Comment on Cooling stuff does not require any energy!

I feel like this is technically true, but in reality it only works like this in the void of space.
The energy I’m spending is to counter the molecule vibration transfer that’s being done (against my food’s will) by the sun and everything else in the space around my fridge.
I am ready for some physicist to pop out of the tall grass and explain how wrong I am.

You’re not wrong in this context.
If ambient temperature was say…21 C, then it’d take no energy to keep things that cold.
So in space, once you do cool something down enough, and place it far from any stars, it’ll stay cold for free.
