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?

I hate it when the ice bounces back.

With a saving throw?

[–] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 35 points 3 days ago (2 children)

that's how you get cold puddle of water that you might step your socks in. the biggest ick.

That's true. Under the fridge with ye!

[–] WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 days ago

socks? and where are the slippers? or do you keep your fridge in the living room?

[–] Cheradenine@sh.itjust.works 22 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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?

[–] meowMix2525@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

To watch you fish it out for them

[–] tomenzgg@midwest.social 1 points 1 day ago

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 prevent the first cat from having fun

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 24 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 25 points 3 days 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.

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.

Instructions unclear, I tried kicking the ice cube while holding it with my hands and got a concussion after falling

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Ice-Cube is now stuck in my ceiling fan.

He's probably got better things to do so you might consider helping him down.

[–] Minnels@lemm.ee 4 points 3 days ago

And most of the time people fail with this and instead bend their back.

[–] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Beyond the Wall we kneel for no man, you expect me to bend it to a bit of ice?

HA!

Stupid kneelers....

Ugh. I hate wearing wet socks SO MUCH that I don’t even like thinking about it. Dammit.
