Why do balloons pop when punctured? Why don't they just

kill yourself

Balloons are basically just spherical rubber bands. When their structure is compromised, they "snap" the same way a rubber band does, but in a sphere, because balloons are just spherical fucking rubber bands. This is because balloons - spherical rubber bands - distribute their tension in a sphere instead of straight lines. Just like a spherical rubber band would. Because balloons are spherical rubber bands.

This plus the fact that the material is unable to withstand the tearing forces. The mouth of the balloon is reinforced. A punctured area won't be reinforced. You may be able to puncture the neck of the balloon without it exploding since it is also partially reinforced, though less than the mouth.

Because a balloons end is like an asshole. It's though and make for controlled expulsion.

The skin of the balloon is soft like a fair maiden.

Please don't rape the asshole.

It's fuckers like you that are degrading the quality of these boards. Contributing absolutely nothing to the discussion at hand.

Protip: put piece of scotch tape on a balloon. Stick a pin into the balloon where the tape is.

It's fuckers like you that are degrading the quality of these boards; posting dumb questions that don't encourage any kind of discussion and get answered in 2 posts. These questions belong in a dumb question thread.

So kill yourselves for being dumb faggots, just like OP.
