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?

if you have a place that's protected from the weather, it's probably a good idea, although i'm not sure how well it handles having an inner temperature that's higher than the outside

You mean lower than outside? If it is freezing outside the fridge but the food inside needs just fridge temperatures?

yeah will the cooling system reverse to heat the inside and keep it from freezing or will it just give up?

Higher inside the fridge than outside it. How do you plan on keeping your liquids liquid if it's -10° outside?

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