I don't know how the hell that's possible... apparently some fish in the arctic have anti-freeze proteins in their blood, but wikipedia just mentions one species of fish and it sure doesn't look like that, and even then, I'm pretty sure we're talking in surviving in cold water, not being turned into a popsicle in someone's freezer. Is anyone here a marine biologist?

You're not dead until you're warm and dead.
ImgurNeedsMoreSmartass
Does it work in a deep fryer too?
jineb
Only if it's lightly fried.
NorfolkBoy
I wonder if they were frozen very long? So long as you avoid destroying the cells by ice crystals, I think this is plausible.

As a healthcare provider, I get this.

some guy just woke from a coma after being frozen to 'death'

Is his name Eric Cartman?

I wonder if they have the answer for cryogenics

I can't stop laughing omg. You are the hero I needed.

Here we go guys! Cryogenics is gonna hook us up

we could put a flash frozen fish on the moon and collect it in 100 years just to see.

And we could shoot that orca up there too so he can dance with his wife and his kids in his castle again

sublimation would pull the water out of the cells. So you'd have dehydrated, frozen fish.

BearInTimber
plus that whole toxic levels of solar radiation
AdrianDunne
Frozen in a large block of ice in a pressurised container.
Teas
Wouldn't they still need oxygen?
40ozJesus
That is some science i can get behind
TydenS
Except we know that would fail. The water would be sublimated from the cells in the low pressure of the moon and the fish would die.
Dokramuh
You could always ship it on a ziplock bag.
TydenS
Wouldn't stop the problem. You'd have to send it in a pressure vessel.
Pangs
Moon Nazis would probably eat it.
sixtyfortysoo
'how did I get so cold?' fish probably

zombie fish

We have carp in our outside pond. They stay there all winter and the pond freezes solid sometimes. They are still alive in the spring!
Roqinn
To bad they can't dodge that Heron that likes to come around for a snack now and then.

They did that to my wife and child. Killed my wife and stole my child.

There are insects that do this too!

Now do it with people.
spderweb
Turtles and frogs do this in Canada too.
SonOfAnder989
Certain frogs can do it too.
ProfessorSamson
as a mobile user at first I thought this was one gif and was very confused
ASDFFDSAASDFASDF
I know some frogs do that
lmScruffyTheJanitor
Snakes and toads do that. Freeze solid in the winter and thaw back out in the spring.
AnUnknownErrorOccurred
Snakes don't, but yeah some frogs/toads can do that.
lmScruffyTheJanitor
Garter snakes do and all the other snakes that live up north.
Discoikungshamn
I only saw the first gif first and was like, well why would you expect stupid fish-frankensteins?!
SonOfAnder989
Certain frogs can do it too.
DiplMaleNurseToBe
There are some fish which can do that. Sea fish have lower osmotic concentration than sea water, so their blood has a higher freezing (1/3)
SavagedByADuck
there are also some frogs that let themselves freeze over winter, pretty awesome
Zacster94
Thanks science people!
waityoucansayANYTHINGontheinternet
We also splice the dna for that antifreeze in our gmo tomatoes to keep them from freezing while growing
override367
yeah no we don't
waityoucansayANYTHINGontheinternet
Legitimately we do, not super mainstream but its been done and they are looking into cost effective ways of doing it.
override367
by "not super mainstream" you mean *never sold to consumers*
waityoucansayANYTHINGontheinternet
True, But it was an awesome idea. And similar ideas like Golden Rice are freaking amazing
bobbysnobby
Cant tell if your joking but thats not really a thing. Its done in labs you in all odds have never seen such a tomato.

point than sea water. Frozen cells are destroyed by the formation of ice crystals which grow larger than the cells. So the trick is (2/)
wadatahmydamie
To put your dick in it, but you want to make sure to remove it before you get frostbite. (3/3)
DiplMaleNurseToBe
to keep the crystals small. Glycerol does that, for example, there are other compounds which do the same. (3/3)
Sxthebaconbagel
Wonder if we could so the same for humans. Imagine getting frozen in 2016 and waking up in 2050. Totally would trip me out.
daxx0r
Fascinating! Thanks for the info :D
invar
Saline, extremely similar to everyday contact solution, is the leading discovery as a safe and nontoxic cryogenic blood replacement
IAmThePermabannedAccountOfMyNameIsMrTorgue
Like those frogs which load their cells up with sugar, because sugar-crystals don't lacerate when freezing
IWasNotSureHowLongAUsernameCouldBeSoIAmMakingThisToBeSure
It happened to me once I've fishing. Really cold day, I was catching yellow perch. Left outside in the ice and it froze 1/2
IWasNotSureHowLongAUsernameCouldBeSoIAmMakingThisToBeSure
Brought it home, unthawed it in the sink, and when I came back it was swimming around in my sink
wadatahmydamie
Great posts, but still had to do it. You understand!
DiplMaleNurseToBe
I can completely relate. I would've done the same. Thanks for the chuckle!
