Which is more painful?

• Answer #1

  Much, much more painful to bathe in boiling hot water - because its basically burning & cooking you. Freezing cold water is much less of a temperature difference from normal than boiling hot water is, and it will be really cold but not painful.

  In Russia, once a year they cut a hole in the ice on a lake, and you jump in and swim (naked) for a bit then jump out as a part of some traditional festival. You're cold, but you survive with no real harm. If you tried doing something similar with boiling water, chances are everyone would end up either dead, or in hospital for a long time.
