    If lead is “maybe not a good idea”, the rest of these must be really bad ideas. I like that there’s still 2 more levels above lead. I assume the second level just explodes or vaporises you instantly or something.

    Everything that isn’t green should be ‘definitely not’ and several green ones are questionable

    Can you lick a gas? I would think it would need to be at least liquid, and once some of these are in a lickable state you probably wouldn't want to go ahead and do it.

      I’ve just licked some hydrogen

    It’s 100% accurate. But just in case, could you have the map on you when you go around licking things? The resultant news article will be way funnier that way.

      Sure! I’ll keep that in mind for my next lickpacking tour across Europe.

        Because everything exists in Europe :-D

    The periodic table is surprisingly lickable.

      Coming from someone identifying as salt, that’s high praise! 😁

    Can you lick a gas?
    Or do you have to cool it down until liquid?

      My brother once farted so bad I could taste it.

    Pshh. You can lick any of them once.

    source
    • Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Probably shouldn’t, though.

      Oganesson has a half-life of about 0.7 ms and is excruciatingly difficult to synthesize in a way that even lasts on the order of milliseconds. The beam it’s created in is sent to a semiconductor detector. You’d be stretching the definition of “lick” very heavily if you could even convolute a way to make it land on the human tongue.

        Just point the beam at their tongue instead of the duperwhatsit detector. Bam: Licked.

    Technetium really should be purple. The isotope that you’d be most likely to get some of (used for nuclear medicine) has a half-life of about 6 hours, and is appropriately radioactive.

    why is it fine to lick calcium? wouldn’t that cause sever burns?

    • Liz@midwest.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      It would, don’t do it. There’s more than one questionable assignment on the table including magnesium right below it.

      source
      • Warl0k3@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago

        Wait, why shouldn’t lick magnesium? I’ve done that plenty of times for giant dumbass reasons and I’m no worse off than before I licked it…
