Flourine should be the darkest purple. Injesting or inhaling any amount is serious bad news.
meme_historian@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 months ago
So what I get from this: You can probably just lick it. Odds are in your favor
ivanafterall@lemmy.world 8 months ago
When in doubt, lick it.
ExploitedAmerican@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I follow the same rule with my wife.
Wolf@lemmy.today 8 months ago
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

OH BOI, HERE I GO LICKING RADIOACTIVE CARBON ISOTOPES AGAIN!

Rev3rze@feddit.nl 8 months ago
Sure, go for it.
underscores@lemmy.zip 8 months ago
I’ll take a pint of the purple stuff to go, please
finitebanjo@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Jokes on you, it’ll decay before you reach the car.

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!

Transuranic heavy elements may not be used where there is life.
UpAndAtThem@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Yes you can! …well I’m gone!
sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 months ago
Missed opportunity for sure!
grumpusbumpus@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Licking Lead is only “not a great idea?” I think it’s squarely in the “Please don’t do that” territory.
WanderWisley@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I’ve been told that uranium tastes just like lemon drops.
nebulaone@lemmy.world 8 months ago
PlumBum is my favorite flavor.

Go ahead and lick pure oxygen. Nothing wrong with that, sure.
Siethron@lemmy.world 8 months ago
You know O2 is pure oxygen right? Unless we’re getting into the technicality of if things in there gaseous forms can be licked it’s safe.
marcos@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Get a bottle of pure oxygen and open it over a tongue-simulator¹ to see what happens.
People usually use a hot-dog. But with oxygen, even a piece of wood is close enough.
shneancy@lemmy.world 8 months ago
i think gasses can be licked, for example - if i put menthol shards into hot cup of water, i can definitely feel it on my tongue if i lick the air above the cup. therefore, lickable
ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 8 months ago
- Under standard conditions for temperature and pressure
davidagain@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Yeah, of 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.
PaulBunyan@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Being colorblind sucks
dubyakay@lemmy.ca 8 months ago
Don’t let a stupid chart tell you what you can and can’t lick.

5PACEBAR@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Oh wow! I’d give you Lemmy gold if I could 🥇
echodot@feddit.uk 8 months ago
I love that the colour blind compatible version to just incompetentible to everyone else.
waterSticksToMyBalls@lemmy.world 8 months ago
It just means you can lick them all
Tja@programming.dev 8 months ago
Superpowers!
jaybone@lemmy.zip 8 months ago
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 day afterwards? If yes, then you did it right.
echodot@feddit.uk 8 months ago
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.
vivalapivo@lemmy.today 8 months ago
Saw this table already here.
In no circumstances you should lick Bohr. Go lick Lead instead - it’s much safer
PrimeMinisterKeyes@leminal.space 8 months ago
Lick mercury? Plenty of people carry lumps of it right in their teeth, 24/7.
BreadOven@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Technically they’re amalgams with silver or other metals. Different properties and such.
vithigar@lemmy.ca 8 months ago
I responded similarly when I saw this posted before. Yes, mercury can be very toxic if it gets into your blood, but the chances of that happening from a lick are astonishingly small.
EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 8 months ago
To my understanding, organic compounds are where the real danger is with mercury.
BootLoop@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
Titanium should not be on a higher danger level than lead.
dmention7@midwest.social 8 months ago
That’s Thallium (Tl). Titanium (Ti) is a happy shade of green.
(I’m only replying because I thought that same thing at first glance)
EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 8 months ago
Titanium (Ti) is a happy shade of green.
And I would certainly hope so. You can buy eating utensils made from titanium.
BootLoop@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
Ah thanks.

Licking hydrogen is safe? Licks the sun
aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 months ago
Technically you can lick anything. You just won’t be around for long if you lick some of them.
samus12345@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
And none of the answer say that you can’t. Some of them just say that you shouldn’t.
BeNotAfraid@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Why isn’t one of those responses
“Yes, you can!” ?
samus12345@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
Because “Sure, go for it” is just that worded another way.

I want to meet the motherfucker bold enough to lick cesium.
EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 8 months ago
I don’t think you’d be licking much of anything after that. It’s the one at 10 seconds in the clip: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YNsIaSbFdg
koper@feddit.nl 8 months ago
I think I would rather lick Technetium than Lithium
Fermion@feddit.nl 8 months ago
Radon should be yellow. You don’t want long term exposure of it in your lungs, but it’s still mostly chemically inert and not a significant immediate danger.
wolframhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
Just like how lithium should be red.
Tower@lemmy.zip 8 months ago
You know, I’m surprised by how much green is on here. I would have expected much more red and purple.
SpaceRanger13@lemmy.zip 8 months ago
For the tactile learners out there!

The hydrogen is more likely to explode than poison me.

See, absolutely no order to the periodic table. Utterly useless.

The spiral’s more fun, anyway.
