The Periodic Table of Human Ego
(aka “Why the Aliens Don’t Call Back”)
Instead of seeing cosmic names, aliens looking at our table see this mess:

NATIONS:

Americium “USAium” (We discovered it, so it’s ours forever)

Europium “Eurocentrismium” (Europe = center of everything, obviously)

Francium “We’re Frenchium”

Germanium “Deutscherium”

Polonium “My Homelandium” (Marie Curie planting a Polish flag on the atom)

Ruthenium “Tsar-ium”

Scandium “NordicPrideium”

Nihonium “Japanium, but in Japanese”

EGO GEOGRAPHY:

Berkelium “CollegeTownium”

Californium “Hollywoodium”

Dubnium “ColdWarFlexium”

Moscovium “Kremlin-ium”

Tennessine “Hillbillyium” (element of barbecue, banjos, and Oak Ridge)

Hafnium “Copenhagenium”

Holmium “Stockholmium”

Lutetium “Parisium” (fancy way to say “baguette-ium”)

Darmstadtium “BureaucraticGermanTownium”

Hassium “GermanStateium”

ALIENS' OBSERVATIONS AND JUDGEMENT:

Uranium, Neptunium, Plutonium "a civilization dreaming big using planets, the cosmos, and myth for the names!”

The rest “Lmao! they ran out of imagination and started naming atoms after whatever was outside their lab windows.”

“They unlock nuclear fire, split the atom, probe the foundations of matter…and then name it after one of their dumbest places: Tennessee.
These stupid apes are not ready.”

Surely you have some better names then? I like most of the transuranic names, so I have no doubt you'll blow my socks off.
>>
>>16770924
If I discover a new element I will name it 4chanium for the lulz.
>>
Alabamium (Ab) is the rightful name of astatine. Allison was robbed due to academic snobbery
>>
Naming rights can be so annoying.
>>
How much should Coke pay for Cocacolium?

>>16770979
No shit. Your point? There’s also dubnium.

>honoring the people/place responsible for a discovery is bad

Livermore is a dead, just like your god.
Cancer, both times.
