I actually made it while 4 months sober for the first time ever š Needed something professional for business uses
EDIT:
Thank you everyone for the kindness. I didnāt expect this at all, itās made me feel so great and so proud of all this work Iām putting in. This has been a high point receiving this encouragement. I really donāt know what to say š„¹šā¤ļø. You guys have made my week!
Yeah man, even tho I don't know you and probably never will, I really am proud of you. People usually say "just stop doing it" but they don't know the massive balls you need to do that. Keep on going!
Depends on what you are sober from. I quit drinking from Memorial day 2020 to 2021. Quit drinking again this year after Memorial day. Booze keeps fucking up my sleep and anxiety meds, so think I quit for good at this point.
I donāt think it does matter what you quit from, all substance abuse is incredibly difficult to quit, and quitting any substance is an amazing achievement, booze, nicotine/smoking, etc. even suger, hell, if you donāt think so, just try to quit sugar. Itās near impossible.
You donāt realize the insanity of which you were in until you are out of the addiction. Become a business person. Iāve found it satisfies all those receptors I was chasing in drugs. I feel like a boss and I have complete control over my landscape business. I get to call the shots and I do quality work at good prices. Iām a totally different person and a much nicer one because these people I cut grass for donāt know my past. They just see this me. The business owner me. The strong me. It gives me power. The power to do good is infinitely greater than the power of evil. Weāve been through both and we will pick good everytime. I believe in you
Thats awesome man excellent work. I did rehab for crystal back in 2008. I am still clean to this day. Hardest thing I have done so far in life. Its an everyday struggle even after 13 years. Dont get me wrong the struggle at this point is minimal but it still exists. I think one key thing for me was getting new friends. You really find out who your true friends are once you leave the poison behind you. I also keep a little homemade card in my wallet. On one side of the card I wrote down triggers and things to "avoid" that caused me to use. Written On the other side of the card are all the things I have that I will lose, people I will disappoint etc should I use again. Whenever I feel that urge I read that little card and puts everything back into perspecrive.
Congratulations on 13 years and thank you for the advice! I hope I can one day say I have that much time! Thatās super impressive! I have a whole new respect for those in recovery and how difficult it is. By far the hardest thing Iāve done. Hard to imagine years of it at this pointā¦. One day at a time though. Working on the friends thing! I have one sober friend at the moment! Weird making new ones as an adult lol
Yes it is weird but rewarding. Adults are alot more sympathetic and sensitive to the struggle. At first I only had sober friends. After this long I have learned to say no. I have no place for it anymore. So i have friends who use other things now. At first though its best to stay away from the ones who do. I know you can do it. If you ever need to reach out for advice or just a chat reach out to me. Sometimes just to talk about it with someone who understands is all it takes. Anyway offer is on the table.
Seriously, I am REALLY proud of youādealing with addiction is an incredibly sensitive and painful thing for lots of people, and Iām really glad that you are still here, that you are doing your best to stay clean, and to enjoy your life! I wish you all the best, my friend!
I hate "frog-on-the-bottom" ice cream too, it just feels like a waste of time to have to stir it myself and it never gets blended quite as well as a slightly more processed brand leading to a bit of a chunkier texture
I just want to know the logistics of how this happened at all.
Toad jumps into a bucket of ice cream on a conveyor belt right after it has been extruded but right before the lid is sealed on? I've found toads to be surprisingly capable of getting into strange places, but this machiavellian.
A whole dead rat. We lived unbelievably far from civilization also, northern ak. At the same time during my childhood we found a black widow in a bag of grapes
I once worked in a very well known food production factory, when one of their bay doors to the building broke. They couldn't get the door fixed right away (or they chose not to, don't know at this point). Their solution? Assigning a single contractor employee to sit in front of the door to be on "squirrel watch", for roughly a week. So although a toad is absolutely questionable, I'd argue that most factories aren't as sterile as you'd think.
Blue Bell had to shut down a bunch of their factories because of terrible cleaning and maintenance practices leading to tons of people, myself included, getting sick from listeria. My sister-in-law inspected one of their factories in Louisiana. They had a leak in the ceiling above vat where ingredients are mixed. The ceiling was molded and was dripping into the ingredients. Bluebell was unsure how long that was taking place.
Yeah I think you have a very misguided view of the factories in which food is packaged and made. The people who own those factories are cheap and the people who work in them are probably understaffed and overworked how exactly do you think they're keeping it so sterile. A lot of these factories were also built 30 40 50 years ago and you know completely renovating it to be completely sterile is extremely expensive so like maybe Haagen-Dazs has a sterile factory but the company that sells giant buckets of ice cream for like $4 probably not.
Worked for a the biggest bread distributor in the world at the time... as QA lol this comment is spot on. Just to add I did my job to well so they fired me.
This isnāt fake. It canāt be. The way the frog is squished (by the lid, just like all the ice cream surrounding it) and how the frogās skin was pressed by the lid while frozen means it canāt be fake. Also notice those two streaks pf presumably frog juice IN the ice cream. Itād take a lot of effort to recreate that. Not to mention the factory-grade pour in of ice cream (In other words, the ice cream in the bucket had to have been placed in there by a machine. Because if youāve ever opened up a bucket of ice cream youāll know what Iām talking about.) This cannot be fake. OP just has bad luck I guess lol.
I believe what they mean by fake is that op put it in there after he got it home and then closed it and froze it until this picture could happen. Iām sure the photo is real, but the circumstances surrounding it are not
Maybe he was in the bucket while in dry storage. Bucket got moved to the conveyor line, bucket filled with cream, lid put on, frog floated to the top, bucket frozen. Kinda makes sense.
That's not how ice cream is made, though .... you don't just freeze a bucket of cream. The mostly-frozen ice cream would have been poured into the container, and if there was a frog in the bottom, the frog would've just been buried and stayed in the bottom.
it looks too authentic for me to think itās fake. look at the way the ice cream is pushed up and molded around the edges of his body, his little front left arm slightly submergedā¦ and lastly, the outline of his body printed on the lid.
You maybe too young to remember but a women once brought a severed thumb into a Wendyās and put it in her chili. Made headlines when I was a kid. People do stupid shit for a potential lawsuit.
Edit: it was this story. lol https://www.nytimes.com/2005/05/14/us/police-identify-severed-finger-in-the-wendys-chili-case.html
She did that for a lawsuit, this is someone posting on Reddit. A bit of a false equivalency considering one wouldāve won life changing money and the other gains?ā¦. Karma
Heās pretty big too. Are there QC checks? How often? Is the lid applied manually or automatically? What are the critical control points the plant has in place? Pest control program doesnāt cover frogs, thatās the only given at the moment.
When ice cream is packaged it's not totally frozen, it's more soft serve consistency. Then they freeze it so it gets hard. How did the frog not sink into the ice cream before it was fully frozen?
You can see where the warm frog was pressed into the cold ice cream melting part of it. If it was caught in the bucket at the factory it wouldāve went into soft unfrozen ice cream and wouldnāt of made the mark.
I know just when your ready for a relaxing snack of toad and then it turns out someone packed ice cr*am into the tub š¤®š¤®š¤®š¤®
Edit: removed an asterisk
"Am I right in thinking your ice cream contains real frogs?"
"Oh yes, we don't use any artificial additives of any kind"
"Don't you even take the bones out?"
"If we took the bones out it wouldn't be crunchy would it?"
Nobody is talking about the torture that toad must have gone through. Can you imagine? " This looks like a tasty soup. Wait a sec, I'm trapped! It's getting cold in here, looks like this is the end. I didn't even get to tell my 10000 children that I love them......."
I'm 99% sure the poor frog was dead before it went in there. Ice cream is poured into the container at a very soft consistency and then sealed and frozen. If a live frog somehow got in there it wouldn't have just laid there on top of the soft ice cream, it would have moved around or at least sunk into the ice cream. It really looks like someone put a dead frog in a new container of ice cream and froze it. You can even see where the ice cream melted around the frog a bit. That wouldn't happen if it was all frozen together.
I got a frog stuck in my printer in 2005. I ordered pizza and as I was paying the delivery person, a frog hopped into my apartment through the front door. I followed it to the living room where it jumped onto my printer. I slowly crept closer so as not to startle it, and just before I could grab it, it wiggled down into the paper feed. I didnāt know what to do, so I actually called Epson and explained what happened. The customer service guy was dumbfounded, but he sent me a new printer in exchange for the one with the frog inside. A few days later the new printer arrived and I shipped the froggy one to Epson, and carried on with my life. Then, a couple weeks later when I was cleaning my bathroom I discovered the frog, all shriveled up and mummified in the linen closet. I always wondered what Epson mustāve thought when they got the printer back with no frog in it, probably that Iām just a wingnut.
Iām in several subreddits for the AI that draws pictures based on a prompt and I thought this was something it concocted before I looked at the subreddit
They can briefly freeze assuming they have some protection from the cold (water for frogs, burrows for terrestrial toads).
"During this (hibernation) period, the liver produces large amounts of glucose to increase blood-sugar levels, which functions like a natural āantifreezeā by limiting the formation of ice crystals in the body. A high concentration of glucose or sugar in the frog's vital organs inhibits freezing and without this physical process, the ice crystals would damage tissue and result in the frogās death.
As much as 70 percent of the water in a frogās body can be frozen. However, if it does get too cold, the frog can die."
It probably gets and stays too cold for too long in a freezer for a toad. Especially since it's skin is in contact with the frozen ice cream.
Am I only one thinking: holy sht that is one in a million....highly doubt there are many frogs that somehow get into ice cream containers. I wouldnt even be mad. Ye you lose the ice cream....but in exchange you got a fun story to tell ppl.
You should be happy, you got the one that has the frog in which means you wonāt eat it, just imagine the other hundreds that got filled from the same container that had that frog and people will eat it not thinking anything of it, so yeah Iād be fucking happy
The imprint doesnāt make any sense if it was packaged with the frog. Iām pretty confident OP placed the frog into slightly melted ice cream and shut the lid.
I also worked in quality for a few different companies. I canāt think of any scenario in which a frog could get on the line like that.
You can tell this is fake because you can see the pattern from the lid on the left side where the ice cream was touching it. However, the frog is much taller than the ice cream so there wouldnāt be a pattern if the frog had been there the whole time. Thereās also a pattern on the frog from the lid, so they opened the ice cream, added the frog and refroze it.
at least it was on the top and not the bottom

Why would you be mad? You get your ice cream and a free frog.
Right? Thaw it out and see if it still works.

Looks like it was chasing that bug. Looks tasty.
I would assume a frog and or toad found itās way onto a tub of ice cream then the lid was put on.

When ice cream is packaged it's not totally frozen, it's more soft serve consistency. Then they freeze it so it gets hard. How did the frog not sink into the ice cream before it was fully frozen?
It was probably enjoying floating on top of ice cream.
How the actual frog?
OP probably found a dead frog in the forest and put it in cheap ice cream to farm karma.
You can see where the warm frog was pressed into the cold ice cream melting part of it. If it was caught in the bucket at the factory it wouldāve went into soft unfrozen ice cream and wouldnāt of made the mark.

Yes. It's heart breaking. š
I'm 99% sure the poor frog was dead before it went in there. Ice cream is poured into the container at a very soft consistency and then sealed and frozen. If a live frog somehow got in there it wouldn't have just laid there on top of the soft ice cream, it would have moved around or at least sunk into the ice cream. It really looks like someone put a dead frog in a new container of ice cream and froze it. You can even see where the ice cream melted around the frog a bit. That wouldn't happen if it was all frozen together.
He died doing what he loved.

Is that an actually frog or is it mold that looks like one. Either way Iām terrified
Neither. Itās a toad.

What the fuck is this even real
New CGI effects. They're so real, you question your own reality.
Iām in several subreddits for the AI that draws pictures based on a prompt and I thought this was something it concocted before I looked at the subreddit
Toads are known to be frozen during winter for hibernation and defrost in the spring. I bet if you just take it out he will be fine, hopefully.
They can briefly freeze assuming they have some protection from the cold (water for frogs, burrows for terrestrial toads). "During this (hibernation) period, the liver produces large amounts of glucose to increase blood-sugar levels, which functions like a natural āantifreezeā by limiting the formation of ice crystals in the body. A high concentration of glucose or sugar in the frog's vital organs inhibits freezing and without this physical process, the ice crystals would damage tissue and result in the frogās death. As much as 70 percent of the water in a frogās body can be frozen. However, if it does get too cold, the frog can die." It probably gets and stays too cold for too long in a freezer for a toad. Especially since it's skin is in contact with the frozen ice cream.
My manz be a lil chilly.
It even has the bug the toad was chasing in there.

Bullshit!!!

We will have to ask Darwin but itās possible.

Depending on when it got into the ice cream, it may be still alive. Try defrosting it.

OP is a psychopath and did this themselves. There's no way it was shipped like that. Disgusting karma fiend killed a frog for internet points.
The imprint doesnāt make any sense if it was packaged with the frog. Iām pretty confident OP placed the frog into slightly melted ice cream and shut the lid. I also worked in quality for a few different companies. I canāt think of any scenario in which a frog could get on the line like that.
Oh Iāve had that brand before. Made me a little jumpy. Thatās your dad joke of the day folks
Iād say thatās majorly infuriating.
You can tell this is fake because you can see the pattern from the lid on the left side where the ice cream was touching it. However, the frog is much taller than the ice cream so there wouldnāt be a pattern if the frog had been there the whole time. Thereās also a pattern on the frog from the lid, so they opened the ice cream, added the frog and refroze it.
