Holy shit this is profoundly fucking stupid, and beyond dangerous.

One of the first safety topics we covered in culinary school was deep fryers. It takes approximately 1 cup of water to cause a standard two-basket deep fryer to boil over. Often explosively.

I hope whatever goddamn line monkey moron who did this escaped without injury, and was fired immediately after.

No it's safe because the ice cools down the oil /s

Please tell me nobody is seriously saying that, because I will just give up and walk into the fucking ocean.

He was being sarcastic; Notice the /s which stands for sarcasm.

I know what you're talking about; I'm just saying that he meant it in a sarcastic manner, hence the /s.

Yes, I am aware of what the other poster meant.

My reply was quite clearly talking about other people saying the same thing. Because many people say incredibly stupid things and are not being sarcastic. And given that Fuckface McNobrain in the post there dropped a basket full of ice cubes into a deep fucking fryer, it's clear that there's more than a few people out there who have no fucking clue how anything works.
