Needs a "how fast can you move your tongue?" label for the unstable elements.

"Please, tell me how!"

Is it really that bad to lick something that disappears after nanoseconds?

[–] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 16 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It doesn't disappear, it becomes a different element.

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 4 months ago

Well, yeah. I guess it depends on into what they transform.

[–] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 5 points 4 months ago

Lol. I meant to accomplish the lick, in the first place.

I have no real sense of the likely consequences, other than "probably not great".
