And it’s quite heavy, being rock and all. So imagine very weighty honey.

Yeah. You know all those is movies and stuff where people sink in lava?

Nope. It's too dense. You'd be so buoyant you'd just stay on top.

I always thought that it just looks like they sink because their bodies are instantly vaporized at the point where they meet the lava.

Hey, asshole, don't you tell me how dense I am, I'm an AMERICAN

jumps into lava for freedom and sinks

I must not watch the right things, I don't recall ever seeing media of a person sinking in lava. The closest was the Terminator being immersed in molten metal, but he was probably more dense than the molten metal being made of room temperature metal
