The water turns into a protective layer of steam. Seeing as I recently burned the poo poo out of my hand by steam when making a cup of tea, I'm not about to put my trust into that.

"Tiny Trains"

My friend's family used to keep a small glass of some sort of incredibly nasty blue cleaning chemical next to the sink for scrubbing pots and the like. One night at a very drunken party someone thought it was some fancy mix drink in a shot glass and downed it like a shot. They spent some time in the hospital for that and couldn't talk for a couple weeks.

Specially when drunks are about, maybe don't keep incredibly caustic cleaning agents in shot glasses on kitchen counters. (Also don't randomly down drinks you don't know anything about)

I worked at a restaurant with a man who was ejected from a vehicle and slid to a stop on his hands/wrists. Totally numb hands while maintaining normal dexterity. I thought he was bullshitting about the lack of feeling until I saw him casually lay down some food into a fryer and drag his fingernails through the 375° grease.
He wasn't allowed on the line after that.

my great-uncle, who was a farmer his entire life, had essentially no feeling in his hands through some combination of massive calluses and repeated accidents, and on multiple occasions i saw him do poo poo like pull metal trays of food out of a 350-degree oven without even appearing to notice

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leidenfrost_effect

ironically the condition is "the hotter the better." you need the water on your hand to flash into steam fast enough to protect your skin, so you need a shitload of thermal energy in whatever it is you're sticking your hand into. you can try the leidenfrost effect experimentally in a safer way by scattering water onto a hot frying pan: at hot-but-not-super-hot temperatures the water will just stay in place and boil, but if you crank it up enough the droplets will skitter around instead.

molten lead is hot enough to do that. lava is hot enough. fryer oil is not. oops


actually quite safe; the saw he's using has no teeth, just abrasive grit. touching it is comparable to touching a (slow-moving) disc sander. not a great idea but unlikely to even break the skin unless you push hard.

From experience on belt sanders, they'll abrade your skin enough to feel like a light burn, but it's not gonna tear your fingats off. Wearing bandaids makes sense, just for comfort reasons.

It's safe, as long as you remember to spit it out. Don't swallow it.

Bad things happened to someone who did.

In my undergrad physics textbook there was an essay from one of the authors who used to do that, along with the dipping of hand into molten lead. He had to stop putting liquid nitrogen in his mouth after some hit his teeth one day. He found out that tooth enamel and fillings might have similar thermal properties in the normal temperature range. In the range around liquid nitrogen temperature they have very different coefficients of thermal expansion. After rebuilding his mouth his dentist told him very sternly to never do it again.

When I had a fast food job 20 years ago some guy just flat out stuck his hand in the hot oil to get something that fell in. I suspect the oil wasn't full temperature because he only had 1st-2nd degree burns but he was in some serious pain. It wasn't even his stuff that fell in it was like a kitchen utensil or something.

He was from Texas.

Jearl Walker (I had the same book). He was famous for doing those classroom demos. He also got a good burn from the molten lead demonstration when a drop of lead stuck to the underside of this thumbnail.

As for drinking liquid nitrogen, just really don't. And especially don't put it in cocktails.

I worked with a guy called Fire Marshall Bill who had a nice trick: clean a fryer and dump a bucket of warm water in it. Get to talking with a new server and "slip" into the water. Never the same reaction twice!

We had 'Little Boy Jeff'.
Me and my cousins were on a construction site both our parents were working on (good old 80s-90s after school care right?) playing with knives. Jeff who worked for my uncle took a flick knife off me and exclaimed 'little boys shouldn't play with knives'. Then proceeded in his anger to try and palm the knife closed, but had it the other way and sliced his palm wide open. He also destroyed a few new work trucks and got burns around his FUPA thanks to the combination of an untied shoe and a few meat pies.

I dated a girl who broke a glass while washing dishes and cut her thumb on it. It was completely numb between the base and the knuckle. I even bit it as hard as I dared once to test, and she didn't flinch a bit. It's gotta be weird to have a part of your skin that you just can't feel.

I know I'm late to reply but rather than being fully numb my finger has decreased sensation and only on one side of my finger. Each finger has two nerves that run down each side to give sensation. I only went through one nerve and not both. Because it was a workers comp claim it got assessed to see what my finger could actually feel. A normal and healthy finger can feel two seperate points when they are 3mm apart. The side of my finger where I cut the nerve can't feel two sperate points until they are 7mm apart so it's twice as much as a normal finger.

It equated to 80% damage to my finger but only 20% of my hand as it's my index finger and a thumb is worth 40% if you destroy it. I got a tiny insurance payout because it equated to 2% permenant disability that I still feel 10 years down the road and will continue to feel going forward.

Being a work injury in Australia that workplace will get inspected if the worker is ever expected to return and they basically do a WHS inspection of the place in a similar manner to OSHA to ensure that the environment is suitable for the returning worker but I get the feeling he isn't going back to work at that place ever again.

I'm a stereotypical goony city boy in his 30s. Any power tool with a sharp edge terrifies me. I got my first drill 2 years ago. The first time I used a spade bit was a week ago, while I was learning how to pull electrical wires. I only learned how to mount drywall this summer. Spackle is a relatively new concept for me. I'm pretty sure my mere presence on a job site is an OSHA violation. My FIL once asked me to fetch some plywood and I grabbed a 2x4 in my ignorance.

I used a diamond saw about 2 years ago to cut some granite for a craft project and I didn't manage to hurt myself, so I think that's a testament to how safe they are. This is coming from the person who's clumsy enough to get sent to urgent care over a cheese grater.
