      You did great and it’s the same message either way but, just for fun, your translation in French would be:

      bonjour je m’appelle helium. j’suis un gaz noble.

      (The literal translation would be “mon nom est helium” but people don’t usually talk like that in French- just like the literal translation of “je m’appelle” is “I call myself” but people don’t usually talk like that in English)

    Doesn’t splitting helium into hydrogen absorb energy?

    Fusion bombs fuse hydrogen into helium.

      France just happened to get nuked by the English at that very moment. It was unrelated to the helium situation

        Its actually the Germans dressed as the English, retribution for France planning on nuking them if the cold war got hot. Also it wa as all of Germany not just the Eastern half.

      Split atom and you get energy

      Not that atom - look you’re doing it wrong

      Yeah, you are right. You don’t energy for fusing elements heavier than iron and you definitely don’t get energy from fission of helium-4.

        There is no* energy stored holding it together, just as there is no energy released when splitting a brick from the ground or splitting two magnets.

        *The energy stored in the electrical repulsion of the protons is much much less than the energy required to break the strong force bonds amongst the protons and neutrons, so energy is consumed rather than released in a split.

    I realize trolling nerds is part of the appeal, but this gag would actually work with heavier noble gases like krypton, xenon, or radon.
