minus-squareNeato@ttrpg.networklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up20·2 years 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-squaregregorum@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up13arrow-down1·2 years agoOnly for chipmunks for now.
minus-squareNeato@ttrpg.networklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·2 years 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-squaredohpaz42@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 years agoYes! I’ve heard. I would love to try some of that.
