Obligatory- refrigerators don't keep your food THAT cold and bacteria can start growing on it generally in just 4 hours if it isn't opened. So unless you know the exact time it died, or you know the internal temperature when you open it, then better to play it safe than risk getting sick
People have survived millions of years without refrigerators. Most products don't get bad in a few hours just because they're kept at 8° instead of 6°. Granted, there's some stuff you want to be careful with, like raw poultry and minced meat, but neither the pasteurized milk nor the cured sausage will go bad in just a few hours, even at room temperature. Even if they would, you'd usually see, smell and taste it.
If it was as bad as you say, millions of pupils would die each summer from food poisoning because of the sandwich they carry unrefrigerated with them the whole morning until the lunch break. The temperature in an average teenagers backpack is much higher than that in a refrigerator that has been off for a few hours.
People haven't survived millions of years.
You’re so smart for pointing out their mistake! Boy what a dumbass that commenter was to write all that and mess up that detail, it just ruins the whole argument completely
