It’s in the mail and not refrigerated. How processed is that cheesecake that it’s stable at room temp? Or is it?

Ice packs in the box. A lot of food subscription delivery service packages look like this. The inside has an extra layer of thicker paper to resist condensation
The fancy ones use dry ice instead of regular

I’m aware, but it’s still time sensitive. Either way, this box isn’t tempting.

Wait until you hear about people who leave butter outside the fridge for days at a time.

So much plastic waste for such a fleeting amount of happiness

That's cardboard

That's cardboard
Inside the cardboard is a shitload of styrofoam and plastic-lined ice packs.

Butter does well for a while but will eventually go rancid, though most sticks don’t last long enough for it.
Sour cream, cracked eggs, and cream cheese, however, are t known for their longevity outside the fridge.

Honestly, unless you can quickly find who it belongs to, you should just eat it. If it's addressed to your nextdoor neighbor and you can easily get it to them, fine. If they don't know you enough to trust you, they at least know where you live and know that you're probably not messing with them.
But think about it. Let's say you order a cheesecake and it gets delivered to a random stranger's house. They call you up and tell you that they have your cake. Would you still want that cheesecake, after it had been in some randos house? You have no way of knowing what they may have done to it. And you can almost certainly get a replacement easily ordered.
So really, unless it was my neighbor's cake, I would just eat it. You can't legally be billed for any unsolicited goods mailed to your house, and I didn't order the cake. I'm not going to have to pay for it. And even if I did succeed in tracking down some complete stranger to give them the cake, they're likely to just throw it in the trash. Really, at that point, I'm the only one likely to actually eat the cake at all. So why let it go to waste? I'm eating that cake!

You don't? If you leave it in the fridge you just have rock hard butter.

The dairy and long distance transportation parts of it have much higher carbon emissions than the plastic packaging. Plastic pollution is usually a distraction.

that's the big difference between food items and other packages. if we're close enough we'll pop over and deliver a misdelivered parcel to the neighbors, but i'm in a fortunate enough economic situation where I don't have to think about stealing someone else's delivery. we saved a husband with his wife's birthday present a few years ago, which got delivered to our house during their party. i can only imagine the feeling of watching for a delivery that will save your bacon and your phone binging that it's there and having forty witnesses that no, the van did not even drive by. they had good margaritas.
