It might act like a giant heatsink tho, making your body cool out as soon as it starts melting and creating proper surface contact. But chilling in 20°C water is also not really an issue so i guess it depends on the thermal conductivity of the skin/gallium interface.

Just use something similar with a lower melting point. Mercury or cesium both do. You're welcome!

You'll completely float on mercury, and cesium does no good to your body. Like, at all.

There's alloys with lower melting points, here's one that's 281K/8°C

I'm sure an Infinite ice bath has an appeal to someone
