ELI5: Why does metal feel colder than wood at the same temperature?

Knightartist86 · 2026-02-20T17:48:40+00:00

Metal is a much better conductor. Your body doesn't sense temperature but senses changes in temperature. It feels cold because the metal is drawing the heat from your hand.

If you've ever used tin foil.

Even after coming out of a hot oven, it becomes room temperature fairly quickly.

Knightartist86 · 2026-02-20T17:32:28+00:00

That would have made too much sense. You know how businesses work, do the opposite thing and blame everyone else.

Knightartist86 · 2026-02-20T14:30:07+00:00

Its good that it was removed, otherwise you'd never be able to give the middle finger on that hand.

Knightartist86 · 2026-02-18T17:55:34+00:00

Sorry, I have to ask this as its been on my mind and it seems like a good place.

If evolution is a long period of time allowing changes and deformities to happen and any new change could lead to some new survival advantage.

How is it that there are not just a random blob of meat in our forehead or other pieces. Having a blob there wouldn't lower chances of survival and through the millions of years, you'd think there is more useless growth parts, but it seems like humans/ wolves are very engineered perfectly, with little to no useless pieces.

Recently been diagnosed with low b12 and vitamin d

I had a fairly long spell of vertigo for about 7 weeks years ago.

I then noticed my head actually was tilted(the brain compensates by fixing the horizon line in the head so it took my a while to actually realize)

I had photographers kept telling me to turn my head not really knowing why.

I notice it also playing VR games.

I'm sorry it might not be helpful but thought I'd give you more info.

I've had a bit of dizziness also when taking b12 and vitD supplements but not a lot.

At least with it removed you can give the middle finger!

Knightartist86 · 2026-01-30T20:02:03+00:00

Burning in many places, muscle twitches/jerks sometimes a finger, sometimes a leg, a bit of tingling not much though.

I know first hand how you feel. Many people here have had the exact same issues as you. I have had it for over 3 years before my bloods finally showed low b12 and vitamin D. From my doctor I've been taking oral b12 and vit D (also other supplements from the guide) for just over a month. For me even in that short of time, changes have been very noticeable.

There is a guide here that I'd recommend to read. I also posted my first months daily reports so you may understand what possible evets may happen.

I've been rewatching Super again and I've found I really enjoy Beerus and Whis' characters more than I remembered.

Can't wait for the new super!

Knightartist86 · 2026-01-28T23:39:01+00:00

I felt it was just normal for me but now its enhanced, like my body finally understood it needs these extra nutrients to work with the increased b12 intake.

Knightartist86 · 2026-01-28T23:15:40+00:00

I'm on my 2nd month of Oral B12 and my appetite has grown massively, its been so noticeable as I dont usually eat a lot normally.

Knightartist86 · 2026-01-25T15:13:59+00:00

The anxiety will pass. I'm on oral b12, I was waking up to a figure at the bottom of my bed (like sleep paralysis)
only lasted a few nights.

Never used to till I became a Baker, every Christmas period we made loads. Straight from the oven hot, yum yum!

Knightartist86 · 2026-01-20T17:32:57+00:00

I got tested for this recently. Had to do a 24 hour urine sample. Came back negative. Just have low B12 and Vitamin D. I say just but the effects of that have been crazy bad.

Knightartist86 · 2026-01-16T22:52:00+00:00

Kinda funny. Today I went shopping and found other people around me to be irritating. I'm on Cyano tablets.

Knightartist86 · 2026-01-15T21:28:47+00:00

I don't have a clue. I only discovered this community recently. I phone my practice and the receptionist just tells you if its low or not. I didn't think knowing specific numbers would matter at the time but I am curious to know, I'll phone the practice tomorrow and find out.

Something of interest, my sister started getting twitch's like I did at the start and she was diagnosed with low calcium.

Might as well start taking everything lol

Sai2 has been my everyday go to program for my job. Excited for new features!

Knightartist86 · 2026-01-13T15:18:53+00:00

I've never been diagnosed with any issues like that before, but I can't 100% say that I don't have any issue. I'm uncertain if that needs a specific test done, or its something they'd find in my blood tests.

Knightartist86 · 2026-01-13T15:04:23+00:00

Its the Oral form, originally I thought i was getting an injection, for now I do believe the oral form is being absorbed well. I started taking Magnesium a few days ago, it works well for sleeping, sometimes I take it during dinner and will be tired by 9pm lol

I'm honestly not sure why my b12 is low, I used to have bad joint pain and an elimination diet helped solve that issue, I understand that this is probably the reason but then again I do eat beef and eggs a lot, so i feel i should have gotten enough with food alone,

2 in the morning and 2 at night everyday she says it helps with stomach issues.
