southsamurai, I dunno, if that gasses are in a state where they’re able to be licked, they’d mess you up pretty bad
brian, But does this imply licking it in a “lickable” state? I have a hard time imagining licking a gas, and licking hydrogen as a liquid at -250 C or so sounds, not great.
wahming, Depending on the quantity and the leidenfrost effect, you might be fine
plinky, Licks calcium one time hahaha
PervServer, Lick my As! You chemists can’t stop me from slobbering on every element.
atomicorange, The elements can defend themselves. You lick whatever you want, buddy.
IndiBrony, Yes you can!
pete_the_cat, But Lead tastes so good!
I wonder what metallic Sodium tastes like…
bahbah23, It tastes like pain.
becausechemistry, It tastes like hot hydrogen gas (that will quickly mix with oxygen and taste like superheated steam).
If that doesn’t get ya, it would taste like sodium hydroxide, and also soap. (The soap is from the hydroxide turning the fats in your cells into soap.)
dojan, I wanted to tell a joke here, but all the good jokes argon.
jawa21, I was going to tell a sodium joke, but Na.
dohpaz42, That was such a noble thing to admit.
lseif, it didnt get a reaction out of me
dohpaz42, You could say you were inert to my attempt at humor.
Skanky, The original joke was pure Gold, but these later ones are just Boron me
NotSpez, K
bahbah23, (edited ) I would avoid licking zinc. It’s a necessary nutrient but it doesn’t take much to mess your stomach up.
FilthyShrooms, I’d bump up cesium, rubidium, and probably potassium to “please reconsider”, as I would not want to stand near you
doubtingtammy, I’m gonna lick Ununennium and you can’t stop me
Buddahriffic, There aren’t any unun* elements on the visible table anymore; they gave them all names.
doubtingtammy, Ununennium is still hypothetical
ilinamorato, A decent chunk of these are “how would you even?” and a few others are “you’re doing it right now.”
xkforce, (edited ) Lithium, Sodium etc. need to be upped to “please reconsider.” Calcium and all the lanthanides are also metals I would not advise licking because theyre very reactive. Promethium is especially dangerous due to its radioactivity with its longest lived isotope having a half life of around 17 years. So not only is it reactive, youd die to the radiation too.
atomicorange, Lithium is just gonna be a little fizzy like pop rocks. No explosions, thankfully. The LiOH produced would not be fun for you, but probably won’t hurt anyone else.
xkforce, Lithium salts are used to treat bipolar. The metal isnt just reacting with the water on your tongue to create a very strong base (and lots of heat), you are also going to be ingesting that Lithium (as a lithium soap as it reacts with oils and fats) which can have different (unpleasant) effects on you depending on how much was ingested. If your kidney function is impaired, it gets worse.
pruwybn, We can’t lick sodium or chlorine, but combine them and you get something we literally make blocks of for the purpose of licking. What a world!
Allero, One is bad in one way and the other is bad in the opposite way.
Neutralize!
randomthin2332, This is like the nile red videos where hes like “plastic gloves are essentially grape fruit” and then proceeds to make it.
Reddfugee42, Remind your cousin Becky about this when she starts going on about mercury compounds in vaccines
bdonvr, I’d say downgrade Mercury to yellow. Licking Mercury won’t hurt you as long as you hold your breath.
Having it close to your breathy parts is always not a great idea though.
roguetrick, (edited ) I’d sooner lick plutonium than mercury.
Edit: well, maybe plutonium oxide now that I think about it. Elemental plutonium is a bit too reactive in the burn your face off way.
ColdWater, (edited ) CodySlab swallowed it
profxavier01, @fossilesque This table is not appropriate for superman
MunkyNutts, Superman’s weakness was kryptonite not krypton, easily confused.
