The layperson stares in horror at the manmade horrors beyond his comprehension. The highly intelligent person stares with even more horror, for he can comprehend them.

Gotta make sure to do it from a Russian VPN too.
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.
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.
It would make a cute SSD enclosure, but alas...
I'd think mercury would be too dense to form bubbles. Though it does have a very high surface tension, so perhaps I'm wrong. I actually have quite a lot of mercury, but trying to blow air through it as a test doesn't exactly sound appealing.
Hmm, might be a Pixel / GrapheneOS thing.

I thought they just meant a mouse cursor...
I can view the convergent (cross-eyed) ones no problem. I managed once to focus on the divergent ones with like 30 minutes of practice, but I had trouble focusing normally afterwards for like an hour so I haven't tried since.
