Alright, folks, let’s dive into something I messed around with today – making an “ice cube kill at will” scenario. Sounds kinda wild, right? It’s all just for fun, playing with concepts, so don’t get any crazy ideas!
The Idea
The basic thought was, could you, theoretically, use a chunk of ice as a… well, you know… and have it disappear? Melts away, no evidence, see? I know, I know, it’s straight out of a bad movie. But hey, I was bored.
Getting Started
First, I grabbed a regular ice cube tray. The ones that make those boring, square-ish cubes. Filled it up with water, stuck it in the freezer. Waited. Patiently. Okay, maybe not that patiently. I kept checking on it like a kid waiting for cookies.
Shaping the “Weapon”
Once the cubes were solid, I popped one out. Now, this is where things got a little tricky. I wanted something, shall we say, “pointy.” So, I grabbed a small knife – a butter knife, nothing serious! – and started carefully chipping away at the ice. It was surprisingly difficult. Ice is slippery, and it melts fast. I ended up with something that vaguely resembled a very crude icicle.
- Tip 1: Work fast! That ice cube won’t stay frozen forever.
- Tip 2: Maybe wear gloves? My fingers got numb pretty quick.
- Tip 2: Be gentle the ice is very easy broken.
The “Test”
Okay, no actual “killing” happened, obviously. I used a big block of cheese as my, uh, “target.” I figured it was soft enough to show if my ice-dagger could actually do anything.
I held my melty, misshapen ice-thing and… poked the cheese. It went in, a little bit. Not very deep, but it definitely made a mark. And then, of course, it started melting even faster, dripping all over the place.
The Aftermath
Within minutes, my “weapon” was just a puddle of water on the counter. The cheese had a small, watery hole in it. Mission accomplished? Sort of. It was more messy and less effective than I imagined.
Final Thoughts
So, could you really “kill at will” with an ice cube? Probably not. It’s way too impractical. It melts too fast, it’s hard to shape, and honestly, you’d probably just end up with cold fingers and a wet mess. It’s a fun thought experiment, though. But let’s stick to using ice for keeping our drinks cold, okay?
If I’m going to do it again, I’ll probably find a better mold, maybe even a long, thin one, to skip all the trouble.
