minus-squareMr. Satanlinkfedilink21•10 months agoWould concrete even hold. I mean lava is molten rock and cement is kind of a rock. So wouldn’t the cement melt before pressure could build up?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink34•10 months 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
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink8•10 months agoIt probably wouldn’t melt, but if you heat moist concrete it will spall ans crumble to bits before too long.

Yes. That’s the joke.

Giggity
And that would be a literal lava canon
