[–]Vouk73 298 points299 points ago

I want to touch it. And maybe bite it...

[–]Southbysouth 102 points103 points ago

ME TOO! I wonder if this desire is like that thing where people say they get the urge to jump off tall buildings when they look out from the top.

[–]optimusprimus 123 points124 points ago

Call of the Void, I believe it's called. In this case it's more like Call of the Squishy Molten Rock.

[–]Southbysouth 36 points37 points ago

Sounds like a perfect name for it to me.
I always imagine it'd feel like really thick pudding. You know... if you could feel it without losing your arm to the heat.

[–]Jrodkin 4 points5 points ago

Lava isn't more ridiculously hot than fire, right? I mean, not too much? So I could like, step on it with shoes on really quick just to see what it feels like?

[–]ObsGenesis 13 points14 points ago

The heat might nip at your balls a little and your toes

[–]Jrodkin 8 points9 points ago

I'm only asking because in my childhood mind, Lava was some entity that just burns away, no, erases from existence, anything that touches it. Like, I touch it with my index finger and my whole body just melts.

Looking back, that's obviously false, but now I have to wonder just how dangerous it is compared to regular fire.

[–]ObsGenesis 6 points7 points ago

Well not sure if you actually don't know how dangerous lava is compared to fire... But I can give it a quick run down?? Fire is combustion ( obviously) which is just burning gases.... Lava ( Magma ) is stone/rock in liquid form that is super hot.. but you prob know that.... To compare putting your hand near it to fire? Depends on the scale... you can run your finger through a candle wick flame and not be severely burned. Compare that to a spoon full of lava you obviously can't put your finger in it without being severely burned.. but if you waved it above it the heat would be about the same as the fire..... But on larger scales... depending on how far the Lava traveled from it's originated area going near it would/could catch your clothes on fire in a matter of a second. With fire you would have to be next to it for a large amount of time or actually be "In" the fire... If you stepped on lava like you said... again depending on it's current solidifying state it would burst your shoe into flame and melt. Also it would stick to you... since Lava is highly dense... it's like walking on tar.

[–]Jrodkin 8 points9 points ago

Sounds...fun...

[–]Mimyr 2 points3 points ago

the more... you know...

[–]gjbloom 2 points3 points ago

Here's an article that discusses walking on lava.

[–]RedditLG 16 points17 points ago

"L'appel du vide" is the way cooler sounding French phrase.

L'appel manger lave! (The call to eat lava)

[–]BitchesLove 5 points6 points ago

How do you say that?

[–]optimusprimus 1 point2 points ago

Yeah the French does sound a lot better but I didn't think everyone would know what it translated as.

[–]FonZeD 1 point2 points ago

Hum "L'appel manger lave" is a little bit grammar nazi but OK :D

[–]Vouk73 21 points22 points ago

The texture just looks incredibly pleasing and interesting.

[–]LaureoTheOreo 43 points44 points ago

My old boss had an obsession with what lava would taste like. She insists it would be like caramel.

[–]Vouk73 64 points65 points ago

Well I guess it would taste like brimstone and burning, burning agony... But my heart goes out to her.

[–]LaureoTheOreo 14 points15 points ago

I keep telling her the same thing, but she didn't believe me. She argued that nobody has ever eaten it so we don't know what it actually tastes of...

[–]Mynci 18 points19 points ago

So how can she insist it tastes like caramel?

[–]LaureoTheOreo 7 points8 points ago

She said it looked like the coating you found on a toffee apple if it was melted... Like I said, I don't have a clue why she thought it, but apparently it's quite a popular opinion.

[–]pinchhazard 11 points12 points ago

It sounds like a worthy cause to connect these people with their dream of tasting lava. Assuming you think that removing morons from the gene pool is worthy.

[–]DrunkenAss 5 points6 points ago

What do you mean it's a popular opinion? Who the fuck thinks that other than your old boss?

[–]LaureoTheOreo 4 points5 points ago

Haha she told me she looked it up online (what lava tastes like) and loads of people thought it would taste the same!

[–]ThePlaystation0 42 points43 points ago

Probably tastes like a hot pocket fresh from the microwave.

[–]LaureoTheOreo 8 points9 points ago

Would also burn like one... Like the fiery depths of hell

[–]mindsnare 10 points11 points ago

Tastes like burning.

[–]SpermWhale 3 points4 points ago

tell your boss it would taste nothing, cause it will vaporize your taste buds in an instant.

[–]hbdgas 14 points15 points ago

I drank a lava lamp. It wasn't lava.

[–]SullyDuggs 7 points8 points ago

I've always wanted to taste lava. I bet it taste like some uber delicious Hawaiian fruit punch that only melts your taste buds because the flavor is so pure and transcendent that you no longer need to taste anything ever again.

[–]triceratops3 2 points3 points ago

It's like a toasted marshmallow

[–]the_penultimate_user 0 points1 point ago

I want to stick my dick in it.

[–]samageddon 113 points114 points ago

I just want to crawl inside that and use it as a blanket.

[–]MitMot 69 points70 points ago

I don't think that would be very fun.

[–]One_More_Comment 25 points26 points ago

3rd degree burns don't sound fun?!

[–]jsellout 37 points38 points ago

Surely there's a higher degree for scorching your skin off with lava?

[–]Mynci 23 points24 points ago

The degrees actually go up to 6, I think, but no one ever talks about them because they're pretty much exclusively fatal.

[–]BallsackTBaghard 86 points87 points ago

A pic of a 6th degree burn[WARNING:VERY GRAPHIC]

[–]McBurger 16 points17 points ago

Disappointed

[–]bonjourdan 24 points25 points ago

Guys dont click this its worse than Jolly Ranchers NSFL

[–]Cromi 6 points7 points ago

I think to assign a higher degree of burn, there would have to be remains of a body to look at.

[–]wolfvision 18 points19 points ago

an electric blanket is for pussies.

[–]thefreq 10 points11 points ago

Oh, it'd warm you up alright.

[–]acaddict 195 points196 points ago

Did you know you can get different types of lava depending on the texture? Two main types are called Pahoehoe and A'a(both names come from Hawaii). Pahoehoe is the lava you see here, its "ropey" texture is smooth and folds over itself. The A'a lava has a "rubbly" texture that looks like it has chunks floating in it, once cooled this lava can be dangerous to walk on because it's so sharp!

[–]searingsky 27 points28 points ago

A-a is also a german toddler word for poop

[–]Se7en_Sinner 30 points31 points ago

It's also the Fonz's way of expressing excitement twice.

[–]Geminidragonx2d 4 points5 points ago

That is a fascinating webpage.

[–]Thefreak666 2 points3 points ago

'za' isn't on that list

[–]Baskin 32 points33 points ago

You forgot to mention the third type: Pillow lava is the most common and abundant.

[–]acaddict 47 points48 points ago

oh pillow lava! Of course! How could I forget pillow lava. Pillow lava is formed when the lava meets the sea or a body of water. The lava then cools dramatically and forms a crust, but the inside is still really hot and keeps moving So it bursts through the crust! Once it is all solidified it makes really distinct pillow shaped rocks! The pillows sag into each other and can be a way of determining whether the rocks have been upturned or not! :)

[–]RowGreen 5 points6 points ago

I love when I see /r/geology spill over into the front page.

[–]SpermWhale 18 points19 points ago

Guaranteed warm bed.

[–]Respondir 38 points39 points ago

I remember learning about valcanoes in middle school, and I remember the entire class erupting with laughter when someone had to say "Pahoehoe".

[–]One_More_Comment 66 points67 points ago

erupting with laughter

Was that intentional?

[–]HawaiianDry 4 points5 points ago

Let me introduce you to where my friend lives.

[–]hawaiijake 2 points3 points ago

I live on the Big Island of Hawai`i, too. :)

[–]mareksoon 11 points12 points ago

... don't forget floor lava!

[–]Dom328 21 points22 points ago

This is fantastic.

[–]One_More_Comment 20 points21 points ago

This is my 8th grade science class in a nutshell..

[–]speculativereply 5 points6 points ago

This is also that Hawaii episode of Reading Rainbow in a nutshell.

LeVar Burton also taught us about Pele's hair, though he didn't mention how dangerous it is if you end up inhaling some.

[–]Franz_Kafka 6 points7 points ago

This comment rocks

[–]acaddict 6 points7 points ago

Igneous is bliss!

[–]Tactful 10 points11 points ago

The three main rock types are Igneous, Metamorphic, and Sedimentary... and whilst they're classicly distinct, they're actually all derived from the same process: lava/magma cooling into hard rock. This igneous rock can then be broken down, transported, and deposited to form Sedimentary rock, and also compressed under high pressure to form Metamorphic rock.

One of my favourite geomorpholigcal landforms derived from volcanic activity is the "volcanic plug", a large batholith of igneous rock that forcibly protrudes unto the surface. The more subdued rock it pushes upwards as it's forced up erodes, leaving this giant "plug" of volcanic rock. There are quite a few in the UK; in fact, a very famous castle in Edinburgh was built on top of one.

[–]prophetjohn 1 point2 points ago

can be dangerous to walk on

That's why it's called A'a (pronounced ah-ah!), because that's how you would react to walking on it.

Or so my geology professor said last year. It's possible he was trolling; he had a tendency to do that.

[–]nateguy 83 points84 points ago

Idk why, but that looks tasty as fuck.

[–]Orange_Astronaut 17 points18 points ago

Looks like candy! Delicious molten glowing candy!

[–]charlieADAMS 40 points41 points ago

Can I touch it? I want to touch it.

[–]Greatdrift 5 points6 points ago

don't be daft charlie

[–]heardlb 64 points65 points ago

I wish my poop looked like that because it certainly feels like that sometimes

[–]Everydayilearnsumtin 25 points26 points ago

If it happens, you better go to a doctor.

[–]optimusprimus 17 points18 points ago

It looks so soft and squishy. Maybe if I give it just a little prod...

[–]tarheel295 7 points8 points ago

[–]Xznon1 5 points6 points ago
