can the weight of millions of balloons be heavy enough to pop the balloons at the bottom? (lemmy.ml)

Like, say you had a grain silo or some theoretical structure that would allow you to fill the structure as high as you wanted, full of balloons, all inflated with regular air, not helium.

Is there a point where the balloons' collective miniscule weight would be enough to pop the balloons on the bottom? Or would they just bounce/float on top of each other forever and ever?

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !askscience@lemmy.world

I went there but only one post showed up. Couldn’t find a similar active one on lemmyworld. Is it a different server?
