Obsidian forms when lava cools very rapidly, limiting crystal growth. The lava pictured above most likely cooled slowly.

Cool. I guess I used lava and obsidian as synonyms.

That's no lava, lava is fluid, magma too.

Depending on when this picture was taken, it's just the outermost layer that's solid. The lava flows from underneath.

I’ve used Obsidian to take private notes using Markdown. Also thought of this:

My son 🙋‍♂️was SO cute today, he asked me “dad are clouds candy?” 😍 I told him they were water. 💦 Then he asked “Dad, what’s the Earth’s defense system?” and then I remembered I don’t have a son and he asked again with his eyes obsidian black “what is the defense system father”

Loved it, we need more people like you on Lemmy. Keep it weird 🖖

Edit: I use Roam instead of obsidian.

-“Where is Earth’s defense system father?” Intensifies

Obsidian is stone glass?

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

Glass is stone glass.

Is silicate glass.
