Yep ice cream is just Eis in German, even if the default is Eiscreme meaning at least 10% milkfat content or even Cremeeis meaning 50% milk, no added water, as well as egg. Frozen custard. It’s just that noone cares what exactly you’re going to order when asking “wanna go eat some ice”?
Fun fact: A felt 99% of ice cream parlours in Germany are called “Venezia” or “Dolomiti” or “Rialto”, which is a quarter of Venice. Because that’s where the founders were from. It’s a fascinating natural phenomenon, flocks of ice cream makers migrating north in early spring and back home late autumn.

True, as an American and when I’m crying on the floor like this, I like to measure my pain in freedom units thank you
I think in this context “the ice” means the ice cream

It’s a reference from a Simpsons episode
This person gets it.
He’s thinking of the cake.
Which has nothing to do with Germany and is named after American chocolate maker Samuel German.
Can I tag #til? I knew it most likely wasn’t German, but I didn’t know it was just named after a guy!
