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.
No, you see, when the phrase "molten lava" is used, it means that the lava has shed most of its feathers.
I thought it meant it was lava made from barley.
How do you feel about liquid hot magma?
How about magma with frickin lasers attached to it?
How about lasers with fricken basses attached to them?
How about basses powered by malten lava?
Also, there is no need to add the word "machine" after "ATM". The 'M' already has that covered.

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.

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

I was under the impression that once lava solidified it was no longer lava but basalt. I may be mistaken. The internet isn't doing a fantastic job of clearing this up for me :/

Words like a'a, pahoehoe, and other words for cooled lava that weren't invented by Hawaiians, can be referred to as "lava." For clarity, especially when talking to people who aren't huge nerds, "lava rock" is a common term. A place that has been covered in lava rock is often called a lava field.
Basalt is indeed cooled lava, but not all lava forms basalt when it cools. If the lava is basaltic, or mafic, in composition (low in quartz and feldspar, high in iron minerals), it will form a basalt. This is the kind of lava that you get in Hawaii, it's the runny kind that flows and ruins your lawn.
If the lava is felsic (high in feldspar and quartz), it'll form non-basaltic rocks like rhyolite (which is chemically the same as granite) or obsidian. This kind of lava is much less runny and is the kind that forms fragments and pyroclastic flows. Pompeii got owned by this kind of lava, although by the time it got to them it had cooled into ash.
tl;dr using the word "molten" is ok if the context doesn't make it clear that you're talking about the hot stuff.
See? English language saved from hoodlums by SCIENCE.

The numbers thing isn't important. What IS important is that our language was saved from Nigel and QG's hooliganry. If left unchecked, there's NO LIMIT to what those two Mind Gangsters will get up to. Nigel is Orkadian, from Orkney, which is like Ireland but smaller, and QG is from Boston, which is Ireland only bigger. They average out to Irish, so they hate the English. Which is why they're always fucking with the language and telling us what isn't a sandwich.
When Donald Trump is elected, both will be sent BACK WHERE THEY CAME FROM, and the world (ie, the USA) will once again be safe for philosophy majors.
So when I'm placing an order for a couple of million gallons of lava (for perfectly innocent purposes, I might add) I should specify "molten"?
Glad we got that cleared up before I made a complete arse of myself with Operation English Surprise

Crate said "DANGER: THIS END UP" for a reason. The liability is all on the carrier clearly, your honor.
What about "apposable (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/apposable)" [sic], that's way more of a one-trick pony than "molten"
That said, there's also places where English makes more sense than other languages. We don't refer to inanimate objects as "he" or "she" or the equivalent thereof (except in regard to boats), for example.

It distinguishes it from the abbreviation for "at the moment".
(ALSO, why does nobody else ever bring up points similar to this in regard to the phrase "D.C. Comics" which is also similarly redundant as D.C. in this context stands for "Detective Comics". Like "ATM Machine" however this redundancy also serves a purpose as it distinguishes it from the abbreviation for "District of Columbia")

Same.
