!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Even if you could actually cook at such temps, you are living tissue, damaged cells are constantly replaced by new ones. If that ever stops, it means you're dead.
I cook cut off a part of myself and sous vide it at my body temp and it would cook and be edible.
Can you really? Your internal body temp? Around 37C or under 100F? I can't find any sous vide recipes that low. I can't find anything under 50C, which would kill you if it was your internal body temperature.
50C, which would kill you if it was your internal body temperature.
Because it would be cooking you.
No you can't sous vide at body temperature. red meat needs 60 °C (130 to 140 °F).
Body temperature is only about 37°.
Try to warm some water to 60° C and put your finger in it, and see how long you can hold it there.
Or maybe don't because you will get burned.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sous_vide
If your question is how we can tolerate higher temperatures than our body temperature, even up to 60° C, the answer is body cooling. As mentioned by others, cooling by evaporating sweat (water) from the surface of our skin.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_index
If you look at the table, you can only tolerate up to for instance 43° C at 40% humidity. At that point there is extreme danger.
The more dry the air is, the higher temperature can be tolerated, because the sweat evaporates faster so you cool faster.
So at 90% humidity cooling is very slow, so you can only tolerate up to 33° C. Which is about 4° C below body temperature. But the heat you generate internally makes you heat up to above tolerable body temperature, and if prolonged you will die.
This is what summer does to a fella
Are you confusing fahrenheit and Celsius? Body temp can't cook food
Sous vide doesn't happen at 98 f, 37c.
You don't start killing off bacteria until 130f, 54c, which is the 'real' point of cooking. (oh there's also texture reasons, making it more palatable. but generally we cook foods so it's safe to eat.)
Generally, the only things you'd prepare at lower than 130f, are things that don't have a problem with bacteria- whole plants and vegetables. Which is why cut up fruits and veggies are meant to be refrigerated- this stalls off the bacterial growth that the plant can't stop because it's barrier to do that has been removed.
but no. Chopping off a bicep or something won't cook at your core body temperature- and in point of fact, your surface temp is actually much lower.
While you're alive, your body repairs itself. If you cut off a part of your body, it loses that ability. We are such a low temp, our ability to heal just outpaces the time it takes to cook. 😌
