I mean like mugs full of hot water and stuff like that.
I undestand they don’t actually get any hotter than they already are, so why does it feel like that?

Tempurature is very slow. As opposed to pressure for instance. Because the heat is traveling deeper and closer to nerves.
Five year old: So, if you hold something hot like a potato for a long time, your hand feels like it’s getting even hotter, even if the potato stays the same hotness. It’s because your hand keeps telling your brain, “It’s getting hotter!” the longer you hold it. Your hand starts off at 98° and the potato at 200°. It will take time for your hand to warm up and continue telling your receptors, hot hot hot!!! Before you throw it to your sister.
