If the wax seal has never been broken and it's been kept in a cool pantry or cellar, I'd 100% eat it.

If you cannot verify either: chuck it.

    As best as I can tell, the wax is still has no cracks and it's been stored in the beer fridge this entire time

    When a friend's parents passed away, he came over to start packing up their house. He found tartar sauce that could vote and little onyx-like bricks of partially consumed cream cheese in the fridge. The spice rack contained Owl Spices which were donated to the state historical society.

    Strange that it had the sentience to accomplish that.

    It doesn't have sentience, it votes Republican

    Keep it in mint condition (and colour) at this point. :)

    My assumption from the coloring was a football player.

    I thought that at first too, but it definitely looks more like an astronaut helmet.

    I was still in high school when that cheese was made.

    Sometimes I wish I were still in high school, but mostly because it was a different era... How foolish and idealistic we were to believe that dubbya was going to be the worst president and that America would ever unfuck its shit and become s place worth living in again "soon". There was no actual recovery after 9/11; just manic delusions.

    No, unfortunately, no matter how hard I yearn and wish and dream, it's not 2003 anymore and I'll never be in high school again. Hell, I don't even envy the kids who are in high school NOW. I hear that all the issues schools used to have back then have only gotten worse. Even college has become a scam due to student loans. I'm actually glad I quit college to just work and pay off my loans twenty years ago.

    If I had stayed in college for my chosen major I'd still be in debt to this day but unable to find work. Things would have only turned out better for me if I had changed my major to go full on into engineering, but that concept was nowhere near my mind back then and wasn't even close to "on the table". And now, even that track is oversaturated. The economy is hemorrhaging all its resources at the parasitic tumors afflicting its managerial and administrative levels. We're all just waiting for the confidence game to fall apart at this point...

    Think of what cheese is.

    "I milked this cow, and now the milk has become full of bacteria, smells gross, and has solidified.......but I think I'm going to eat it."

    What I mean is that you have no idea what bacteria is in that cheese or if the beer fridge was constantly refrigerated. If it doesn’t kill you it could still lead to an unpleasant ER visit. Not worth it over $10-20 worth of cheese.

    I remember getting into such a heated argument with a dumbass on early lemmy about moldy bread and cheese.

    it got so heated that I was issued a temporary ban for telling them to go ahead and eat a moldy cheese sandwich and die from food poisoning.

    some people just want to prove they're "tough" by risking their lives for the dumbest shit.

    Moldy bread? Nah.

    Moldy hard cheese? Just generously cut off the mold and it's fine*

    *I wouldn't feed this to anyone else, but I'd eat it, and do all the time

    EDIT: the USDA agrees that moldy hard cheese is safe to eat https://ask.usda.gov/s/article/If-food-has-mold-is-it-safe-to-eat

    For hard cheese, such as Cheddar, cut off at least 1-inch around and below the mold spot (keep the knife out of the mold itself). After trimming off the mold, the remaining cheese should be safe to eat.

    Rule of thumb, don't be a dumbass about it and you can do potentially dangerous stuff just fine
