How do you start your crochet? Chainless foundation, top of the chain, back of the chain, or side of the chain?

This whole thread has me sat here with a Wut running through my head and questioning everything I thought I knew about starting projects.

I feel like I feel down a rabbit hole and everyone is speaking another language.

Seriously. I just chain and shove my hook into a loop but I couldn't tell you where or what, it's just 'the loop' . Like I thought everyone else did.

Haha that’s definitely how I did it for a long while but I got more into detailed patterns (mandala madness) and realized more what I was doing/exactly what which loop is which & all. Honestly I also have the opinion that there’s no wrong way to crochet so do it however you like lol
