what's growing in your refrigerator/freezer?

This thing has been growing in my freezer. Keeps getting taller each day. Rather kinky.

There must be some scientific explanation for it.

hmmmm are those not called stalactites or something?

looks like a cave.


are there any bats?

 

i'm guessing water's dripping from directly above there. or maybe your freezer's just happy to see you

 

Good one.

Lol ewww that is creeepy! Nothing is growing in mine hopefully. I clean out my things frequently

 

I have to say-that is rather interesting.

My freezer has an auto defrost, so nothing grows in there. I want cool things growing in my freezer, though!

 

That used to happen to my icecubes in the trays in my old place.

I spent a long time thinking about it and I would guess that it has to do with the fact that the edge water freezes faster than the middle water, so the expansion forces the middle water up and it freezes there. They don't grow forever though, so take lots of pictures before it breaks or you may never get another one.

 

Aaaahhh, our freezer is just a teeny little box (all we can fit in it is like one box of popsicles, lol), and it's all frozen over, so now all we can fit in there is a Hotpocket. We keep the fridge so cold, though, that even the milk freezes...lol. The joys of having a mini-fridge!

 

aww and your box is just a teeny tiny box too.




(guessing)

 

stalagmites grow from the ground up

and stalactites grow from the ceiling down....

so you have a stalagmite in your freezer...

 

thanks Ryan.



*nods your way*

 

yeah man get your shit straight!!

that stalagthing is fucking sexy though, i want to lick it.

 

But don't or you'd get stuck and we'd have to rescue you by dumping warm water into the freezer all over your mouth and stuff... messy.

 

false.

That is not a stalagmite.

 

Here's a tip when stuff starts looking like Chia Pets its time to clean the refrigerator or when your stand up freezer grows ice so thick you cannot put a 30 pack in there.

 

i'm willing to take the risk

 

i just moved, and we didnt clean out the fridge for weeks after the electricity got turned off, kinda forgot..... but there was some things moving and growing!!! i know my best friend is a keeper, when she is willing to pick me up, buy me lunch, get me high, and clean up the maggots out of my freezer!! and all i asked was for a ride over there!

 

There's another growth on the top that I didn't notice in addition to the strange one below it. See pic.

I guess the top one is a stalactite and the bottom one is a stalagmite.

As the insane-looking physics professor Julius Sumner Miller used to say, "Why is it so?"

The rubber stripping on the door near this area isn't sealing. I see moisture droplets on the top of the freezer area.

Apparently, air is flowing in, moisture is condensing and then dripping down along the upper growth (stalactite) and dripping off of it onto the lower growth (stalagmite). Both are growing.

Yeah, I know. Some of you kinky people out there will say that the top feature looks like a particular something.

No cornball jokes about the word 'stalactite'.
