I froze my tongue to metal today

[Samus Aran]

I was fiddling with the huge metal beer/liquor containers at work and needed both hands to shut the handles on one of them, so I took the lock and put it between my teeth, or at least that was the intention. I only realized slightly too late that it was winter and very cold out and this was a terrible idea. My tongue stuck to it immediately.

Thankfully, it wasn't something stationary. I dunno would have done then. But in this case I was able to just go back inside and sorta rub on my tongue/the metal to warm them up faster and was able to pull it off my tongue pretty quickly. But it hurts something awful once your tongue is free and it starts warming back up. It still hurts actually, and this was about 40 minutes ago. The tip of my tongue is numb.

itt have you ever done this or something idk 

[don't let's]

you'll shoot your eye out

[YPrrrr]

Never done it because that scene in a Christmas Story freaked me the fuck out

[Samus Aran]

you'll shoot your eye out

yes yes i thought of that movie as well while it was happening

i started laughing a bit while also groaning from the pain

Though I once got my fingertips stuck to the inside of a freezer at my friend's house.

yet another thing I can't relate to because of living in florida

also, I've never watched that movie

when i was a dumb 7th grader my friends and i would do that to metal poles
it's actually very easy to get unstuck. you just need to make out with the metal sorta (get saliva on it) to unfreeze the bonds to your tongue.

I don't know if that method would work at sub-0 temperatures

the thought of losing that outer layer of skin to something frozen is enough to make me question whether i ever want to put anything cold in my mouth again

but hot things can just be as devastating

it helps but it's not enough to get unstuck

was only -5 today, it's been warming up

but hot things can just be as devastating

but the idea of actually having my taste buds peeled away from my tongue as opposed to just scorched seems so much more horrifying oh god msk;fnv;nsfv
