"Um actually,"

The inner core is solid, the outer core is liquid, and the mantle is kinda...solidish-slushy-sorta.

So the earth is like one of those fancy cherry cordials with the 2 fillings?

Takoyaki maybe?

That alt text is absolutely a mood that I can only respect

The calzones have betrayed me...

The liquid center bursts out sometimes, it's a soup dumpling

I like to think of the Earth more as a pizza roll. Eating one right out of the oven sure feels like tasting magma to me.

I don't think I've ever had a ravioli that's "molten inside". I'd say most of the time the pasta is the most soft part.

The mass produced one are like that

Not a ravioli, the casing was not made by pressing or folding two layers of the solid material together

So subduction zones don't count as "folding" anymore?

Not really, that brings magma currents into the equation, which actually make the comparison even worse since raviolis don't undergo plate tectonic movements

Why is the core of your ravioli molten?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

And a ravioli is a filling placed between two grain-dough based layers of even thickness; making it, and thus by extension, the Earth, a sandwich.

Sounds microwaved. Molten center with icy parts.

Dont tell Thanatos or he'll float over with some marinara sauce

It's more like a mince pie hot from the oven. You can hold it but the insides burn your mouth if you bite into it.
