[–]JohnScribbles 202 points203 points ago

One time it was really hot during summer and I tried to melt a huge bag of gummy bears into a perfect circle so that I could freeze it into a gummy bear frisbee. After the gummy bears were melted into a pool I threw that babe in the freezer on the top shelf (closer to the cold-maker!). Unfortunately, when I closed the door it must have shifted the plate with the gummy pool (which was obviously precariously placed on several frozen packages of waffle fries, tater tots, otter pops, etc.). So then hot liquid gummy dripped over the entire interior of the freezer and froze there. I opened the door an hour or so later to complete fucking multi-colored chaos. The gummy had frozen over just about everything forming an impossible hyde of goo-turned-rock. My Mom walked in shortly after and saw it and flipped her fucking shit on me. The gummy somehow dripped into the small vents and and we ended up needing a new fridge/freezer combo which I had to buy (I didn't end up buying it because I was like fucking 16 and no 16 year old has money for that kind of shit).

The point of that story was to tell you guys that melted and refrozen gummy bears caked inside a freezer looks EXACTLY like this picture.

[–]anhero23 55 points56 points ago

You really gummed things up, ya dodo.

[–]tentacler 18 points19 points ago

I don't think I could bear the shame.

[–]EvanMacIan 13 points14 points ago

And that's it, folks. There are no more puns that can be made about gummy bears.

[–]Gamesmac 19 points20 points ago

Aww cmon, just gummy one more!

[–]EvanMacIan 17 points18 points ago

No.

[–]oristhisjustfantasea 2 points3 points ago

I don't know, these are going to be hard to chew on if we keep going

[–]SomeDudeinAK 8 points9 points ago

It took you a while to get there, but I actually enjoyed your story.

I especially liked the part about your Mom. Mom walks in, sees it and flips her shit. Yeah, I like that, I'm gonna plagiarize that.

I didn't respond to you,I responed to Economistic.:P.I don't know which game does he think of,but there is obsidian in a lot of games .

[–]TheActualAWdeV 0 points1 point ago

You did respond to me.

But yeah, there is in a lot of games and I didn't realise minecraft could've been one of them. The game that came to mind was DF. :P

[–]Mernercreft 0 points1 point ago

okay.,so I thought I responded to him,but I didn't by accident.My bad. :P:P

[–]spookypen 0 points1 point ago

I saw pizza, at least in the thumbnail.

[–]Massif_centrale 3 points4 points ago

Is this felsic lava?

[–]irishgeologist 5 points6 points ago

Yes. If it contained more SiO2 it wouldn't flow that well.

[–]YO_ITS_TYRESE 2 points3 points ago

Damn that SiO2 and MgO, always making my nickel laterite ore smelt at different temperatures.

[–]Devostater 1 point2 points ago

Whats the difference between that and pahoehoe lava?

[–]k4ylr 4 points5 points ago

Pahoehoe and A`a are textures. Mafic and Felsic are mineralogic definitions.

And this is a Mafic flow, presumably on Kilauea near Kalapana and Royal Hawaiian subdivision.

Source: I went to school at UH Hilo...where I spent multiple days per week studying these exact flows.

[–]irishgeologist 2 points3 points ago

If I remember my old lectures correctly, pohoehoe is Fe-rich, basaltic, and flows easily (like this picture). A Si-rich lava such as rhyolite tends to flow less easily, and be more explosive.

[–]Kaleb1983 3 points4 points ago

I just have to ask this. Who the hell takes these pictures?! What kind of person is brave enough to get that close to FUCKING LAVA?! To be lava it has to be over 1000 F!

Someone is braver than me because I would be treating lava like a spider... NOPE!

[–]twelvefortyAM 3 points4 points ago

I'd get that close.

Then I'd retreat to a safer distance and throw shit into the lava.

I think it'd be awesome.

[–]Staus 4 points5 points ago

I've roasted marshmallows over lava like that with a 3' stick, then used the stick to poke into the lava for kicks. Lava is kinda squishy.

Put your oven on broil for half an hour, then open the door. That's what it feels like.

[–]baroobob 0 points1 point ago

I didn't have the huevos to get that close in Hawaii, the cracking sound of the lava rock with each step as I got closer sapped my courage

[–]FUCK_YEAH_DUDE 1 point2 points ago

Agreed!! It'd be sick to throw a bunch of different shit in there.

[–]Shaolinmunkey 1 point2 points ago

You're totally safe from lava if you're standing on the couch.

[–]roland-lobster 1 point2 points ago

One time I opened a bag of popcorn after I had it in the microwave and steam came out, that hurt. Closer To Hell.

[–]mypantsareonmyhead 4 points5 points ago

Once I caught a little bit of cockskin in the zip on my pants. That was closer to hell.

When you want to hide the evidence, this is the best place to dispose a human body, better yet, throw the evidence inside the volcano.

[–]I_RARELY_RAPE_PEOPLE 3 points4 points ago

You call it "Almost Hell" And as I look at the picture, In the center flow coming over the edge; I see what looks like a dark/flaming angel figure.

[–]physicscat 1 point2 points ago

I imagine if you we're one the people writing what became the Bible, and you were trying to describe the concept of Hell, a volcano would be your example of choice. Lakes of fire, sulfur and brimstone...and since they are all over Italy where the Roman Catholic Church is, it's not too much of a stretch to see this connection today.
