After the past few years, those of us who remain traumatized by the pandemic might start becoming wholly aware of germs and how they spread.

One of the most horrifying ways you might be distressed to learn is actually the ice machines in a fast food restaurant. You know—the ones that sit in the middle of the soda fountain, luring you in with the promise of cooling your beverage.


Do not fall for their siren call, friend.

See ahead.

BLECH.

Giphy

An HVACR (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) worker exposed the amount of filth restaurants often allow their ice machines to simply exist in.

"A lot of times people go to a restaurant and get sick, and they think it's food poisoning. Let me tell you—there's a chance it was their ice that got you sick."

People were appalled.

The amount of microbes floating around in this scummy, disgusting water is absolutely unacceptable.

Some of them can even spread E. coli and coliform.

The restaurant stays unidentified in the video, but the original poster implies this type of treatment is also common in restaurants across the United States.

Our original poster has a channel full of videos of the most disgusting ice machines he has ever come across.

He strongly advises, in each video, that you order your restaurant beverage without any ice.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves.
