minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink34•2 years agoMost cements melt at a higher temperature than most lava gets to, so it would be solid chunks of cement getting blasted miles out when the pressure builds high enough to erupt

And that would be a literal lava canon

Giggity
Yes. That’s the joke.
