Why Your Tongue Sticks to a Metal Pole in Winter and How to Free It
In winter, some people, either playfully or unknowingly, stick their tongue to a metal pole, which can be dangerous. However, not everyone understands the scientific reasons behind it. In this article, we will explore why the tongue sticks to metal, the science behind it, and how to free yourself from this situation.

Scientific Reasons Behind Tongue Sticking to a Metal Pole in Winter
During winter, the air is dry and cold, and metal poles cool down quickly. When you touch a cold metal surface with your warm, moist tongue, the saliva on your tongue freezes almost instantly. This happens because the metal pole absorbs heat from your tongue so quickly that your body cannot replace the heat fast enough.
The saliva on your tongue quickly turns to ice, which causes your tongue to get stuck to the metal. This is not only uncomfortable but can also harm your tongue if you don't take immediate and proper action.
How to Free Your Tongue if It Gets Stuck
If your tongue gets stuck to a metal pole, don't panic. A simple solution is to use warm water or any other liquid. By pouring warm water between the metal and your tongue, the frozen saliva will gradually melt, and you can easily free your tongue. However, make sure not to use excessively hot water, as it can burn your tongue.
How to Prevent Your Tongue From Getting Stuck to a Metal Pole
Stay Cautious: Never place your tongue on any metal object during winter, not even as a joke.
Educate Children: Children may be curious about this phenomenon, so it's important to make them aware of the dangers.
Avoid Metal Objects: During winter, avoid touching outdoor metal objects like poles and railings, as they cool down rapidly and have a high capacity to absorb heat.
Conclusion
Sticking your tongue to a metal pole in winter is a hazardous situation. It primarily happens when your warm, moist tongue touches cold metal, and the metal quickly absorbs the heat from your tongue, causing the saliva to freeze. To avoid such situations, it’s essential to stay cautious. However, if it does happen, using warm water or liquid to melt the ice can help you free your tongue. Staying calm and taking quick, proper action can save you from injury.

ㅤㅤKNUCKLES. ㅤit feels as though you have fought every day of your life. sometimes, you cannot even tell how much of the blood on your hands is your own... and how much comes from those who've tried to hurt those you defend. you deserve the gentleness of a kiss to your bruised knuckles and broken skin, a reminder that you are not only made of violence.

Yesterday after Christmas shopping I got home and as I literally sat down, my phone rang with a private number on the other end, and some guy I didn't know said he'd be "there in ten minutes." Me being weirded out, I hung up on him immediately.
Half a minute later, my phone rings again and it's the same private number, except this time some woman I don't even know is yelling at me about how she knows I've been talking to "her man" and wants me to take responsibility for this situation.
And I'm like, "Who are you?" which then escalates into some weird game of "Who are you?" "No, who are you?"
My brain didn't even have time to process what was happening because all I knew was some random angry woman was accusing me of something I didn't even do over the phone, not allowing me to explain that it was all a mistake, and all I could think to say was "I haven't been talking to anyone" (since this is a new phone) and "you've got the wrong number." Eventually her friend got the hint, took her phone away from her, and apologized to me.
The most fucked-up part about this story is even though I knew with 100% certainty that I had done nothing wrong, and it was the other party who dialed the wrong number, my first instinct was to apologize because, well, what if I accidentally talked to someone's boyfriend and didn't know it?
and like???? the fuck??? get ahold of yourself, idiot
#in hindsight I should have said something in skaru:re and hung up#but I was kinda tongue-tied at the time. being yelled at makes me freeze up#also I feel like these days I have a tendency to question whether I've done anything wrong because ppl are always fucking saying I am#even when I'm not and it's like well goddammit guess I can't vouch for my own innocence AS I'M SITTING THERE IN MY GOD DAMN ROOM#thanks idw discourse you've successfully gaslighted me into thinking I do terrible things to people even when I do not
