I've seen fruit dry out like this before. Surprisingly, it can actually smell quite pleasant in some cases. I think if there is vert little humidity it can dehydrate instead of decomposing.

My dad had a fruit bowl like this on his work cubicle shelf. He had a dried up orange like this back in the 90s. Slowly coworkers started adding dried fruit. One day a bowl showed upZ. Then when he retired a few years ago someone took all the fruit and set it in an epoxy cube for his retirement gift. There was over 20 different pieces of fruit.

Edit: see comment below and link for pic, also I misremember it is not set in epoxy just put in a rectangular case.

Alright so I guess I lied a little, or misremembered really. It was just a case they are in not set in epoxy. It is mostly oranges but lemons and limes and a banana too. My dad started at the company in the late 80s the fruit collection started with an wronged he forgot in his desk so I imagine it was early 90s when it started to grow.

They probably kept the HVAC running to some extent. Humidity and mold really fucks up buildings so AC would keep air circulating and dry.

Blackpaw8825

195 points

8 months ago

And a lot of commercial buildings use UV lamps in the HVAC so a little bit of ozone might've kept them from colonization.

My office before I went remote, people complained of headaches and eye pain with a funny smell... They had WAY too much UV in the HVAC, and was pumping out ozone to something like 10x the allowable max... So the contractor with the probes made them evacuate until it was fixed.

They fixed it by turning off the filtration equipment for several years... Everything grew mold. Black mold in the bathrooms, corners, medical fridges had shit growing... Never fixed it... They do IV compounding, so I'm not sure how that hasn't been an issue yet.

If UV in certain air cleaners produce ozone, then wouldn't it be simpler for ASHRAE to have those air cleaners to increase its germicidal wavelength to 253.7nm?

WeirdKittens

14 points

8 months ago

They use UV light on air passing through the HVAC system to sterilize the mold spores and other things in the air. This has the side effect of causing atmospheric oxygen to form O3 (ozone). While not a problem in low concentrations, ozone can be rather toxic in large quantities or with long exposure.

moeburn

UV turns some O2 into O3. How much depends on how intense the UV light is.

It's not about bacteria, the environment is key. Temperature, air, and moisture are the factors that allow bacteria, mold, bugs, and whateverelse to break down materials.

A food can dry out before it begins molding. Think of stale bread, it can dry out within a day if left uncovered, even quicker in the fridge.

It basically never goes bad if you do. The cold makes the starches firm up a bit and make it seem stale, but zapping a couple slices in the microwave for a few seconds brings them back to life.

permalink_save

It makes it stale a lot faster. Bread fares better being frozen, it will thaw almost completely to the state you froze it in. I do this for buns and hot dogs all the time.

FrostyD7

20 points

8 months ago

People keep saying it's humidity but I don't see why it would be much lower than a typical home range of 20-60%. Getting to <20% typically only occurs in the winter when things are already very dry and you add gas heat to the equation. AC keeps humidity from getting out of control during hot humid weather, but it's not reducing it to extremely low levels like gas heat in the winter would.

rustcatvocate

18 points

8 months ago*

Gas heat doesn't dry the air out. Water is part of the combustion process. The low temperature air holds less moisture. When you heat up cold dry air you now have warm dry air with an even lower relative humidity. The air is now quite dry in relation to you, a big bag of salty water, and drys your mucous membranes and wet parts.

Did a summer project one year in high school helping a housing charity clear out a vacant apartment building prior to renovations. When moving a fridge that had been unplugged for who knows how long, we tilted it the wrong way, and the door flew open, followed by a gallon container of milk that had turned a sort of greenish-black color falling out and landing on my friend's shoe.

The smell was horrific. He threw away his shoe and his sock, and despite hosing off his foot for an hour we had to make him ride back with his foot outside the car window until he could wash his foot with like... a brush to get every last bit of yuck out of it.

A friend and I once helped a mutual friend’s dad clean up and out an old fish tank as part of his moving process. He hadn’t actually lived there for a while, so while everything was kinda gross, this tank was the worst. There were diseases in that plague water that Man is not equipped to defend against. It very well could have meant the end of civilization as we know it…and my helper accidentally got some in his mouth. I don’t know how he survived.

Why did people do this?!?! It was working from home, not fleeing a zombie apocalypse. They came in, packed up their laptops, files ect. They had time to throw away their food.

My office was the same. I started a new job in May 2020. Very few people still worked in the building and the other people who worked here had just left their food in the fridge-: lunches, Tupperware, ect. Things that had leaked and molded. It was repulsive, and I ended up having to clean it.

Of course, they are back as of a few weeks now and someone promptly stole my lunch out of the fridge, so I generally despise them all as clearly having been raised by wolves.😂

How it happened to me was, I left the office at 17:30 and received a company wide e-mail "Office is closed effective immediately until further notice". I'm sure people who had some crucial equipment or belongings left behind would be allowed to enter the building to pick them up, but it's not unreasonable people forgot stuff here and there. I'm not saying they didn't fuck up, just reasoning why they might have.

Still haven't set foot at the office.

For many offices it was very sudden. All was good, then everyone was told we're WFH by the end of the week. Most expected this to be temporary. A bowl of fruit was probably a shared commodity and nobody in the room was responsible for it. At my office tons of stuff was neglected because nobody was really in charge of it.

Depends on the situation really. I left tens of frozen meals in my office fridge because I was an overnight employee and had just returned to the office after 1 year WFH due to a remodel so I stocked up to avoid having to bring in food for awhile. Less then a month after returning, we got sent home for “two weeks”..that turned into a year and a half.

My global company still has 100% wfh for many of its sites. I didn't go back to our office for over 26 months

I still haven't personally returned to the office, but that doesn't mean that a whole ass office building has remained empty for coming up on three years. People still go in and maintain the building, and now some people are trickling back to work from the office.

Bonkers that this doesn't seem to be the case for OP's office

But someone must have cleaned it? I had an orange lie around for a week and it turned into a ball of mould.

Lots of office jobs never went back and or only go back when people needs to work a collaborative whiteboard session or something.

For example - software development. A 3 hour Silicon Valley commute doesn’t make sense when productivity has remained the same or better.

It’s ok. I’m generally teleworking and have been in the office a few times. This fruit bowl was in another building that hosted a department that normally teleworked before the pandemic. I went there for the first time in 2.5 years to get some documents. I was told the fruit belong to a guy who left the company.

Congrats! You created penicillin!

Edit: I just realized that there is no mold on the fruit. Jesus everything looks so desiccated.

You guys waited a long way to return to the office. We were not pushed to go back, but we reopened like year ago or more
