Comment on If only it was like that
Resol@lemmy.world 6 months agoI’ve never been to a sauna before, but are you guys okay with boiling yourselves and then immediately freezing yourselves? Doesn’t that seem very painful? Are you guys used to being Wim Hof all the time?
100°C is a quite hot one. It could hurt your nose and ears a bit, especially if they having a steaming session.
The cold water (normally ~10°C) does not hurt at all. The first minute your brain is not able to differentiate the temperature at all. After that it gets quite quickly into: ohh I should leave!
Btw: you should try sauna at some point. Especially with the steaming it’s amazing. There are also milder ones with ~80°C, I would recommend at the start.
100°C is nice. And what’s a steaming session? Throwing water onto the rocks for steam every now and then is just standard operating procedure.
Hmm, I think I’d rather try that at some point.
Yes. It’s wonderful. It feels great physically and mentally. Wim Hoff is a bit crazy tho tbh
Good for you.
Wim Hof, the guy who ahredded his intestines by giving himself an enema from a public water fountain while waiting to meet his estranged son?
Wait, he actually did that???
You don’t actually start boiling at 100C lol
Yeah I might be kinda dumb sometimes

The thing to remember is that air is a great insulator. Air at 100°C isn’t nearly as bad as say water or metal at the same temperature against the skin. In fact, the air that comes in contact with the comparatively cold human skin will cool down rapidly, lessening the sensation of heat further.
