We've all heard that if you put a frog in a pot of cool water and slowly boil the water, the frog will not attempt to escape and will boil to death. Of course, it has to be true, right?

True or False? Why?

Welcome to 3rd grade science class.

Is that you GG? Well, I once stuck my todger in cold water and it disappeared. Also bought a wallet allegedly made from elephant foreskin and when you rub it, it turns into a suitcase. Completely unrelated, but equally scientific. Haven’t tried sticking anything alive in boiling water yet, but apparently the Chinese do regularly as they are known to try to eat everything but the scream.

Yes.

Of course.

The best way to test this hypothesis is to put frogs in a pot.

Add cold water.

Close the lid.

Turn up the heat to boiling.

But, why would anyone do such a thing?

I don't like boiled frog.

Years ago, I had frogs legs at a buffet in Collegeville, PA.

I think they were broiled.

All you could eat for a reasonable price.

Where they came from, I have no idea.

For some reason, I do not find frogs legs appealing:

I am a leg man, I guess, but I prefer the legs of Asian women, compared to any other organism's.

Shoot i don't need cold water to make it look little.

What is the point of this ridiculous so called poll?

The slow boiling of the frogs is also used when talking about the slow conditioning/propagandising/gaslighting of citizens to accept things that they would never have accepted if it was introduced in one step

reference the recent Covidiocy.

What has that mumbo jumbo got to do with either my question or the poll?

Think about it with that big brain for a bit.

OK, how would you have spelt, or is it spelled, it?

Thank you for the complement but unless you can actually respond to a question with a rational answer, I am not going to waste that big brain on your pointless replies.

Good night!

First they are spawn laid by their Mummy frog, then turn into tadpoles, and finally boilable frogs.

Lobsters and crabs suffer the same fate.

Fairey made some superb aeroplanes up at Woodford, and the Fairey Brass Band was one of the finest in the land.

It's an urban myth. It is still popular because of its power as a metaphor for creeping normalcy - people accepting slow degradation of their life quality in increments, which they would never agree to if they happened all at once.

Actually, they were quite good.

But, the thing is that you really cannot eat too many of them in one sitting.

The restaurant I referred to was right next to the Perkiomen Creek.

That was a very beautiful spot, and the frog's leg restaurant was operated by an inn, which was over 200 years old, as I recall.

These days, I have no reason to return to the USA.

But, IF I could return to that place, in the year 1970, I would leave here in a heartbeat.

Those days, the USA was a completely different country.

The society was like night and day, and I prefer the day of 1970, rather than the night of now.

Amazing Frogs Legs.

I wonder if they boil the frogs first and then broil....

Sadly, after many floods, this establishment has been closed for some years.

One good thing about being a frog, when one is not being boiled, is that floods never bother one.

It’s quite something how a simple true or false question somehow turns into a detour through rudimentary cooking methods nobody needs explained, uninteresting buffet memories, and personal preferences in women that have nothing to do with the original point. The OP asks a childish question about hot and cold, and instead of even addressing it, you’ve managed to sidestep the query entirely while piling on layers of incoherent commentary. By the end, it’s not even clear what your answer is supposed to amount to, beyond confirming that your train of thought clearly left the rails several stations back and that you have caused the topic to drift well away from anything resembling a coherent response.
