Anything with a central nervous system feels pain. People just aren't big on caring about fish pain.

1 is low grade pain (sore finger, mild headache). 10 is the worst pain you've ever felt in your life (heart attack, crushed limb, stab wound).
The easiest way to get pain meds at a hospital ER is to state the level of pain, and mention that you do NOT want opiates. That tells the staff right away that you are not an addict. Often, you will get them anyway depending on the severity of your pain/injury, but if you are sitting around for hours in pain, it's because they think you might be an addict, especially if there is no obvious physical trauma. That's why you say no opiates.
If I have to go to the hospital for any kind of pain, I decline opiates every time, even if I am almost screaming from it. I do not want them, Sam I am. Tylenol or ibuprofen will do just fine for me, thank you.
Ibuprofen never seems to work on me (anyway, the worst pain I ever had was from gum/teeth).
For minor pain (eg headache), paracetamol is fine. But for serious pain... I take nimesulide.
Gall bladder pain is pretty bad.

About ten years ago I participated in a medical study regarding pain induced by cold water. For the first test you had to put your bare feet into a bucket of ice water and record your painlevel on the 1-10 scale over time. The second test was basicly the same, you just had also to do a stroop test at the same time. The final test was done in a special MRT, again with ice water and stroop test, but IIRC without the rating.
One of the results of the testing was that the base level of percieved pain is very different between participants and diversion like the stroop test worked very well independent of the base painlevel. I also know they had some results regarding the pain processing in the brain due to the MRT analysis but tbh I can't rememeber if the areas which process pain were different or not during the diversion.
So the 1-10 pain level scale at least seems to have been an academic standard about a decade ago.

Weren't heat-related pain (also survival) tests run* extensively by the nazis (and japanese) in ww2? The records remain, obviously.
*neutral term for what was forced on POWs/enemy civilians, usually leading to horrible death.
About the worst I've felt, next to the worst dental-related pain. It's not easy to describe to someone who's never felt it.

Indeed they were. But in this test it was not the aim to freeze people to their death but to check how diversion can alter the percepted pain level and If the allocated areas in the brain would change. All the participants were voluntary taking part with the option to quit anytime. Also the level of pain was unpleasent but not unbearable. Some people even go ice swimming.
My go to OTC pain med is two of Ibuprofen 200mg and Codeine 12.8mg pills (it works pretty well), and I avoid paracetamol because of the liver issues.
Oh, yes, that's one of the more typical and easy-to-explain ones, but there's others.

I was wondering if there was people whose job is basically finding and acquiring for someone else something difficult to acquire. You know, like a professional shopper but of things hard to find. I've been looking for a specific issue of a magazine issued in the late 90's and I cannot find it anywhere on the internet and that is why I'm wondering if there is such people that offer themselves for finding and acquiring things for you. Are there any?

Good thing that Latin is a dead language because if you had to ask for something black in Latin then you'd probably get in a lot of trouble with your fellow Americans.
Detectives don't just find people. They find stuff as well.
Seems my credit card data is somewhere out there, and someone tried to make a purchase, which was prevented due to 2-factor-authentification.
So... do I need to tell anything to my bank, should I get a new credit card, what is the normal reaction to this
?

Report it to your bank. You may need a new card number. Which is a short term inconvenience for longer term piece of mind.

Maybe you have a double personality?
