Reply to comment by urzu_seven in If you wrapped a human in a theoretical blanket that was able to insulate 100% of heat produced by the person, would that person’s body temperature eventually reach equilibrium, or would their metabolism cause them to keep getting hotter and hotter until they perish? by NonEuclideanGal
The fact that this can happen outside of my theoretical thought experiment is absolutely terrifying.
