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.

I'm going to say it. This cabinet BETTER NOT have two doors.

A real solution. Tape or nail a sheet to the underside of the cupboard. Hold it taut and then slowly open the cupboard allowing the bowls to gather in to the sheet. Will need three others to help - three to hold each loose end of the sheet and 1 to open the door

Realize that you will have several less plates to sell at the long overdue garage sale.

You can flood the room with soft balls (like you find here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u85u2ymDl8M ) and open it. You can probably have a tub or something nearby to cut down on how many balls you need.

Open the file "Life.ini" and find the line called "Enablerealtimephysics=1" and rename it to "EnableRealtimePhysics=0".
Save and restart, and you should be able to open the door while the dishes stay in place.

Turn the cabinet upside down and they will fall the other way.

The glass on the right is already missing (there's no reflection on it, unlike the other windows) so you don't have to do anything except reach in and sort them out !!!

Have Cyclops from the X-men to use his laser beam eye to burn a hole in the glass so that you can pull each bowl out sideways. Yep, that should do it.

As I can see, it's a two door shelf, so if the right door slides on front of the left one, just open it all and fix from the other side. If it slides on the back, just open it the most you can, and, if you have kids, select the most suitable one, put him inside, and tell him he as an important mission to accomplish!

Find the guy who can pull the tablecloth off a dining table without breaking anything.

It is not the dishes that fall, it is only yourself.

Paint the windows so that you can't see the dishes. Tell your husband that you needed a change and felt that painting everything would suffice. After you do this make a beautiful dinner and invite some friends over. Once the dinner is about done ask your husband to set the table with the nice China (make sure you have wine to watch the show). Once he opens it start yelling when everything breaks.

If the cupboard is movable, it must be moved away from the wall and very slowly inclined, until the doors are facing the ceiling. Then you can open the doors without risk.
