Reply to comment by tyjtyjrhbdf in 16 stories beneath midtown Manhattan, NYC by PonyEnglish

Manhattan exists and is able to support all the buildings in such close proximity because of the bedrock known as Manhattan schist. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattan#Bedrock

There are several places where the schist rises above the ground, or outcroppings so you can see what lies beneath. New York is essentially built on a rocky mountain.

Oh no, do you find what these people are saying offensive? Better get a lawyer and drag them through the quartz.

No one is talking. You're schistophrenic.

I took a geology class once, and the professor told us the word to describe the intensity of the schist pattern in a rock is schistocity.
