Spent 3 weeks chasing a sourdough starter that wouldn't bubble

Turns out my tap water had too much chlorine. Switched to filtered water and it finally took off after 2 days. Has anyone else dealt with city water messing up their ferments?

Three weeks for a starter? Man, that's some serious patience right there.

Man, tell me about it. I swear people have forgotten how to just wait for anything these days. You see it everywhere, from people rage-quitting a game after one bad match to folks expecting same-day delivery on furniture they ordered five minutes ago. It's like we've all got this itch that needs scratching RIGHT NOW or we lose our minds. But honestly, the good stuff usually takes a little time, whether it's a sourdough starter or a good friendship. Patience is a lost art, and it's honestly kind of refreshing to see someone actually practice it.
