if we think of heat as energy, what do we consider something like simple ice cubes?

Question

So we consider heat to be energy. But what is the reaction of putting ice cubes into a drink? Is this not energy too?

Cold isn’t cold, it’s just less hot to a point where it feels cold to our bodies. If that makes sense. Image energy as a bunch of people running around like crazy. The hotter it gets the faster they run, the colder it gets the slower they run. When water turns to ice the people will arange themselves in a very specific pattern and stay there, but they’re still moving. Shuffling their feet, breathing, etc. When you put an ice cube into water, the outermost people with start to move faster again as they warm up. Eventually every person will be moving the same speed again and you’ll have no more ice.

No clue if that actually made sense lol
