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.

[–] icelimit@lemmy.ml 78 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Rinse the ice and then keep using it. It's literally pristine again.

[–] javiwhite@feddit.uk 65 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Something tells me we can trust this user on their knowledge of ice and its limits.

[–] Cheradenine@sh.itjust.works 28 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Between the 5 second rule and rinsing, the ice is probably cleaner than it was from the tray.

Melt the ice cube, boil the resulting water to evaporate it, collect the vapour in a condenser, refreeze it... boom!

[–] isolatedscotch@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 11 months ago (7 children)

you are joking, but lately i've been seeing reusable ice cubes made of a plastic cube with water inside...

just.. eww

[–] groet@feddit.org 21 points 11 months ago (6 children)

just.. eww

Why? Just clean them after every use. How is a plastic cube different than drinking from a plastic cup?

I have steel cubes with liquid inside (not sure if water) and I love them. I can put ice cubes into beer and other drinks without watering them down.

[–] Strakh@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago

Metal ones seem nice. I agree with the plastic ones being shitty though. It just seems like more waste and microplastics being added to my brain fork.

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.

It doesn't work if you don't pre-print this out.

Imagine kicking them under the fridge instead of just leaving them where they lie.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 43 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 32 points 11 months ago (3 children)

“Tried”? She missed somehow?

[–] snoons@lemmy.ca 26 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The fridge was a low-rider.

[–] Heathcliff@lemm.ee 12 points 11 months ago

I hate it when the ice bounces back.

Or just throwing them in the sink? Y’all crazy.

[–] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 25 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They're on the floor. How would I get them to the sink?? I don't think even Messi could kick them up there.

[–] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 16 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (5 children)

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.

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.

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.

It’ll evaporate in less than 24 hours. Not enough time for mould to develop. If I drop ice cube, I allow my cat to play with it without cleaning it up.

Fictictous and Homosexual, anon is trying to scare off the girl.

[–] GooberEar@lemmy.wtf 31 points 11 months ago (4 children)

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?
