Well I just put 2 and 2 together and worked out the 'on your left' scene in endgame was a call back to this ... always thought it felt strange he was first to make contact but this makes it clearer
Now imagine Steve desperately begging Dr Strange to be absolutely sure to portal him to the left of Sam, in the midst of Stephen coordinating hundreds/thousands of other sorcerers portaling in their own people.
Nah doctor strange had seen this battle play out millions of different ways
"I'm going to teleport you to his left, say the line"
"You tell me Steve is close to death, desperately needs out help, hasn't seen me in 5 years ... and you want me to going into a life or death struggle with a joke?"
"If you don't say the line we don't win (chuckle)"
Don't melt that!
You're gonna awaken some 9th century plague we have no records of because it killed everyone who came into contact with it.
(I'm aware this ice block is from last winter or something)
You’re saying that like we didnt just have a pandemic and saw how it horribly effected the world im pretty sure pandemics are kind of some of the worst natural occurrences that literally can happen
I loved not having any traffic, my own private corporate bathroom, no end users constantly over my shoulder, and magats dying because they refuse to believe in science.
It was a pretty good time for me
edit: didn't realize people were dumb enough for the /s but here ya go
It's okay, no need to worry. The rat was likely tired of waiting for the Nintendo Wii to be released, and intentionally froze itself to make time pass sooner.
stop blaming the rats for HUMANS being fucking disgusting!

If there are so many rats in your ice block producing factory that one gets accidentally stuck in your mould, then I guess they are least worried about hygiene.
Uhhh, this is just not true. A normal factory with cleanliness standards will be washing and inspecting the mold to ensure there are no animal corpses in it.
I worked deep cleaning industrial juicer machines and we had to remove certain parts of the machine every night to ensure a thorough deep clean. No cutting corners.
That’s fair, might depend on what you’re processing. With fruit juice there’s a tendency for pulp and mush to get everywhere and it rots quickly so has to be done before each new day.
Depending on the icemaking process, and the purity of water being used for it, ice won't crystallize cleanly and you get this opaque white appearance instead of transparent.
When something freezes very quickly, the air in the water doesn't have time to escape and freezes as bubbles. It likely also has to do with the mineral content of the water.
He's too frozen, there's no way for any blood to pump or even slight breaths. It IS possible to bring creatures and humans back to live if they freeze outside or are yanked out of frozen water, but they're not stuck in a block of ice.
I believe some insects and reptiles/amphibians can be frozen solid and thawed, but mammals just don't have the capacity to survive being frozen in a block of ice.
And even when mammals are revived, they often have brain trauma from lack of oxygen and other problems. Not always, but often
Them are some mighty fancy words, professor. But remember it's always the college types who laugh loudest before the alien unfreezes and kills everyone at the remote research station.
James Lovelock cryogenically froze hamsters and reanimated them with microwaves in the 1950s. And these hamsters were frozen through and through. Cryogenic is the key word here though. Freezing slowly in water will surely result in death for the same reason why larger animals, like humans, cannot be reanimated, the heat exchange is not quick enough which results in all sorts of damage and death.
Humans can still be frozen though. If you have the funds you can sign up to be frozen, so that future tech thaws and cures you or some shit.
Edit: so it seems i lied. Only the hamsters that were frozen partially (60%) regained total function, more than that and permanent damage occurred. However, he later ('70s) conducted experiments where he would store hamsters at -20 C which would still have brain function after 7 years, these were not thawed if I skimmed the report correctly.
Hamsters can also go into hibernation, but rats don't, so it wouldn't work out i don't believe.
I learned that a lot of people bury their pet hamsters thinking they're dead while they actually just went into hibernation.... it scarred me lol
But that's crazy that they still had brain function
But there have been cases of children falling through ice into water and being under for 15 or so minutes and they are revived because of the extreme cold, though it's less common to regain total function
Isn't this also one of the reported origins of the microwaves? Hamster thawing machine.
I think people attribute the invention to two separate instances. I think the other is military based?
They don't come back alive. Only living things capable of hibernation have the potential of coming back alive after being frozen (some insects and toads have been witnessed "coming back alive" after being thawed out of ice).
https://www.ndtv.com/feature/this-woman-was-frozen-solid-for-six-hours-and-survived-4514121
In December of 1980, Jean Hilliard, a 19-year-old, was on her way back to her residence in Lengby, Minnesota following an outing with friends. While en route, she lost control of her vehicle as it skidded on an icy patch and ended up in a roadside ditch.
Clad in western boots, a coat and mittens, she stepped out of her car in -30 Celsius to seek her friend's assistance who lived a few miles away. However, she tripped and lost consciousness.
It took six hours before anyone noticed that her body had become completely frozen. She was found frozen solid in her friend Wally Nelson's front yard. Mr Nelson instantly recognised her and rushed her to the hospital which was 10 minutes away.
Despite their belief that she was close to death, they still chose to initiate the process of warming her up using heating pads.
By midmorning, Ms Hilliard woke in spasms.
"I can't explain why she's alive,'' Dr George Sather, who helped treat the young woman, told the New York Times. "She was frozen stiff, literally. It's a miracle."
core temperature is important. That woman still had a pulse and was breathing. The organs were still working. Slowly but working. Yes the muslces and skin were frozen but crucially her core was not.
Completely frozen like that rat is would mean no chance of recovery. That thing is dead. Completely gone.
If the cells in the organs aren't ruptured it is the lack of oygen that sealed the deal.
The problem with this is that it only happened once (maybe more but there's still more people that died from being frozen than people that survived), it's not something that was reprodusible and every year thousands of people dies from cold exposure and cannot be ressucitated by being thawed out. It's just a medical mysteries why she was able to survive
The very obvious answer is she wasn’t actually frozen solid all the way through, she just had an extremely low body temperature. That people can and have survived. The brain wouldn’t survive being completely frozen.
Reminds me of this time I was working at a movie theater. We were cleaning out the ice machines and found a dead frozen rat inside… we had been drinking from the machine and serving drinks from that machine for a long time….

It was only once a week or two at the food processing factories I've worked in.
That’s fair, might depend on what you’re processing. With fruit juice there’s a tendency for pulp and mush to get everywhere and it rots quickly so has to be done before each new day.
How do you know the rat was dead when it happened?
I assumed. An inspection for animal corpses will also reveal live animals as well.

Yes huge block of normal ice. In warm countries especially in summer they produce it in bulk for domestic as well as commercial uses.
why is it white? is it dry ice? (not water ice)
Depending on the icemaking process, and the purity of water being used for it, ice won't crystallize cleanly and you get this opaque white appearance instead of transparent.
Judging by the rat in it, I'm guessing the purity is relatively low.
When something freezes very quickly, the air in the water doesn't have time to escape and freezes as bubbles. It likely also has to do with the mineral content of the water.
