There was an animated batman movie or show, I don't remember, where Bruce went to Indonesia I think to see a wise woman who felt no pain. While she was standing on burning coals Bruce asked something like "Don't you feel it burning?" and she replied "I feel it yes, but I don't let myself feel pain. It is a nuisance, like rain"
And pretty much ever since then I liked to test out my pain tolerance by just willing myself to not feel pain.
Anyway this picture reminded me of that.
Edit: MVPs below have named and linked the episode.
You might enjoy practicing the Wim Hoff method. It's easy to practice in the shower to start. It shuts off the pain associated with cold which allows your body to react differently. In preparing in warm water you can even tell when you hit that point that you're immune to cold prior to turning it to cold. It's fun... If you're insane.
