Kinda interesting how the atoms that now comprise that rock were once arranged as a conscious mind.
Scientists now believe a cloud of ash as hot as 510C enveloped the brain then very quickly cooled down, transforming the organ into glass.
…damn thats crazy
He is sharp.
Probably why he died

Crazy that’s how we all look on the inside
So many memories crystallized.
A mind is a terrible thing to take for granite
New tabletop material for the rich incoming.
Bro my Dyslexic ass read that as Venusius like from Venus 😭
I DIDNT KNOW IT WAS THE VOLCANO FROM ITALY
Damn, is he okay?
I’ve heard of a heart of glass, but not this
That’s probably the coolest thing I’ll see all week
WHAT put it back?!
Imagine your ancestor,
#millennia in the future from this very moment
scrolling past your glassified brain and just thinking:
^”huh, ^cool.”
Guys i think this may have killed him
Don’t smoke, kids
Must have been absolutely terrifying.
Probs had some dark, hard thoughts about that volcano
Damn. Is he gonna be ok?
What was he thinking??
Is he ok?
A mind shattering discovery
Is he ok?
Well there’s your problem.
This is what happens when your brain overheats.
All fun and games until ya drop it in the ash, and it reforms a new shambling body…. thirsty for the soul it once had…..
Why and what?
Well give it back.
Weird, how can something like this happen?
“Oh fuck put it back in!”
This picture is a lot to think about.
It wasn’t enough just for them to die lol
Is he okay tho
