minus-squareNeatolinkfedilinkEnglish20•8 months agoUnfortunately the amount of helium made in fusion is so small as to be useless for anything humans need. Fusion is just that efficient.
minus-squareNeatolinkfedilinkEnglish3•8 months agoWe actually get all of our helium from mining, trapped gas. And we’re running out of the easy to reach stuff. So yes, no more chipmunk voices. But they’re similar gasses that can do the same thing and even ones that make your voice deeper.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•8 months agoYes! I’ve heard. I would love to try some of that.

So no chipmunk voices? 😢
Only for chipmunks for now.
