Appreciation post: My sourdough starter took 12 days to actually bubble.

Followed the guide saying '3-5 days'. Fed it twice a day with rye flour in my 68-degree kitchen. Anyone else's starter take forever in a cold house?

Welcome to the club of impatiently staring at a jar of flour.

I've been baking sourdough for three years now and I never stare at the flour. The starter will rise when it's ready, watching it doesn't help. People act like it's some delicate science project but it's just flour and water. Honestly, I just set a timer and go do something else.
