The ingestion/breathability table might be more restrictive. Like, elemental Sulfur is perfectly fineno actually it’s not fine— but probably unpleasant to lick. Contact dermatitis likely but not life threatening—just one lick, ok; promise no more? ;)
Breathing elemental Sulfur is also going to result in contact dermatitis -inside the lungs. Which is going make a really bad day.
Not moisture but reactive molecules. (I mean, many forms probably do still absorb a good bit but) I forgot the exact chemistry but “activated” means chemically reactive. It binds with all sorts of reactive molecules, like toxins and many other things.
50% of it is just me wanting to share the screenshots. I considered just dumping the screenshots without much context, but this way I feel like I’m building a habit around it and i feel like it’s easier for people to find, if they really want too for some reason, a screenshot they missed. I totally get why it would be irritating though. A lot of them on Reddit I feel like we’re really low effort posts
I get why the poor perfomance got the game some negative reviews, but I don’t get the batmobile hate at all. I love my little tank and thought the game had some great passages for it.
All that aside I enjoyed a lot of the story missions as well and liked the plot and how much of an impact your story progression had on the open world.
Yeah idk, the Riddler making you do time trial batmobile races kind of feels like the Joker forcing you to do taxes. I didn’t mind them from a gameplay perspective, it just seemed kind of silly.
I do think the Combat got a bit old with the Batmobile. But that’s just my personal opinion. I do like all the other things the Batmobile introduced, like the riddler riddles and the races (not to mention how fun it is to just destroy the environment)
The plot though is amazing. If I had to pick between it or Arkham city (my other favorite) I don’t know which one I would pick. It would be a difficult decision
You’ve never seen the trick where you put a small amount of liquid nitrogen in your mouth to demonstrate… science, IDK something to do with lederhosen?
Don’t swallow it though, then you’ll get a perforated stomach.
You can stick your tongue in it. Wouldn’t recommend actually trying to get anything in your mouth.
You’re protected by the thin layer of nitrogen that immediately sublimates, this lasts until the nitrogen heats up so the liquid can touch you directly, which you want to avoid.
For mostly the same reason you can stick a finger into molten lead (without losing said finger), provided you do it fast enough and your finger is wet enough.
Same concern. It’s even arguable you can only lick solids (and lap liquids). This would make hydrogen a Must Not Lick, for example, if we could only consider solid forms.
It isn’t safe at any dose but the amount of harm from licking it once is definitely rather small. Probably safer than having a couple of alcoholic drinks or a single cigarette.
The inside of your mouth is on the outside of your body and so is the rest of your digestive tract, safely (well) isolated (unless it’s permeable) from your bloodstream. As a first approximation, our bodies are toruses. Just licking something is really not much more intimate than touching something unless it’s sugar which can be taken up right there on the spot. (At least glucose can and there’s enzymes in salvia don’t ask me for details).
All that said the Romans used lead(II) acetate as a sweetener and while definitely a bad idea, they didn’t all immediately keel over either. You’ll almost certainly be fine.
Pure water OTOH… you’ll burn your mouth because osmotic pressure tearing cell walls apart before the stuff dilutes to have a sensible amount of minerals in it. The tissue there is used to sudden violent cell death and heals quickly so no biggie, if you survived a too hot pizza you’ll survive water. Also, do eat that pizza to have enough minerals to replenish everything.
Nah, metallic lead is pretty solid. Licking it doesn’t really do much. You shouldn’t ingest lead, but you don’t really ingest it by licking a piece of metal.
Well, when you lick mercury, you’re actually going to swallow a lot of it. Thankfully, you’ll poop most of it out, and as long as you do it once, it won’t kill you.
But if I had to pick between licking lead or mercury, I’d go with lead.
Oh yeah. I am om team lead. The problem with Mercury is the vapor that ridiculously easy methylates when heated, and then you have a nerve toxin that quite easily crosses the blood-brain barrier.
lead’s bad for you, sure, but when some of the other metals on this scale’s red might literally explode your tongue/face/head depending on sample size and saliva accumulation, i’d say yellow fits it pretty well.
