Maybe more like extremely painful into no pain. The pain would be overwhelming any sensation and you’d quickly destroy any receptors in the area plunged, is what I’m saying.
My man you aren't supposed to release need to know information like this on the internet smh. Going to get lemmy shutdown.
Yeah the only thing I'm wondering about is whether you'd actively feel the pain before the receptors are destroyed. Not sure the brain would start interpreting the catastrophic receptor firing as pain in time for it to matter before the signals just shut down.
I would be more concerned about phantom pain.
Sure, your fried receptors are not firing anymore; but your head may interpret the absence of any sensory input as pain.
Only one way to know for sure...
From an evolutionary standpoint I can see how that would be beneficial, which is why those people that don't feel pain at all hurt themselves badly as kids, but it would be nice to lose an arm and orgasm every time my brain decided to do inventory.
My friend burned through his finger with a welding torch. He said he didn't feel anything until he took the glove off and saw the carnage.
One time I accidentally touched my hand against an active coil at the top of a 450° oven. I heard the noise, felt the contact, and smelled the hair on my hand, but there was absolutely no pain or burning sensation. The burn was pretty bad and the mark is still visible. Never hurt at all though.
I'd think being close enough to any amount of lava large enough to plunge your arm into would be putting off a considerable amount of heat. Even if you damage your arm enough to not feel it, the rest of you is gonna be pretty uncomfortable from the radiant heat.
Yeah you know, lava-y
So, gonorrhea. But a lot and suddenly and for the forearm.
"Plunging"? I call BS, isn't lava way too thick for that?
Your mom's too thick to plunge
Thank God I have a snake!
But what if that anaconda don't want none?
I keep coming back and laughing at your comment. I literally only had a drain snake on my mind.
Boom roasted.
I’m pretty sure you’d lose more than just your arm if you were close enough to lava to “plunge” any sort of member into it.
Lava is typically 1300 F/700 C. Just exposure to the heated air around it would instantly burn you all over
Am Anikin. Can confirm.
Did you try spinning?
That's a good trick.
Whoopee!
You can actually walk on some lava (with boots.)
Imagine slipping
Nah I've been a few feet from flowing lava. It's really really hot, but not like, instant death hot.
A few feet, eh? Move one big step closer and tell me how it feels
You can do this for yourself at Volcano national Park in Hawai'i. If they still let people into the lava field. We got close enough to poke the new lava with sticks. It's tolerable unless you make the mistake of standing directly over it. Also if you go take flashlights, it's no fun trying to navigate a lava field by moonlight.
I work at a blast furnace, you can get alarmingly close to liquid iron before you are permanently injured.
Thank you and your apprentices for quantifying this threshold.
It's fine as long as you have the high ground.
Yeah. It's molten rock. You can't sink or plunge into it.
Just like you can't plunge your arm into melted ice... xD
Hot.
Thank you Philip J Fry
Professor! Lava! Hot!
Ahh "burny" "melty"
“My leg was in half, my bone was sticking out,” he told KHON. “There was blood squirting out.”
Doctors at the Hilo Medical Center were able to save Clinton’s leg, and he’s been ordered to stay off of it for six weeks, the outlet reported.
Jesus christ.
Man who still has both arms gives two thumbs up to lava guy.
Smugly.
Damn, I hope he finds it again!
I guess, after an instant, all nerves responsible for pain are just vaporized by the lava so it would feel numb or like nothing at all.
I'm guessing he still feels quite dumb, though. Nothing will help that pain go away.
