Go (not to) find the cheese guy. In the vast Northeast of Italy, where corn and pigs cast their tyrannical shadow over the plains and the mountains in equal measure, there is a saying as popular as obscure, since everyone knows what it means, but no one seems to understand how it actually means anything…
I’m considering offering a cross-border e-commerce service where I manage and operate online stores for other companies entering new markets. I know this isn’t a new idea, but I’m curious — does this still work in 2026, or is the market already too saturated? I am from EU, that is why cross-border I guess. submitted…
Hi! I noticed my friend, a law student, was spending nearly £20 a week on chain coffees before class ; that’s about £80 a month for a simple latte. Not only was she burning cash, she was wasting time queuing every morning. Now imagine instead: a coffee subscription for students. 12 coffees per month for…
Winter specs on evergreen. A glass angel dangling in the light. Your soul’s in that place, When you go I’ll sit in its shine. You’re just a call away, But wrinkles on your skin tell time. Your sister’s in the birds. I know where I’ll find your signs. ___ Gathered ‘round the table. Nan, you’ll…
Devils aren’t just made, There born from us humans, From our very words and actions, We think we’re just so much better, But there the one suffering and hurting, For us to pay no heed and just blame them, we’re the one who made them, We’re the one who gave them reason, So why can’t…
Have you ever asked ChatGPT or Claude to write an email or draft a document for you? Did you have to go through it after and remove all the telltale AI-sounding language? If you’re among the 6.887 billion people worldwide who have encountered this same hassle, well do I have great news for you! DeeAI…
…An unusual, low-frequency hum began resonating through the street; Silas tried to identify the note but could not quite place the dissonant sound growing in volume. Whilst he had been distracted with Jude, and now this strange noise, a silvery, undulating sphere, with the look of liquid mercury and an almost imperceptible chill to the…

Every idea I start writing to feels shit once I’m a paragraph in. In my early 20s I was a keen writer, always thinking and creating works in creative non-fiction. I lightly tried a blog, and always had an ambition to seriously publish my works and build a portfolio and career for myself. I was…

Hey runners / builders 👋 I’ve been running for a few years now, and during marathon prep I kept hitting the same thing: long runs can get really lonely—especially when you’re far from friends and family. At some point I thought: “I wish I could hear their voices around km 30, when everything starts falling…
It took me years to be brave enough to start my own business. I had months sketching my plans and on paper everything was ideal. I was convinced that there were customers since stationery is one of the things that people purchase on an ongoing basis. What I continued to notice, however, was that the…

bout. Storm clouds gather, threatening to flood a pot-holed journey home, my tears finding their rhythm in the jolts. An atomic thread of faith. The promise of hope, crystal. The pit of my stomach, tar. Chest heaving. World cracking. Lip quivering; Fight or flight. Body and Heart, boxers in a reluctant embrace, gloves touching once,…
Earlier this summer my friend told me he wanted to start a side hustle renting out mini jetskis at a small lake near our town. Not full-sized ones – mini ones. I remember staring at him thinking, “If people can rent real jetskis, why would anyone want the diet version?” To me it sounded like…

I have been working on a digital product idea on the side and recently had to pause after realizing I was moving too quickly into features without clearly defining the problem or target user. Background for context Available capital is around 1k to 2k for initial development Non technical background but familiar with product thinking…
Truth or dare? I’d take truth all over again. But truth is so boring, they say. Yes, it might be sometimes. But it’s way easier to just lie if I feel embarrassed about the truth. Despite the moral question when it’s about lying, which would be a different text to write. It’s way harder to…

Hello All, Seeking your feedback on an idea that has been developing over the past couple of months. I’m looking to create a platform that rewards job seekers for actively applying to roles. The concept is simple: users upload proof of their job applications and receive rewards such as vouchers, free coffees, and other incentives.…

Hi everyone, I’ve recently started a small car rental business, and I’m also involved in trading grains (buying from small traders/farmers and selling further). I’m facing a common but tricky problem: managing people on the ground. In my case: Drivers, office boys, labour — they are generally good by nature on the surface But I…
Looking back now, I think it was destiny that me and my wife had that argument. I won’t go too in depth, but I will say it wasn’t the first time I’d stormed out of the house in a rage. Ever since Mathew went missing, it was either solemn silence or violent outbursts between me…

It started with small things. Electronics would break a lot when he was around. I had to get my laptop fixed twice. My fridge went out once and I had to scramble to drive all the food to my parents’ house, so it didn’t go bad while I was getting it fixed. Arjun helped. My…

Hi, this is just a fun thought. Imagine an online service that gives you access to remotely navigate a submersible drone in some faraway ocean or large body of water. To be rented by the hour, like so many other experiences. Made Ven available through gaming devices to allow for a more social experience. Explore…

Grey box with loose line up against water line. Looks to be about the size of my hand, with cord hanging down looking to have an audio or power jack plug. There’s nothing above on the sink that it seemingly connects to. I’ve a suspicion there’s an electrical wire/connection loose somewhere as it feels like…
I keep on seeing this satisfying cleaning videos gaining more than 1M views.I’ve been thinking about doing something similar to generate leads for my cleaning business however I am not sure what % of that translates into leads….

Hook Two-step trouble when I walk in, babe, act all nice but I’m not that safe. Bass too loud, face all innocent, one bad move and I’m in some shit again. Two-step trouble, that’s my luck, sweet one minute, next minute “what?” Whole room watching when I cut that angle, came for a dance, now…

Love? I always screw it up. Moving fast—120 on the dash, but like a deer in headlights, I freeze at the thought of love getting close. All I hear is my fear screaming— leaves me broken, like my heart stopped beating. Without love, I’m lost in a forest, dark and eerie. My thoughts start running,…

The sun is sinking, pulled down— drenched in grief. I do not know the scent of red sand, nor the rage of dying smoke. I can only peer through this windowed door, only hope for your fractured smile. When will I see those flags of yours— the shield you always keep near? Why do you…

This one requires a team, hard that single person can execute it. There are many OnlyFans agencies who use chatters, vaults, need various tools to manage model’s account and so on. Of course keep it non-adult to be able to use Stripe, since this would be private model<->fan system and privately they can do whatever.…
An excerpt from my novel The Remarkable Sneezes of Eddie Wilson. Eddie was growing older. He had learned to tie knots in a thousand different ways. It had become an almost irresistible instinct: whenever he saw those shoelaces, he simply couldn’t stop himself from tying them together. It was probably just another way of trying…
