Fun glitch: rot value is unsigned, and once it reaches -1 the item is reborn phoenix-style from the ashes of itself.
This makes for some interesting mechanics where its worth saving old rusty near-dead items until the end of the game just before a vital boss battle.

With the result being effectively that almost all provisions you looted yesterday are rotten the next day. The exception being salami, which last a few more days, but eating too much of it makes you take damage after going to the bathroom. You also get a stacking debuff.
The only way to not have to eat the salami will be to log in within 8 hours of picking up some veggies.
The only canned food in the game will be decorative unlootable assets.

The stacking debuff of course does have a timer that doesn’t continue running while you are not playing.

Of course.
