-
Keep it civil. Don’t insult other community members in posts or comments, and don’t make posts designed to insult other community members or parts of the fandom with different opinions.
-
Posts must be on-topic.
-
No real life politics. That means no political advocacy, and no real life political discussions vaguely dressed up as on-topic posts. If you want to discuss real life politics, you are free to start your own community.
-
Posts must be coherent.
-
If a post is otherwise allowed but has realistic gore or nudity, please mark it NSFW.
-
Spoilers about newly released official content must be marked as [SPOILERS] with post images blurred and no spoiler information in the thread title. Comments must adhere if the thread OP specified a non-spoiler thread.
PS: Don't use the fandom! please use fallout.wiki for everything instead.

When the can was opened bacteria already came into contact with the spam. Covering it up does not stop bacteria, that’s why it’s put into the fridge. Covering food up just slows down oxidation and dehydration. It’s the fridge that slows down bacteria growth.
Unless the fridge is full of mold spores.
yeah but then the spores will float into the rest of the kitchen the moment you open and close the fridge door and your breathing in the spores anyway. Covering food up is just a fools errand at that point, since you and your house are contaminated either way.
