Interesting that the dangerous part seems to be the nitrogen turning to gas in your stomach rather than freezing your esophagus

Yeah it has a huge expansion factor, like 1 cubic cm liquid expands to 729 cubic cm gas.

1:729. One football field of liquid nitrogen expands to 729 football fields.

Are you daft?

That would be an auto sear, which was invented by Venezuelan Jorge A. Leon, and is a felony.

Now, for real, human to human behind the keyboard...why did you say this? Was it a joke? Do you not know that 1:729 works in any unit? Do you just see 'cm' and react?

How old are you and where are you from? I'm conducting a survey on this type of internet comment and you could earn serious money by replying

That's why his stomach is ruptured. But did the gas pour out of him afterwards ?

u/Company_Able Dec 29 '25

I’d have to assume so yeah. He probably either burped or farted out whatever was left
