i just learned that element 67 on the periodic table is Ho
Holmium@thermia as someone who autistically memorized the periodic table im pretty sure this is fake
@cuddlebug @thermia okay THAT’S definitely fake because there’s never three letters. you made this up just now
@chjara @thermia @cuddlebug those are just decimal positional notation numbers written with Latin numerals. they’re not real names
@puppygirlhornypost2 @sodiboo @thermia can’t keep up with this shit anymore…
@crmsnbleyd @thermia I need to re memorize it my memory is failing me
@cuddlebug @sodiboo @puppygirlhornypost2 @thermia take me back to 400 BC when we only had 4 elements...
@puppygirlhornypost2 @sodiboo @thermia you could tell me skbidium and rizzium are both lanthanide and I’d believe you, ain’t nobody got time to remember all those
@puppygirlhornypost2 @sodiboo @thermia mfw I read the name and thought “hmm holmium like a holme, funny how swedish it sounds” and then I went to the history section and got a stockholm jumpscare
@cuddlebug @sodiboo @puppygirlhornypost2 of course its swedish omfg
@thermia @puppygirlhornypost2 @cuddlebug my middle school crush name was Holme so I recognized it right away

@cuddlebug @sodiboo @puppygirlhornypost2 @thermia don’t forget the 4 elements named after a single mine in sweden
/Cinny
@cuddlebug @puppygirlhornypost2 @sodiboo @thermia yttrium, ytterbium, erbium, and terbium
actually it turns out holmium is named after the hometown of the discoverer and then there’s also scandium (named after scandinavia), thulium (greek name for scandinavia), tantalum (greek mythological character), and gadolinium (the person who did not find it) all originally discovered in that one town

It's real!
