    I worked at a fast food restaurant with a fryer like that and it was a rite of passage for new employees to throw at least one chip of ice into it like a grenade and try to dodge the results. agony-yehaw

          i'm going to explain the joke now

          this is a disco elysium meme. disco elysium is a murder mystery RPG. One of the features of the game is that the main character's emotions come alive and speak to him as though they were characters separate from him (like the shoulder angel/shoulder devil except there's like 16 of them). These intrusive thought-characters often make suggestions to the main character to do dangerous, absurd, or unwise things. However, never in the game does the main character interact with a bag of ice or a deep fryer. The joke of this meme is that this is something that would or could happen in disco elyisum. it is very characteristic of the game. understanding the joke is admittedly somewhat dependent on both having played the game and knowing what happens when you throw ice in boiling oil.

    I was gonna dump some tofu in a deep fryer the other day and realized too late that there was a LOT of liquid in this container so I like dumped a bunch of tofu water in the fryer and hahahahaha man it made some scary noises and I definitely wasn't worried that 450 degree oil would overflow and go everywhere

    Friendly reminder that baking soda is a safe thing to use to douse a grease fire. Water will fucking end your day, and your rental deposit, and/or burn your motherfuckin' house down.

    I did this with a piece of frozen icy

    spoiler

    fish

    since my sister told me it was ok, no it was not. Never had something that was raw on the inside and overcooked on the outside like that was. Also did it with ice cream since I heard about fried ice cream, no that's not how it worked.

      What happened to the fried ice cream?

      You should try a fried Mars bar. Or a Crunchie, I've heard.

        Made a mess of oil and milk and mom got really mad. Also permanently made me nervous about frying things, not because I got burned but because of how upset mom was after finding out of my icy fried adventures.

        Never got to try a fried Mars bar, they don't sell them where I live now. Some dude from Glasgow was telling me to try that too like it was the best thing on Earth. I did try a fried twinkie and snickers, they were ok but he was making it sound like the heavens would open up and some invisible chorus would sing upon eating any of those things. Nah.

          The thing about ice cream is that it's only really viable as a fair food. The oil vat needs to be big and hot as hell while the ice cream needs to be kept below whatis generally a desirable temperature. It's pretty descent but honestly not worth the trouble to make yourself

            This was in an itty bitty pot full of oil brought to an unknown temperature my sister wagered was 'hot enough', I still fry things like that...

              Yeah the classic "hot enough" temperature

              Many a fried foods ruined that way 😔
