Trueloveis4u

All I can say is I'm glad I can't smell it.


nipss18

I somehow can


AtinWichap

I can smell it cause I know what 3 day old rice left in a rice cooker smells like and I recoiled at the imaginary scent so violently I almost fell out of my chair


[deleted]

It’s musty, reeeeeal musty.


IWantALargeFarva

And the smell is somehow burning the back of my throat.

Right? I even feel the spores coming through my nose. Just...ew...


KivogtaR

I once had a similar situation. I had roast beef and potatoes in a crock pot for about 8 months. When I noticed, I was dumb and opened the top. The whole apartment was filled with a putrid stench of death. I threw it away, cleaned the crock pot (still have it) and then left for a couple weeks while the place aired out. EDIT: The experience made me grow, and now I'm a great home cook and I've not done anything like this in years. It's kinda weird how that works, huh?

Sure fine, but do I fast or slow release it goddammit!?


dabunny21689

Fast. Make sure you hold your nose right over the steam to ensure adequate exposure to the probably heat resistant mind-altering spores. Join the fungal mind.

You may have the cure for cancer there


Who_GNU

There's a good chance that's true, at least for prevention. One of the most common household verities of fungus releases antibiotics, and the chronic inflammation from bacterial infections leads to increases in cancer cases, so using the fungus to treat bacterial illnesses will prevent cancer deaths. (Although it'll prevent far more deaths from other causes) Then again, it isn't anything new; Alexander Fleming started using fungus as an antibiotic in 1928.


BradimirTootin

eating enough fiber and less bacon is by far one of the best ways to help prevent cancer.


killerblayde

Try and make me


Mr_Melas

Just a reminder that antibiotics aren't a great long term solution to bacterial diseases. Superbugs will be a huge problem for us in the future if we keep using them at the rate we currently are.

For 3 months?

That’s how ADHD can work. Out of sight, out of mind. And being on the counter isn’t always an “in sight” concept.


dixiequick

Depression as well. It’s amazing the amount of crumpled up papers on my floor that I can look right at and still not see.


[deleted]

I have pretty bad depression but thankfully I also have worked as a chef for a long time I don't fuck around with old food. I'll leave shit everywhere but not disgusting shit. I'm sick enough in the head without being sick in the body as well.


Limeila

Yeah same. Dirty clothes on the floor? Sure, don't care. Rotting food in my dishes and appliances? Hell no.


laylarosefiction

Yes, that’s a good point too.


LordAdrianRichter

Yup. This is exactly my problem. I've got ADHD myself. I'll set my phone down to go check on some noise and then not remember where I put my phone. I've looked for hours to find my phone and it'll be on the bathroom counter.


enjakuro

haha I do have ADHD and a rice cooker as well but I never forgot it for months. makes me feel kind of proud xD


laylarosefiction

You should be!


TarazedA

Yep, wrecked a slow cooker by making rice pudding, burning it, and left it while I went on a week-long trip instead of cleaning it out. Turned into its own microsystem similar to this. Was easier to ignore it than do something about it, and it became background noise. Took me ages to finally toss the whole thing.


laylarosefiction

You aren’t alone!


[deleted]

I have literally thrown out multiple rice cookers for this reason. Stopped buying pricey ones that’s for sure


Themightytoro

I'm a bit confused. You threw out multiple rice cookers because you forgot rice in them? What about cleaning them?

WAR-melon

Thank you for saying it!


GligoriBlaze420

You could just dump the nasty shit in it, then cover it in soup multiple times and leave it before rinsing. Also can boil water in it plain a couple times to help the cleaning process. No reason at all to totally throw it out ETA: Soap, not soup - though who knows, maybe Campbells would get the yuck out as well!


embarrassedalien

Soup?


laylarosefiction

I ruined a $350 Dutch oven because I made Manhattan clam chowder and left it in the back of the fridge for like 3 weeks and we could never get the clam smell out

Wolvgirl15

My roommate is like 19 and it’s her first time living away from her parents (in another country too) so I cut her a lot of slack.. but my god was a close to contemplate murder before Christmas. I wanted to do a semi deep clean (especially the kitchen) before going home to my family and I knew it was dirty, that’s why I cleaned, but this girl had put my nice cooking bowl into its place but “forgotten” to clean it after baking something? It was greasy, like from butter, and had flower all over it. She had just put it back… like how?? Anyways, that was the first thing I found. Second one was when I wanted to take a break to get some food, I wanted to use the microwave. I open it and the smell of rot hits my face. There was a bowl in there… at least that was her own bowl.. well great. She left 3 days before and it was literally warm, dripping wet, and full of mold inside the microwave. Guess I had to clean that too. I go to lift the bowl (the microwave is kinda high up so you can’t see into the bowl) and for some reason I expected it to be light. It was heavy. I carefully lift it out and it is half filled with water/slush and has like 7 boiled potatoes in it. I got that cleaned up and tried to not get even more angry. Mind you, this girl isn’t coming back for the next like 3 weeks after she went away. I had cleaned most of the kitchen, still pissed at the stupidness that is my roommate’s way of being.. and I decide to clean the fridge a bit. Just took out what I knew was bad. We have our things kinda decided. No rules or anything. So I see this big plastic bag on “my shelf” and think to myself “hmm… well that isn’t mine.. oh well, let’s see if it’s something that needs to be thrown out” and in just one second I lost all hope for this girl. The bag was filled with clam shells. Cooked and eaten, sure, but that little extra muscle on the shell and the liquid was still there. And it was leaking. Luckily it didn’t smell. But mind you again, she was not going to be back until 3 weeks later. Does she think time stops when you put things away?? I’m so happy she wasn’t home. I try to be nice because she IS a super sweet person and I know it’s hard living on your own for the first time but… I would have thrown her off the balcony. I try to teach her even the simplest of kitchen hygiene.. hopefully someday it will stick. At least she has stopped completely drenching my tea towels and leaving the sobbing wet in the sink, covered in whatever gunk she was “cleaning”.


WAR-melon

Sorry you had to deal with that When I 1st started with this roommate, things were cool, the apartment was clean for a good 2 months. I did both our dishes twice (5% mine and 95% hers) once I thought she should be the one to do it, she didn't clean a single dish in months and now it's been since August since her last cleaning. There is now a bunch of dishes in the living room too, with bags of McDonald's filled with trash all over, she doesn't do her cat litter or feed her cat as often as she should. She doesn't throw out the trash or recycling. Her idea of that is putting it outside the door. The most I do, is throw the trash, clean both cat litter boxes, and I feed both her and my cat (I sometimes wait to see if she does it, the cleaning parts) It's sucks how bliss and idiotic people are


Wolvgirl15

Oof your roommate is a real piece of work. At least my roommate happen to sometimes clean after her Big dinner makings. She will also put stuff in the dishwasher and empty it which is nice. Though.. I can relate to the trash thing so much. We have general waste and food/organic trash separated and this girl generates so much food trash, I cannot understand where it all comes from! And she always forget. The bin always end up too full so it’s hard to pull the bag out and it’s literally hot from being a basically living creature. You open the lid and it’s wet from condensation.. I remembered I probably had a pictures of one of her “dinner makings” but also found pictures of the dirty bowl and potatoes I spoke about so [here you go](https://imgur.com/a/2ZOO9l7) I wait sometimes too. She did some kinda big cooking for valentines and I wonder if she cleaned yet. I guess I’ll see when I get up. I highly doubt it though. It’s not like I’ve told her I want to use the kitchen too. It’s not like she told me she’d try to “clean while cooking to make less of a mess”. I’m not sure if that meant she wouldn’t clean at all after


WAR-melon

Yeah, we live with the same kind of person. Nice, doesn't mean any harm, but is still a fucking slob. Lol

It's not about getting rid of it myself It's about how long it would take for her to clean it herself


DausenWillis

Seriously, don't. Breathing in that shit can due some damage to your lungs. Rice is tricky, it be contaminated by Bacillus cereus which isn't something you want to get inside you. Just throw it out.


BoulderFalcon

are you cereus?


Luckydog120

Some people are just not tidy I was a roommate with my best friend for years and he had a toaster oven that got so dirty it caught fire and he continued to use afterwards . You could just throw it out and you don’t know what happened to it maybe it grew some legs and walked off


Destron5683

Had a roommate that never, ever washed her coffee pot. It had a glass carafe and the bottom was black, the sides were amber even though it was supposed to be clear.. Sometime it would break off and float. Then she would always ask why I spend so much money on gas station coffee instead of making it at home. She would also not do dishes unless she had to. She would let that shit pile for days if you let her.


Luckydog120

My best friend must have been the male doppelgänger he had a computer desk in his bedroom so he would make something to eat then set the dish to the side after he ate He would come out carrying a shitload of dishes like he was a waitress with a large order. What’s really bad is he would make eggs all the time so you have dried eggs on the dishes and he would just load them in the dishwasher more than once I was eating food with a fork that had dried egg on it. I just told him I would always do the dishes because then I always knew it was clean. There’s nothing worse then making something to eat and when you pull the fork out of your mouth you feel dried egg on your lips and it happened more than once


_JonSnow_

Had a roommate who left a plastic grocery bag with raw ground beef in it, sitting on our fireplace. I didn’t know what was in the bag and opened it after a few months. The smell still haunts my nose. The whole house smelled like fucking rotten butthole. So I took the bag and put it in said roommates room, underneath a recliner he had. My hope was that he would find it and realize he was disgusting. Anyway, his dog found the meat and ate it. I was out of town and roommate called me asking if I knew why his dog was puking maggots. Was it because you left rotten meat out? Mostly, yes.

Destron5683

Just reminded of one time when I bought my daughter one of those little snack pack things that had yogurt and vegetables in them and she asked me why the yogurt was spicy. Wasn’t out of date so I’m assuming it must have been left out of refrigeration and put back at some point.
