The Psychology of Lava Lamps

A brief photographic study of lava lamp states, plus some tips and links that will help you build a more reciprocal and long-lasting relationship with your lava-ey pal.

The States of Lava

My Lava Lamp, like all Lava Lamps, goes through several states before reaching “Lava”. It has been my experience that some are quick to judge and become critical, when in fact it is their patience that is at issue.

Following are four of the discrete states of Lava: Cold, Earwax, Snot and Lava.

Ok, ever since I started this guide, my lava lamp has been a popular topic of conversation at the office. With all this new attention, it seems to have acquired aspirations beyond its station. It has been expressing itself in ways that can at least be described as “sculptural” and may represent a primitive form of communication.

I will try to get an example on film.

Man Killed by Lava Lamp

You can read the story and judge for yourself. Based on my experience, this was no accident. While the lava lamp may have very little intelligence, it does seem to be a spiteful little device.

Ok, I know Google is trying to commercialize it, but isn’t YouTube pretty much a global platform for annoying your parents?

Comforting Link

On the one hand, I find this article comforting, as I know I only rate in the middle of the obsession scale. On the other hand, it makes me sad for Landon Noll and his friends. If he thinks his lava lamp is behaving randomly, imagine what his lava lamp must be thinking!

If you and your lava lamp are also having a tough time seeing eye-to-eye, this may be the place for you. Not exactly “couples therapy”, but it is a place where you can freely express your love.
