Was looking through the cupboard in the kitchen today while putting away some groceries I just bought and noticed a bunch of cans of chicken noodle soup. Hmm, was wondering what I would make for dinner tonight. Chicken noodle soup sounds pretty good. Pulled one out and checked the expiration date. June, 2024. Hmm, checked the rest of them. Same date. So much for that idea. Oh yeah, some gravy back there in the back too. Same expiration date. The last few years have been little more substantial than just shadows, it seems. Wonder how much else of the real world I have lost track of?

I have had some cans of food from 2 years ago that I forgot and only found out last month. I rarely eat soup soo...
 
I found a ten year old package of chicken breasts in the bottom of the chest freezer. The dog was very happy.
 
I think I have a whole turkey in the chest freezer over in the old reptile building. No telling what expiration date that might have on it. But it had to have been purchased around 5 years ago.

that must have gone bad by now.
 
I've had food poisoning 3 times. I am very particular when it comes to dates on food. Drives wife crazy sometimes. She will say the milk is just fine but if it is one day past I will not touch it.
 
Apparently artificial intelligences are not quite so picky about their food items. A Google AI search says:

Keep frozen until you're ready to thaw it. Turkeys can be kept frozen in the freezer indefinitely; however, cook within 1 year for best quality.

As soon as my home desktop computer becomes self aware, I am going to cook that turkey and feed it to it.
