Americium Memes

The periodic table's most dangerous family reunion! This meme brilliantly captures transuranic elements as three-headed dragon meme format, where Neptunium and Plutonium are portrayed as serious, menacing threats (they're used in nuclear weapons, after all), while Americium is the derpy cousin who's just happy to be included with its tongue out. Despite being radioactive too, Americium is commonly found in household smoke detectors—literally the goofball of deadly elements that we invite into our homes. Nuclear physics has never been this adorably terrifying!
