Can I lick it?
(lemmy.world)
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
Radon should be yellow. You don't want long term exposure of it in your lungs, but it's still mostly chemically inert and not a significant immediate danger.
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.
