It actually has negative calories on account that melting ice is quite energy intensive.
Hmmh... waitaminute. Hold that thought....

Tweet @boner linked said in The Official Funny Stuff Thread™:
"When I was 8, he fixed it for me to milk a cow blindfolded."
Fixed what? Is this a British thing, that you "fix" things? As opposed to... (thinks for three minutes).... tricked me into "milking a cow blindfolded"
Is that what they're calling it nowadays?
I'll bet the next tweet probably talked about how they "fixed for him to drink the milk straight from the cow" huh?

@tsaukpaetra so a bit of context for overseas viewers. Savile used to host a TV show called Jim'll Fix It, where kids wrote in with requests like "Jim, please can you fix it for me to swim with a dolphin" or drive a fire truck or whatever. They'd get a medal afterwards that said "Jim fixed it for me" so the phrase entered popular culture. I'd you weren't watching British TV in the 80s I can understand why you might miss the reference.

@boner said in The Official Funny Stuff Thread™:
fix it for me
I still think that's a rather odd turn of phrase. I'll file it with a link to american southwest cultural, phrase "I'm fixin' to %action%."

"Jim, please can you fix it for me to swim with a dolphin"
Was the show self-aware that that was grammatically gibberish?

Yes. That's one of the biggest downsides of being married.

My favorite variant of this was the "Just send me the virus link." one I saw on Twitter.

B2 [ I or T ] mainly uk to arrange or agree a time, place, price, etc.
So it's "Jim, please can you arrange it for me to swim with a dolphin". Sounds OK-ish for me?

That phrasing was by far the least weird thing about that show. The pedophile pretending to be a pedophile pretending to be a beloved uncle to lots of children from (usually) disadvantaged backgrounds was far stranger.

@dkf I'd post the speechless Nathan Fillion reaction GIF, but mobile.

I'll preface this with, its a blooper reel. You'll probably like it even if you don't know the game.

It's not the "fix" part. It's the "it" part.
In your example, "to swim with a dolphin" replaces "it". Therefore, when you give the detail of "it", you no longer need to include "it".
Your sentence becomes, "Jim, please can you fix for me to swim with a dolphin."

Your sentence becomes, "Jim, please can you fix for me to swim with a dolphin."
It sounds more natural to me with "it" included. "Jim, please can you fix it for me to swim with a dolphin."
