Even in our middle age my brother and I still treat each other like we did when I was 8 and he was 14

Tell me more about these “special lady friends”

She's not my special lady friend, man. I'm just helping her conceive.

ICE: In Case of Emergency.

It's a way for emergency services to figure out who to call if you're in an accident, supposedly.

He is my out of town ICE. Another ysk is that your ICE should not be a person that you regularly hang out with because you both could be injured together and it takes a first responder that much extra digging through your phone to know who to contact.

Not sure if you’re being sarcastic but since I recently learned about this from my friend who is former firefighter, I will bite

ICE = In Case of Emergency. Smartphones now have this as a default setting, purpose being if something bad happens to you, first responders have an easy way to find your emergency contacts without having to unlock your phone and then go searching through your contacts list.

Before this feature, and going way back to before smartphones, entering ICE before someone’s name enabled first responders to quickly find someone’s emergency contact information in their phone.

I never knew about this until maybe 2 years ago when friend’s wife called while we were driving home and I asked why her contact shows up with ICE at the beginning. Apparently many people knew about this except for me. So maybe you’re making a joke, so please feel free to respond with a big Whoosh at which point I will delete this comment

Me too! Yeah, if you guys aren’t aware, ICE is a pretty dicey term these days.

I don’t know if you are being serious or sarcastic but in a phone it’s means “In Case of Emergency”. If OP needs help someone can look in their phone and know who to contact

You guys text like you're still eight.

Same with me and my older brother. He's legitimately GenX and it's just the two of us. He welcomed me into the world by giving newborn me his baseball cap. His feet still smell though, and his mom dresses him funny.

squirrelfriend3@reddit (OP)

Yep. He has referred to himself as 1st tenant (in our mom’s womb) and me as 3rd tenant. Because it rhymes with lieutenant and he’s gross.

“I don’t want to internet these questions” made me laugh and is very relatable lol

[-]

squirrelfriend3@reddit (OP)

I’m assuming he’s watching Caitlin Clark and her team play some other women playing basketball

I’m on a roadtrip right now with my younger brother and his wife and the conversation is about our sibling vibes and how he has little brother energy when annoying his wife. 😂
