Hot Buttocks

[Prudie]

When I lean against a very hot radiator (which I often do) why doesn't it melt the fat in my buttocks and thighs?

[Zacs-Master]

If it did, you would end up with very fat ankles and wrinkly arse.

[scorpiojo]

Lol

Because the God of weight loss deemed that it be so, for to make it easy to gain weight but harder to lose it.

[Prudie]

Oh Jim, how great would it be though if it did and the process inventor - or discoverer:-) would make a mint - have you already picked your thesis topic??

[jim360]

I did a google search for "heat melts fat cells" and it's been done already. The reason it doesn't work with a radiator is, I think, because it's not hot enough and anyway your skin is a fairly good insulator. But I'm honestly out of my depth on this one.

Re Thesis topic: Not yet -- well, sort of. Currently working on Higgs boson stuff, likely to switch to Beauty physics next year (this is actually a thing).

Thank you Prudie, that did make me chuckle!

[boxtops]

now if you had a radiator which pummelled you....... :-)

(I could argue the same with a fat hot cat sitting on my fat hot stomach, LOL)

[Old_Geezer]

Darn. Read title. Thought this was a thread about me. :-(

[Brinjal]

Funny

Can you imagine how big your feet would be if you bottom melted and the fat ran down to your feet.

I think that could be the reason.

[Graham-W]

I guess it's a temperature thing. To melt the fat on a piece of steak you need it in a frying pan. A radiator just won't do it.
On the other hand, if you could sit in a frying pan.....................

[boxtops]

Ouch! ouch!

[LazyGun]

Not hot enough. Skin is a good insulator. You cannot voluntarily lean against a very hot radiator for long enough anyway :)

[Prudie]

The fat feet and ankles would be emptied via some kind of tap - obviously!

[Old_Geezer]

Most things expand when hot.

[neodarwinian]

Because that fat is only marginally dehydrogenated.

[ferlew]

Removal of little toe?

I would play :)

[jomifl]

The fat in you body is already molten at body temperature. The reason it stays where it is, is because it is contained in fat cells which are fixed in place. If it wasn't liquid it would be difficult to metabolise when you need a bit more energy ie. when you have run out of glycogen.

[gness]

Blimey....amputation is a bit extreme.....Why not stand on your head while resting your bottom on the radiator and then have your ears syringed quite often?

[sandyRoe]

Is that how liposuction works? If it was solid they'd have to chisel it away
