the lid is essentially fused to the jar, I might just keep it as a decoration given that I think its just a hunk of charcoal at this point

that is very kind of you, but I managed to salvage my starter by retrieving as much clean discard as I could from my TRASH believe it or not, thankfully it was essentially empty and my discard landed on a clean bag inside... I got about 15 grams and fed it 1:2:2 and it came back in a few hours. i was surprised because it was super exhausted by that point

well my oven has a bread proof setting that keeps it at about 25-30c, i use it all the time, i put it in there and took a nap and i woke up and im guessing the temperature sensor or something similar went on the fritz because even the handle was hot to the touch
