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.

Pshh. You can lick any of them once.

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

You really shouldn't, though.

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.

The periodic table is surprisingly lickable.

I can be, though, if you ask nicely..

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

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.

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

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.

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

Compare XKCD.

Because everything exists in Europe :-D

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

Easy, just send the beam to their tongue instead of the duperwhatsit detector. Bam. Licked.

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

You can totally lick Sodium! Its natures poprocks!

My brother once farted so bad I could taste it.

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

Most of atoms can't be find as a pure form (metal/crystal or pair). You may have licked magnesium oxyde (MgO), but not magnesium as an explosive metal.

I would have loved this in school.

I’ve just licked some hydrogen

In theory, if you dry enough your tongue, you can lick sodium, i wouldn't keep it on my tongue longer tha 0.5s tho

well, i wouldn't keep it on my tongue at all tbf

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.

You dirty gasophile

Magnesium's fine, I've licked it. Held some magnesium tape in my mouth once while mixing the thermite.

You can lick everything, but some only one time

Gonna have to vet the Blarney Stone before I lick it. Could be made out of anything.

Can you lick it? Well do you have a tongue, if so then, yes, you can lick it.
Should you lick it is a better question though...

Some of the purple ones have a time limit to lick them before you die that starts once you enter the room they are kept. You'll still die after licking them, but you would at least have licked it if you're quick.

So those are "yes, but hurry"?

jots down in notebook

Come on, it can't be that bad if we build water pipes with it

;^)

Can I lick it? (Yes, you can)

I LOVE the “you are here”

Licking calcium is fine?

I guess if you're okay with the nasty burn...

not everything. Just Licktenstein.

I'm wearing that picture on a shirt right now!

Licking lead once is completely fine, just don't make a habit of it

In so far that it's such a terrible map, that it's not a nap at all, yes! Totally accurate.

thank you for my first guffaw of the week

But Can I Kick It?

Gas at room temperature? Probably not a good thing to lick when it is liquid nor solid.

Won't kill you is this tables version of fine.

Okay if you think licking lead and uranium is maybe not a good idea then I think you need to reevaluate your decision making skills.

I ate a banana and now I have summer teeth

Bam. Licked.

My dog running straight at me after a solid 15 at the butthole buffet.

Well done!

If you find enough oganesson to lick, you should get to do it
