Um. Silicon is what makes the skin flexible. Apparently. Don't get it sucked out of you...holy cow

@Lazarou Ironically I just bought the full DVD series of Silicon Valley

#Monsterdon

flexible? you're thinking of silicone, not silicon

#monsterdon

@thatdawnperson Order Space Rock today for a cheap & easy alternative to top surgery! #Monsterdon

MOTHER HORTA

#Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

Oh, those innocent days when we didn't know what silicon was for, before we taught it to scream.

#monsterdon

Silicon = trace element

*waves from the future*

#Monsterdon

Holy crap people, stop putting your hands on the death rocks!

#Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

Ah yes Silicon the Most Essential Element for life #Monsterdon

@ranjit its not all dust in the wind ok?

#Monsterdon

One looks lifeless. The other looks like a dog peed in it #monsterdon

#monsterdon It's where Elon Musk came from

Pretty sure both the sands also lack cheese but why aren't we talking about that

#Monsterdon

The answer to my questions also lies buried in those centuries.

#Monsterdon

So, conspiracy theory time…

Let’s go back the teacher confiding in this kid who can’t keep her mouth shut. What if she did this to the kid to make sure she wouldn’t go yapping about her little secret crush?

#Monsterdon

Someone please explain to me how you going to have iron meteors made entirely of silica compounds?

#Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters #scianceBabble

Looks like that chocolate pecan pie went out of control.

#monsterdon

you can't just take this rock for granite

#monsterdon

So much geology... This would work much better as a short story.
#Monsterdon #MonolithMonsters

"Science has never known what the function of Silicon does."

😂 😂 😂

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon
They look a lot like obsidian / volcanic glass to me. I think I would've had the geologist guess that until proven otherwise.

#Monsterdon 🌑 🗿 ☄️ 💎 🌵 😱

These pebbles look ... lifeless! Unlike these other pebbles, which look ... lifeless.

It looks just like Nevada!

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Hang on… the SILICON is MULTIPLYING?? It’s a computer, run for your lives!

Dude that looks like the contents of your ashtray
#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Has anyone noticed that Dave is acting a lot like a county deputy? Why hasn't someone said, "Can it, Dave, you're Bureau of Land Management!"

These rocks ... they're dead! #Monsterdon

Dave is gonna be a stone jedi by the end of this film, probably

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon how is the school teacher still involved

it really is some twilight zone framing to me, but I guess it's just 1950s 4:3 staging?

#monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

@srol Science trench coat = lab coat, but better tailoring.

#Monsterdon

How to tell your movie is from the 50's: police escort #Monsterdon

Shiny rocks are the Werner Herzog rats of this movie #monsterdon

I know I'd seen this movie before long ago, and I remembered it was slow but the special effects were cool. I forgot how long this movie is a slow boring 50s monster movie before the "monster" really shows up.
#Monsterdon #MonolithMonsters

I’m catching up but…. Adventure Through Innerspace narrator!!!

Edit: IE Paul Frees I suck

#monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

fade transiition

pokes rock with a stick

bwahahhahahaha

#monsterdon

Looks like the cops didn’t feed the rocks. When are the geologists gonna start licking like a couple of rock hounds? #monsterdon

@ramsey #Monsterdon It’s equally good at astronomy, geology, AND biology.

#monsterdon ~30:45 this is the first time anyone in any movie we've ever watched has pronounced "Meteor" correctly.

Also catching up with the comments, Dave's name is now canonically "Matte Butte"

dude, I think that might be rock scat

#monsterdon

The set decoration is awesome-some! Just smash up a few back lot houses add some rocks and Bob’s your Uncle!

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Narcos but it's space rock dust

I mean, you don't want to end up like this guy.

#Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters #Farscape

A geologist who sniffs sand. Now we are talking!
#monsterdon

"...this sand smells like kitty litter"

#Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

Ginny lives a very sedimentary lifestyle #Monsterdon

@Vanalope Indeedily-doo, monsterdonerooney! #monsterdon

if the little girl is being turned into a rock why dont they turn to the rocks natural enemy, paper, or idk dynamite, we have options we know how to work with rocks #monsterdon

So, would she have sacrificed any of the "others"?

"Oh, that's Billy. No need to mourn for him."

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon “all the silicates… it’s completely unknown!” Then how do you know it’s silicates?

It’s a stony-IRON meteorite made of only silicates? The USGS would fire this guy so fast he’d become a meteor himself.

"I'm all packed!" The only thing this man needs for travel is his hat. #monsterdon

Nothing more romantic than a cheek-press #monsterdon

That's a different car than he drove to Las Angeles.

#Monsterdon

"stony iron meteorite composed entirely of silicas"

iron =/= silica

*sigh*

But also we can easily determine meteorites by presence of magnetism/orientation of iron, right? I might be confused...

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🌑 🗿 ☄️ 💎 🌵 😱

"It'd be fine if the other children turned to rock, Dave. In fact, they could explode for all I care!"

"Smashed, but in tact.

"Also there's a lady next door. She's.... half-pregnant."

#monsterdon

He wears his clothes in layers. No need for luggage!

#Monsterdon

@strangefour People, please remember to spay and neuter your meteorites! #monsterdon

I've got a lead on 'Oumuamua now

#Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

“Dr. Hendrix says another 8 hours… of rock.” #Monsterdon

Oh man that's not a lot of time to come up with a really sick death pose to stay in for eternity. That's a lot of pressure for a kid

#Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

Pet rocks: don't feed after midnight #Monsterdon

Are they going to solve this with capitalism? Turn the town into a tourist trap, sell the rocks? #monsterdon

"Flanders" , "Simpsons", uh...

#Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

Oh hey, I think I figured out how to de-stone everyone! #Monsterdon

have they considered a trap-neuter-release program? #Monsterdon #monolithmonsters1957

"The most common material you can find and yet everywhere it goes somebody dies" = a trope for our times and I guess most times.

#Monsterdon

Iron lung? #Monsterdon

If you're going to be toting pieces of this rock around put on a face mask at least #monsterdon

Parent meteor? Omg the meteor was pregnant!
#Monsterdon #MonolithMonsters

#Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

@moira well, glass is harder than steel soooo (hardness of 7 oh the Mohs scale

#monsterdon

"But Jenny's dying!"
"We're trying to avoid that."
Well I would hope so.
#monsterdon

Orbiting only for Centuries?! This guy must be a Young Earther.

#monsterdon

HE BROUGHT A ROCK TO THE HOSPITAL?!
#Monsterdon

@nev It's a *something* lung...

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Pele’s curse. Except on the mainland.

Simpson.. Flanders!!

#Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

ah time for the classic woman being "irrational" and the men trying to talk her down #monsterdon

FLANDERSES!?

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Flanders!

“You can see in this skeletal x-ray how it’s affected her chest muscles and blood vessels.”

#Monsterdon

Iron lung, was not expecting that...

#monsterdon

well I'm sure the doctor wants to save the kid, lady

#monsterdon

They got her in an iron lung. #monsterdon

.. or unless you amputate
#Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

was that the police bike siren or did old motorcycles just make noises like that? #monsterdon

@cheribaker "tits", nice 😛

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_tit)

#Monsterdon

@nev No, it's a pressure cooker

#monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

So much black dyed sugar glass, so little time #Monsterdon

@holly no, that's the pressure cooker

#monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

So, I bet you're wondering what this machine does. It sucks all the piss out of her little body.

#monsterdon #monolithmonsters

#Monsterdon 🌑 🗿 ☄️ 💎 🌵 😱

Does this iron lung work vs. stone?

@amyfou@lingo.lol Maybe the Hayes Code didn't allow showing kids dying?

#Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

put her in the softening tube #monsterdon

Wait, an iron lung? How's that gonna help her HAND? #Monsterdon

Her temperature is sub normal? You can't just say she has a cold?

#Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters

Jenny....what do you wanna do with your life?

I WANNA ROCK!

#Monsterdon

"oh no, can you? save her?"

i've seen more passionate acting out of a rock.
