Drop whatever you're doing, we have a situation in here! A stay-at-home mother has posted a picture of the 'impossible to open' cupboard and she needs your tips to open it without destroying these precious porcelain plates.
'A cupboard that can never be opened,' - read the caption. Of course, you can never throw words like 'never' online because soon after posting, the army of kind-hearted internauts came pouring in (16,000 reactions and 456 comments) to help this lady with getting her plates to safety.
What would you do in this situation? Post your answers below!
Update: The photo was actually taken after an earthquake in the Tottori Prefecture on October 21st, in a hotel owned by the Kishida family.

Decide to build a time machine, wait for future self to come back in time and hand you the time machine (be care not to touch future self, thus avoiding any paradoxes), go back to before wedding day, and change registry from "white/blue china" to "white/blue melmac".

Use your mission impossible style circular glass cutter and cut the glass large enough to fit a small hand through and then simply push the bowls back on the shelf. Replace the one pane.

Lay the cupboard carefully on the ground so that the door is on top. Then just open the door. Greetings, masrlinu

Carefuly put down the back of the cupboard to the floor and then open the door, probably with any broken dish.

You find Dom Cobb and together you get in the dream state. There you can practice saving the dishes. When the dream starts collapsing you don't wake up and stay in the limbo forever. You can fix everything there easily.

Take a glass cutter, cut out the top right pane of glass above the dishes and start pulling them out. Be sure to have some kind of suction cup on the cut glass before you start tapping to break the glass out. 👍Good luck

Easy. Find a piece if thin plywood and slowly crack open the door. Slide the plywood in to hold on to the bowls. Once plywood took over the glass door position, u are safe!

Do not try and open the cupboard, that's impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth...there is no cupboard. Then you will see it is not the cupboard that opens, it is only yourself.

Send cupboard into space. No gravitation there. Open the cupboard and safely gather the plates that float around you.

Rotate it outwards from the wall. If you can do this without disturbing the dishes, then check if you can access the cabinet from the back in any way. If not, take the front right door off of it's hinges and then carefully remove the plates, placing some sort of makeshit safety net underneath them, in case they fall.

Use one of those foams that expands and hardens inject it with a straw that should go with it. Make sure to pick the one that's easy to remove

Get a hammer. Smash the glass and plates at the same time, laughing and yelling "I am always the master! ALWAYS!"

Why so many bowls? Looks like you can afford to lose a few! Then learn to put stuff away properly!

Hire someone who works with glass to cut a circle or square just below the first bowl. Tape the hole or use a glove to avoid cutting yourself. Try pushing the bowls back on the shelf. If necessary cut out the upper left piece of glass and rescue your china.

Use The Force. They're plates, for crying out loud, not an X-Wing stuck in the swamps of Dagobah!
