See, absolutely no order to the periodic table. Utterly useless.
Are you sure this isnt just a seasonal calendar of my wife?
Flourine should be the darkest purple. Injesting or inhaling any amount is serious bad news.
So what I get from this: You can probably just lick it. Odds are in your favor
When in doubt, lick it.
I follow the same rule with my wife.
When a problem comes along, you must lick it
Before the cream sets out too long, you must lick it
When something’s going wrong, you must lick it
I’m slightly infuriated that green doesn’t say: yes, you can!
Can we edit it?!
Sure, go for it.
OH BOI, HERE I GO LICKING RADIOACTIVE CARBON ISOTOPES AGAIN!
This diagram is way way way too conservative with the “see you on the other side” classification. To name a few: fluorine will literally make you catch fire instantly (if there’s more of it, you will basically get burned to a crisp before you can even blink), caesium will violently react with water in your mouth and produce so much hydrogen and heat, the whole mixture will instantly explode (in fact, this will not only be a usual, fire-like explosion, it will in addition to that be a so-called Coulomb explosion, which makes the situation even worse)
I wish to subscribe to more fun chemistry reaction facts!
I’ll take a pint of the purple stuff to go, please
Jokes on you, it’ll decay before you reach the car.
thanks, I’ll take it all to stay then
I have to admit that I absolutely love how licking sodium or chloride individually is very bad for you, but when you put them together, you can lick, eat, and even swim in it all day with minimal ill health effects.
Science. 💙
Sodium reacts violently in water
Chlorine was used in mustard gas
Sodium chloride : I make the soup too salty (yuckyCat.jpg)deleted by creator
swim in it all day
If you submerged your body in table salt in a swimming pool for an entire day, would you come out dehydrated and start to turn cured like beef jerky?
(Homer Simpson) Mhh cured beef jerky
Don’t we taste more like pork?
The only time I taste the human flesh is when I nervously bite my cheek so it starts to have fibroma which I try to gnaw off. Nah, tastes more like clam
☹️
If it’s anything like pool salt, probably not. I have a neighbor who uses pool salt, and I feel like I come out less shriveled (in my fingers of course 😏) than if it were chlorine water.
You are taking about water with salt. The question about submerging in a pool full of just salt.
I was in the pool!
Ask RFK Jr
“minimal”
Tell that to my dad’s high blood pressure
If you eat salt all day its going to have some quite serious health effects. Traces of it are tasty but that is about the limit.
Drinking seawater will kill someone quite fast…
Can’t wait for bionic kidneys to be an option that allow drinking sea water
Being colorblind sucks
Don’t let a stupid chart tell you what you can and can’t lick.
can you see these? 🤔
I love that the colour blind compatible version to just incompetentible to everyone else.
It just means you can lick them all
Superpowers!
Exactly.
They could very easily just keep the color for color seeing people, and then add a simple pattern in the background.
Like maybe diagonal lines on one, wavy horizontal lines in another, small dots in another, etc.
Just pretend you are taking a black and white picture or making a black and white copy on an old copy machine. Can you still interpret the data afterwards? If yes, then you did it right.
What you’re supposed to do with this stuff is design it in grayscale first, conveying information through shading, and then just add colour afterwards while maintaining the shade.
It’s never occurred to me that I can lick neon
Can you lick a gas? Licking liquid neon is very unwise.
Then lick solid neon, duh
You can lick xenon. Even inhale. Very fancy and very expensive. Show those nitrous plebs that you have the wealth to enjoy real chemical cuisine!
Just ask Rocky to make you some neononite. If they can make xenonite, I don’t see why they couldn’t do neonite.
Licking most of the transuranium elements would entale sticking your tongue in a particle collider. Which I think is a fun Friday night 🤪
You have activated my trap card!
You see, I was waiting for someone to bring up head-in-particle-collider-soviet-man only to raise you a different less known Vietnamese physicist who stuck his hands there instead!
there’s an ok Kyle Hill video about it if you’re interested (:
Collider? I barely know her!
…And then they built the super collider.
Thank you, you’ve been a great audience.
That’s what she said.
Licking Lead is only “not a great idea?” I think it’s squarely in the “Please don’t do that” territory.
You can absolutely lick lead once without any noticeable consequences. You need to be living in constant interaction with lead to get poisoning.
The best part is that if you do it enough you will forget what the problem is and an continue to lick lead.
Would you rather lick Uranium?
Damn, so close, put “us” in there and I’d be licking Uranus.
Why isn’t one of those responses
“Yes, you can!” ?
Because “Sure, go for it” is just that worded another way.
Listen to more music, bro.
Ah, a woosh. Thanks for the context!
I don’t mean that in a shitty way either. Low End Theory by Tribe Called Quest, Black on Both Sides by Mos Def and Madvillainy by Madvillain. Spin them start to finish with a decent set of headphones. Good Shit.
* Under standard conditions for temperature and pressure
Yeah, if it’s possible to have a normal licking experience with something that’s gaseous at room temperature, it’s not going to go well if you do lick it.
