protip: hot glass looks the same as cold glass

Not always, but once it starts looking different we’ve moved past asking what degree the burn is and into “do you keep the appendage that touched it?”

If you went to the hospital in the back seat of a car? The glass looked room temperature.

Haha. Great analogy. Too true.

[–] captainlezbian 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yeah I think people can get tripped up by the fact that glass does glow red when it’s melty. Don’t fight that thought, lean into it, explain just how wildly hot glass needs to be before it looks any different and what that will do to the biology that touches it

This is the way.

Yep. I've told many people this.

I've also succumbed to confusing that schlenk connector that was just in a flame with the cold one.
