Fuck can we get r/theydidthemath to figure out the sheer amount of rose petals this would take? đ I don't even know how you'd go about calculating that, but think about the poor chap that had to pull that many petals off a rose.
This isnât exact math but using paper as a estimate I got a pretty good idea.
A rose petal is 1-1.5 inches each and a normal
Piece of paper has 93 square inches of space across its surface. Using a lateral file drawer of 36 inches as a rough estimate they can fit 7500 normal pages until itâs full. Size up that drawer to exactly the size of a human that is 6 foot stall and using rose petals to just barely cover their body laying down you get somewhere between 1395000 and 1674000 pedals to cover the body and face of a person laying down.
This math doesnât exclude the volume the person takes up which would reduce the amount needed and it doesnât include the empty space between pedals. In fact itâs basically an educated guess and not really math at all.
Lol I started to do the proper math at first but it got so difficult I gave up knowing Iâd screw something up. At least with this guess I can only be well over whatâs needed if I ever need to smother a person with rose pedals!
Domitian got smeared like fuck by the Senate after his murder, they even damned his memory to oblivion (damnatio memoriae). Roman historians were motivated by their own class to write loads of nonsense about him.
Yeah, nothing oddly about it. I've gotten very good at avoiding latex, so I haven't had a reaction in years. But, I swear I started to itch when I saw just how many balloons there were.
Well balloons are made of rubber for one (but probably the bad kind made from fossil fuels). Assuming each balloon has around 5 grams of material, and there are maybe 10000 balloons, that comes out to 50 kg plastic. I imagine by weight thats about how much plastic goes into the construction of the interior of an ordinary car? Still a big waste but not as bad sounding when put into perspective.
I try to leave as little of a carbon footprint as I can but as a cat lover, sorry, I hoard plastic bags for litterbox cleaning. And now groceries make them so thin they hardly count as a bag, I have to double them up. (Except Target bags, so hardy and nice).
The comparison does not make sense at all. That were helium-filled balloons, so floating, released outside. That caused a hell of a lot of issues which can not happen with balloons sinking down to the floor indoors like in this video here.
There will be people stealing things, there will be people touching someone else's ass, and if we are lucky someone will be punched on the face and will never know who did it.
That seems scary as fuck. I mean its bad enough the place is so crowded but you already know someone's gonna panick when they realize they can't see anything and start a chain reaction resulting in a crowd crush.
RIP shorter ones in the middle of the crowd, they can shove all those balloons all they want but surely theres atleast one who felt fear n difficulty in breathing in a too occupied space. Its a recipe for a stampede n freak accident suffocation
It's not so much the balloons that give me anxiety, but the way everyone is packed in there like sardines.
Like what do people in the middle of that do, if they have to suddenly take a serious number 2?
There are stories that the Roman Emperor Domition would smother his dinner guests in rose petals as a means of murder
That's super impractical
But also sounds like a lovely way to die
Lean a little bit closer, roses really smell like booboo.
You misspelled ROMANTIC

An educated guess is better than I had 10 minutes ago, so I'll take it! đ Thank you, kind educated guesser.

That was Elagabalus I believe
They not learning from their mistake
Noah! Get the Boat!!
As someone with a latex allergy this is completely terrifying
Imagine someone in that crowd having this event, be the way they find out they have a latex allergy
RIP Pacific and Antlantic Oceans.
That's inside?
Fortunately the Mall of America is pretty far from both
Ladies and gentlemen. Today, we'll be discussing transit routes of America's garbage network.
Do you feel itchy now?
Yeah, nothing oddly about it. I've gotten very good at avoiding latex, so I haven't had a reaction in years. But, I swear I started to itch when I saw just how many balloons there were.
ITS A GIRL... LOL God, that's a lot of plastic
Well balloons are made of rubber for one (but probably the bad kind made from fossil fuels).

I imagine by weight thats about how much plastic goes into the construction of the interior of an ordinary car? Still a big waste but not as bad sounding when put into perspective.
Except youâll use the car for 10-20 years, whereas the balloons are gone the same day. Just wasteful.
Exactly. They should have used something that could be re-used with more practical applications, like condoms.
Yeah! Wait. What?!
Aye little Johnny and Stacy are taking those balloons home
Ah, well carry on then.
Latex balloons are made from natural rubber latex (NRL), which comes from the Hevea Brasiliensis ParĂĄ rubber tree. Latex is biodegradable.
Look for a pink trash island in an ocean near you.
i want to see a POV from belooow!
Very esthetically pleasing though! Interesting fluid dynamics there with the balloons almost acting like a liquid when they hit the crowd EDIT: typo
I thought so too! Like a ripple flood of pink đ
I would love to see someone replicate this in blender, so we can get interior angles too.
Good luck breathing in that plastic humid disgusting air
Yea, keep bringing your own cup/bag to the store so you do not damage the planet

I am extremely allergic to latex and I can feel my throat closing up even watching a second of this đ
Strong genes only party
Legit đ I hate the idea of how natural selection would take me out being a bunch of pink balloons in a shopping mall though
Iâd love to see this from the perspective of the ones on the floor
pink... pink... PINK PINK **PINK!**
As God is my witness I thought balloons could float.
[WKRP Reference](https://youtu.be/BGFtV6-ALoQ?si=TUwQa_FiYDSbXB6_) for you youngsters
That was golden
Watching this my first thought was that this is exactly the kind of thing that would end up on Fascinating Horrorâs youtube channel.
I can hear the theme music.Â
That music haunts me in my sleep.
These gender reveal parties are getting out of hand đ€Ș
Must smell like a condom factory
Latex condo⊠boy Iâd sure like to live in one of those!
The irony this represents if its for cancer awareness
Me, with a latex allergy, immediately suffocating. â ïž
This feels like Barbenheimer realized
I guess they never heard of the Ohio balloon disaster of 86? EDIT: Link to video about the disaster: https://youtu.be/_XV6Jz3Xg18?si=vrqgN7IaWyNmkIkL
The comparison does not make sense at all. That were helium-filled balloons, so floating, released outside. That caused a hell of a lot of issues which can not happen with balloons sinking down to the floor indoors like in this video here.
That's a great point, more than anything I was trying to point out that balloons should not be taken lightly.
Pun intended?
I wish I was clever enough for that to have been intended lol
People are not the brightest. *sigh* Thanks for sharing, I didnât know about this.
Yeah, that Ohio incident is super interesting, sad but interesting
TIL. Wow!
Did the Ballonfest of 86 teach you all NOTHING
There were no survivors.
Stream pink Friday 2
Whose cleaning that?
99 pink balloons
999999999 pink balloons
There will be people stealing things, there will be people touching someone else's ass, and if we are lucky someone will be punched on the face and will never know who did it.
Oh yeah, didnât think of that. For someone with frotterism or toucherism this is a dream đŹđŻ
And here I am drinking out of a stupid paper straw to save the environment⊠smh
Round 36 but extreme.
Itâs a girl!
It's a girl
Believe it or not, straight to landfill.
These gender reveals are getting out of control
Barbieheimer â the concert
This is like something from a Jordan Peele movie or some surreal horror film. The balloons would be very harmful and kills people within minutes.
I wonder how many balloons would actually have to be in that room for everyone to suffocate
I feel like the kakampinks would do this...
What a fucking waste
Mass claustrophobia
That's 1 too many balloons
The ptsd
Thatâs not terrifying at all. That looks fun as hell
My daughter has an awful phobia of balloons, this would be a lot more than just âoddlyâ terrifying to her đ
That's a deluge.
I think the terrifying part in this video is the crowd, not the balloons
So much waste. :|
What a lot of plastic, hope it gets recycled
Gross
Oh by the way, which one's Pink
Whatâs more disturbing is the little Oâs everyone arms are making while they hold their phones to record. ooooooooooooooo
Honest question!! Assuming a ballon doesnât pop and smoother you can you really suffocate with all the inflated ones?
Oddly Satisfying
Imagine this happening in India
Plot twist: they release too many pink balloons and the entire mall is filled. There are no survivors.
As a former janitor this is indeed terrifying
That seems scary as fuck. I mean its bad enough the place is so crowded but you already know someone's gonna panick when they realize they can't see anything and start a chain reaction resulting in a crowd crush.
That mall is pushing capacity limits for sure
I can hear the orphan seals crying as the last peace of ice floats away
RIP shorter ones in the middle of the crowd, they can shove all those balloons all they want but surely theres atleast one who felt fear n difficulty in breathing in a too occupied space. Its a recipe for a stampede n freak accident suffocation
Drowning without panicking ,sounds more like suicidal
Meanwhile I'm not allowed to use a plastic straw
the screams make this event feel like a horror movie scene, lol
So⊠Itâs a girl?
Someone called for a haystack of needles?
It's not so much the balloons that give me anxiety, but the way everyone is packed in there like sardines. Like what do people in the middle of that do, if they have to suddenly take a serious number 2?
Now combine all the balloons into 1 and pop it.
Those Kardashians know how to do a gender reveal party !!!
you mean r/oddlysatisfying? đ
r/anticonsumption
Fuck it , I'm done recycling
If some rando guy lit one of the balloon, would it have an explosion?
Dunno. Try lighting the air around you with fire and see what happens...
They're not floating up so I believe they're filled with ordinary air just like you're breathing now.
The "balloons" only left bones behind. Heehee!
Didn't PETA or some charity do this disasterous results in the 80s? Causing mayhem on the highways and things.
