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!
Being colorblind sucks
can you see these? 🤔
Oh wow! I’d give you Lemmy gold if I could 🥇
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.
Don’t let a stupid chart tell you what you can and can’t lick.
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!
See, absolutely no order to the periodic table. Utterly useless.
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
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.
* 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.
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
Flourine should be the darkest purple. Injesting or inhaling any amount is serious bad news.
Go ahead and lick pure oxygen. Nothing wrong with that, sure.
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.
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
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.

You need something else along with the oxygen to cause combustion.
The mercury and Gemini space programs had cabins consisting of pure oxygen. And those astronauts were fine.
Apollo 1 says hi.
PlumBum is my favorite flavor.
Yes you can! …well I’m gone!
Missed opportunity for sure!
Are you sure this isnt just a seasonal calendar of my wife?
Transuranic heavy elements may not be used where there is life.
