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.

Slide a piece of cardboard up between the door and plates. Open the door. Then peel the cardboard back just enough to get the bowls out.

Start singing "Be Our Guest" and they'll just dance gracefully out of the cabinet allowing you to put them back into place once the song has finished. You'll also most likely end up with a feast without cooking or having to clean up so that's plus.

Be CSI, surround yourself with various chemicals, get struck by lightening, become the Flash, open the door, and grab the plates before they shatter.

Use a glass cutter to remove the right glass, if you smash it you'll risk moving the plates...

Get a piece of strong and flexible wire.
Open the cupboard just a tiny bit - you just need a slit to fit the wire.
Make a "U" shape with the wire.
Stand on a chair, insert the U-shaped wire under the plates and hold them with it.
While you are holding them, get someone to open the cupboard a little more, enough to get a hand inside to hold the plates.
Done!

SpaceX can solve this. Just ship the cupboard into space. Open the door in zero gravity, restack the plates and ship it all back to earth with standard SpaceX return envelope.

Use a diamond headed glass cutter. Cut out a small circle of glass. Use multiple remote tongs to hold the plates. Lay a layer of cushioning. Or whatever else.
