Orthosilicic acid is the main form of bioavailable silicon, and it plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy skin, hair, nails, and bones. It is involved in collagen synthesis, bone formation, and mineralization. Supplementation with orthosilicic acid has potential anti-aging effects and can improve skin elasticity, hydration, and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. #monsterdon
@plaidtron3000 I suspect after this film your brain will be smashed, but intact. #monsterdon
#Monsterdon One obligatory βSilicon does not work that way!!!β
Itβs what makes the skin flexible, if youβre a realdoll #Monsterdon #monolithmonsters1957
science has never known what the function of silicon was
we don't even know who invented it
We were the silicon based life forms all along!
Time to go meteor hunting in scenic death valley.
#Monsterdon #MonolithMonsters
SILICON DOES NOT MAKE THE SKIN FLEXIBLE WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS
They seem to be taking all these rocks for granite
Itβs like tribblesβbut glass! #Monsterdon
REMOVING SILICATE FROM THINGS DOESN'T TURN THEM TO STONE. QUITE THE OPPOSITE
FUCK MY BRAIN WITH A FORK
excuse me the fuck did he say? did he just say that rock looked lifeless? like it was an obvious quality for a rock to have? and others dont look lifeless? #monsterdon
Colour out of Space vibes on how the rocks are changing their environment and spreading damage
FEEL the rocks, Dave, be ONE with the rocks! #Monsterdon
@Lazarou Easy fix for that, get turned into a rock
It's way harder to break a heart that is rock
Monsterdon and Hashtag games crossing the streams tonight.
Are the rocks launching themselves at stuff to smash the houses?
Oh wait, never mind, this rock is just a dried turd. #monsterdon
"See the difference?"
"Colour. This looks strange."
Great insight from our man from the Bureau of the Interior.
#Monsterdon i like how nowadays movies would have men in hazmat suits collect Ginny but back then they just put her in a car and took her to an eye doctor
@Newpa_Hasai I'm gonna guess no
So we've seen the Simpson house and now we're consulting Flanders?!
#Monsterdon showing that someone's hands have turned to stone is less impressive in black & white
Eight hours - we've got a deadline folks.
#monsterdon You can't scream "rock" in a crowded hospital
... why does a geologist have skeletal charts on his wall?
"The answer to your question lies buried in those centuries." What are you talking about?
Everyone's manhandling the death rocks like they aren't murdering the populace... #Monsterdon
@rallias "The first widely used device was the iron lung, developed by Philip Drinker and Louis Shaw in 1928. Initially used for coal gas poisoning treatment, the iron lung gained fame for treating respiratory failure caused by polio in the mid-20th century. " This is a 1957 movie. #Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters
So it turns water into silica? Is this some kind of philosopher's stone?
Stony. iron. Meteorite. Made entirely silicates. You realize those words don't work like that, right?
Geologists wrote this #Monsterdon
"...is this the rock?"
"No, this is The Rock."
Incrediddly-dible! - professor Flanders
FLANDERS?!
"Is that the rock?" "Yeah, I've been using it to shave." #Monsterdon
after all this, no one seems to worry about touching the rocks with their bare hands
#monsterdon 70's scifi parrochians be like: We need to send these to the best team of scientists. Only knowledge will save us.
2020's scifi parrochians be like: we elected the alien rock in Elections fair and square let's gooo
I dunno, maybe chop her stone hand off and hope this works like zombies?
#Monsterdon #MonolithMonsters
Will the *rock* keep spreading
Negative cleavage?
Yeah, take a look!

Wow they're pulling out all the stops here
"i can't cope with something I don't understand."
SIR.
#monsterdon
#Monsterdon An iron lung for her petrified body. The irony is palpable.
The Medusa Meteorites #Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters
Is that an iron lung??? #Monsterdon
Doctor Hendrix, would you please tell us about rock? #monsterdon
The thing I don't get is why none of these men are smoking #monsterdon
is an iron lung supposed to help when your skin is turning to stone??? #monsterdon
@Newpa_Hasai IMDB says Ginny
Iron Lung... of course, because Polio was a thing back then.
#Monsterdon shock can be a mercy. Especially if I donβt find my pants and my belt. Poor girl.
Jenny is more durable than a grown man. #monsterdon
#Monsterdon 1950s scifi movies: we are going to teach you a lot of random science trivia! Like silicate rock names!
Dr. Jimmy Hendrix
#Monsterdon The minerals and rocks that he named are real words. Thatβs as geological as it gets.
"The most common material you can find, but wherever it goes, people die." Then maybe use basic PPE?
#Monsterdon #TheMonolithMonsters
#Monsterdon She's going to be a weeping angel, isn't she?
#Monsterdon Anyone else think the two best looking people in this movie will get together?
But, like, holy crap those two are good looking! They should call this movie Mannequin Alive!
#TheMonolithMonsters
whelp it's ice-9, been nice knowin' ya
Negative cleavage? I didn't know of such a thing!
Silicates, sure, but it sounds like the rocks are all over in terms of basaltic vs granitic?
"Let's go look for obsidian in the dark. Makes sense" #Monsterdon
Chert, feldspar, Sleepy, Dopey... #Monsterdon
Negative cleavage? π€
please for the love of god let the villain of the movie be positive cleavage #monsterdon
We'll giver some 'shots' and see what happens
Well the cop is a dead man
@wohali trying to take a blood sample but you just get a tube full of gravel
is this a Them! crossover?
"Sometimes shock is a good thing."
Yeah, trauma is good. It's healthy. It's like cigarettes. It's good for you. π
I feel like a modern movie would have made her eyes look like they were the same material as the rock and it would maybe have been as creepy? But maybe not, because the total lack of response of the kid is pretty creepy.
Back. Oh my god, this scene set at night actually looks like it was filmed at night.
I mean it was probably filmed on a soundstage, but damn doe sit look more like night than your average #Monsterdon night scene
#Monsterdon The title βThe Medusa Monolithsβ was right there, and they left it on the table. Tsk.
get the kid to the hospital's rock ward
Maybe trying to show someone turned to stone wasn't the easiest thing to do in a black and white movie guys. Just shoving a rock shard in there chest would have looked better on camera.
#Monsterdon #MonolithMonsters
Oh thank the gods, no more political ads during #Monsterdon for a while.
Rock me once... don't get rocked again.
Another child scared to catatonia? It's THEM all over again!
#Monsterdon #MonolithMonsters
#Monsterdon they're mad about the decades of rock collecting geologists
Oh no, the kids in this one horse town are getting stoned! I told you we needed a skate park. #Monsterdon
Jenny has seen some shit, obviously.
Oh, looks like it managed not to drown by drinking up all the water and becoming a big boy rock. #monsterdon
Looks like Jenny was shocked into a stony silence by all that obsidian.
Well, the Simpsons are dead. Good job, Ginny.
if this house is a'rockin, don't come a'knockin ( from @RobynGoodfellow lol )
oh no, the kid is stoned!
#Monsterdon βBen is so hard, Iβve had a hell of an afternoon. Manβ¦ I never thought Iβd be so bowlegged! Ben is one amazing hot date!β
#Monsterdon I suspect something bad happened to Ginny, but I wouldnβt want to take her for granite.
Looks like my kid's bedroom #monsterdon
For a movie made in the 50s, I'm not seeing many people smoking cigarettes.
Dang, look at all those rocks!
#Monsterdon
