Can't we solve this problem like Elon would solve the problem and simply store the cheese in space?

The moon isn't made of cheese ... yet!

Honestly storing cheese in space makes more sense than putting data centers in space

Due to orbital decay, it ends up raining fondue. It's a huge mess.

[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 hour ago

You're right. We'd better store different cheeses together with some white wine, an assortment of spices and a bit of Kirschwasser. If it's going to be raining fondue, we may as well do it in style!

Missouri Cheese

Much government cheese is stored in "Missouri cheese caves",[10] underground warehouses for storing and aging cheese in and around the Midwestern state of Missouri, part of a national network of such facilities.[11] An erroneous article by Modern Farmer began circulating on social media in 2022 implying all of the USDA's 1.5 billion pounds of cheese was stored in caves near Springfield, Missouri.[12][13]

The US has it too.

Imagine exploring some caves and just wandering into one of these vaults...

I think I know what the players in my D&D campaign will be wandering into next. Complete with cheese golems shaped like cows.

"I try to eat the cheese golem's head."

"Roll D20 for agility check."

*natural one*

"The golem is amused as it easily pulls away before you can sink your teeth into it, all you manage to chew on is your own hand and dignity. Roll D6 for finger damage and then golem attacks."
