thanks to the sims I don't consider a pizza bad until it's been sitting out on the counter for about a full day. may have been longer.

Yeah; I remember a few times, just out of habit, contemplating picking certain herbs/flowers IRL that appear in Skyrim.

Just eat a pizza when you get hurt and it'll patch you right up.

When I'm stuck in traffic I don't leap out of my car, drag other drivers out of their cars, and then style kill them like I really, really want to. So no, video games haven't influenced me.

People who obsess over food being out for too long are weird to me. Like, you aren't going to get violently sick and die because your food was sitting on the counter for 10 minutes. If you are that worried about it, just re-heat it. That will kill pretty much every piece of bacteria that can grow on your food in < 24 hours.

If you are that worried about it, just re-heat it. That will kill pretty much every piece of bacteria that can grow on your food in < 24 hours.

The concern isn't the bacteria so much as what they leave behind. Staph aureus, for example, is easily killed by reheating, but produces a toxin that can make you pretty violently ill, a toxin that isn't really possible to remove. That said, 10 minutes isn't going to do anything. The usual commercial food safety standard (at least in Canada) is no more than 4 hours between 4C and 60C, which is generally not hard to follow. There's some leeway on that as well, since commercial standards are always more stringent (because lawsuits), but I generally wouldn't recommend keeping anything with a significant protein content that's been out for more than 8 hours.

Now, saying that, it's just a risk. Nothing's guaranteed to cause harm, and if you're only doing it occasionally and never for really long periods, you probably won't ever encounter problems. It's still not a great idea, though, so maybe don't make a habit of it.

But that doesn't destroy the toxins that are produced some bacteria such as Clostridium botulinum, nor does that affect bacteria that produce spores such as Bacillus cereus.

It's like the salmonella/e coli issue. Not every chicken (or raw egg) is going to have salmonella. For the most part, if you get raw chicken on other things or use the same knife/cutting board or otherwise cross-contaminate, you're not going to get sick. It's a risk, not a guaranteed problem. You're really only in trouble if your chicken actually has salmonella.

But since you can't know for sure whether or not your chicken does have salmonella, the easiest way to avoid getting sick is to act like all chicken has it. Because then you're always taking the necessary precautions to prevent contamination or undercooking or the other ways that you can infect yourself with it. Sure, that means you might be overreacting 99 times out of 100, but it also means you'll be doing everything in your power to be safe when you DO get chicken that has salmonella.

Same with raw meat. Not all ground beef at your local store is going to have e coli, and if you just grabbed a handful of raw meat and ate it you'd probably be fine. But some meat will definitely have e coli, and since you won't know whether or not it does, you're better off treating all raw meat as if it does to protect yourself.

Both are true in real life.

If you have ever been an 18-30 year old and partied over at friends on the weekend etc, you probably had pizza that sat out over night and was DAMN good the next morning. As long as it just has cheese/pepporoni at least, none of the ingredients go bad fast. The cheese could probably last a few days, the bread is bread, and pepporoni doesn't need to be refrigerated at all.

Only if you have perishable stuff on your pizza do you really have to worry at all (I would imagine ground beef would go bad for instance).

Probably mushrooms/onions/bell peppers/olives/salami and a few other ingrediants would be fine as well. Honestly when I was young it was all about the pure cheese or cheese and pepporoni so I didn't test any of the rest.

But I can attest to never getting sick, dying, mostly dying, mutating, metamorphing, becoming a dirty politician or having a sudden sex change due to eating pizza that was out over night.
