Bread growing stale is one of those few chemical reactions that happen faster when colder (but above freezing).

Does Refrigeration Really Ruin Bread?
Bread doesn't just go stale by drying out: It also goes stale due to the retrogradation of starch. Don't know what that means? We explain it, then show how best to store bread so that you can eat it days on end.
Science!
Freeze it or dry it, but don’t put it in the fridge. Bread is a lot like bananas that way. Putting them in the fridge will make them go bad faster than leaving them at room temp.
EDIT: oh hey Tin beat me to it.

Yeah about a week over here, maybe sooner if it's more humid.
So I wasn't sure where to post this. Picture thread? I think there was a thread for AI stuff, but that might just be @GasBandit's little weird singing thing (incidentally if you want to take some of these and play with them, Gas, I'm down).
My Heritage has an AI that will take photos of you and transform them into portraits or pictures of you from the past. It has various different categories it can do and you will get a smattering of them for free (it does require you set up an account). After that they charge for access to more. It's kinda fun to see what it comes up with. Here are a few of the ones it game me:
A 19th Century Princess
1930's Movie Star
1940's Glamour Girl
Me from the 1950's
Ancient Greek
French Royalty
A Noblewoman
Russian Tsarina
A Saxon

I've been posting mine in the "Generative Art" in the artists corner. I don't think that's what the thread originally was intended for, but it seems to fit the topic/style.
I live in a humid, tropical climate, so my bread can go moldy in literally hours. I also freeze my bread.
Ditto, it even makes shitty toast.
My house, at it's warmest (lol) is 19 C and probably -200% humidity based on my dry skin and nose. Nothing molds here, except cheese in the fridge because I'm lactose intolerant and take a month to eat a block of mozza. Even bread bought from the local bakery takes over a week to go moldy and they're about as simple as it gets ingredients-wise.

I grew up with freezer bread and milk. Nothing says yum like scraping ice off your bread to make a PB&J.
Best I an do is a single Poptart via Canada Post.

I try to be an extremely mediocre Catholic but fail at even that, and nonetheless I think that retail workers need to be given special dispensation for Christmas - i.e. we can celebrate after because I actually love Christmas carols, especially the old religious ones, but after 40 hours/week of Christmas music, the last thing I want is more, on the day I actually get off.
When I open my own shop, we closin' after the 23rd for a few days and there's no way we will have a Christmas music policy.

Man, the paycheck will be nice, but don't burn yourself out, or sacrifice your health.
Me "If Fred Flintstone uses his feet to drive everywhere why is he fat? Is Wilmas cooking that good?"
@Squidleybits "..............................."

Seems there sis a lot of coasting going on. Feet and legs to accelerate and brake, but seems like it’s all coasting from there.
Fred always looked to me like the kind of guy that had a layer of fat over dense muscle. The same way a lot of strongman competitors look fat but are easily more powerful than bodybuilders who are just focusing on look.

Have you seen how much meat the man eats at a single sitting?
It's a wonder his protein farts haven't killed someone.
