If the temp increase is slow, people don’t realize it’s hot unless they happen to put it down or reposition it.
When my son was younger, he burnt his legs by using a laptop on his lap. It got hot, he didn’t realize.
Same concept as being in the shower and very slowly changing the temp until you’re showering in fully hot/cold water.
Didn't think about that, it's like the frog in a pan example than...true
Ironically, a frog would actually jump out of the water if its temperature slowly increases.
