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.

Open the other cupboard cut a hole in the wood in-between the cupboards. Then reach through the hole and grab the plates. This is less likely to break the plates (than breaking the cupboard glass) and easier to patch up to look normal again.

Open it slightly and reach in to hold the plates with one hand then remove each one, starting from the back to the front. Grab pillows to stuff inside bottom for support and protection from falling or shifting.

Fly into outer space. Find the nearest blackhole and fall into the event horizon. Enter the time dimensional tesseract and warn your past self before committing the series of events leading up to this point. Realize that it was meant to happen all along.

Sell it to a museum as a contemporary art piece, then use the hundred's of thousands of dollars to buy new china. Then you should have some left over to buy a GTR.
