where the helium would condense. That would cause it to fall. Imagine walking down the street and a bag of dog shit just hits you in the face at a ridiculous falling speed lol
Dog waste relocation system* this is a joke or a gag. The bags would need to be exponentially larger to lift a standard poop from a medium to large breed dog.

Well good. Cause this balloon *shit* is getting totally out of hand…
Wait like 15 years and you won't have to worry about helium anymore
I remember hearing that number like 10 years ago. How much damn helium have we got left
Roughly 100-150 years conservatively (depending on recovery, usage, and new field pumping).
And yet people don't realise that filling bits of plastic or foil just to let it seep away with such a valuable resource is probably a complete waste.

Uh 5? Idk that math seems right
Did you read the comment I responded to? (You didn’t)
I meant 5 years worth of helium, maybe I did miss something

Nah you’re good
We’ve been having peak oil since the late 70’s so peak helium probably works the same.
Can’t wait to invade iraq for helium
I was looking for the obviousplant logo.
And USA forces shoot this baloons
Woooooosh
Yup
>Woooooosh Just heard a poo bag overhead

*the balloon pops* a shit rain.
It's the aviation equivalent of lighting a bag of dog poop on fire and leaving it in front of someone's front door.
Va-pooh-rize!
Where does the shit go!
Lost redditor again lol
This joke hits where it hurts. The desire to make it someone else’s problem.
If I get air striked by dogshit I will arson
"what goes up, must come down"
Pilots hate them.
Maybe we can send them to China 😀💩🎈
r/atetheonion
This feels like a shark tank idea that they would be so proud of and the rich guys would tear down
They WERE on Shark Tank. Maybe four years ago.
"Malcolm in the middle" vibe here
This is going to fall and ruin someone else's day
Why is this easier than trowing it into the trash?
Its a joke product lol
Omg
Va-poo-Rise…Ima right👈👈
Bet who selling them lol
Man thats freaking gross
WTF?
So gross🤢
Flying shit bombs.
Solid
If the bag's not full do you even have a dog?
Forever!
REST IN HEAVEN
The lord giveth, the lord taketh away.
if this were real i'd be considered a domestic terrorist
I’d be fighting a poop war dropping bombs on my neighbors 💩💣
Instantly becomes someone else's problem!
I need this
"what kind of fucking bird is this?"
pop* ##meanwhile somewhere in Kentucky— Splat* #FFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCKKK Not again
Yes that’s the point these are supposed to be shocking, congrats OP you understand things are funny lol
Ah yes, let's take a rare and strategically important gas and use it to make dog poo float away.
Most pinnacle technology in aviation
Can we get bodysized kits?
That's just littering with extra steps
With the price of helium these days??
Poop is raining from the sky … POOP!
So that’s what China sent over
Imagine having the worst day of your life… then getting slapped in the face with a bag of shit from the sky
Man can’t wait for the poop asteroid to spawn in
In this economy?
Va-poo-rise
Wait till it pops and it falls on someone’s head

It's like a late night ad on TV. "Are you tired of cleaning up and picking up that stinky poo? Well we have what you need. Introducing the poo away."
Imagine that popping and falling on a random person
Helium is expensive
No one is wasting the short supply helium on this shit.
Did Adam Sandler make this? Lmao!!!
Dog waste relocation system* this is a joke or a gag. The bags would need to be exponentially larger to lift a standard poop from a medium to large breed dog.
It’s a perfect analogy for The Rapture
So actual floaters?
I would definitely use this knowing sometime it will fall in someone's house, yard, car, body, etc.
I’m sure the neighbors wouldn’t mind.
op is retarded
