    Hypothermia, please. Cold, then sleepy, then warm, then numb, then dead.

      You forgot the sensation that your head is about to expload from pressure on the inside

    That really all depends on how you're boiled, and what you're boiled IN for that matter; water, oil, tar, acid, etc. Assuming it's water, is it gradually brought to boiling temperatures or are you simply dropped in like french fries in oil? With the former, it is possible to increase the water's temperature gradually enough that no discomfort is felt other than the typical symptoms of heat exhaustion (ie. dehydration, head aches, fatigue, etc.), which would be felt later down the road. With the latter, your death would be relatively immediate as opposed to dragging it out. Within seconds the nerve endings in your skin would burn out. Minutes, and the heat of the liquid would reach further into your body and begin to cook your muscles and organs, including your brain. If you're lucky, you go into shock early on and only feel the first excruciating minute or two. Freezing, on the other hand, comes with an entirely different set of problems. Now, for those of you wanting to get frozen only to be thawed out by future generations, good luck. You'd better hope to be frozen in an incredibly slow and specific way. If you freeze too quickly, the water inside your body's cells will form ice crystals that rupture the cell, killing it. But for the more realistic crowd, while it is commonplace, when suffering from hypothermia, to go from cold, to numb, to sleepy, to unconscious, and, finally, to death, scientists have found many cases which individuals have torn their own clothes off before death (leading some to initially suspect sexual assault). This is the result of a sudden burning sensation caused by the dilation of the blood vessels near the surface of your skin. Imagine it's like that tingling sensation you get when your leg falls asleep, but turned up to eleven.

      @ZaBeast they tear their own clothes off because they feel extremely hot because of the burning sensation

    with freezing, you get really cold, then numb, then you fall asleep, then die.

      actually with freezing you get the feeling of being super heated before you die there is no numb because of the way blood flows

    Was hoping someone who chose boil to death would have commented explaining their answer. I don't know why anyone would choose that option.

      boiling would be much faster, if you've ever forgotten to put your glove on when you've been skiing or something you'd know its a lot more painful than you think

      No, it isn't... You would probably violently wake up before you die and have a feeling of being burned alive.

    Freezing to death would take hours, maybe even days. When you actually die, it might be less painful, but the hours of suffering prior to make boiling the best option ( a few minutes )

    Freezing to death is supposed to have this wonderful (idk) warm feeling right before you die.

      Actually, it's supposed to have a terrible feeling of being burned alive right before you die. Most people who have froze to death rip off all of their clothing because of the extreme heat.

    I believe the freezing would be the less painful option, but I want to go out in a boil of glory. Besides, I have always wanted to be dropped into a volcano.

    As I learned in my fire department, you're not dead until you're warm and dead. Chance to be resuscitated.

    Boil implies that your skin would have to first MELT and then get to the temperature of BOILING before you would die. The freezing would be much much quicker and less painful.

    Genghis Kong boil many people to death. Also that's probably the second worst way to die… I think

    When you freeze to death you just kinda go to sleep and don't wake up, burning to death on the other hand...
