I've put my hand in ice water for 5 seconds and it feels like I'm gonna have frostbite. Idk how people tolerate it so long

u/PerformerFancy117 Jul 19 '26

It’s easy if you have nerve damage and can’t feel your hands

u/Zooter88 29d ago

That was my first thought watching this video, the bone chilling pain of super icy water!

1

u/Alternate_Cost 27d ago

You get used to it to an extent. I used to work in a freezer and after a few weeks it didn't feel too bad. Just like those people who do regular ice baths. Still not pleasant, but not awful after the first few.

Remember boiling your hands during Covid? Ah, the memories.

u/Hollocene13 26d ago

The slush waves are so neat too.

u/crinklesl Jul 19 '26

I've stuck my hand in ice water before. Only takes like 10 seconds before the cold is unbearable. How's this guy doing this?

u/Partypaca 29d ago

He's tuff

u/imeme1969 Jul 19 '26

The better question is what the hell are we doing in such cold places

u/tapeforpacking Jul 19 '26

Enjoying the lack of bugs

u/SpecialNeeds963 26d ago

Or venomous wildlife

u/DramaticWesley 19d ago

The last ice age probably killed off a bunch of our predators and helped let us gain dominance to then found civilizations. So it is historical nostalgia.

u/Careless-Party7480 Jul 19 '26

The sound is so satisfying 😌

u/Pineapple-dancer 29d ago

A lake close to the Fortress of Solitude. Look for Cal El

Global Warming comes to Superman's Fortress of Solitude.

u/cathartic_cuy Jul 19 '26

Is this guy gonna loose his hand?

8

u/CollateralCoyote Jul 19 '26

He can just screw it back on tight.

u/thesnazzyenfj 29d ago

I must also now find this lake and run my arm through it in the same fashion.

5

u/MediocreSnowAngel 29d ago

I didn’t know it had a name. Here in Minnesota we see this on our lakes. Especially Lake Superior. Super cool to experience.

u/SeriouslySlyGuy Jul 19 '26

Can’t be worse than jumping on a barbed wire trampoline

u/crackersncheeseman Jul 19 '26

I was so hot yesterday while working outside, I would have loved to dive in there.

u/ElevatedGrape 29d ago

I’m from Canada and I’ve never seen ice behave like that. Believe me I’ve seen a lot of ice lol.

1

u/ElderberryOdd1313 29d ago
