I can’t tell the numbers, but La and Ac being in the main table threw me off, had me suspecting everything was wrong
Comment on What do you think the PPE is for

I’m not sure why it bothers me that they didn’t use the actual periodic table and replace one element for the joke. Instead it’s all jumbled and missnumbered.

Well I couldn’t see 1, so my brain went to where 2 should be, and saw Hydrogen, which told me shit was fucked. Ain’t nothing noble about no Hydrogen. That change alone would make water near impossible so exist and all life on earth to have never occurred.

Well, that change alone would mean elements have different names…

Yeah, I did notice Hydrogen where Helium ought to be. Other than that, though, the rest seems okay far as I know of the periodic table (meaning anything till about Uranium, in order)

Maybe an ordered table can’t have the element of surprise.

Well it seems lazy. And I think elements of accurate realness in contrast to the twist in a cartoon make it funnier.
It also bothers me that they are using the wrong definition of ‘mad’ for the joke. I think it was easier to find a word for a milder version of that ‘mad’, but it detracts from it for me.
