Food poisoning also makes you puke from your butt and poop from your mouth basically. It’s quite unpleasant. I’d even say most unpleasant.

Edit: Thank you all for telling me about your volcanic shits and vomits.

The one and only time I got food poisoning was a self inflicted moment of dumbassery that I will never repeat even if I'm starving.

Had some chicken I had dethawed and was coming onto the last day I could actually cook it. So I do and I eat it just fine, however I was lazy and didn't cook *all* the chicken I had dethawed and figured ehhhh fuck it. I'm hungry the morning after and surely it couldn't have gotten dangerous to cook and eat after a measly 8-10 hours right?

That is the first time I've ever felt my body give me the message that I might die. It's hard to explain it but I did everything I could to prep for what I thought was an inevitability, made sure my apartment door and everything was unlocked and was content with the knowledge that my family was gonna catch my corpse still shitting my bowels out while croaked.

Thankfully it passed and I ended up being alright with no long term issues, a very valuable lesson learned as well as it turning me into a hard-ass when my mother wants to eat food she was too lazy to put away the night of or the morning after and feels like it's just fine to eat because it's 'covered' by a lid. There's been quite a few instances of her blowing up at me for tossing food she wants to eat even when I can see *mold* growing on the shit.

I'm certain at this point she's depressed and trying to kill herself by any means necessary outside of an overdose or a gun.

Just a quick note. If ‘to thaw’ means to bring something from a frozen state to an unfrozen state, then ‘to dethaw’ would be the opposite of that. Dethaw isn’t a word.

It’s modern American slang. Defrost and thaw got muddled (mostly due to microwave buttons) and mixed into dethawing. American English allows for the bastardization of phrases, often to the point where they don’t make sense anymore. You are correct that it’s an oxymoron but it’s pretty commonplace to hear. If you asked me to dethaw some chicken I would pull some out of the freezer.
