OMy

I’m not sure why it bothers me that they didn’t use the actual periodic table and replace one element for the joke. Instead it’s all jumbled and misnumbered.

Maybe an ordered table can’t have the element of surprise.

I can’t tell the numbers, but La and Ac being in the main table threw me off, had me suspecting everything was wrong

Well I couldn’t see 1, so my brain went to where 2 should be, and saw Hydrogen, which told me shit was fucked. Ain’t nothing noble about no Hydrogen. That change alone would make water near impossible to exist and all life on earth to have never occurred.

marcos@lemmy.world on 05 Oct 16:12 next collapse

Well, that change alone would mean elements have different names…

Yeah, I did notice Hydrogen where Helium ought to be. Other than that, though, the rest seems okay far as I know of the periodic table (meaning anything till about Uranium, in order)

Well it seems lazy. And I think elements of accurate realness in contrast to the twist in a cartoon make it funnier.

It looks pretty much right to me. Though hydrogen is sitting on top of fluorine for some reason and there appears to be a box in hydrogen’s normal spot, but maybe it’s to emphasize the chemical similarities between hydrogen and that column as well as the column it’s usually shown in. The numbers are hard to read and I didn’t look anything up to verify, but they look correct from what I can see, if a bit less clear than most for how the actinium and lanthanum series fit in.

LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 07 Oct 22:42 collapse

Oh yeah I see what you mean, like they cut the noble gases out of the shot, moved hydrogen to the right, and just left a blank box for where hydrogen should be? A lot of the text is to hard to read the atomic weights or anything, but I’m sure that would be nit picky haha

Isn’t Polonium the element of surprise?

i thought it was lead. all you gotta do is leave your uranium laying around too long and oopsie poopsie lead

Why is it denoted by a smiley face, rather than „Ah“?
