It’s all water under the fridge
A fridge over troubled water
I am in awe
You could retire off this pun.
He is already retired
We need to deal with this now though. We can just keep kicking this ice under the fridge
Kill me.
Later.
Fake: OP outside their house
Gay: spending time with a man
can’t be sure but “> at guys house” reads like it was written by a woman
How many women do you know who post on 4chan?
about 3
tree fiddy?
Rule 30
I think you’re missing the point, woman stands for woke open-minded man
ahh makes sense
That would contradict Rule 30.
right, my bad
Is spending time with a man gay if anon is a girl?
Did I stutter?
anon is a girl
definitely gay
- me, an icecube
- finally, it’s my day to shine
- someone finally takes me out of the fridge
- clumsy mofo drops me, I’m spiraling downwards into the deep unkown
- when i think it can’t be worse, i got kicked back into the darkness i came from
- fml
- me, an ice cube
- ugh, no I don’t want to leave the freezer
- oh no! He’s picking me! Grab one of my annoying neighbours please!
- you know what? I’ll jump out of his hands! He’ll surely have to pick me up and put me back.
- what the fuck? He just kicks me underneath the freezer to melt uselessly?!
- fml
- me, an ice cube
- can’t wait to get out of this place
- door opens every day, but never get to leave
- anon finally picks me out–this is my chance
- wriggle out of his inept grip
- make a break for freedom under the fridge
- mfw the fuckwit helps by actually kicking me further under
- me, an ice cube
- want to see the outside
- the door opens and i get picked
- exited i try to look around
- get dropped on the floor, still exited
- get kicked under the fridge
- enraged i take revenge by feeding mold and warping the floor
My brother-in-law did this at my house the other day! My jaw almost hit the floor watching him try to kick that shit under the fridge. He did it in front of his son too. They didn’t seee behind them, so I bent over and picked up the cubes and told them we don’t do that in this house. I told my wife and she told her sister, they were both surprised. I had no idea people did this. Just pick them up and toss them in the sink.
Rinse the ice and then keep using it. It’s literally pristine again.
Something tells me we can trust this user on their knowledge of ice and its limits.
Between the 5 second rule and rinsing, the ice is probably cleaner than it was from the tray.
Ice is naturally antimicrobial because North Face doesn’t make any coats small enough for bacteria and whatever so they get too cold and drive their little RVs down to Little Florida

Melt the ice cube, boil the resulting water to evaporate it, collect the vapour in a condenser, refreeze it… boom!
you are joking, but lately i’ve been seeing reusable ice cubes made of a plastic cube with water inside…
just… eww
I’m actually not joking, if you rinse an ice cube. Superficial ice immediately melts and is rinsed away. You could have dipped it in engine oil and it would be immediately pure ice after rinsing.
Yeah, it’s probably fine… but still, it’s just an ice cube. Maybe if it’s like… the last one or something.
You’re assuming that all the contamination is on the surface, but there is hair, lint, and other particles under your fridge that will stick into the ice.
Also, your example of motor oil was a poor choice. Oil is probably not going to stick to your ice, unless it is in contact long enough to freeze, or get viscous enough to cling to it, and oil will not rinse away cleanly.
Also, how bad to you need to save one ice cube?
Hair and lint can stick to the ice, but try it for yourself, ice isn’t a sponge. The only way for anything on the surface to work it’s way in is to melt it’s way in, and then freeze the outer shell again. Akin to dropping the ice, kicking it under the fridge, fishing it back out, tossing it back into the ice tray. In which case, you deserve all the hair in your cocktail.

It’s generally not just water inside
maybe some antibacterial agent but they can’t straight up put car coolant or it would kill people if accidentally ingested
Propylene glycol/water mix would be my guess; they noticeably don’t crystalize the same way pure water does
My cats like to lick ice cubes so I’ll leave them for them to lick across the floor lol
Yeah I either let my cat play with the ice or put it in her waterbowl.
told my wife and she told her sister
Imagine kicking them under the fridge instead of just leaving them where they lie.
I asked my wife to pick up ice cubes she dropped because it would be too easy to slip on them. I might have lost it when she then tried to kick them under the fridge.
“Tried”? She missed somehow?
The fridge was a low-rider.
I hate it when the ice bounces back.
She was stopped.
With a saving throw?
Or just throwing them in the sink? Y’all crazy.
They’re on the floor. How would I get them to the sink?? I don’t think even Messi could kick them up there.
So there’s these things halfway up your legs and they’re called knees. These can bend so that you can lower your upper body towards the floor, allowing your arms to reach the ice cube when extended.
And most of the time people fail with this and instead bend their back.
Beyond the Wall we kneel for no man, you expect me to bend it to a bit of ice?
HA!
Stupid kneelers…
This is my cats job. If he hears an ice cube fall he will run in, find it, and start batting it around the floor. Within seconds it’s under the fridge.
I have two cats and one of them can play with a toy reliably for whole minutes at a time without losing it under a piece of furniture, the other one, instantly pushes it under the sofa. Why?
I don’t have it on have but some theorize it’s to recreate the endorphin rush they get when you play with them and it’s momentarily out of sight. Having to find it is part of the fun; of course, they’re unable to find it, now…
Dunno how universally that’s held but I did read it, one time.
To watch you fish it out for them
sock murderer
Ugh. I hate wearing wet socks SO MUCH that I don’t even like thinking about it. Dammit.
Maybe it’s because I’ve mainly lived in temperate climates but this seems like a great way to get a lot of mold under your fridge.
I’m trying really hard not to comment something like “Welcome to one of many, many joys of living with an immature teenage child.”
Kicking the ice under the fridge is actually one of the least aggravating of the shitty things to do in the kitchen, but so indicative of what type of person they are. Other well-known classics include leaving a microscopically small portion of milk in the carton to avoid having to rinse the thing out and place it in the recycle bin and using the last clean cup in the cabinet so that you don’t have to bring one of the dozen+ dirty cups you’ve accumulated in your room to the kitchen to be cleaned for reuse. Oh, and let’s not forget drop a spoon of peanut butter the floor and leave it for the dog to clean up even though you know she’s allergic to it so it makes her throw up and then later on causes a bunch of skin issues for her.
No, I’m not the least bit bitter. Why do you ask?

I have this formative moment from my teenage years where I finished something in the fridge and asked my parents if I should leave the packaging in there. My dad, obviously frustrated with the question, snapped back asking if I saw an accumulation of empty packaging in the fridge.
My kids are starting to do this now. I’m still perplexed why this is the default our brains take.

I read through that literacy link a bit. Very interesting. I was assuming at least a majority of the adult illiteracy was from people born outside the country, but that’s only 34% of them! Do you know how California has the lowest rate by state? Are those 34% concentrated there, or is public school particularly bad there? I’m not American.

I think its just a “this was in there before so it must go back in after im done using it,” since it’s only when it’s fully empty that changes.
Very well said!
It’s like everybody wants an easy shortcut to living a good life, and they don’t know the secret, so they just go through life on autopilot letting society tell them what they should be into.
Sometimes remembering to live in the moment and appreciate the simple things will be the best part of my day.
You’re overthinking this. He doesn’t care because he didn’t see the consequences. He throws in the ice. He cleans and take shot the trash.
A lot of people start thinking real fast when they have to face the consequences of their actions.
years back, my eldest daughter was the only one in the family with long hair (wife and I keep ours short, at the time the rest of the kids also kept short hair - that’s changed now), and she would just let that go down the drain in the bath, which would eventually clog the drain.
The first couple times, I cleaned it and had gotten one of those strainer things to help keep the hair out. She would always “forget” to use it, even though it was always over the drain (the plug is one of those pop-up ones so you can open and close it without moving the strainer out of the way).
The next time the drain clogged, I handed her a bag and an old pair of pliers and told her to get to cleaning. That strainer has been on the drain ever since.

I don’t mind that, because I use a small amount of milk for coffee and even a tiny bit is enough.
Fuck, I want to kill myself
why would a milk carton need to be rinsed before recycling?
Fictictous and Homosexual, anon is trying to scare off the girl.
He is correct
Next look up the wiki pages for mildew and mold.
If it happens often enough to be worried about mold you probably have worse issues than that

I don’t bother with such peasantry. My servants handle that.
I don’t have servants
I do this occasionally, but I live in Arizona.

Well that, and the air is really dry so water evaporates quickly.

This is a power move ngl
Professional chefs are far worse.
You would think they would be infinitely better than this.
They can afford to pay someone to clean up their messes
Wait until femanom (and some people in this thread) hear about the drip tray under their own fridge
Doesn’t your underfloor heating deal with it pretty quickly?
My butler takes care of it.
All houses/apartments have underfloor heating in at least the entryway and the bathroom and the vast majority also have it in the kitchen. I even lived in a place that had it through the whole flat. I’m poor as shit, so I just assumed it was commonplace everywhere.
I’ve lived in one apartment that had underfloor heating and it was like a very expensive massive 4 bedroom one.
I mean on reflection its probably more common where I live because its wet and cold.
Printer in the drawer that bad a thing?
