If the change is distinguishable AND is worse, resolves NO
If the change is distinguishable AND is better, resolves YES
If the change is not distinguishable AND does not greatly (25%?ish) reduce time or inputs, resolves NO
If the change is not distinguishable AND does greatly (25%?ish) reduce time or inputs, resolves YES
If I determine the change is too difficult (I have my own mill but sifting by hand could be maybe too tedious?, stuff like grow my own wheat), I am liable to resolve that option N/A
If I determine the change departs too far from the categories "bread" or "loaf of bread" (such as suggesting I make a bread bowl with split pea soupπ or a BLT π or cinnamon rolls π), resolves N/A
I will judge all changes on the criteria:
Crust, Crumb, Moisture, Taste
blinding or double blinding as needed, including tests to verify that the changes are distinguishable and not subject to order effects.
I may have others, as available, provide their input on these at a rate of 50% or less of my ratings for a weighted avg.
I will extend the overall market until some period x where noone's interested and I've iterated through the suggestions.

I never really disliked AI until this bot. It's worse than bad autocorrect.
1,000@traders I plan on resolving baste with oil, bake with best friend, the 3x yeast 3hr rise ones in the next 72 hrs.
@atmidnight I'm kinda really excited to see if the taste testers will be able to tell between the 10% max sawdust by vol and control.
Would you please clarify how I go about adding the sawdust. I've been doing this by weight, do you mean 10% max by volume of dry ingredients? Would appreciate your guidance on this!
@MarySmith is this some baking slang or is this about regular sawdust from cutting wood? Is that safe?
@AlexanderTheGreater saw dust has been used in bread for centuries as a filler when wheat got too expensive. it's non-nutritious but mostly harmless in small doses afaik. dont eat it raw and unmixed, ofc
@MaxA This is a true and accurate statement. I have only resolved ~70/~160. Thank you for your patience.
Make a poolish 12 h ahead: 100 g flour + 100 g water + 0.8 g yeast (0.1 %). After it ferments, use this poolish in place of 100 g flour and 100 g water in the final dough.
Most testers couldn't distinguish, crumb was a little less airy. Definitely on the margins.

Ditch all the steps. Just buy the bread from the supermarket
Taste testers got angry at me for feeding them two different supermarket loaves - 365 whole foods market Classic White & Bread Shed mini sourdough bread. They preferred the store bought sourdough to the classic white but preferred control homemade to either.
Resolved
NO
Add 50g honey
Used Manuka Honey, was distinguishable but not preferred!
Resolved
NO
Eat the bread while sending all your mana to @realDonaldTrump
Reduced my available mana to 11, sent it to this fellow, while eating the control bread and it did not improve the bread.
Resolved
NO
Replace flour with flowers

Resolve this option YES while eating the bread
Didn't improve bread, so reresolved NO
Resolved
YES, then NO
Toast the bread
Testers were mixed on this. Could have gone the other way if the sample was larger.
Resolved
YES
Think positive thoughts before tasting
Everyone reported no change :/ Maybe someone can suggest a better methodology for this?
Resolved
NO
Resolve this option NO while eating the bread
Didn't improve bread.

NO
Decompose it into infinite spheres, then a few parts per sphere, rotate the spheres by arccos(1/3), unite them and you will find 2 chilis (Banach-Tarski)
I don't know how to do this with physical objects in reality.

Drink vodka while eating the bread
I don't drink and my testers refused to do this.

@traders Im planning on resolving: Toast the bread, Add 50g honey today. Might do donate the bread , been talking with a bunch of homeless folks recently
Use King Arthur Bread Flour instead of All-Purpose
Thought this was a good bet. Some of the taste testers said this was "saltier" but "denser" and the crumb wasn't as good.
Resolved
NO
Place small ice cubes between parchment and pot instead of water
Scratching my head on this one, maybe it was just a fluke of variation in the conditions/control but the shape, rise, moisture, and crumb were all better. Weighed the icecubes beforehand to make sure the water was equivalent. Tasted equivalent. Interested in retesting to see if this still holds.
Resolved
YES
Use tap water instead of fancy RO water
Taste testers could not distinguish it reliably from control. Congrats to @bens and his intuition that the tap water doesn't suck so bad where I live to make a difference. If this was the tap water in Austin this probably would have failed!
Resolved
YES
Cleaned up some of the meaningless markets

@No_uh nailed it. Austin tap water was π± but the stuff here was indistinguishable for us, in the bread. What can I say π I lost M on that, the ice cubes, or both π
@BorisBartlog @hruss I will be starting up again soon, as I expressed in the prior message in these comments I have been doing 80-100 hr weeks for months for a training program for work away from home.
I am FINALLY done and excited to bake bread again.
@traders We've been ripped off by this market for too long. Nothing has resolved yes and everything that would actually improve the bread is resolving no. So now I am introducing Improve my Chili, where nothing is too nonsensical to be resolved. Join the revolution!!
@realDonaldTrump I encourage you to make alternatives and I appreciate that it sucks to have to wait on me to resolve the markets by baking the bread and taste-testing.
Joke markets like "Force feed the POTUS" or "Quadruple Salt" only serve to waste my time to N/A or increase the likelihood I am incarcerated if taken seriously.
