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.

Spend a few months in the secret mountain tops of Japan and train. You must become a ninja with lightning reflexes. With your newly found ninja skills catching those plates when you open the cupboard will be easy.

Fly with the cupboard into the outer space. Open it safely. Then go back.

The Tolkien solution: get a bunch of dwarves, feed them well, and then tell them it is time to clean up. Open the door. Even though it looks improbably, no dishes will be broken. And they will be super clean afterwards, too!

The political solution: declare it to be a problem of the next generation. Tell you children that this is how life is. (Rant at them still if they open the door and remind them of their "generational responsibility".)

Get a big plastic bowl,stuff it with towels.. Have someone hold the bowl very close to the door, open gently and let it all the plates drop in there.. Even if any breaks, it will save you the stress of cleaning up.

I think the internet now is more interested in seeing the door actually being open. Be sure to video it and post it on line again, thanks!

Do not try to open the door. That's impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth: There are no dishes.

Spin the house round n round n round until the centrifugal force pushes the plates back onto the shelf. Be careful to stop the spin slowly.

First, create an anti-gravity machine, or yet, try some hollywood slo mo so that you can catch them - or yet, I've got a better idea:hire a juggler!

Seal the cupboard tight with gaffa tape.
Pour enough liquid jelly (lime flavour)
Through a small hole in top of cupboard.
Turn the air con on until it sets.

Once jelly has set, slowly open door.
Hopefully it slows the bowls down enough for you to rescue them all.

Invite 25 people over to your house for a bowl of green jelly. Lol!

Trump solution: build a wall around the shelf and declare that the dishes have fallen because of illegal aliens.
Clinton solution: send an official email through your own server, have it leaked, have this discovered by FBI, blame FBI for not solving the problem with the dishes.

Break a pane of glass of the cabinet door and take the bowls out that way - instead of trying to open the door.

Ok, listen carefully:
you'll need a rocket, a big rope, oxygen tank, parachute
you'll need a rocket, a big rope, oxygen tank, parachute
how you do it:
tie the rope around a hook on your cupboard and shoot it to outer space....while in vaccum, do your chore and pull back to earth (we have stringed it right). shoot your parachute...don't die!!

P.S do wear your oxygen masks(unless you are immortal)
Same can be achieved underwater as well, but lets go universal!!!
