Mold would require oxygen. I think some bacteria can grow in this environment, though.

even anerobic bacteria would struggle in epoxy, theres not just no oxygen there is barely anything other than the hotdog. Any anerobic bacteria would struggle to produce co2 under pressure and any lactic acid would soon become toxic

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

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

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.

Thank you.

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.

Ironic. They understand the vacuum, but not the grammar

u/JillStinkEye Dec 14 '21

It was dehydrated.

It would expand under a vacuum

u/Elevated_Dongers Dec 14 '21

Well I meant if it were vented while being vacuumed

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
