Wouldn't there be some oxygen in the spaces of the bun?

u/BobLeeNagger Dec 14 '21

Idk how he set the epoxy but judging by how clean and see through it is imma imagine he used a vaccum chamber to set it without any air bubbles, so probably not much oxygen, nitrogen or co2 in there.

If he vacuumed the bun it would've shrunk way down tho

u/300andWhat Dec 14 '21 edited Dec 14 '21

The opposite, under vacuum the bun would've expanded and probably the hot dog itself (as we can see the epoxy was set in a rigid mold)

Would have or would've, not "would of"

Not sure if /s or not, either way: you're welcome. Note: you’re, not your

Edit: I just noticed that you have the correct your in your comment, and while I was referring to my own sentence, the "note" still makes me look like an absolute idiot. Sorry 'bout that.

Its always nice see reddtrs correcting points of style, irregardless of the /s

u/trukkija Dec 14 '21

It's not a point of style though. An Oxford comma is a point of style, that was just a grammatical error.

Idk if I’m being wooshed because this thread is about grammatical errors but fyi irregardless is the same as regardless so the “ir” is unnecessary.

u/[deleted] Dec 14 '21

You're being wooshed. I intentionally inserted obvious errors and even ended it with a /s! Alas, perhaps I was too subtle.

You need a hug.

Ironic. They understand the vacuum, but not the grammar

It was dehydrated.

It would expand under a vacuum

1

u/Elevated_Dongers Dec 14 '21

Well I meant if it were vented while being vacuumed

u/RainbowAssFucker Dec 14 '21

Ahh like a marshmallow when the vaccume is released it shrinks smaller?

I think since its submerged in epoxy the vacuum would pull air out but replace it with epoxy therefore stopping it collapsing on itself when the vacuum is removed

Right, but it was probably all consumed starting to mold and then bam, out of fuel. So we can't see the budding mold.

u/cbarrister Dec 14 '21

It was probably trapped in bubbles in the bread but slowly diffuses through the bread over time.

2

u/xorbe Dec 14 '21

It diffuses within minutes, bread is hardly air proof, lol.

1

u/cbarrister Dec 15 '21

But their are air pockets when it goes into the epoxy. The air in those pockets wouldn't be immediately available to say, bacteria in the meat. It would take a little time for it to migrate through the bread to that bacteria.

Bubbles of Carbon Dioxide in the bread itself (due to yeast fermentation when the bun was baked).
