The feeling of hot or cold is actually just the feeling of heat energy entering/leaving your skin.

The basics: if something is cold, energy is moving from your hand into the cold thing. If something is hot, energy is moving into your hand from the hot thing.

If it cannot transfer energy at all, then it doesn’t feel hot or cold. Like when you take a shower at the perfect temperature where the water temp matches your skin exactly, and it doesn’t feel like anything. Or a very warm pool.

Your hand would overheat a little bit eventually because your body creates internal energy through being alive, which it radiates away through your skin to the surrounding air to maintain equilibrium. If your hand lost that ability, it would get a bit warmer internally. But your blood would maintain approximate temperature equilibrium, so it wouldn’t be too bad.

If you were in a pool of the stuff, you’d eventually cook yourself.

I also have been trying to convince people to try Kagi. It is so much better than google results, has no ads, and is very pro-privacy.

Only downside is that you have to pay for it, but honestly it’s worth it to me for how much better it is, and no ads or psychology against me is a big bonus
