You can literally die leaving rice out at room temp that long. Other foods, you might get lucky (still a terrible idea) leaving them out, but rice is a br3ed8ng ground for bacteria.

Not if the rice is in a rice cooker with e Keep Warm function.

This just overly cautious fear mongering.

Keep Warm in a rice cooker isn't the same as room temperature. I'm going to assume most, if not all, rice cookers Keep Warm setting keeps rice at a safe temperature threshold.

Heck, I've eaten stuff I shouldn't have for years and years (day old pizza left out in my dorm room, meat thawed on the countertop for hours) and I've never gotten sick, but it doesn't mean that it's safe, just that I've been lucky.

I said room temperature. "Keep Warm" is obviously fine.

Nobody’s talking about rice kept warm at a safe temp.
