Okay, so when he puts a pregnant woman in the fridge it's cute, but when I have seven in the freezer it's all of a sudden "deeply disturbing"?

Fr the HOA always cares about how many freezers you have.

Yeah, then you have the problem of the head of the HOA caring about how many heads of the HOA you have...

Turns out George Lucas wasn't crazy; surviving a catastrophe inside a refrigerator is actually a completely viable strategy.

u/RandomUsername78421 10h ago
Yeah but as 80s TV showed me those old fridges had latches on them and you would suffocate if you played hide and go seek in one.

u/DonkeyBonked 9h ago
Only us poor kids were at any risk, so I don't think people were too worried about it. Most of them had too much food in their fridge to play hide and seek in it.

This dad has officially locked down the ultimate, unbeatable "I brought you into this world" story for the rest of that kid's life.

I believe it because the source says the thing capsized pretty fast and she had to swim lol

A guy I work with who’s a very outspoken flat earther has a thirteen year old who removed all the food from their fridge, climbed in, and shut the door for some kind of internet clout. Guy showed up to work the day after almost bragging about it. Kid climbed in at like 10am. Dad (guy) is the first one home from work everyday at about 4pm and walked in to all the fridge stuff on the counters. Had to call EMS because his kid was damn near frozen and asphyxiated from being in there so long… Apparently the door being open so long to remove food, then shut with them inside, caused a hot/cold vacuum of sorts and they couldn’t get it back open. While telling us this, all of our jaws dropped and several coworkers went on rants about “how could someone be so foolish”! Dude just laughed, waved his hand, and said “kids! What ya gonna do you know”…. He’s also someone who tried to straighten an industrial bandsaw blade while it was running, with his fingers… He’s a nephew of the owners though so that was just brushed over and never talked about again.

u/failedopportunities 6h ago
Yes.. They are. However, he’s not registered to vote yet (hopefully never!), so we have that going for us! There’s plenty to take his place though..

Suffocation is a risk

u/anotherdisciple 9h ago
Yeah I was wondering about that. I guess you could open the door for fresh air? But it still seems risky.

u/stoic_wooky 9h ago edited 9h ago
It’s quite difficult to open from the inside because of the suction/ vacuum, maybe having a thin tool to hand to make a gap would mitigate suffocation
1
u/Pyrhan 9h ago
You only get a vacuum if the fridge is colder than the outside.
(Hot air gets in when you open it, then cools down and contracts once you close it. So pressure drops a little.)

Semantics really , I wasn’t trying to prove a point. I understand convection of body heat/breath/carbon monoxide poisoning.

Honestly, this is the most impressive, high-stakes advertisement for structural integrity that a major appliance company could ever ask for.

Going from chilling snacks to floating an entire family through a natural disaster is an absolute legendary upgrade for a kitchen appliance.

Fridges are seen as dangerous portals to hell in some childlore for a reason.

u/YouGurt_MaN14 9h ago
Still are, I moved a fridge outside to my car port and the city drove by and told me it's a danger to kids bc they could get stuck in it. It was a fine if it didn't move it back

God I hope not. The inevitable suffocation. The potential flipping and drowning.
The refrigerator on the right is one door, the one on the left is two door.
People are fucking majority dense as fuck.

Read the story. Fridge on the left is their new fridge. She attempted the fridge boat. It worked for a bit, but capsized. She swam about 1km to saftey. 20 people weren't so lucky and died.
An 18-year-old pregnant woman was placed inside a duplex refrigerator to try to escape a flood in Mimoso do Sul (Espírito Santo, Brazil). The idea came from the young woman's husband, who was trying to save his wife and their unborn baby. Even so, the appliance tipped over, and she was forced to swim for nearly a kilometer

I don't believe any of the twitter/instagram screenshot posts that get shared here or on any major, big subreddit.
It's all fake nonsense.

u/Individual_Respect90 9h ago
You really need to get off Reddit and find out who is shitting in your fridge. That seems like a pretty big pressing issue.

u/Impossible-Diver6565 10h ago
They make you remove the doors when disposed of because of you ever landed on the door while inside you would be able to get out. Happened to many people/ children over the years.

just make sure it's unplugged first you don't want to get electrocuted while surviving

Miguel never knew he had a child, and continues to put pregnant women in refrigerators to this day.
