Human capacity never ceases to amaze me.
I did the same thing at our local sushi restaurant. For a while I was convinced it was the iced tea.
Nope, I just randomly became allergic to fish in my 20s.
i thought my beer had expired one night because i had a terrible time on the toilet at 4am but i totally forgot i ate an entire wedge of blue cheese earlier
Beer tastes bad when it goes bad, yeast is really good at protecting itself - there’s nothing in beer that anything can eat without oxygen so nothing can reproduce, most things can’t survive the alcohol.
Beer in commercial places doesn’t have time to go bad they empty multiple kegs a week, a keg typically holds about 100 pints
My homebrew setup uses kegs that hold about 35 pints and they don’t empty quicker than in a season, some of my beers are on tap for a year or more. Beer life is limited by oxygen penetration and temperature.
If it’s exposed to air it goes bad in days to weeks depending on temperature but it goes bad by the yeast converting it to vinegar, and that very quickly tastes bad, even very drunk people tip out rather than drink an even slightly oxidised beer
I had a beer once that had been put in the freezer and then forgotten about and it did sort of frozen and exploded at the same time. So I got it out of the freezer and put it on the side and it thawed out over the course of the next day but it tasted awful afterwards. It was probably out on the side for 4 or 5 hours before I came home from work, saw that it is now finally defrosted, and put it in the fridge. So that’s a very fat turnaround.
OMG I did the same thing at a local pub. Thinking steak sandwich. Ordered one up. Pretty good! Went home, went to bed. Three hours later - gurgle - glorp - oh shit! The rest of the night it was coming out both ends. Feel fine after some sleep. Forget all about it. Three weeks later, at the same pub. Thinking steak sandwich again. Pretty good! Went home, went to bed. Sure enough, three hours later, lather, rinse, repeat. Feel fine after some sleep. Forget all about it. Three weeks later, go to the same pub. Thinking steak sandwich again, third time’s the charm, right? My face when the pub had a sign up saying it was closed down for health code violations :/ To be fair, it was a good sandwich.
Get checked for hepb if you’re unvaccinated for it. It lingers after exposure. That shit will ruin your liver later if ignored.
That’s basically my experience with salvia in my late teens/early 20s. Enough time would pass where I’d think, “it really couldn’t be as bad as I remember,” and every time I learned that it could be worse than I remembered.
Also with smoking weed when very drunk.
It’s a shame that this is a re-post: I would like to know if the culprit was the tuna or the house sauce.
Iirc it was the house sauce
Repeatedly off tuna without smell would be kind of hard to replicate.
My bet is on the sauce (like they kept reflling the same contaminated container)
Repeatedly getting sick from a work surface or employee hygiene seems sketch. up to 50% of the times and i’d be on board, but every time…
Plot twist: its because they never properly cleaned the prep area, the fridge was too warm and the employees didnt wash their hands regularly when switching between the cash register and food handling.
This guy. Taking the bullet for all of us. A true scientist.
Could also be the owner that never washes his hands.
And that’s why I came into the office drinking a bottle of house sauce.
There was a cheapo Japanese restaurant downtown. Plastic everything. Went there for lunch a while back. Worst Bento box ever.
Six months later. Hmm, Bento box sounds good. Go to this Japanese restaurant. Halfway through the awful meal, remember I’d been there! Swore never to go back. Again.
This cycle repeated SIX times.
What broke it was the whole building burning to the ground because of a grease fire.
Point is… hmm… Bento for lunch sounds good.
I had a similar experience involving pizza. Growing up I remember eating sbarro. I remember liking it. I know I liked the look of how shiny the pizza was. It reminded me of cartoon pizza.
Anyway, fast forward till I’m 30 year old man recruiting for the military. I was in malls walking around and I noticed the shiny pizza from sbarro. I ordered it. I ate it. It tasted like cardboard. I don’t know if they changed their recipe, but chances are my taste buds just grew up and had better quality pizza over the years.
Well…I’m a slow learner and over the course of about 2-3 months I ended up eating sbarro like 3-4 times. Everytime I saw that shiny pizza, my brain had a nostalgia hit and I just went an ordered the 2 slice and a drink deal. After the last time, I wanted to throw it away but I forced myself to finish the cardboard pizza so I would remember how terrible it is.
I haven’t had sbarro since.
The nice thing about pizza is that even when it’s bad it’s still pretty good.
A Maltese cafe trying to imitate the pizza made in Naples managed to make the only pizza I didn’t finish. I don’t think they cooked it hot enough for the style
For real. I’ve had very few truly awful pizzas. I remember the bad ones. Looking at you “Marco’s Pizza.”
I have such good memories from my time in Fukuoka and the bentos on sale after a certain hour, it really was dirt cheap and super good. If my memory serves right, it was around 200¥, 230¥, something like that. Approximately 2€ ! even less today with the yen having lost value.
Fun fact: This is not actually much different from the process of testing which foods trigger your IBS. After keeping the low FODMAPs diet, wherein you initially remove all possible triggers, you then test them one by one to see which ones you have specifically.
This is me. Turns out basically everything gives me dhiarrea.
Is your username inspired by this?
It is indeed!
No, it’s very different.
When you have multiple allergies/intolerances, starting at zero and then adding one thing at a time is a lot more efficient than removing one thing at a time.
Removing one thing at a time will create many false negatives, where you remove a hit but don’t notice because you left another hit behind.
That’s not binary search.
Correct. I didn’t reply to the binary search post.
I feel like a binary search method would work too
A Binary search requires a ordered data set. Something like "if you react to X, you will also react to any X+1, X+2… X+n. Food is not ordered, you cant know if you react badly to bell peper because you reacted badly to whole grain wheat.
Can’t you easily reduce this to a compatible problem though?
Let’s say you have the set of foods you suspect: red blue green yellow brown purple
You construct an ordered set from this by making the elements sets of foods such that each set is the one to its left plus any one more entry, the leftmost set is the empty one, and the rightmost is the one containing all your suspects:
{}, {red}, {red, blue}, {red, blue, green} … {red, blue, green, yellow, brown}, {red, blue, green, yellow, brown, purple}
Now a check operation means eating the elements in the current set, if you get sick you go half way to the left border and update the right one, if you don’t get sick you go half way to the right border and update the left one.
You should end up with the smallest set that makes you sick. Subtract the set to the left of it and you have the food that makes you sick left over.
I dont think that works. If i try the 5 ingredient set and get sick, i gained no information about ingrediences 6,7,8,9,10 (if there are 10 ingredients in total). If next i try set 3 and get sick, i have made 2 tries and still have 0 information. If ingredient 1 makes me sick i will need log(n) tries until i try the set that only contains ingredient 1. After that i have only one point of information because everything i tried so far was tainted by ingredient 1. I have to try everything again.
Anytime you get sick you gain no information. If you are very lucky and ingedient 1-x are all harmless, then you will eliminate multiple at once. But if 1 is harmless, 2 makes you sick, and the next 1000 ingredients are harmelss you will still have to try log(1002) times to eliminate ingredient 2 and then you know nothing about 3-1003.
This is a strange thing to do, tell people you have a diarrhea fetish.
For Science!
You mean the tuna and the house sauce weren’t the two variables this guy tried isolating first?
He literally tried removing rice and all the vegetables before thinking “hmm, maybe it’s the tuna or the sauce.”
What a loon. He deserves every one of those awful shits.
probably the “inhouse sauce”
Good science doesn’t start with biases friend.
Good science will use previous norms, findings and general trends to provide a more useful starting point tho.
Gotta do it in random order.
Good science starts from the body of evidence we already know, creates a plausible hypothesis, and then tests that hypothesis to see whether it can be disproven.
We don’t say “hey, maybe gravity isn’t real so to be unbiased I need to assume it’s not and test every other possibility before determining what keeps making these bricks fall on my head every time I throw them up in the air”
No need to reinvent the wheel for every experiment.
Depends on how much tuna you want to eat in the process, shits be dammed. Optimize for quantity of fish consumed.
I’ll eat tuna from somewhere that doesn’t give me bad tuna…
Quite the sense of humor you’ve cultivated there.
I don’t need humor, I just need unspoiled tuna.
Maybe not the greatest example since we don’t fully understand gravity. ”good" in the sense of being expedient, affordable and conventional. Sometimes approaching unsolved problems without the constraints of prior constructs can lead to better understanding.
Also, vegetables usually are the culprits anyways.
Okay, but they can focus on experiments designed to determine whether gravity is caused by quantum mechanics or relativity or something else. They don’t need to drop bricks on their heads just to prove newtonian physics…
dude I’ve def ate food I loved the taste of but knew it was gonna make me shit liquid fire.
so good. like, gas station greasy ramen in red hot water broth, but so good
then so bad, so very bad
Pretty sure he’s forgetting the constant variable, where x equals the times the cook uses the porta potty divided by the times he does not wash his hands.
(i.e division by zero = butthole undefined, or maybe infinite diarrhea).
