C'mon man, this information would be very handy.

[–] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 3 months ago

But costs an arm or a leg to find out.

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

[–] nondescripthandle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 44 points 3 months ago (3 children)

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

[–] Dabundis@lemmy.world 17 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The spiciest of spicy peanut sauces

Man I could go for some spicy peanut sauce chicken or something right now too.

[–] EvilHankVenture@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

Blow on it first,it's hot.

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

I always thought the lava buckets in Minecraft looked really tasty

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

But have they actually touched it?

[–] Kalothar@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago

Yeah you can look up videos of people getting their hands wet and slapping molten metal, so I imagine you can touch lava under the same Circumstances?

I don’t know man, I’m not a lava expert

[–] grue@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Whenever I see videos of them breaking into a fresh stream of it to collect some in a bucket, it looks less viscous than that.

(Maybe I'm just used to the bad peanut butter with the trans fats that keep it from separating, and the natural stuff is thinner?)

[–] shottymcb@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

It is thinner, and would absolutely pour off a spoon slowly like lava.

Isn't it full of brimstone? So it tastes eggy?

[–] Artyom@lemm.ee 0 points 3 months ago

What a cheap answer, peanut butter can be any number of consistencies based on temperature and is the first reference point for "thick substance". I need a scientist to experimentally compare the two and fell me if I need gif or skippy and at what temperature and humidity.

[–] assassinatedbyCIA@lemmy.world 28 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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 22 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Ring? In lava? Idk about that

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!

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 24 points 3 months ago (4 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.

[–] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I feel like you are challenging me.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

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

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 months ago

Maybe it was very hot

[–] ZagamTheVile@lemmy.world 18 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 3 months 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 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)

No. Not all lava is the same temp.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 months ago

Ah well good to know, in case I ever run into a lava pit thps3 custom park style I can know it may be safe to kickflip over.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 14 points 3 months ago (1 children)
[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

But you can't be sure.

[–] AnalogyAddict@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

I can't find a legitimate source for this man actually existing. Do you happen to have any?

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

I have no idea if it's real or a joke. Googling it is just showing me more memes.

[–] kraftpudding@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] baldingpudenda@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Depending on how hot. Only for a bit as the nerves are destroyed. The body part near the lava that didnt get completely destroyed? Absolutely excruciating.

[–] Ajen@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The pain doesn't always stop when the nerves are severed. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phantom_pain

im not sure this would really apply during the whole, limb extinction event.

It would most certainly apply after.

[–] JATtho@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

This is actually very fucked. He literally sacrificifed a few billion cells of his own, and now he is refusing to respond how to burn up less cells to reach consensus of how many cells it takes to feel lava.

[–] Shou@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

It's simple really. He didn't. Lava is so hot, it vaporizes the water inside cells. His arm would have exploded.

[–] ScruffyDucky@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

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

[–] pastabatman@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

It feel spicy

[–] niktemadur@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

The librul deep state told him to not say!
Doing it awakens you, brings about awareness that libruls are transsexual mooslem communist lizards!

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

I'd love to let you know, but you're not on the list, so...
