I used to work in a warehouse freezer, i did get dizzy at times when going from -25° to +40° but goddamn that was the best AC i ever had.

    I've read about people in the South Pole station in Antarctica who experience 300°F temperature swings by setting their saunas heated to 200°F (93°C), sitting in there for 10 minutes, then walking naked (except boots) outside around the ceremonial South Pole marker, on days where it's below -100°F (-73°C).

    It sounds crazy, especially in that the people who talk about it explain that they do get minor frostbite and lung damage from the experience.
