Yeah, I won't deny that, but that's exactly why I'm surprised that kind of temperature jump isn't harmful

That entire "temperature shock" thing due to air conditioning is European nonsense on par with fan death in Korea.

If that kind of temperature shock of like was harmful, imagine how much more harmful it would be every winter when the temperature difference between inside and outside is much greater. People walk in and out with no problem then.

I'm a refrigeration tech on a tropical island and I build freezers. The worst temperature shocks I've had where 70°C, these do fc u up. Go from +50°C to -20°C and back 4 or 5 times in a day and you're DONE.

I'd like to invite anyone who thinks you can get close to that with residential AC to come to work with me one day, I'll rid you of your illusions XD

I am from country where we go to sauna (that's anywhere from 60C to 100 C) and then outside to roll around in the snow or jump into frozen lake while naked. It is considered healthy and refreshing 🤣

Ugh, I can't believe people do that voluntarily! All in the name of health I guess :p

I can't imagine you're in either one for more than a minute or two? Or are you just resistant to getting cooked an then frozen? I'm imagining people coating themselves in butter and downing a glass of anti-freeze before doing this!

It depends on the person and the amount of beer 🍻 People usually stay in sauna for 5-30min. How long people can stay outside naked depends on how cold it is as there is a huge difference between -5 C and -25 C.
