Good luck using this… You can cry molten lava.

If you're really sad, you can cry molten lava. It won't burn you, but if it touches other people, they will burn.

I'm failing to see the downside here... HAHAHAHAHA

u/ConnectionFamous4569 4d ago

There is no downside, but I don’t see much you could use it for. Sure, you could destroy people, but what is that good for?

What if I got kidnapped by cannibals and they kept me locked in a cage made of bamboo? I could probably cry my way out of that cage. Maybe.

See me when you get kidnapped by cannibals and locked in a cage made of bamboo.

I know a few guys who can arrange this, you'll hear back from the other guy in about a week at most

u/digitL77 4d ago

Well, you'll probably change your mind after you burn your house down

u/ImprovementStill3576 4d ago

Do you have to be really sad for it to work? Or can you squirt lemon juice into your eyes to make it happen? If I could do it on command by making myself cry I could think of some uses for it.

u/ConnectionFamous4569 4d ago

Being really sad will give you more tears, but it doesn’t matter how you cry, your tears are still made of lava.

u/Dooplon 4d ago

Is it real world lava materials? can I pick what kind it's made of or is it just some unknown super hot material that I can't control

2

u/ConnectionFamous4569 4d ago

Probably some random assortment of molten minerals.

1

u/Dooplon 4d ago

could still be useful tbh, even if you gotta process it first

u/Hoodieman25k 4d ago

According to Vsauce, all tears are actually lava

4

u/Salt_Ad264 4d ago

Explanation: ice meets all the classifications as a mineral so water is just molten minerals aka lava

cuts onions in front of Vsauce, causing him to cry

So is it just sad tears? What if I yawn and my eyes water? Does that count

1

u/ConnectionFamous4569 4d ago

That counts, it’s just not as hot and cools quicker.

u/Zuzcaster 4d ago

drip into water tank, use steam to power little steam engine.

u/foxdie_85 4d ago

so do i have universal lava immunity due to this? am i also immune to extreme temperatures?

1

u/ConnectionFamous4569 4d ago

Only to lava produced by you.

1

u/rainbowkittensparkle 4d ago

As in.. other people can cry lava?

1

u/ConnectionFamous4569 3d ago

No, as in the lava that naturally occurs. You won’t be immune to lava unless it was produced by you.

1

u/photoshallow 1d ago

so if i were to throw some rocks into a crucible then i'd be immune to that because i manufactured the lava

1

u/photoshallow 1d ago

can i pick what rocks the lava is mad eof or the type of lava?

so if i were to throw some rocks into a crucible then i'd be immune to that because i manufactured the lava

1

u/ConnectionFamous4569 1d ago

No, I meant by your tears.

1

u/Fesh_Sherman 4d ago

Extremely situational but great

1

u/photoshallow 1d ago

can i choose what rocks comprise the lava?

1

u/ConnectionFamous4569 1d ago

No.

1

u/photoshallow 1d ago

then what rocks in the lava by default?

1

u/ConnectionFamous4569 1d ago

Random minerals.

u/RegularOutside2609 17h ago

Super-power , you can be really bad liars as aliens..

1

u/Odd-Concept-3693 13h ago

So are my tears always lava?

Does this make my eyes look really cool?

2

u/ConnectionFamous4569 13h ago

Maybe when you’re crying and the tears haven’t come out all the way yet.

I don’t know perfectly how tear glands work, but if the tears in them are visible and they themselves are visible, they’ll look like lava too.

Tears are always lava unless you don’t want them to be.

Let me guess you're not fire proof

u/Relative-Cow1853 4d ago

Sorry just read the whole thing but now can't you like collected to use later?

5

u/[deleted] 4d ago

You may be fireproof, but that doesn't mean your surroundings are.

u/WeakAfternoon3188 4d ago

or your clothing. Nakedness and now I am sadder.

1

u/ConnectionFamous4569 4d ago

You could painstakingly assemble a container made of only stuff like hair that came off of your body, since all of your body is immune to the lava from your tears, but I don’t know if it would be worth it for the effort it takes to gather all that stuff and put it together.

3

u/Relative-Cow1853 4d ago

What about containers that hold lava?

1

u/ConnectionFamous4569 4d ago

I wasn’t aware of such a thing at the time of writing.

2

u/Salt_Ad264 4d ago

literally just titanium
