Can't believe I fell for it!

You people had me believing you could create sourdough starter just by mixing flour and water together. Took me 3 years of attempts to realize you were just messing with me. Only just dawned on me this morning that this just was an elaborate prank. You really committed to it, I'm impressed. You got all these people involved, posting fake pictures of living sourdough starters and "Sourdough" bread that you made with your "Sourdough" starters.

Frankly I think you guys let it go a bit far. It was probably funny for the first few weeks. All hanging out in your private discord laughing at the guy trying to make this fictional impossible "Sourdough" starter. But when you realized that I didn't get the joke, one of you really should have nudged me and let me in on it. 3 years....Its just not funny.

I wasted a lot of flour. And potable water. We don't have a lot of that, droughts are increasing worldwide. Some states and counties are surviving on finite Aquifers. Once its gone its gone. 50ml once a day isn't much but imagine if a few other gullible people fell for this. Before you know it, that's litres upon litres a day wasted.

I mean...Well played I guess. I'm sure you all had a good laugh at my expense....*Slow claps*
