We 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.

Yes! I’ve heard. I would love to try some of that.

Always careful with gasses. You basically replace a certain amount of capacity in your lungs with them, so you can very much suffocate yourself if you overdo it.
