False. Really hot glass would glow red, and sometimes cold glass would have condensation depending on the humidity.

protip: hot glass looks the same as cold glass

Those are extremes. Hot glass that can easily cause severe burns with a quick touch often looks just like room temp glass.

Yep. I’ve told many people this.
I’ve also succumbed to confusing that schlenk connector that was just in a flame with the cold one.

Not always, but once it starts looking different we’ve moved past asking what degree the burn is and into “do you keep the appendage that touched it?”
BreadOven@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Haha. Great analogy. Too true.
captainlezbian@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Yeah I think people can get tripped up by the fact that glass does glow red when it’s melty. Don’t fight that thought, lean into it, explain just how wildly hot glass needs to be before it looks any different and what that will do to the biology that touches it

This is the way.
