Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

The ice machines in those giant fridge freezers have always felt a bit superfluous, but they just got even more unnecessary now an American discovered that they can be altered to spit out sweets.

Deric Peace filled the ice bin with a variety of candy of different shapes and sizes, because apparently sweets are best served chilled and from a glass.

It seems no technical changes were needed, the fridge will simply fire out whatever it is loaded with as long as the items are not too big.

The internet will surely find infinite uses for this stunningly simple life hack, so expect videos of ice machine-dispensed peanuts and Maltesers soon, along with dog biscuits fired directly into their pets' mouths with a flick of a switch.
