  licking uranium is only "maybe not the best idea"?

  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 (:

    I honestly have no idea where this originated, but it looks like it’s been everywhere, has t-shirts and posters, etc.

      I watched a video from 11 hours ago by the dude who made it, well, made this version at least.

      It’s the exact same one on the video, something he’s done for several videos.

  Some of those in the actinoid [sic] series are gonna be really difficult to lick simply because of how unbelievably short their half-life is, or those such as mendelevium, that require you to either have access to (and in other cases even have your head inside of) a linear particle collider.

  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. 💙

    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…

    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 cured like a piece of beef jerky?

      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.

    Sodium reacts violently in water
    Chlorine was used in mustard gas
    Sodium chloride : I make the soup too salty
