If I hold a weighing scale upside down, can I measure stuff that is lighter than air?

Yeah I don't see why not.
You would get a reading on your scale of how force the object is trying to float with and would need to do some maths to convert that to its actual weight, but it would be a video reading.

For fucks sake I didn't even misspell "valid" my phone just converted it to "video" anyway because its built for casuals and zoomers

A balloon is not lighter than air, it has weight, but its buoyant force is enough to push it up.
just weigh the balloon with no air in it, itll have the same weight but ignorable buoyancy

no, balances and scales require gravity to operate, otherwise you’re just measuring the normal-force

as long as you turn the world upside down too, then yes

Poor excuse. You can easily disable auto correct. The fact that you didn't means you use the feature just like all other shitty zoomers do.
