No you won’t “definitely won’t forget this time”

You mean my roommate wasn’t trying to make beer slushy all over the freezer daily?
No I wasn’t
Hey sodas are great for that. If you’re careful when you remove it, you can have a slushy in a can
Know thyself and set a timer. I don’t allow myself to do stuff like that without setting an alarm.
“Hey Google, set a 20 min reminder*, ‘drinks in the freezer’”
20 mins later Google will notify “Brinks the breezer” but hopefully that’s enough to remind me.
Yeah I get real snotty with the assistant too, cussing it out and talking mad shit. I don’t care if a future AI catches me out. Fuck Roku’s Basilisk, either a superhuman AI respects lesser beings or it’s no better than a flawed hypocrite like me.
Give it the British lady voice and it will soothe your rage when it fucks up.
Everyone’s gotta learn the hard way.
Oh yes, that rule I set for my self is written in
bloodmoldy laundry.
Beep, beep, beep,
Beep, beep, beep,
What’s that for, again?
Better turn it off
“Why does it smell burnt? I am sure I set a timer!”
MultiTimer for Android and iOS: Set as many labelled timers as you like.
Android (not sure about iOS) you can also label your native alarm app alarms.
Can recommend 👍👍
20 minutes later: silences timer because I’m too focused on something else.
2 days later: … crap.
“Guess I’m re-washing that load of laundry.”
Again…
Don’t you fucking call me out like that, dammit
I have graduated to even screwing up my timers. Now the timer doesn’t get silenced until the thing it is timing gets accomplished. Unless I’m distracted and fail to use that rule, then it’s back to square one of course.
Edit: whoops, two people already said basically this. Guess I’ll leave it
I love when my timer goes off and I have no memory of setting it. Which critically important thing am I forgetting now?
Rule 1: set timers Rule 2: name ‘em
I usually press the “+1 minute” button and then the “pause” button. That way it stays in the tray of my phone and I’m too OCD to not get rid of it as soon as possible. Then of course you have to adhere to the rule of only removing the timer once you did what you set the timer for…
Use alarms and snooze them instead giving you 10 min until it rimgs again. Repeat until task is done
But then don’t you have to set it to a precise time on the clock each time you use it, rather than “30 min in the future”, for example? The issue for me is timers that I set often, like while cooking. Seems like a minor annoyance maybe but I use them while cooking and entertaining especially, AKA having my attention severely split already lol, additional complexity is to be avoided
Yes it doesn’t really work for cooking or tasks where you need to be precise, but then snoozing wouldn’t work anyway since 10 min would be too long for most occasions. However you can use your assistant on your phone to set precise alarms. Just say “Hey Google/Siri set an alarm for 12 minuts for the pizza” and it should set an alarm instead of a timer.
I just have a few generic alarms on my phone i keep changing for whenever i need them. They dont repeat weekly on Android automatically so they are like single use. I also do also have weekly repeating timers for remembering stuff like trash bins or groceries delivery.
Yep! My fridge has a one-tap 30-min timer specifically for drinks in the freezer (you can also then adjust the time with more taps). Needless to say, it is one of the most used functions of my fridge (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞
Don’t know wheter it is a “smart fridge” but that’s one smart fridge!
FUCK I put a snack in the freezer like… 5 days ago? And completely forgot about it until now
This will happen again I can’t fetch it right now
Jo when you home buddy? Set a timer.
This. I put protein shakes in the freezer bc they taste better the colder they are. They aren’t good though if you freeze them then let them thaw, so it’s a pretty high risk game. I try to remember to set a 30 minute timer on my phone whenever I do it.
You know ice exists, right?
Smartphones have location-based reminders. Just ask Siri or whatever Google calls theirs this month.
That’s why I always set a 1 hour timer. Or I will definitely forget.
Sometimes I set a timer and when it chimes I’ve already forget what it was for lol
instinctively silences timer without addressing what the timer was for
On most smartphones you can give titles to timers.
Why the fuck did I set a timer?!
Neville?
Yeah, and that’s when I needed to step up to setting named alarms rather than timers or reminders.
My phone lets me label timers. Get an app that can do that.
Now try something in the oven.
YES, A TIMER IS NECESSARY!
Me: I’m gonna season and dry the wok for a few minutes while I do the dishes.
does dishes
walks out of room.
air quality alert from filter goes off saying bad air quality.
Shit the wok!
Good thing my oven has an integrated timer. In fact, it won’t work without setting the timer. Never thought about how much grief that must have saved me already.
B and C. Nothing should be on Facebook.
I’ve learned the hard way (multiple times) that if beverage goes into freezer a timer of one hour MUST be set on my phone or smart speaker, because I gaslighted myself into believing it’s illegal to put drinks in the freezer and if someone finds out I’ll be arrested.
😂
My ex. Never me. I’d drink soda warm before id risk it bursting.
My ADHD absolutely can’t handle that clean up.
If you get lucky it supercools before freezing and the shock of the vessel breaching is enough to freeze the rest of it mid-explosion. The one time I’ve had a bottle burst (luckily the cap gave way first), that happened and I was left with a bottle with frozen liquid holding the cap a few cm above the bottle and minimal dripping.
It’s even faster to put it in ice water and the worst that can happen if you forget about it is your drink gets warm again.
Add salt to the ice water so it melts colder and it will cool your drink faster.
Bomb has been planted.
So many exploded cans and bottles in my youth but also the magic when you got it and your coke was in slushie form and then you added booze.
Chefs kiss
My family had a recipe for brandy slush that used the alcohol to prevent the mix from freezing solid. It was a big hit at summer parties.
I just stick it in a zip lock so if I forget about it there’s no clean up
The 2 liter bottle of coke I once froze exploded with so much force that I found the freezer door open when I investigated the loud bang at 3am. No way a ziploc would contain that force.

Top-tier sentence right there. Very well written, it just keeps getting better (or worse, for you)
Ah, yea I’m using this for one can not giant bottles lol
Obviously it won’t work for cold drinks, but for warm drinks, I got my wife a few of these:

She still forgets her drinks, but now when she finds them, they’ve usually maintained the desired temperature.
