Comment on Temperature sensitivity feels like it should distinct

Not directly related but your comment reminded me of it: did you know you can hear a difference in hot vs cold water?

And I don’t mean that as a general, “one can learn to hear it,” I mean it as, “this is a skill you probably have that you likely never realized you have.” (Unless you have also seen this video or something like it.)

You can also hear the difference between crispy and crunchy! And how full a bottle is of water as you fill it!

  Or how full an opaque bottle of water is when you pick it up, just by feeling how it sloshes inside the container. Our brains are doing some serious math

    I had a friend observe that you don’t have to consciously understand complex math to be able to predict the trajectory of a ball.

I mean… I can hear the difference between boiling water and ice shifting so I guess that’s true? 🤔

  Not what I’m referring to. When pouring water into a cup, it makes a sound. And that sound is different if the water is hot vs cold. And you probably intuitively can tell the difference, even if you’ve never thought about it before.
