Scientist: Finds the most useless element.
Also scientist: Names it after France 💀💀Well, they already got Gallium. (Gaul)
Gallium explodes people who call it a stupid element. (it used in the plutonium pits of atomic bombs)
The end reads like a bad Amazon review or something and it cracks me up.
Absolute dogshit isotope and its synthetic siblings are just the same but worse
1/5 stars
I’ll probably remember francium forever now, so there’s that.
Francium has been one of my favourite elements since before I was a teenager, I’m 35 and this hasn’t changed…this person needs to learn to have fun.
I think they did have fun writing this edit. 😄
Well I’m convinced of the position, should I go get the pitchforks?
Unfortunately the pitchforks were made out of Francium and they vaporized and cooked everyone.
Nah they’re right though. The fact that it was named after France is an abomination in the first place, but naming such a dogwater-useless element after France? It literally sounds like this isotope was only made to make a ‘can’t last 30 minutes’ joke about the French.
Isn’t it also one of those salt elements that just explodes instantly if it contacts water?
How did we even study it if it decays in less than an hour?
Study it in 45 minutes
a half life of 30min, doesn’t mean there won’t be anything left after 60min. After 60min there will be a half of the half left over, and after 90min - half of the half of the half, and so on
They’re not wrong.
Maybe they knew someone named Francis?

Wikipedia’s hall of fame of stupid edit wars has some pretty entertaining sections.
Don’t forget about the heated argument on a bodybuilding forum about how many days are in a week
most wikipedia thing ever to start the joke page with a link to the article defining “humor”.
