>>15550988
Yes of course.
Definitely don't eat it though.

>>15550994
I guess I'll get food poisoning?

Yeah but it probably won't taste very good having been in there that long unless it was vac-sealed.

>>15551005
Not really concerned about quality or taste desu. Only care if I get sick and puke if I do eat it

>>15550988
It probably won't taste that great but it won't kill you.

It is entirely possible that it will kill you
A pound of ground beef is what, $3? Why gamble on that?

>>15551208
I'm poor
Also, I've already started eating it. How fucked am I?

>>15551208
I'm down to 30 cents in my bank account. Spent the last of my money on a pack of smokes and renew my grinder membership

>>15550988
Proof of use by date or FUCK off

>>15550988
If it's been frozen since then it will be perfectly safe to eat, but will be so freezer burned it will taste abominable.

>>15551002
No, but it will taste like you will.

>>15551236
You alive?

>>15550988
That's the day Bourdain passed on, you're eating blessed meat. It's like the Jesus toast pattern

>>15551236
why was ground beef in your freezer for two and a half years? what did you eat in the meantime?

>>15551236
that looks good anon
but what >>15552193 said
are you completely sure it was in the freezer at constant temperatures at all times during these 3 years?

>>15552248
yes

how does the meat taste, OP? tell us

>>15552193
Shit I've got stuff way older than that in my freezer.

>>15551918
I'm currently alive, yeah. I thought I felt a little funny half an hour ago but I think I was just imagining it as it went away and I'm not feeling nausea. That doesn't mean I'm not scared though, I got too spooked while eating it and proceeded to throw it out.
>>15552460
I added a lot of seasoning to it so whatever quality it has was overmasked by the as seasoning
However, it was drier than freshly brought beef though I would say
>>15552193
>>15552248
I got the ground beef from my parents house, that was always kept in a freezer at constant temperatures, to which it went into my freezer. The only problem is that during that time period, my freezer was less cool than usual (for about a week) but I'm not sure the exact temperature drop. It was still cool and kept everything relatively frozen though. Not sure if that's enough to allow bacteria to grow within the beef or something.

>>15550988
As long as it stayed frozen the entire time and you cook it thoroughly, you'll be fine. It won't taste as good, but it won't kill you. Of course, if it smells bad, you shouldn't eat it. But brown/gray ground beef is fine and normal, it's actually how it looks before they make it red to make it "look better." The red wears off with enough time, but that alone means nothing. It's the smell that's important.

>>15550988
Trying to kill yourself?

>>15550988
Perfectky fine. Even if it would have been spoiled you would only need to heat it up real ho and long for everything to die off (outside of botolinum, but than again, that would have bn the wrong conditions for it).

It will taste shitty but will be fine otehrwise.

>>15552583
They don't "make" it red. That's just oxydation. Once exposed to air fresh meat becomes red. Raw freshly harvested meat also isn't red in the body.

>>15552609
They actually do make it red because they choose when (and how) to package it. If you package it right away, it winds up more purple than red. They wait until it turns red, and then package it to keep it redder longer. They also try to control how much light it gets in order to keep it redder longer. And this all comes down to marketing, because people think red ground beef is fresh when that's not at all how it works.

>>15552639
That's not "making it red". That's keeping it best looking for the longest time. You wouldn't seel your car before giving it a proper cleaning either.

bunch of pussies itt lmao

>>15552682
That's "making it red" because they're doing things specifically so it'll be red and not purple or brown or "rainbow" colored. But now we're in a semantics argument because you refuse to just admit you were wrong about this, and you thought I didn't know what I was talking about when it turns out I know a whole lot more than you.

>>15552789
I'm not wrong. You're just salty that your missrepresentation isn't sticking. "To make something" implies actually doing something, not just waiting till packaging. You know shit, my retard, I butchered my own pigs and regularly make my own ground meat. There are eought other things to be angry at the food industry. Packing ground isn't one of them.

>get a job? Nah mom, ill just eat your 2 year old ground beef
You literally are a parasite of society a leech, a cockroach

>>15552858
>"To make something" implies actually doing something
They are doing things. They purposely keep it away from light and package it at the exact right time. Those are activities. Packaging it alone is doing something. If left alone, that meat wouldn't be red by the time it hit the shelves. Hell, it wouldn't be red by the time they put it on the trucks.
Now you're lying and larping as a butcher, and talking about "being angry at the food industry" when I never expressed any anger at the food industry, no one in this thread has. This is just pathetic, anon. Take your L and walk away.

>>15552924
>Now you're lying and larping as a butcher
What do you want, a precie way of butchering a pig? Cutting chicken heads of without a mess? Leading your cows to a meadow each morning? You're some wholefoods soccer mom which doesn't know how shit is done, considering mindfull packaging
>they be makin my meat red!

Just stop replying to me.

>>15552881
Not op but dang having a cat look at you while reading that makes me want to better my own life.

>>15552992
I want you to not lie. I don't get why you'd try to lie to "win" an argument other than that you saw you were losing, so you decided to make shit up in hopes that you could win. Thing is, if you were right, you wouldn't need to lie and make shit up in order to win. You'd do like me and just rely on the truth.
>Just stop replying to me.
You wish I did because you're tired of losing, but can't stop replying to me because you're stupid and think you can say something to turn your L into a W. It won't happen because you're a lying sack of shit loser.

>>15553024
>everyone with more experience is lying!
>y-you're losing, d-d-do you hear me?!

>>15553041
Anon, we both know you lied and lost.

>>15553057
Whatever you need to tell yourself, fren.

>>15553061
>Whatever you need to tell yourself, fren.
It's called the truth. Maybe next time, you could try it instead of trying to lie and larp as a butcher.

>>15553066
>killing and butchering an animal is so foreign to him that it needs to be a lie

>>15553073
Anon, have you ever considered not lying on the internet?

>>15553076
>he can't stop himself

Imagine the hospital bill

>>15553085
Alright anon. Post three timestamped pics proving you're a butcher with the phrase "the magical fruit" on the timestamp. Go ahead and win.
But if you can't, or if the next reply from you is more greentext cope where you pretend you're laughing when you're really crying that you got called out on your lie, then that's it. You lose.

>>15550988
Why do you hate your toilet so much? Try to not dehydrate while shitting yourself dumb

>>15553096
Might be a shocker, but I don't own a smartphone nor a camera and I'm not taking my shitty hp out to the freezer or barn when we're snowed in. I also never said, that I am a professional butcher. I kill and butcher my own animals for self sufficiency. Pro tip: Hammers are great stunt guns and hanging a chicken by it's legs for a couple minutes makes it comatous, which is easier on the animal and the mess.

Again, I can't imagine in what a shithole you must live to think that's ridiculously unlikely.But be my guest, fren.

>>15553122
Then you lost, lying anon. Thanks for the easy win.

>>15553132
Enjoy it, fren. I hope you have a beautifull snowy day in your concrete dystopia.

>>15552881
I'm a member of Trump's online army, cuck. Much more important that working.

YOU LIED AND YOU LOST
YOU LIED AND YOU LOST
YOU LIED AND YOU LOST
YOU LIED AND YOU LOST

>>15553252
My name is patrick, do you want to be my frend? It's always good to have self sufficient ones in such hard times. You can come over and pet some piglets before we castrate them.

>>15552881
There is nothing wrong with cleaning out your freezer. Once you defrost it cook a little in the microwave or a skillet then smell and taste it. It won't taste fresh but unless it got severely freezer burned it will taste fine in casseroles or other meals that are heavily seasoned.
