Sometimes we have those little epiphanies in the shower.. sometimes they come from other places. This is a home for those epiphanies.

When it is winter we cool foods with a fridge inside a heated home ... while we have a fridge outside. (feddit.org)

Am I the only one who thinks this is just hilariously idiotic?

I'd assume that the outside freezer uses more energy in the summer, as it gets hotter outside than inside the house. So over the year it middles out.

In the winter I often cool down my cooked food outside before putting it in the fridge. But for long term storage you have to have a careful look at the weather forecast, as it could be -10° during a clear night but +10° the next day. In the summer I put my cooking pots in a water bath to cool them down quickly before putting them in the fridge.
