For the tactile learners out there!
The most useful chart 😅
You know, I’m surprised by how much green is on here. I would have expected much more red and purple.
It’s never occurred to me that I can lick neon
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!
Can you lick a gas? Licking liquid neon is very unwise.
Then lick solid neon, duh
Just ask Rocky to make you some neononite. If they can make xenonite, I don’t see why they couldn’t do neonite.
I want to meet the motherfucker bold enough to lick cesium.
I don’t think you’d be licking much of anything after that. It’s the one at 10 seconds in the clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YNsIaSbFdg
They’re so casual about it too.
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!
* 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.
licking uranium is only “maybe not the best idea”?
Compared to some of the others it’s pretty low in radioactivity (isotope dependent)
Uranium is a toxic metal, even when completely disregarding its radioactivity
So is lead, and that’s also yellow
So what I get from this: You can probably just lick it. Odds are in your favor
When in doubt, lick it.
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 follow the same rule with my wife.
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. 💙
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
Sodium reacts violently in water
Chlorine was used in mustard gas

“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
Licking most of the transuranium elements would entale sticking your tongue in a particle collider. Which I think is a fun Friday night 🤪
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.
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’m slightly infuriated that green doesn’t say: yes, you can!
Can we edit it?!
Sure, go for it.
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.
OH BOI, HERE I GO LICKING RADIOACTIVE CARBON ISOTOPES AGAIN!
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.
