how people in extremely cold places can survive? For example, Oymyakon in Siberia regularly gets below – 55°c / – 67°f, and I’m sure we’ve all seen those videos of people throwing boiling water into the air where it freezes instantly. How does blood not freeze? How are mucous membranes and eyeballs not frozen within seconds? How does anybody pee without it instantly freezing?
Obviously people live in heated housing, but how can people go outside/ pee outside without injury? I’ve wondered about this for years, and even more so when I see pictures of animals seemingly frozen in place mid-movement.
Thank you

Ok, take those boiling water into the air things with a BIG grain of salt. Yes some of the finer bits of spray will freeze quickly. There will still be larger drops of water that will still be dangerously hot, yes even at those ludicrous temperatures. Getting burns is a common side effect of people trying to mimic those videos, but doing it poorly. It looks very cool when the water is thrown away from you, do NOT DO IT OVERHEAD
