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).

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

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

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

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.

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

Yeah you can look up videos of people getting their hands wet and slapping molten metal, so I imagine you can touch lava under the same Circumstances?

I don’t know man, I’m not a lava expert

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?)

It is thinner, and would absolutely pour off a spoon slowly like lava.

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!
