When it is winter we cool foods with a fridge inside a heated home ... while we have a fridge outside. (feddit.org)

Am I the only one who thinks this is just hilariously idiotic?

Fridge is a heat pump and if ambient temps around it are low, it doesn't use that much energy. I have my fridge in a space that isn't generally heated unless necessary.

And any energy that goes into the fridge, goes into heating your home. So, reducing your winter heating bill.

Sometimes we have those little epiphanies in the shower.. sometimes they come from other places. This is a home for those epiphanies.
