Good lord, the frog thing in a 2025 film?

People.

Frogs will leave the warm water when it gets uncomfortable, well before the boiling point.

@GeePawHill Can confirm, although I have been known to enter an uncomfortably hot bath.

@frog It can be hard to tell whether it's izzackly hot enough or too hot until you actually get in.

@GeePawHill The sweet spot is if it hurts for about 20 seconds after you get in. After that it's great and it just unties the knots in your muscles.

@GeePawHill I’ve never seen a citation for the anti-boiling-frogs claim. Is it just an equally-unsupported counter-meme?

Sadly, my proposal to catch some frogs and try to boil them met with spousal disapproval. And she’s all about “evidence-based medicine.” Pshaw, I say.
