Took me three weeks to realize my kimchi wasn't bubbling because my apartment in Chicago stays too cold in winter.
I finally moved the jar on top of the fridge near the back vent and got a good ferment going in just four days, so has anyone else had to find a weird warm spot in a cold house?

Oh man, my buddy had the same problem. He ended up putting his sourdough starter on the cable box because it was the only warm spot in his whole drafty old place. Worked like a charm.

That's such a classic human fix. People are always finding weird little heat sources to make stuff work, like routers or fridge tops. It shows how we adapt our tech-filled homes for basic living things. We buy all these gadgets but end up using them for things they were never meant to do. The cable box wasn't made to grow bread, but it gets the job done. It's a funny kind of modern problem solving.
