    My science teacher had a balloon and he lit the string saying “check this out”

    The balloon was filled with hydrogen

    I don’t think that would be okay to do today

      We had a community science day when I was little where they did that. Hydrogen is pretty safe to ignite in a birthday balloon.

          It’s quite a pop!

          They exploded some other balloons too, iirc, but I don’t remember too well. I think I was 8.

            I wanna get some hydrogen…

            My partner would have a heart attack. They can’t even be around a gun shooting or firecrackers, much less that kinda boom! I wouldn’t do that to them.

              For me it was less intense than a gun or firework, maybe your balloon was bigger lol.

              You can get hydrogen by running electricity through water but I forget how it works.

      At least yours did that outside. Ours did it inside and burnt all the hairs off one arm
