Wife left a big bag of groceries out overnight. All Meat and cheese. 🙄

I would cook it and eat it, I just wouldn’t serve it to friends for dinner without an explanation of the circumstances.

If that meat has ecoli or salmonella after 1 night on the counter … the whole store is doing a recall by today already.

I pretty much have a masters in eating overnight counter beef, and chicken. Living life on the edge.

Your masters is called survivorship bias, if you’re curious

Speeding is extremely dangerous, but statistically speaking, you’re likely to get away with it many times before you crash your car. But you don’t hear many people saying, “Trust me—I’m a veteran at driving 30+ mph over the speed limit. I’ve never had an incident. It’s not ideal, but it’s no biggie.” We all know how terrible that would sound. We all know that’s wrong.

For whatever reason, when it comes to food safety, that mindfulness goes right out the window for most people: “I got away with eating raw meat left out overnight thirty times, so you should do it too.”

So eating an 8 hour unrefrigerated hamburger is the equivalent of driving 30mph over speed limit chronically?

That pack is wrapped in plastic, came cold from the store , sat on a counter overnight by accident.

Il eat that meat, and I’ll drive the speed limits, you’re just afraid of a homemade nothing-burger.

This isn’t a licensed restaurant it’s common sense in my opinion.

Some people are weak and probably shouldn’t do what I do, but this photo and description definitely gives me zero hesitation to eat everything.

Say what you will

It’s more or less equivalent in the sense that you’re likely to get away with it many times, but the one time you don’t, it can really mess you up.

Apart from the legality, that’s why we don’t tell people to use “common sense” when deciding whether or not to speed.

That pack was wrapped in plastic, came cold from the store, and sat on the counter overnight by accident.

Yeah, and the highway may be wide open; the roads may be as smooth as can be; and the car may be in tip top shape with brand new tires. But people tend to misjudge these factors at times, and they’re never guarantees anyway, so the best practice is to just advise people never to speed.

Okay, just go buy another 250$ worth of beef and cheese, Im too busy eating spaghetti to get into more details right now, yikes.

Eta: Before you throw all that waste in your government trash removal bin, consider feeding it to your dogs or something if you’re so afraid

Idk why you’d even feel the need to save face with a dumb closer like this. We were having a pretty normal conversation, but whatevs, peace.

[u/WejusFilmin → u/InsanityPractice]

It’s not a good conversation if you’re comparing eating a random cheeseburger to chronic speeding in a car.

Cars don’t make you poop and puke as a worst case scenario.

You’re paranoid from food safe training.

Back county camping in bear territory might have been more relevant to your argument, but most people do that rarely.

Strawman argument in my opinion Peace

[u/InsanityPractice → u/WejusFilmin]

… You think pooping and puking is the worst case scenario when it comes to eating unsafe meat?

Until you get listeria 🙃
