Freezing would happen very slowly, and not at all if the human was relatively near the Sun (around Earth’s orbit or closer).

We do, however, swell up quite a bit.
Idk about everyone else, but I’m only celebrating because it’s the one day of the year when setting off large explosions is socially acceptable.
Isn’t a million calories like 40L of gas? Anon’s more gas than human lol.
Wtf did I just read
Natural selection is essentially just a massively parallel Monte Carlo optimization algorithm that’s been running for billions of years. It’s so simple yet produces such amazing complexity.
Doesn’t even have to be catcalling; even a normal compliment is something we remember for a long time. I don’t think I’ve been catcalled at all, though I’m not very attractive so I wouldn’t expect to be.

The Earth is actually warmer than an object in space would be due to the greenhouse effect. But even without the effect, a spherical blackbody human won’t freeze. Since humans aren’t spheres, you could probaby get one to partially freeze by pointing its head or feet at the Sun, minimizing the surface area it receives sunlight from. This is definitely something that needs experimental testing.
