Reply to comment by Independent-Aerie-42 in LPT: If you want to check the water temperature at the tap, touch the metal tap end instead of putting your hand under the water. by Independent-Aerie-42

I’m not arguing that. I’m arguing that 180 degree water and 180 degree metal do very different things to skin.

I don’t know what it’s called, maybe specific heat capacity, maybe thermal conductivity, I don’t study this shit - but I will tell you from experience that there are temperatures where the water won’t burn you but the metal will.

I mean your attitude toward this is just completely wrong.

In your post you say “I did this thing because some random person I’ve never met and never will made me do it because they did this thing that upset me and that’s why I did it.”

No. Wrong. All of that, wrong.

YOU did that. YOU CHOSE to do that, completely of your own volition.

Nobody can MAKE you behave any certain way, your just trying to absolve yourself of any responsibility for your actions. My dad used to do this shit to us when we were kids. Say awful nasty things and then later offer a veiled apology, but it was more like “I’m sorry I said that, but you guys made me say it by acting like whatever.”

No, man. No. YOU did the thing.

The person hundreds of miles away on the other side of a computer monitor has nothing to do with it. A complete non factor in your equation.

YOU have issues controlling your emotions in the face of negative circumstances, or what YOU perceive as negative circumstances. YOU lash out in inappropriate and destructive ways as a response. YOU need to work on that. Either on your own or with a professional, because I’m willing to put money on the fact that this doesn’t just happen when you’re playing video games, does it?

YOU have some work to do.

Right sure, and while we’re at it let’s rig up a full color digital temperature display, complete with information about the heat tolerances of human skin, safety warnings, information about optimal temperatures for various cooking and cleaning uses, and maybe a button to automatically call medical services. You know, just in case of emergency.

The original advice is more meant for a quick fix kind of scenario. One where you need information fast and you don’t have many tools at your disposal.

Nearly all of the tips on this sub are that way. I really think you’re missing the point.

Eh… except water and metal conduct heat completely differently, and the temp you feel on the tap is going to be significantly different than the temp of the water coming out, at least from a touch/sensation/tolerance standpoint.

I’ll give an example of an old laundry room sink I had growing up in my childhood home. That water came out hot as shit if you wanted it to, just full blast on the hot handle.

Now - you could stick your hand in that water no problem, but if you touched the fixture it was WAY too hot to touch, would burn the shit out of you.

So I don’t think this is accurate, or even safe advice.
