Upvoted for being dumbass

How does this even work if you eat somewhere that doesn’t have a fridge for you to cool your food below room temperature? What’s wrong with you that you “always” burn your tongue even at nonburning temps?

❤️

Amazing! Thank you for sharing your stone cold truth!

I don't enjoy my food cold and I'm not autistic. So yeah, I think they might be on to something.

I love cold Pizza and cold fried chicken. That's where I draw the line unless it's food that is meant to be served cold/room temp.

Rice.

Sitting here with my tongue hurting from some hot tea... 🤔

Yeah that's kinda fucking wack. I guess if you want cold food that's the fastest way or something but still, unhinged

You think cereal is better cold?!

There really are a lot of strange people on the internet. 😏 /s

I do disagree and you have my upvote. Just had a nice bowl of chili, pretty hot in both senses of the word, toast and hot coffee for breakfast.

A cool refreshing salad, sure. Sandwich is good cold (except grilled cheese). Cold french fries suck, cold scrambled eggs are horrible.

Thank you for your unsettling opinion.

I love unsweet iced green tea, more than hot green tea. Yum.

That rocks.

This raises further questions for me, since I'm a wanna-be coffee afficianado. You get much lower extraction at lower temperatures, with both coffee and tea. Do you grind coffee finer to compensate, or do you just enjoy weaker beverages? Also, do you mean room temperature, tap-water cold, or actually chilled? How do you make coffee (and tea)? Thank you in advance!

I consider both of those to be completely different foods from their hot versions. It's always hard for me to decide if I want the leftovers heated up or not.

Sushi though.

Yep. Bubble tea is the superior form of all tea. Taiwan fucking perfected tea. Everyone else is living in denial.

I do not have Matrix unfortunately. 🫣 I don't have much time to maintain online relationships these days. I mostly scroll and comment here. 😊 But feel free to write me here anytime you want to chat!

That kind of rice is still chewy when cold. I was thinking long grain rice, which has a horrible cold texture.

You must really like Cold Stone Creamery and Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Well...about that...
He pulls the pizza (frozen, store-bought) out of the oven, sets it on a wooden cutting board, and says "EAT" very loudly, in my general direction. I don't, because it's fucking hot, I can tell with just my fingers. When I tell him it's too hot, he literally yells "EAT IT WHILE IT'S HOT" at me and seems...tbh, irrationally pissed off. When I protest further, he calls me "Perverse". When he's eating it himself...istg his mouth is already pre-burnt, because he's clearly burning his mouth (watery eyes, strange slurping noises, ew), but he just keeps eating it? As soon as he sits down? Strange...
I can handle being yelled at (less so with HRT now), but when he does this to my brother, it really pisses me off. There is literally zero to be such a massive douchebag TOWARDS YOUR OWN CHILDREN nonetheless. It's just...idk. He's 78, I'm 20 and my brother is 16. Sure, there's a huge generational difference, but I swear sometimes it feels like he's from a different planet.
And he's generally very progressive and liberal, but sometimes his brain's "empathy center" shuts down and he goes full (pardon me) "logical man-mode", where feelings don't exist and the only thing that does is solving a problem, logically without considering anyone's emotions. And he gets really monotone, he yells, he mocks people...he's not fun to be around :/
But he also supports me financially, going to great lengths to ensure we have what we need. Without him, I wouldn't be able to get bottom surgery in Thailand...

I'm really totally rambling, I'm sorry. Just need to get it out sometimes.

That was my first thought too. Definitely not medical advice, though.

I have a coffee machine, so I make a pot of coffee, pour myself some, straight into the fridge with that mug. When it's cold, I add milk and drink it almost like a shot, all at once. I'm just weird like that...
With tea, I of course prepare it with hot water. Then remove the teabag, straight into the fridge. When it's cold, I enjoy my tea :3

"Stone cold" usually describes a facial expression, not a temperature.

always letting it cool down way below room temperature

You can't let something cool below room temperature as it would just reach equilibrium at room temperature. You have to actively cool it (like put it in a fridge) to cool it below room temperature.

Making coffee/tea like normal, then chilling it makes a lot more sense, with your specific preference. Iced coffee is also arguably the least unpopular part of your proclivities. Still not for me, but you go on with your cool self!

Stone cold describes temperature just as often. Right??

Not that I'm aware of.

According to Merriam-Webster's dictionary, its first entry is literal, with figurative use second.

stone-cold

"1 : completely cold"

So yes, it is absolutely used to describe temperature.

Sensory differences are a thing. Although I doubt OP literally "burns" their tongue on luke-warm foods, it's possible OP has a sensory difference that makes warm food more difficult to tolerate, or possibly even painful.

For me, my brain interprets certain light touches as "painful." I can tolerate having my hairs pulled out one-by-one and feel fine, but touch me in the wrong spot with a feather and I'll scream. I can easily imagine other people may have crossed wires in their nervous system somewhere that make certain temperature sensations on a sensitive tongue feel painful.

That's incorrect. Evaporative cooling may reduce the temperature beyond room temp, depending on how much moisture is available on the food.

Sure, but only a few degrees and only temporarily.

I hope you have a happy life, I reflexively dislike you

I've come here to defend my mouth :3
It's not cold, it's actually very warm, thank you very much!
You could ask my bf tho, my witness... @MiishaBf@lemmy.blahaj.zone

😂 Fair enough!

I have now removed you from my "no-receive-blow-job-from" list. I will admit your bf as a credible witness.

😁

(No offense, just kidding around!)

None taken, that's actually really funny 🤣
Thanks! ❤️
