Can I lick it?

There's a lot marked green I don't think I'd consider safe...
Do not lick oxygen.
Don't we "lick" oxygen whenever we open our mouths?
you lick O2, diatomic oxygen. If you could 'lick' monoatomic oxygen, it would be about equivalent to licking something like fluorine.
Oxygen just really really really wants electrons. It's up there with fluorine in this regard.
Oxygen is a beast.
O wants to join with everything so bad, it sticks to itself first. O2 is still hungry enough to spontaneously eat iron. O3 can start breaking down some plastics and is extremely effective at sterilization.
Oxygen is extremely underrated and is the honey badger of all the elements.
Ah, I see. I assumed that this meme referred to licking a macroscopic "lump" of each element, rather than a single atoms.
I think you are free to interpret it however you like.
My As licking days are over, it seems. That's what I got out of this.
You can lick pure beryllium just fine. Just don't grind it into a powder and snort it.
Well....that really fucks my weekend....shit....
Licking mercury should be fine... As long as you don't inhale the vapors. But it's surprisingly not toxic orally (allegedly).
I’m sad green isn’t labeled “Yes, you can!” cuz that song plays in my head every time I see this
Can I lick Ununennium?
Unless the island of stability is much larger than we thought, I suspect Uun is in the "please reconsider" section.
