Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

If the wax seal has never been broken and it's been kept in a cool pantry or cellar, I'd 100% eat it.

If you cannot verify either: chuck it.

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.blahaj.zone 51 points 4 days ago (2 children)

As best as I can tell, the wax is still has no cracks and it's been stored in the beer fridge this entire time

[–] Fmstrat@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago

Be weary of power outages. It might not have been properly stored even if you think it was.

[–] comador@lemmy.world 26 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Open gently, place on a freezer cooled plate and let it breathe for an hour... carve and enjoy.

It's not been stored correctly though for aging. It's not even the oldest cheese I've eaten though.

Bad news, I don’t think it’s mild cheddar anymore

Oh no, that's become wild cheddar my friend.

[–] rizzothesmall@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 days ago

Mmmm extra mature

[–] mavu@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 days ago

it never was cheddar, it's american "cheese".

Still more cultured than the US.

Hey, I've got plenty of culture. Proper gaming culture - that is, tabletop, board, and single player video gaming, not online competitive bullshit that's played by the kind of people who used to torment real gamers before the current era of FIFA, COD, MOBAs, and multiplayer in general.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 13 hours ago

surely gaming culture is the stuff growing inside the keyboard

[–] Senseless@feddit.org 4 points 4 days ago

Okay, fair. You get a pass.

It's not too bad if you scramble it into your green eggs. It pairs exceptionally with green ham.

When a friend's parents passed away, he came over to start packing up their house. He found tartar sauce that could vote and little onyx-like bricks of partially consumed cream cheese in the fridge. The spice rack contained Owl Spices which were donated to the state historical society.

He found tartar sauce that could vote

Strange that it had the sentience to accomplish that.

[–] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 49 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It doesn't have sentience, it votes Republican

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago (3 children)

God dammit. That explains a lot! Ok guys! Stop producing cheese! It's our only hope!

That is the most Wisconsin thing I’ve ever seen.

Side note and please don’t take offense: FTP

Lol we're no fans of the packers either. Iirc it was a joke gift for when my grandparents moved to their current house

Lol we're no fans of the packers either.

We all make mistakes sometimes.

The ultimate Packers cheese head

[–] owenfromcanada@lemmy.ca 11 points 3 days ago

Not sure it can legally be called cheese anymore

[–] muhyb@programming.dev 19 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Keep it in mint condition (and colour) at this point. :)

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.blahaj.zone 24 points 4 days ago (1 children)

At this point I think it can be considered an heirloom

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Actually, I think it's cheese.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 3 days ago

it was cheese.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 3 days ago

moldy and bacterial cheese, thats not good for you, yum.

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 4 days ago

What color did it start as

[–] ZebulonP@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

I saw these all the time as a kid. Never knew what they were. Was hoping theyd be some kind of sweet.

[–] Lumisal@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Only 78 more years to go!

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Your grandma has a 22 year old block of mold and calcium lactate.

My assumption from the coloring was a football player.

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The back label says football player

[–] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

So, it's an astronaut. Like Katie Perry.
