So…? 🤷‍♀️

There’s even a website that translates it for you: https://www.composerize.com/

Can you please explain how the puratos lab

Yeah, I can explain that:

"... refreshed every two months with the original flour with which it was made, thereby replicating conditions in the original bakery."

Funny, mh?

What does that have to do with bread?

Nothing, it means you don't have any idea how "that starter from etsy" smelled.

Starters contain the yeast that’s in the flour and the air where they are made.

Then you say: And maybe the defining variable is your local microbiota,

🙄 You really have issues reading, don't you.

lol that was the point I was disagreeing with then you flip flop or something.

My point was that a bought starter will change at your home, but since your own source shows that it is in fact the flour, you probably should go bake some bread. aY cArAmBa.

That's nonsense. Chlorinated water is harmless for any human but will make short work of your starter.

Aha. Well, you're right about one thing: sourdough is a symbiotic colony of not just yeast but also LAB. Everything else...

Where do you think the yeast and LAB in your starter come from? Why do you have regional differences in microbial composition? Why do rye and wheat starter have completely different proportions of LAB and yeast? What happens if you change the temperature of your starter during the growth phase?

Go ahead, split your starter, feed one part each with rye, wheat, spelt flour. Now go and take the same flour but grow one at a different temperature from the other. Come back again in three weeks, tell me they're still the same starter.

Your starter is a product of it's surroundings, that is your house microbiota, flour, also water and temperature. And maybe the defining variable is your local microbiota, not the flour, IDK. Doesn't matter.

Source: the starter I bought on Etsy still smells and tastes the same as it did when I bought it a year ago even though I’ve been feeding it my flour.

I highly doubt that a) you have a proper recollection of smell and taste of something you assessed a year ago and b) your senses are a proper indicator of microbial composition.

Source: I studied sensory evaluation methods and conducted studies with several hundred participants.

Also, science.

Lol

Don't. Starters contain the yeast that's in the flour and the air where they are made. So whatever yeasts are in your bought starter – they will quickly be replaced by the ones you add.

You will end up with what you've gotten with your own flour anyway, so don't bother.

The taste of the starter depends on the flour, a whole rye flour starter will be very different from an italian tipo 00 flour madre lievito.

And since nobody mentioned this: watch the quality of your water. Tap water is very good where I live, but it might be chlorinated at your place.

Look, I just gave you real world examples why and how your view on evolution is undercomplex and wrong, also I did explicitly tell you there’s more to society than the pure basics of evolution.

Maybe – just a really wild speculation here – the adult Gorns are responsible for the Gorns being a space-faring species, like, you know, the same way humans don’t need school and university for survival…

What is reading

It’s also a lifestyle that selects for intelligence (small hunters tend to be pretty smart)

Humans are already on the large side for mammals and are pretty intelligent (or let’s rather say successful)

Why would there be a species where the adults are intelligent and social enough to be a spacefaring power, and yet apparently nothing they learn as an adult is needed for an individual to pass on it’s genes?

You already do know another species who does that, and you call those useless adults Nana and Gramps.

There’s more to a society (and to evolution) than just surviving and procreating, you need knowledge and history. This you can only build when you’re not constantly fighting for the very survival, so having people around who aren’t busy with procreating all the time is actually the most likely route to developing genuine sapience.

Probably just a wild boar.

Nah, a scythe is not tedious. I mean, if you consider it a chore, sure, then it is. Everything is.

But once you got a proper rhythm and a smooth motion, it’s really a relaxing, meditative thing. Also great workout: https://youtube.com/watch?v=OeMxwt6MC3Y

Beats sitting on a screaming hell machine by a long stretch.

But here you’d also want to get a handmade fitted one, not the one from home depot. In Central Europe that’s not too hard, don’t know about US for example.

Manual lawnmowers only work for lawn though, anything high and/or weedy they can’t do.
