This stuff is always pretty interesting.
But, at the end of the day.

Elements 113, 115, 117 and 118 have formally been recognized by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), the U.S.-based world authority on chemistry. The organization's announcement on December 30 means the seventh row of the periodic table is finally complete.
It's the first time the table has been updated since 2011, when elements 114 (Flerovium) and 116 (Livermorium) were added. Devised by Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev in 1869, the table categorizes chemical elements according to their atomic number.
But, at the end of the day.

Wow this news changes my life drastically.

I love 116 and Onions. Luby's can put a damn good scald on it TBH.

None will have as cool a name as Einsteinium

More bullshite "stories" coming out of the IUPAC, they must be looking for more funding. What a waste of tax dollars.

It took this long to dispense the elemental makeup of alcoholic beverages? 116 proof?

They don't exist in nature and are in existence for probably mere seconds or less. What's the point? What can be done with these elements?

Mere seconds? No. Attoseconds? Yes. And absolutely nothing. Just a continual waste of tax dollars (assuming it's partially funded by public funding).

The methods and technology to make these elements will furthur knowledge and inventions we have yet to see.
Someone once asked what the point of a computer was. It was way to cumbersome and slow to ever be effective

I wasn't trying to be a smart arse, just honestly curious.

Probably no point right now but that has nothing to do with making it on the periodic table

So there's finally a reason to print a new edition of chemistry textbooks. Oh wait, publishers print new editions and screw students all the time, already.
