Yep. You're all alone on that side of the fence. Just clear air (and rotting snacks) as far as the eye can see ...

Yes. Stale chips are...ugh...
OTOH, last week I also finished a carton of eggs that had apparently expired in early September. Cooked them for breakfast last weekend - I couldn't tell the difference.
I also have sour cream in the fridge right now with an expiration date of April 2022--I removed the seal only in September, I think, had some then, and yesterday again. Tasted perfectly fine to me.

I think those dates are for when the plastic starts leeching into the water.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

The bottle is formed by the water being injected cold in the plastic mold, so I thing the leeching starts much earlier.

With eggs put them in a cup of water, if they float, DON'T use them. If they sink, they're okay.

I had heard that before, but didn't try it. I just live on the edge like that...

There can only be one: you!

Yes.
I'm not even sure leaving a chips bag open a month would make them go stale in Denver. An open soft drink, on the other hand, will go flat in less than an hour.

I leave peppridge farm cookies unwrapped for a day because they're too crunchy.
Other than that, no.

I don't recall ever saying: that's nice and stale ... unless I was making bread crumbs.

Are they actually "stale"? Or perhaps just that they have absorbed a bit of moisture? Or dried out a bit more perhaps since it might depend where you live.

I Thank Fueled by Decaff for his/her idea The Lounge[^] of #include'ing every header and one by one eliminating those not needed. It can easily be automated i.e. to wit once compiled as in my case the order matters though finding the correct order is only 1h of labor more or less on my pig of a machine then starting at the bottom of the list doing as suggested which can easily be automated for all the files in the project via awk. Voila Bingo Presto Problem Solved! Once and for All. I can not see any reason this will not work. Why is FbyD's idea not common widespread or taught in school though I would not know if not common widespread or taught in school as I am a meagre programmer but a happy one now that I can minimize my build times on my pig of a machine with just a press of a button.

1. I have about 400 headers, and there are much larger projects than that. Want to start?
2. As software evolves, #includes get added. Want to maintain that?
3. As I mentioned yesterday, you can remove an #include for a header that is included transitively. But doing so can break the compile if a file that you #include removes an #include that gave you this transitive embedding.
The only way to make this painless is with a tool that analyzes dependencies so that it can update #include directives automatically.

I didn't know that such a tool exists. Thanks for the tip.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

It seems to me no matter how headers are #include'd there is an order w/ a top and a bottom. Perhaps it is tree-like. In which case each branch may have different needs at a common root. This would complicate things but can still be automated per FbD's idea as near as I can discern. Specifically if a root of one branch does not require a particular file but another branch w/ the same root does, the automation keeps track of this and #include's it for both branches.

A similar issue I have with C# is that I use CSC (the command-line C# compiler) with response files -- some response files include other response files, etc.
As my code has evolved, I may have some code files included in a response file when they are no longer needed.
Every once in a while I think about writing a tool which will eliminate references to code files which are no longer needed in a particular build.
