What could go wrong?
I mean other than that...
Oh the huge manatee!
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 a kid, Dave Berry had a column where he made fun of the US Strategic Helium Reserve. This taught me an important lesson: when people make fun of what seems like government waste, 75% of the time it turns out to be really important. Not always, but you should look into it more.

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.
Perspective my dude. An insignificant small amount is spent on vanity.
I've used more helium on a single dive than I've ever used in balloons in my entire life.
At least you spent yours on something scientific in nature.
At a stretch perhaps, but it's more recreational - I liken it to going to visit a castle, or going on a safari.....just underwater!
Would make for more exciting birthday parties.
Seems more like a gender reveal party sort of thing.

Am I missing a joke? Airships used hydrogen gas
Specific airships made by a specific country that had no access to helium...
