And then shortly after, face melting.

🎶 Gimme the heat, boys, and clean my bones

I want my flesh to turn into foam

And drift away 🎶

Why does it change color? To fend off predators?

Considering how many humans it's eaten, I'm pretty sure those colours are bait

what kind of acid? can you actually touch it?

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 33 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I wouldn't recommend it.

Man's last moments filmed as he dissolved in acid leaving just shoes and wallet

Colin Scott slipped and fell into the scorching water close to Porkchop Geyser in Yellowstone National Park while he had been out with his sister Sable looking for a swimming spot

The shoes and wallet survived? Whatever brands those were, they should put that in their commercial.

I am never ever clicking that link.

[–] juliebean@lemmy.zip 20 points 3 days ago

they don't actually show the video, fwiw. just grisly words.

[–] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 14 points 3 days ago

There's nothing explicit in it. Just says he fell in, died from the heat, and dissolved overnight. No video released.

Lookup what that pool looked like before human pollution.

[–] notabot@piefed.social 4 points 2 days ago

Oh go in then, as a treat you can touch it once. But only once! (After that you disolve)

Hey, that was my wallpaper !
