Lots of great comments here but one more awesome thing about wooden cutting boards - you can always sand off a very fine layer to expose new wood if the surface gets too gnarly. Then oil it and use it like usual again.

if no amount of self reflection and change can ever make us reconsider our condemnation, then there’s no reason for anything to try and change, as it won’t stop the hate

A very important point that we should all remember. It’s critical to continue a no-tolerance policy of intolerance, but to accept those who want to change.

I’m not running to Chick-fil-A anytime soon but the point remains.

If I had to guess, it’s because the back/top of the fridge is more prone to freezing.
