Plz give us an example for a "stuff"

Like if I tripped and scraped my knee on the ground or like closed the door on my hands or something, it seems to hurt more on a frigid winter day than say during the summer

Why is this? Is it the temperature change from the body to the outside that causes this?

Cold stimuli can activate pain receptors, same as heat btw

I've the opposite experience myself. I get rather numb when it's cold, which maybe the norm, given the expression.

I've slipped on ice and fell on my ass so many times (and at my age that's actually a bit dangerous), but I barely feel it and get right back up. If I fall hard in the heat, on the other hand, I'm just short of throwing up from the pain.

this. we get a burning feeling in extreme heat but don't really have a sensible reaction for extreme cold, so we generally feel a burn for extreme cold as well.

Different thing. When you cool down a tissue, neuro transmission gets slower, physics wise.

Has to do with snowflakes having the [math] D_{6h} [/math] point group

No I experience this too. I remember playing outside as a kid when your hands get really fucking cold if they get hit by like a hard plastic or metal object it hurts like hell

>>8468930
when you see it...

Right because getting hit by hard plastic or metal object doesn't hurt when it isn't cold?

I think it's because you're partially numb so you can't feel the comforting rubbing that you do when you hurt yourself typically to distract you from the pain.

It was obviously implied it hurts more when it's cold. He didn't say it only hurts when it's cold you brainlet
