fr dude i saw the same thing and it was so obviously ai slop

Doubt it matters that much honestly. A lot of professional bakers use regular tap water and their starters turn out fine.

Wait, so if a show like Attack on Titan changes its intro visuals to match where the story is at, are you really supposed to track every small change across 87 episodes just to catch a clue? That feels like homework, not watching for fun. How do you even tell which changes matter and which are just showing off animation?

My granddad never washed his cast iron skillet, just kept cooking in it and said the flavor was in the seasoning.

Google actually came out and said fresh content doesn't automatically get a boost. They care more about relevance and usefulness than the publish date. A link post from 2021 with solid info can still beat a newer shallow post in their algorithm. On my own site I had an old how-to guide from 2018 that kept dropping. Instead of rewriting it, I just updated a few stats and fixed some formatting. It jumped back to page one within two weeks. The date change helped but the real fix was making the content better. Refreshing old posts works because you're improving what's already proven. New content is a gamble every time.
