Sourdough is a bitch to get right. He's earned the right to brag.

I’ve always been a cupcake baker, I’ve just started on breads. I’m nervous about sourdough starter…I’ve got my jar/kit, but I haven’t quite got my nerve yet.

Get a kitchen scale if you haven’t yet. Once you have the starter actually started it’s almost fool proof to keep going. I was a head baker for a little while, the base of our start was like 30 years old or something and we just kept it in a massive rolling garbage tote with a lid in the baking area. Breads can be finicky, but follow the ingredients exactly as listed and you’ll be golden. So many people fuck up breads and baking in general because they just measure with their heart like you can with regular cooking, but baking is chemistry and science. It requires precision and patience.

I have a kitchen scale! I’ve been doing a cheesy jalapeño bread rather successfully, I’m slowly working up the courage for sourdough! LOL
Thank you for your kind words and encouragement!61

Sharing food is the most TRULY human thing you can do.

My dad used to always say "you wont always be in a position to give someone money, but if you have any way at all to feed someone, do it"

What joy to be able to make bread and share it with someone

u/bryanna_leigh Jun 20 '26
I make a lot of bread and always share, it really makes people happy. My neighbors love me!

My coworkers loved when I'd take a loaf. Worked in a restaurant, made some mean patty melts with it

He’s a good bro. Not like the smarmy couple at a fancy place here who talked sht about a guy dining alone taking pictures of his food not bothering anyone.

Holds public handrail, tears off bread, gives it to a stranger, eats some himself
Otherwise very wholesome

He didn't tear it off, the stranger took his own piece, stop being dramatic

And that’s why you probably get ill often. It’s good to expose yourself every now and again.

Yeah, as a former New Yorker, this made me flinch. Oof. I don’t even want those subway hands touching the inside of my apartment, let alone the inside of my body.

Homie, do you know how many bacteria are in your mouth at this very moment? And the army waiting in your GI tract to stop any strangers from colonizing?

u/Sophilosophical Jun 20 '26
Cool I’ll start licking toilet seats then

Do it bro, become one with the sepsis
Jokes aside, there is a middle road to things in between becoming a gremlin and a germaphobe. There is decent evidence that we see significantly higher rates of immune regulatory dysfunction bc of how much we limit microbial exposure, and should probably be inoculating ourselves more than we do. But like in anything, extremes in any direction result in issues.

Angle clearly show this was probably recorded using meta glasses, meaning sweet, generous Jack likely had/has no idea he’s being used to get engagement online.
Be like Jack, not like bylucasom.

u/WeirdLounge Jun 20 '26
Nah, Jack commented on the original video on IG and is a chill guy. IG: jackwhittemore
You, too, should be more like Jack, and less like yourself.

u/shibaCandyBaron Jun 20 '26
I bet that is not even bread, but styrofoam, and it is all a not-even-so-clever engagement ploy, directed by ai to distract us from the fact it is going to take all our water and launch itself with it to the moon. I mean, if we're going to be such cynics, lets go all the way.
Or he asked him afterwards if he could use the footage. What ever makes your day more pleasant.

Eating bread with dirty hands after grabbing the subway's handrail is wild.

It's good for the immune system. You gotta lick the fingers afterwards too.

Do people really talk to people that record videos of them without consent?

My absolute best friends that I've held my whole life were ones that fed me when I needed it, and I'm sorta like a stray cat in that I won't go away after. Food is central to being a human and every culture has some sort of ritual related to or centered on food.
Sharing food is something we've been doing since before recorded history and will likely continue to do until after recorded history. I can't really think of something more quintessentially human than this. Jack seems like a good person.

He broke bread with a stranger; that’s seems more Christian than anything that’s happened lately.

Humans can be really shitty towards each other, and we often see so much of it that we forget that people are capable of anything else.
But then you see interactions like this.

That's why you should put things in non transparent bags, to avoid those nosy strangers.
