Your Ladder, Your Tower
There you loom, at the top of your golden ladder, ripe with the sense of your own importance. The corpo-rot seems to have chewed away at your frontal lobe, or at least your optic nerve– because you can’t SEE what’s really happening here on the ground. You unleash the storm of bureaucracy because it’s all…

We should pay people to watch ads as a form of universal basic income
I was thinking that if companies are already willing to pay millions to show us ads, why not cut out the middleman and just pay us directly to watch them, it could be a weird way to redistribute some of that ad revenue to people who need it. It sounds crazy but it could be…
Weird lace thing came with clothing bundle
It has three long pieces, all sewn shut. One is sewn at the top as well. There is only ONE hole. Not an in and an out hole. Just ONE. Like a hat. I have no idea what this is. There is a tag that just says S. submitted by /u/AccomplishedMajor611 [link] [comments]

At what point does scaling an ecommerce store actually become worth it – or are most of us just burning money chasing growth?
Been running a small ecommerce store for about two years now. Profitable, not life-changing money, but consistent. And lately I keep getting pulled in different directions by advice that seems to assume I’m further along than I am. “You need to expand to new markets.” Okay, which ones and why now? “Paid ads are the…

I was struggling to make my characters feel real, so I started asking them this:
I kept running into the same issue over and over again—my characters had a role in the plot, but they didn’t feel like real people. They reacted how I needed them to react, said what I needed them to say… but they didn’t surprise me. So I stopped focusing on plot for a second and…

Found this heavy wire-wheeled metal thing underwater—any guesses? Found while doing underwater trash cleanup.
While doing a river cleanup in the Guadalupe River near canyon lake Texas (where I removed 42 bags of trash!), I came across this unusual heavy wire-wheeled item. For scale, I laid out 26 pairs of sunglasses around it. I have no idea what it is—anyone recognize it or know what it might have…
Every founder wants an app. Nobody wants to talk about day 2.
Every founder I talk to wants an app. Nobody wants to talk about what happens after you build it. Thats why most apps die. Not because the code was bad. Because nobody thought about what the user does on day 2. You launch. You get some downloads. Then what. Who sends the first notification. What…

Is it just me or is EVERYONE starting a business in 2026?
I feel like something shifted recently.

What is an Internet Cleanup Company, and do they operate as a SaaS business?
Internet cleanup companies help people and businesses remove harmful, false, or damaging content from the internet things like fake news, revenge content, or threatening posts made to blackmail or go viral for someone’s personal gain.

March (if possible) — a stream of consciousness from class
This is part of a longer piece I’ve been writing. Not sure if it’s a diary, a story, or something in between.

The Garden Itself
It’s easy to describe someone as something simple— a rose in a garden, something that stands out just enough to be noticed. But sometimes that comparison doesn’t quite hold. Because there are people who aren’t just one thing. They are the whole of it— the space itself, the quiet collection of everything that makes it…

Simple service business idea: “digital cleanup” for overwhelmed local businesses
I’ve been thinking about a very unsexy business idea, but maybe that’s exactly why it could work. A lot of small local businesses have a mess of digital stuff they never fully cleaned up: outdated Google Business info, broken website pages, old menu PDFs, wrong hours on random directories, duplicate listings, dead social links, terrible…

Verified penis size on Grindr
With the current technology, this shouldn’t be too difficult to do. People already put their dick pics on the app, so it’s not like they’d be overly concerned with privacy. And to not disadvantage people with smaller numbers too much, they could disable filtering based on penis size, much like how they disable filtering based…
Honest opinion please
I’m working on a snack brand idea and want your honest feedback. The idea: simple nut & date bars with very few kitchen known ingredients — no additives, no hidden stuff.

Advice on how to start writing my story
I have this crazy narrative captivating my mind nearly every waking moment. i originally wanted to put it into a graphic novel format, since I fancy myself a novice artist, but I think my story would best translate into writing (novella, perhaps?).
