Q. G. Pennyworth

We have an adjective that we use almost exclusively for lava. YOU ALREADY SAID IT'S LAVA, BRO, WE DON'T NEED A SECOND WORD THAT YOU ONLY USE FOR LAVA TO DESCRIBE THE LAVA-NESS OF THE LAVA.

LMNO

No, you see, when the phrase "molten lava" is used, it means that the lava has shed most of its feathers.

Cain

I thought it meant it was lava made from barley.

Don Coyote

How do you feel about liquid hot magma?

LMNO

How about magma with frickin lasers attached to it?

Don Coyote

How about lasers with fricken basses attached to them?

The Wizard Joseph

How about basses powered by malten lava?

Life can be seen as a game with no reset button, no extra lives, and if the power goes out there is no restarting.  If that's all you see life as you are not long for this world, and never will get it.

Also, there is no need to add the word "machine" after "ATM". The 'M' already has that covered.
Formerly something else...

Look if I want to stick my CAC card into the ATM machine, punch in my PIN number to withdraw some cash, then that is my right as an American.

Molten is also much the proper word to describe the heated fillings of microwavable burritos and hot pockets.

The shame I would feel at having bought a hot pocket would preclude speech ever again.

Well, yes, as you are comparing them to lava.

Appropriately.
