It says it's ai generated in the title.

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.

theres a large amount of space on the other side of the fridge for a battery, perhaps large enough to fit an old EV battery mounted vertically

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.

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.

The prompt for that must have been hella long

I was going to say, those are the best AI solar panels I've ever seen. Usually it really struggles with the rectilinear stuff.

In short, by the community. The community fridge near me is refilled mostly by:

People who have to buy more than they want (ie pack of four items, but only need two).

People who made to much food/leftovers, or who just want to cook for others

Weekly community cooking event.

Overproduction from community gardens.

Spillage from restaurants.

Spillage from the grocery store.

People who want to cool their stuff

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.

If we're going bonkers with future tech, why not just stick a replicator in there.
