You mean I have to die to discuss your insights on death?

Peanut butter. According to many scientist lava has the consistency of peanut butter.

This is dangerous information for me as I like peanut butter a lot. Now I must beware the glowing forbidden peanut butter.

The spiciest of spicy peanut sauces

Lava is molten rock. It is still incredibly dense, if it wasn't burning hot you could walk on it. How would you plunge a whole arm in?

[–] CapeWearingAeroplane@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Very dense, yes, but stuff can be very dense and have low viscosity at the same time. Lava has a viscosity similar to peanut butter is what I've heard. You can push stuff down into it, it just requires some force to prevent the stuff from floating back to the top.

You could in principle walk on lava, either by moving quickly enough that you stay on top, or by protecting your legs enough that you could sink in maybe around knee deep where you would float.

Mercury is denser than steel, but Cody could still plunge his whole arm into a bathtub of it if he tried

More like lose-a-limb-to-know basis

Alot of pain followed by nothing except for a ring of pain around you the arm where the lava hasn’t completely burnt your free nerve endings off and pain in any flesh exposed to the radiative heat coming off the lava. So basically just a lot of pain.

[–] Philharmonic3@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ring? In lava? Idk about that

[–] CrazyLikeGollum@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Right? Don’t believe the lies of the Numenorean deep state. You’re being brainwashed by Elven space lasers! Can you really trust a man who would marry an Elf? It’s an abomination.

Sauron lives! The King’s Men will rise up, throw down the Elves, their Dunedain lap dogs, and claim Valinor in His name.

All praise be to Morgoth and his Chief Lieutenant Sauron! Hail the Great Eye!

I'm gonna take a guess here and say it feels hot. Very very hot.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Aren't you supposed to be dead from the radiant heat before you even get close enough to plunge a ~~ring~~ arm in lava?

[–] Manifish_Destiny@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

No. Not all lava is the same temp.

My mother had a personal experience with quicksand. Unlike the movies, its name is correct. She was just suddenly stuck in it up to her knees.

So now you all know.

Also, it wasn't in the jungle, it was in Canada, so she had to rely on being pulled out by my uncle since no vines were around.

[–] meleethecat@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

She should’ve just lassoed a passing moose.

Or reached for a maple tree's branch.

Fun fact, the “Quick” part of it is an old timey synonym of “Living”. So basically, Living Sand. It’s the same thing with Quick Silver (mercury).

When a fetus starts to move: “quickening”

[–] pruwybn@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

Is that why that movie was called "The Quick and the Dead"?
