Fuuuuuck the flat earthers were correct and the earth looks delicious.
I want some of that sweet sweet magma...

I've been thinking a bit about this lately: creative use of everyday items to demonstrate natural phenomena might be an indicator of high intelligence.
- Tbh it’s more that science teachers are broke lol - one of the most inspirational/effective/but also probably violated the Geneva convention training program taught me explicitly - being a teacher means there is no thirty minute lunch and the best lessons are made with shit you get from the dumpsters at Home Depot.

I feel like the best analogy for this type of geology is a frozen lake. The ice moves and creates mountains and... um cracks. Lucky we don't get that on earth but it's still a nice analogy
- We do get cracks. They're the divergent plate boundaries. Water and ice just flow on time scales far too dissimilar to make an appropriate rate model at the cracks.
  
  I wonder if you could make a decent model of plate tectonics with wax. Have a pan of wax heated from below, deep enough that the top is cool enough to be solid.

Are these double stuffed or has shrinkflation really hit Oreos that hard?

It's a little difficult to see the oreo cookie wafer on the dark background. I think it would work better with a white background. Something like milk.

I did this a lot with poptarts as a kid. I'm sure I would still do it, but I hate poptarts now.
