How to conquer Luck, Defeat misery and learn to fear cheese, from “Dr l- Coutinho’s Health, Survival and Lifestyle for the modern Mystic Guardian”
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…
Does Cross-Border E-Commerce Management could work in 2026?
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…
Coffee subscription idea
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…
Glass Angel
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…

AI to de-LLM its output

The Inadvertent Triumvirate
…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…

Building back the craft?
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…

I built an app that plays voice messages from your friends during your run (triggered by GPS)
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…
How I Began a Simple Warehouse Stationery Business and It Ended up being bigger than I ever expected.
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…

New here! Wanted to share a poem(?) piece(?) called ‘bout.’ I wrote a few years ago and came back to. Has some religious themes. Would love your feedback!
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,…
My friend’s Mini Jetski side hustle actually worked… Even though I thought it was ridiculous.
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…

Truth or dare?
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…

[Horror] I found my missing son after 20 years of searching
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…
