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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

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

But you can't be sure.

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

It feel spicy

[–] [email protected] 20 points 5 months ago (2 children)

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?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Maybe it was very hot

[–] [email protected] 24 points 5 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.

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I feel like you are challenging me.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

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

It would most certainly apply after.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 5 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?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 months ago (1 children)

No. Not all lava is the same temp.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

As a teen I was in the woods fucking around with my friend like teens are wont to do and I got stuck in some. I was quickly half calf deep before he helped me out. Overall that was a fun day.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Tangential, but quicksand is called so because it moves, much like quicksilver.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 5 months ago (2 children)

She should’ve just lassoed a passing moose.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

A moose once bit my sister

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Or reached for a maple tree's branch.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Or held up a Tim Hortons coffee cup to attract the attention of local syrup farmers

[–] [email protected] 69 points 5 months ago (4 children)

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).

[–] [email protected] 23 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 months ago

Yeah, and apparently that phrase dates back to at least a 1526 translation of the Bible. It’s old.

When a fetus starts to move: “quickening”

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

No, that's when an immortal kills another immortal by beheading them and gain their powers.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Which historically is when some Christian writers believed the fetus gets a soul

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago

That fact really was fun!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

This is a fun fact!
