Years ago I did a different version: getting out of a very hot jacuzzi then jumping into a snow bank. 'Worth a try. Once.
That’s basically how you’re supposed to do sauna in Finland
And it is amazing! Especially further north in like -20°C
Yeah, it’s pretty good!
I love sitting neck-deep in an outdoor hot tub on a cold day!
Pretty sure this is a QueenSnake video.
None of that is true though.
What is the truth then? I’m curious.
Certainly not your username ahaa
Science
Reminds me of the Exploratorium in San Francisco. They have an exhibition that has a long rail with metal coil wrapped around it. On one side, the coils are warm to the touch. On the other side, they’re cold to the touch. In the middle of the rail, the coils alternate hot-cold-hot-cold, and when I first touched it, my reflexes yanked my hand away because the nerves interpreted it as “so hot the ‘burned nerves’ feel cold”. Took a few attempts to be able to hold my hands there, and the sensation was very confusing. Would recommend+
We mammals, and only we mammals, have nerve receptors capsaicin triggers. Birds don’t have such receptors. They happily chow peppers and poop the whole seeds all over.
Meanwhile, we mammals, who are supposed to hate the heat because we grind the seeds to death, have happily bred hotter and hotter peppers and spread them all over the planet.
I know of no such evolutionary win-win as peppers have pulled off. Genius.
Truly “mission failed successfully”
This is not new and it does work to some extent. Back in highschool my buddies and I used to cheat at hot wings challenges by chewing a few cough drops first.
In a very traditional Afghan restaurant I used to frequent, if you ordered something really spicy, they’d bring you these small mint drops afterwards to chew on, no extra charge. Worked very well for me.
I’m love to experience with different heat sensation when cooking. Every pepper is warming slightly differently and you can change the whole tasting experience by change the “heat source” of a dish. Recently, I’ve tasted Sichuan pepper and it what actually cold! And a cold very different from mint. Although round-leave mint and pepper mint (here another plant called pepper that’s cold!) have different sensation as well. I should try experiment with cold as well (*_*)
“they’ll each other out”
How has no one commented on this?
Because we can it without needing all the words
I literally did not notice. My brain just filled it in for me.
Because our brains are amazing and can just fill out the missing word while reading. It sometimes makes us miss obvious errors like that.
That wouldn’t make for good programmers or proofreaders or autists I guess.
That’s why we invented ide’s with linters
News: A recent Internet trend has people forming hurricanes in their mouths!
I enjoy this.
No, this is cursed knowledge. I will have to try it now.
Rub A535 or Icy-Hot on your tender bits.
For science.
I’m more of a tiger balm on the starfish kinda guy
According to this theory, if I make Buldag ramen using boiling Listerine, it will be tasteless.
