climate change will manifest as a series of disasters viewed through phones with footage that gets closer and closer to where you live until you’re the one filming it.

I think the water itself just keeps them from drying out and the fridge is what keeps them from spoiling (water or not). But usually the carrots become too dried out long before they spoil in a fridge. But maybe the typical mold that would grow on carrots also doesn’t like being submerged.

I have an slightly odd one that I do myself: Carrots in a water filled container (in the fridge). That way they last really long and you don’t get that limpy half-dried version after a while that is hard to remove the peel off. They basically stay as if fresh from the store or garden.

If it is not salt fermented pickles but rather those pickled in vinegar, it is good to put them in the fridge after opening the glass.

I was told that they last the longest if kept out of the fridge the first week or so and afterwards you should put them in a fridge. And for some reason if they are already refrigerated they need to stay refrigerated no matter how old. No idea if there is a scientific basis to it, but it sounds at least plausible that there is.

They claim cheese needs to “breathe” and apparently that is indeed a thing for some French cheese, but not have it sit unrefrigerated for a few days 😒

Buy less and only eat fresh 😎

Stale bread, no thanks. Even no bread at all is better than that.

But freezing it and reheating it afterwards also works OK for some types of bread.

Warm cloth. The problem is mainly that if it gets warmer during the day, then you end up having a lot of condensate from air humidity on everything and that is the perfect condition for mold to form.

Oh yeah 😱 In some places in the tropics really only the fridge is safe from ants getting into everything otherwise. They bite their way through regular plastic bags no problem.

The reverse is also true sometimes. Coconut “oil” for example is always a solid where I grew up, and it caught me by surprise seeing it actually being sold as a liquid in normal oil bottles.

Then you probably only ever had bad bread to begin with.

Edit: I suspect all the down-votes are from the US/UK who sadly never tasted good bread fresh from the oven it seems.

Mine refuse to refrigerate cheese (other than cream-cheese) and butter. Infuriates me as it gets super oily and rancid real fast.

That works well for toast that you only ever plan to eat toasted.

Well, yes…but 4 day old bread from the fridge is basically inedible as well because of the bad taste.

Honey depends on the quality. Real honey will basically never turn bad (they found containers with thousand year old still edible honey), but the cheap stuff is sometimes mixed with sugar syrup etc. and then it needs refrigeration.

The one at the top could also be a connector for a serial port for debugging or so.

Not more than this process took out of the atmosphere before, so they are at least carbon neutral.

https://github.com/fatedier/frp seems to be designed for such cases, but I have not tried it myself.

Lets see. This post has some thoughts on that matter.
