I love the idea, but the right side would need to have dry goods like potatoes and other roots, also containers for grains like rice. Instead of a microwave I would put in a large foodprinter that uses solar plus protein and fat cartridges to print meat substitutes.
Americans, Americans have to tip 30%. The rest of the world pays what’s on the menu and maybe leaves a bit a of dough at the end of the meal if the service and food was good.
I don’t know about this image in particular, but if you do enough AI in-painting and/or manual digital painting over details and such you can get very good images, but it does take a long time. You can get like 80% of a perfect image with a prompt in 20 seconds or so, and a lot of people stop there, because the last 15-20% can take as long as a whole painting from scratch.
Fun fact, a playground I went to recently had the closest approximation to this I’ve seen yet standing there.
Because money is still a restriction, it included a small (locked) money box and a note to please insert money if you take anything. More of a do-it-yourself shop, but great nonetheless.
i like to think that a skilled composites designer looked at a far more bare bones version of this and decided that they were the ones who made the slick white shell and completely integrated the unit, just something they wanted to do in their much freer life, and maybe a jab at the old corporate history that they can say “hey! its not just corpos that can make sleek, good looking appliances!”
Anyone who wants to… I regularly cook more than I can eat myself, having a place to share leftovers would be a nice way to give back to my neighborhood.
The fact that of all moods was chosen by the ai instead of any other one shows how corporate this feeling has gotten. Really makes you consider the numbers behind advertising every ad you see. 🤔
I can see it working in more rual areas where people all know each other and all grow a bit in their garden, make their own products at home and share this way. Can’t see it working in any city, at least in the UK.
Don’t get me wrong, it would be great if it did. But, people aren’t going to put labels or clear it out. It would be a well-intentioned, gross health hazard.
I think there could be inspections done regularly (every week or month) by the owner of the fridge or by other people (depending on your idea of how the fridge should operate)
When I encountered these they were maintaned by a community or space like houseprojects, collectives or free shops. Some seemed to be accessible all around the clock and some just when the space was open. So its not just a fridge standing around but actual groups/people caring for it.
I dont know if the places were connected to the food-sharing network, but some probably were. Here is a wiki entry about that en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foodsharing.de
Yeah, when I zoom in, all the detailing looks good from far but individually seem weird and don’t make sense. Hinges are weird, the products all seem non descript or bizarre, the plants don’t quite look real, the shading on the pots are all off, the wires don’t seem to have logic…
If this is real, it’s a very sci-fi cyberpunk look, almost like set dressing. But I agree it looks like AI to me.
I love this so much, my only two critiques would be that the kitchenette needs a shade from the sun and rain, and it isn’t obvious where the battery is housed.
Yeah the solar panel needs sunlight but I’ll bet the fridge doesn’t have to work as hard if it’s not in direct sunlight all day. And it’d protect it from the rain. I think they usually run these inside a library or co-op where someone will tend it and keep an eye on it.
