Decide my fate

[rh71]

Double cheeseburger left out overnight in ~65F room temperature. If I microwave it for lunch, will I be suffering illness thereafter?

 

[herm0016]

would not eat.

this guys content will make you never eat left out food again.

if you eat it, can I have the x5?

 

[highland145]

Meh, it's so processed it'll be good next month.

I'll definitely watch that after my lunch is done.

I have eaten week+ old refrigerated lasagna with no issues, but undoubtedly risky.

I would not eat it.

 

[s0me0nesmind1]

I wouldn't eat it just based on your suggestion of microwaving. At least toaster oven that shit.

 

[ISAslot]

just remember it's not the bugs in it so much as their poisonous excretions, which a microwave won't get rid of

The USDA says if you leave a cooked burger out for two hours, you should throw it away. But I think they're lying so go ahead and eat it.

Have a Millennial pee on it. They kill everything.

seriously, don't eat it. The risk are too great. Buy another burger or order some pizza.

 

[Mai72]

Eat it. That's good food gone to waste.

Decide my fate boys:

4 day old protein shake left out. Half gone. Had banana, peanut butter, protein powder and milk.

Bottoms up?

Yes, you should definitely pound that shake right up your bottom.

You guys are on fire today. Laughed at multiple replies.

I say do it for science. The strength of your immune system will be revealed.

 

[MrSquished]

Eat it. You won't even need the vaccine to be Covid proof.

But seriously. It'll be fine. Just overnight, processed burger, all good.

 

[dank69]

One day and you're going to nuke it? Unless you have Ebola monkeys in the house you'll be fine.

 

[Muadib]

I agree with DAPUNISHER. This thread delivered!
I would eat the burger. I've eaten many burgers that were left out by my wife. Some of them even had mayonnaise.

 

[ultimatebob]

I would totally eat that burger, and then wash it down with a shot of RumChata. Unemployedwineguy says that it's a must try:

I would be dead 50x over if this was accurate.... more like a worst-case.

Every time I've gotten sick from food its either been from something stored in the fridge for too long or cross-contamination.

 

[BarkingGhostar]

Just go buy a Costco pizza. For ten bucks you can't lose even if you throw half of it away.

 

[BoomerD]

Sheee-it...buncha damned scaredy little Nancy-boys in here. Nuke it if you want it heated...eat the thing...get on with life.

 

[brianmanahan]

dibs on OP's belongings if he eats it

actually i'll just settle for the x5, it looks like a comfier ride than my compact

 

[Spacehead]

rh71's overnight burger, brian's 7 year old pickles... what was the other one recently?

Everyone's still alive. Well, 2 out of 3 at this point till the OP gets back to us. And we all know 2 outta 3 ain't bad!
