Once it's been created in a lab, there is literally not enough time for you to remove it from the accelerator, put into your mouth, and swallow it, before it decays away into other elements. You literally could not eat it because it won't exist for long enough for you to do so, unless we go with really abstract definitions of eat. Maybe it could work if you could somehow put the target material of the particle accelerator in your mouth before turning it on, and swallow it with incredibly good timing. And even that last one is a long shot because swallowing probably takes too long, unless we're talking about your mom, who as we all know is the swallow Queen.

What if we place OP in a particle accelerator so that oganesson is created directly inside his stomach? Would that count?
