Nope.Hymn of Ragnarok said:Then I must be misremembering the tidbit I heard. I'm just recalling something about a McDonald's court case where apparently the details were over-inflated. This or that story about some person who ate nothing but McDonald's for a month?
I included a link to the wiki article; the lady spilled 80-some degree Celsius coffee on her genitals and upper thighs, requiring skin grafts.
Nothing at all frivolous about this.
Uh, no actually.Hymn of Ragnarok said:I am cognizant of how that much heat would be harmful, even pointed it our myself in a roundabout fashion. Maybe I undersold scalds and their potential to be bad. IIRC their main danger is that as a liquid it's hard to remove from a person and therefore sits in easier, but generally speaking they are not at these kinds of temperatures and they'll heal up fine like everything else. All types of burnscan scar, but the human body is pretty damned good at fixing itself up.
Scalds are terribad because they contain more thermal energy per degree Celsius than air or.
Especially when you're talking about a liquid with dissolved solutes, like a liquefied human body.
Wiki specific heat capacity; you'll find that pure water has 4x the heat capacity of air by mass, and like 4000x times by volume.
And other liquids are worse.
When you take that much energy and put it in direct contact with human skin, very bad things happen.
The fact that Ami is not dead or crippled is blatant proof(as if we didn't already know) that ninja are superhuman.
Quick fact:Hymn of Ragnarok said:Although in these unique circumstances Ami can take a lot of heat, and the arena is so hot the liquids are evaporating, and while more heat in the long run isn't gonna be good for us in the short term it may help Ami out.
Steam at 100 degrees Celsius causes worse burns than water at 100 degrees Celsius, given equivalent mass and volume.
That's because in addition to the specific heat capacity of water, steam also contains the heat of vaporization ie the energy required to cause the water to change state from liquid to gas.
Don't get it twisted.
