Get a drink with more alcohol in it. It will survive longer

[–] Sylvartas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 12 minutes ago

Roughly 1 degree below 0°C per degree (percent) of alcohol is the rule of thumb I was taught

get a wife. you leave one drink to long in the freezer a few dozen times and they never let you live it down.

I've learned the hard way (multiple times) that if beverage goes into freezer a timer of one hour MUST be set on my phone or smart speaker, because I gaslighted myself into believing it's illegal to put drinks in the freezer and if someone finds out I'll be arrested.

[–] Sekoia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 32 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

FUCK I put a snack in the freezer like... 5 days ago? And completely forgot about it until now

This will happen again I can't fetch it right now

[–] SirHery@lemmy.world 7 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

Jo when you home buddy? Set a timer.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 0 points 5 hours ago

Smartphones have location-based reminders. Just ask Siri or whatever Google calls theirs this month.

[–] figaro@lemdro.id 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

This. I put protein shakes in the freezer bc they taste better the colder they are. They aren't good though if you freeze them then let them thaw, so it's a pretty high risk game. I try to remember to set a 30 minute timer on my phone whenever I do it.

I'm in this picture and I don't like it.

[–] arandomthought@sh.itjust.works 76 points 19 hours ago (7 children)

Know thyself and set a timer. I don't allow myself to do stuff like that without setting an alarm.

[–] whostosay@lemmy.world 24 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Beep, beep, beep,

Beep, beep, beep,

What's that for, again?

Better turn it off

[–] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

MultiTimer for Android and iOS: Set as many labelled timers as you like.

Android (not sure about iOS) you can also label your native alarm app alarms.

Can recommend 👍👍

"Why does it smell burnt? I am sure I set a timer!"

[–] d00ery@lemmy.world 9 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (2 children)

"Hey Google, set a 20 min reminder*, 'drinks in the freezer'"

20 mins later Google will notify "Brinks the breezer" but hopefully that's enough to remind me.

Yep! My fridge has a one-tap 30-min timer specifically for drinks in the freezer (you can also then adjust the time with more taps). Needless to say, it is one of the most used functions of my fridge (☞゚ヮ゚)☞

[–] arandomthought@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 hours ago

Don't know wheter it is a "smart fridge" but that's one smart fridge!

[–] hayes_@sh.itjust.works 11 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

20 minutes later: silences timer because I’m too focused on something else.

2 days later: … crap.

I have graduated to even screwing up my timers. Now the timer doesn't get silenced until the thing it is timing gets accomplished. Unless I'm distracted and fail to use that rule, then it's back to square one of course.

Edit: whoops, two people already said basically this. Guess I'll leave it

My ex. Never me. I'd drink soda warm before id risk it bursting.

My ADHD absolutely can't handle that clean up.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

If you get lucky it supercools before freezing and the shock of the vessel breaching is enough to freeze the rest of it mid-explosion. The one time I've had a bottle burst (luckily the cap gave way first), that happened and I was left with a bottle with frozen liquid holding the cap a few cm above the bottle and minimal dripping.

[–] the_artic_one@programming.dev 11 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

It's even faster to put it in ice water and the worst that can happen if you forget about it is your drink gets warm again.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 4 points 11 hours ago

Add salt to the ice water so it melts colder and it will cool your drink faster.

[–] whoisearth@lemmy.ca 6 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

So many exploded cans and bottles in my youth but also the magic when you got it and your coke was in slushie form and then you added booze.

Chefs kiss

[–] Godnroc@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

My family had a recipe for brandy slush that used the alcohol to prevent the mix from freezing solid. It was a big hit at summer parties.

[–] AgentGrimstone@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

I didn't forget but I put it all the way in the back to speed up the process and ended up with a slushy

[–] Wiz@midwest.social 18 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Now try something in the oven.

YES, A TIMER IS NECESSARY!

[–] BenLeMan@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

Good thing my oven has an integrated timer. In fact, it won't work without setting the timer. Never thought about how much grief that must have saved me already.

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

Me: I'm gonna season and dry the wok for a few minutes while I do the dishes.

does dishes

walks out of room.

air quality alert from filter goes off saying bad air quality.

Shit the wok!

[–] TheAlbatross@lemmy.blahaj.zone 23 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

You mean my roommate wasn't trying to make beer slushy all over the freezer daily?

That's why I always set a 1 hour timer. Or I will definitely forget.

[–] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 22 points 19 hours ago (6 children)

Sometimes I set a timer and when it chimes I've already forget what it was for lol

[–] dustyData@lemmy.world 12 points 18 hours ago

On most smartphones you can give titles to timers.

Obviously it won't work for cold drinks, but for warm drinks, I got my wife a few of these:

She still forgets her drinks, but now when she finds them, they've usually maintained the desired temperature.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

What drink?
