I was floored when I learned that some people do this. It's disgusting and a good way to accidentally eat botulism
Do you have a source on that? I'm pretty sure pizza does not go bad in 24h at room temp and normal humidity. While I agree that food safety is important not everything needs to be stored in fridge temperatures.
Well it depends on what one considers normal temperature and humidity I guess, now that I wrote this.
Anything cooked goes in the fridge or freezer, that's something that everyone should be expected to know but humans are really good at proving how dumb they are. Thousands of people get sick every year from leaving food out in room temp. It's not that it will always go bad quickly, it's that the chance of that happening compared to keeping it in a colder environment is so much higher. And who the fuck likes sweaty room temp anything? It's disgusting.
Do you also store bread in the fridge?
Properly made bread has low moisture content and low pH. It's basically a self preserving food, like pickles. But when you buy shit bread (which technically is a yeast flavoured cake, not bread) it will develop mould within a couple of days even with preservatives added.
