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 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.

I wish to subscribe to more fun chemistry reaction facts!

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.

Collider? I barely know her!

That’s what she said.

Can we edit it?!

It just means you can lick them all

can you see these? 🤔

Don't let a stupid chart tell you what you can and can't lick.

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.

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 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.

Because "Sure, go for it" is just that worded another way.

Jokes on you, it'll decay before you reach the car.

That's Thallium (Tl). Titanium (Ti) is a happy shade of green.

(I'm only replying because I thought that same thing at first glance)

Licking hydrogen is safe? Licks the sun

Missed opportunity for sure!

When in doubt, lick it.

Just like how lithium should be red. Just because it's less likely to explode your face open doesn't mean that it's just "not a good idea". It immediately creates pure Lithium Hydroxide, which will immediately start saponifying your mouth, and that's assuming it doesn't immediately light on fire, like the last time I did that experiment.

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.

You can absolutely lick lead once without any noticeable consequences. You need to be living in constant interaction with lead to get poisoning.

Would you rather lick Uranium?

I responded similarly when I saw this posted before. Yes, mercury can be very toxic if it gets into your blood, but the chances of that happening from a lick are astonishingly small.

Technically they're amalgams with silver or other metals. Different properties and such.

Radioactivity will do that.
