"Plunging"? I call BS, isn't lava way too thick for that?
Your mom's too thick to plunge
Thank God I have a snake!
But what if that anaconda don't want none?
I keep coming back and laughing at your comment. I literally only had a drain snake on my mind.
Boom roasted.
I’m pretty sure you’d lose more than just your arm if you were close enough to lava to “plunge” any sort of member into it.
Lava is typically 1300 F/700 C. Just exposure to the heated air around it would instantly burn you all over
Am Anikin. Can confirm.
Did you try spinning?
That's a good trick.
Whoopee!
You can actually walk on some lava (with boots.)
Imagine slipping
Nah I've been a few feet from flowing lava. It's really really hot, but not like, instant death hot.
A few feet, eh? Move one big step closer and tell me how it feels
You can do this for yourself at Volcano national Park in Hawai'i. If they still let people into the lava field. We got close enough to poke the new lava with sticks. It's tolerable unless you make the mistake of standing directly over it. Also if you go take flashlights, it's no fun trying to navigate a lava field by moonlight.
I work at a blast furnace, you can get alarmingly close to liquid iron before you are permanently injured.
Thank you and your apprentices for quantifying this threshold.
It's fine as long as you have the high ground.
Nope
Yeah. It's molten rock. You can't sink or plunge into it.
Just like you can't plunge your arm into melted ice... xD
