The Low End
So we’re back. You’re listening to The Low End, I’m your host, and sitting across from me doing that thing with her fantastic ears where she pretends she’s not judging me is my cohost Syl, who is, as always, perfect and elven and wrong about almost everything. I have never once been wrong. You’ve never…
Drowning in Air
The call came around 1:47. Mika’s voice on the other end already wrong. Already somewhere past language and into the country of sound alone. Laughing and then stopping and then laughing again, and none of it had anything to do with joy. “Get your shoes on, Shay,” I said. Shay looked at me from the…
Waiting 20 minutes for your order at a fast food restaurant is the modern, dystopian equivalent of a vintage car hop joint.

It would look much cooler if when someone was biracial instead of being a blend of both their parents they were literally half and half split down the middle, after a few generations you could end up with babies being born with just one black leg or something.

Up and down Up and down Right until I drown Up the sky A quiet sigh Do you want to see me cry? From fantasy to quiet despair All these pieces now left to repair Soul-wrenching, gut-clenching Blind to my own heart breaking In a sea of people, yet I’m still alone No one to…

Thoughts on the beginning draft of my surrealist story
There are those that spin in circles. Endlessly. For who? And for why? It doesn’t matter as long as they keep spotting and never fall. And fall they never do. Like a malfunctioning ring of fire, a great mechanical beast of flesh and bone and muscle. They don’t look sick or tired, more-so as if…
A Modern Haunting

Mountain roads are probably the only place where not wearing a seatbelt can feel safer than wearing one, because you could get out of the car quicker if it goes off a cliff.

I make around $6K–$8K a month selling websites, besides my 9 to 5 job.
I used to think the best way to get clients for a web agency was paid ads or referrals. But honestly the thing that worked best for me was targeting businesses with outdated websites. Like you go on their site and instantly see problems. Bad mobile design, slow loading, old branding, weird layouts, no clear…
the irony of drugs

Poison AI surveillance by using flagged words for normal things
Like instead of using codewords for illegal things, use codewords that are known to get you flagged for dumb ass everyday things. Like instead of “is dinner ready?” you could say “are you done cooking the meth?”. Instead of can you go to the store to get eggs say “Did you get the 50lbs of…
E Bike trailers and accessories
Cheap Ebikes are getting big, especially urban areas, and I was thinking about all the mods and aftermarket potential. One idea was small cargo trailers. I know they exist for bikes but theyre usually pretty barebones or meant for pulling pets around, or very expensive. It would be made for ebikes specifically, and take advantage…
I’m a Friend
And Lover to Ghosts. After midnight visits, haunting my dreams. Making me late for work & forever fatigued. Burying them didn’t help. Praying only made them stronger. They refuse to accept the loss and move on & I just have no heart to lose them, just yet. Halfway thru a century I’ve learned nothing, no…
A “Basic” Car Brand selling for $9,999
Totally stripped-down (as far as current law allows) Manual transmission, hatchback, no radio or sound system, basic sensors etc. Like, a 1985 Toyota Tercel. Call the brand “GO” and sell for under 10k. submitted by /u/cartoonybear [link] [comments]

Listing of multiple slabbed coins on EBay from a single picture

Help with word choice…
I’ve read the rules but this may still not be the right place to post this inquiry. I’m writing a new piece and I’m needing some help on word choice, I guess you could say. Without getting into specific detail to hopefully stick with the rules, in my piece I’m trying to describe this sort…

Shall I ever know a love so true as Romeo and Juliet, sworn to the moon? If so, shall it be a fearless knight? Or a daring lady of the night? Men, I have been told, may hold my gaze but men, yet again, still cause my pain shall I then love the source of…

Vertically mounted model train sets
Ive always wanted a model train layout but I live in the city and the main issue is space. I thought it would be interesting to develop a model train set that can be mounted vertically to a wall. Very small scale, the size if a large poster. It would be a complete kit with…
My friend is building a candle startup and I’m weirdly fascinated by the psychology behind it.
Nobody needs artisanal candles. But somehow people still spend stupid amounts on them. And honestly… I kinda get it now. Feels less like buying wax and more like buying: a vibe, a personality trait, a Pinterest apartment, a “my life is together” starter pack. If you were growing a brand like this today, what would…

Countryside business, is it worth it?
I recently moved to the countryside,n one thing I’ve noticed is the steady flow of tourists coming in for hiking,lakeside views,n weekend getaways. It’s not overly commercialized yet,but there’s definitely movement especially during peak seasons,we always look forward to their arrivals. That got me thinking about possible business ideas. My sister pointed something out that…

Landlord karma should be public and out of their control. Just like our rental history.
We have credit scores, rental histories and eviction reports that travel with us from state to state for many years. They can run our background information even before signing an agreement and there isn’t much we can do about whatever is in there. But a landlord can drag their feet for months to address any…

We always laugh at TV shows where someone who isn’t human (Magic creature, Robot, Alien etc.) impersonates a human and does a bad job. We wonder why people don’t immediately see through their disguise. But then you remember all the weird people we went to school with.
