Sometimes you get serious and even scary stories when people log on to ask for opinions on r/askreddit.

Sometimes you get arguments like this one, in which one spouse thinks it’s ok to nuke ice cream for a few seconds to loosen it up and the other one thinks it’s absolutely wrong.

This commenter totally disagrees, though!

Technically, you might be rolling the dice, bacteria-wise.

Listen, I think they could probably solve this on their own.

It might be a (small) risk, but it’s not going to ruin anyone’s life.
