This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Is it even lava after it cools in the bucket of water? Chemically, yes (or maybe? Wouldn't the water change it just a bit?), but definition wise does lava not imply that it is still molten?
