I’d probably it eat if it was just me. But wife and little kid, I won’t risk it.

They had about 50 people get sick in Monroe a couple of years ago from rice that was cooked the day before for a jambalaya fundraiser. Not sure if it was lack of refrigeration, but I remember reading rice is an excellent breeding ground for bacteria. I would toss it.

If I'm going to have rice I try to make just enough for whatever it is I'm eating that day
I always throw away leftover rice immediately

Once ate some boiled hotdogs that I left floating in water overnight. There was a dead fly in the water the next morning and I still ate them. Not my finest moment.

I’ll get downvoted for this, but I say reheat and eat.
Unless you left that out since yesterday afternoon or it was really hot in your house, I don’t see a problem. Left on the stove/counter overnight in a 68-70F home? Eat it.

Reheat for sure. I leave shite out all the time and eat it the next day.

I actually experienced the exact thing after getting a bad (raw) oyster one Christmas.
and you are correct, it was the longest three to four days of my life- the first 48-72 hours being particularly unpleasant. I didn't eat raw oysters for about five years after that

Sniff it. If it doesn't smell spoiled, nuke it and enjoy.

She gave me the flue last year, I would just consider it payback

What the hell does this have to do with bacteria multiplying and creating toxins?
There is a good chance you won’t get sick. This is true. All I’m saying is that it’s not worth the chance you will. Especially if you’re serving it to your loved ones. A simple case Diarrhea isn’t the concern here... People die from food poisoning. People become paraplegic from food poisoning. People have life-altering consequences from food poisoning.
But by all means, keep eating stuff like this because “I done ate me all kindsa food done been left out overnight. I ain’t never been done got sick”.

How many people have eaten leftover pizza the next morning?

Uhh... no. The steam will condense under the lid creating a nice warm wet environment that bacteria love.
4 hours between 40-140 degrees and then it needs to be thrown out. That’s what food scientists recommend. There again, do what you want if you need not to lose the $10 worth of food that badly.

Dude, there wasn't any surviving bacteria when it was over 160. They come from out side.

Wrap Leftovers Well
Cover leftovers, wrap them in airtight packaging, or seal them in storage containers. These practices help keep bacteria out, retain moisture, and prevent leftovers from picking up odors from other food in the refrigerator. Immediately refrigerate or freeze the wrapped leftovers for rapid cooling.

Of course you cover and wrap your food dumbass. I didn’t say otherwise. You conveniently didn’t bold the key phrase in your quote:
If you find me a credible scientific link that says leaving food out overnight is safe/recommended to consume the next day... we’ll have a different conversation.
Again, the USDA as well as every food scientist in the industry recommends that food is refrigerated as soon as possible. And that food held in the danger zone between 40-140 degrees for more than 4 hours should be thrown out to prevent food borne illnesses. But go ahead and keep leaving your food out overnight. You’re definitely right about this. It’s all good.

The food was left out. That part is over. If red beans and sausage is left out, you're way safer if it's been covered. This isn't even debatable. Did you miss covered vs uncovered petri dish day?
