    Tbh I like the principle of an idea fridge.

    It can be easily understood as something that is paused, and only paused, for a short period of time but then continued.

    The rest I don’t quite see the usefulness.

      And like most things in my fridge it’ll get thrown out in a week or so, when it inevitably goes off due to non-use. For some reason I feel much happier about throwing away food after it’s been mildly chilled for 14 days.

        Yeah, the idea fridge is where you put an idea you don’t want right now but you feel guilty about throwing it out right away. So you let it sit in there until it has undeniably gone bad and you have to throw it out, but it’s not your fault because you were totally going to take it back out but you couldn’t have predicted that it would spoil. Oh well, can’t do anything about that.

          Maybe we can also have an “Idea Gym” - you’ll constantly pay for the idea of using it in the future. You don’t cancel the idea gym membership because you feel bad about losing access to the idea, even though the chances of ever taking up the idea are very slim.

        Movies, paintings, poems and music are all made up as well so people have just been guessing meaning where there is none
