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. 💙
Sodium reacts violently in water
Chlorine was used in mustard gas

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?
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.
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)
It’s never occurred to me that I can lick neon
Can you lick a gas? Licking liquid neon is very unwise.
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!
Just ask Rocky to make you some neononite. If they can make xenonite, I don’t see why they couldn’t do neonite.
Being colorblind sucks
It just means you can lick them all
Superpowers!
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.
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.
I want to meet the motherfucker bold enough to lick cesium.
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.
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.
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.
OH BOI, HERE I GO LICKING RADIOACTIVE CARBON ISOTOPES AGAIN!
Titanium should not be on a higher danger level than lead.
Edit: Tl != Ti
See, absolutely no order to the periodic table. Utterly useless.

Licks liquid Nitrogen
Licking hydrogen is safe? Licks the sun
If chemistry was spearheaded by goats
