    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.

      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).

      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?)

      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.

    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.

        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?

      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.
