        The fact that Thorium and Uranium are just “probably not a good idea” makes me think that the scale is based on licking like an ore that contains them rather than the pure element

          I’m pretty sure I could get away with licking my uranium ore sample. Not going to test it apropos of nothing though.

          A lot of those trans-uranium (and astatine) aren’t going to exist in lick-able quantities anyway.

      In order to lick something at the very least it needs to be liquid, or better yet, solid.

      Trying to kick hydrogen, with this in mind, will be the last lick you ever do in your life
