I just germinated 5 if 6 beans that were made in 2010. Storage matters - when you purchased them not so much.
Soaking in a cup of water for 24 hours before putting them in the rooter would be better than straight into the rooter (in my opinion) because you know the seed is getting a good soaking. In a rooter maybe maybe not. After 24 hours in water on a heat mat, top of the cable box, or some other thing to keep them warmer than room temperature usually produces a crack with a little nub poking out. This also helps you put it in the rooter (or soil) pointing in the right direction.

i like my heating pad more around 80F for germinating and seedlings. Mine is set to 85F right now
My heating pad has 3 settings low medium high but if I put it in low the root riot gets around 90f how hot should the root riot be?
My local store sold out of heating mats so I’m using a human heating mat lol

Could just add another towel or something over it. That should help a little.
On the heating mat? Or add 2 towels Bc the purple one is a wash cloth

Yep. It'll add a little more distance, and more matter to dissipate some of that heat.
Just stick the container with the germinating seeds on top of a cable box or a PC and they will stay warm but not get too hot. If you keep in in the tent then turn off the light and that should help keep it a little cooler in there. You can also remove the dome from that and that will help dissipate the heat if the heat pad is a little too warm.
I just took the temp of my root riot, it’s a 77/78f

I had a plant seed (herm) on me but it never showed any sign until I started breaking up the buds. I got over 100 beautifully mature but worthless seeds from a tiny plant and played with them just to try different germ techniques - because everyone's is the best
.What I have settled on is Black Gold seed-starter soil. a very fine peat/perlite mix with micro-goodies in it. Enough to take care of a plant until it starts popping nodes.
I soak seeds for 24 hours in a shot-glass on a heat-mat. ~30ml of water, and I add 1ml of h2o2. It adds oxygen to the water, and I beleive helps soften the shell.
After 24hours I put them pointy-end or tail down in mostly dry soil, then use a spray bottle to soak it in. I don't use a heat mat for them once in soil. Usually I have all the germs I'm going to get in 4 days.

Agronomist,
I have popped seeds that are well over 10 years old I don’t do anything special get a seedling tray fill with medium of choice and dampen it place seed in and wait a few days some seeds just don’t make it but if you can’t pop any you are doing it wrong grower error
