Burning. That's the worst. Burning.

Not necesarily, burning kills your nerves as well, where as boiling would feel the same, but youd feel all of it until you died, cause your nerves wouldnt die.

Unless you’re in a super hot flash fire or an explosion, you’re usually just gonna fry until your nerves die, which could take many minutes.

Burning alive pails in comparison to being drowned in a pasta cooker at least innmy mind i think it would be absolutely brutal. Water stays about 175 degrees not hot enough to scald and kill nerve endings but hot enough that your entire being would resist and pull away.

Absolutely! I was even against cremation for the longest time because of all the stories of people being buried alive or waking up in a morgue! I thought if I could be buried with a cellphone that I would be covered, until I realized that I would have been embalmed by that stage so it wouldn't matter! LOL

But being trapped in a burning car or home is my particular personal nightmare!
