Reply to comment by voitlander in LPT: If you want to check the water temperature at the tap, touch the metal tap end instead of putting your hand under the water. by Independent-Aerie-42

Right sure, and while we’re at it let’s rig up a full color digital temperature display, complete with information about the heat tolerances of human skin, safety warnings, information about optimal temperatures for various cooking and cleaning uses, and maybe a button to automatically call medical services. You know, just in case of emergency.

The original advice is more meant for a quick fix kind of scenario. One where you need information fast and you don’t have many tools at your disposal.

Nearly all of the tips on this sub are that way. I really think you’re missing the point.
