Weird jar found in Goodwill. Amber glass reminiscent of 60s/70s. Thick base. Top appears to be made to hold something.

What’s an overused phrase you can’t stand in stories?
I listen to a podcast called Darkness Prevails, which is awesome, but I swear if I hear someone say their blood ran cold one more time, I’ll pull my hair out. The phrase never used to bother me until I started listening to that podcast, and his stories where just about every single story has…

I held your hand so you did not fall, and when you did, I picked you up, brushed off the dirt and told you everything would be ok. I dried your tears and took you to your favourite places. I did silly things to make you smile and lost countless nights sleep making sure you…
A new Foundation
We found him. Just sitting there. Like some glorious golden cup waiting for someone to claim it for themselves. Inscribed words of wisdom for the ages, there’s so much here we could use for inspiration. The world won’t ever be the same, revolutions in so many ways, this.. provokes thoughts I never even imagined I’d…

Looking for readers interested in my philosophical and introspective novel
Hi, I’m an indie author looking for a small number of readers interested in philosophical and introspective fiction. My novel explores memory, perception, identity, and the fragile boundary between inner experience and reality. I have digital copies available at no cost for anyone who thinks this might be their kind of book and would like…

I live in the heart of India’s cement cluster (Prism, UltraTech, MP Birla) Satna, MP India with a godown and lab contacts. What’s the move?
Hey guys, I’m from Satna, Madhya Pradesh. If you know the area, you know it’s basically the cement capital of the country (Prism, UltraTech, MP Birla, etc. are all right here). I’ve been looking at getting into the supply side. Coal is the obvious one, but the capital requirement is insane and the “old money”…

Neighbourhood Economist: I Track Inflation Using Chicken, Rent, and Bus Fares (NSFW, UK, unfortunately accurate)
Alright. I’m not chartered. I’m not clever on paper. I’m just some bloke with a receipt collection and a heart that keeps overdrafting. My “office” is the chicken shop queue — neon-lit, everyone tired, menu board changing faster than my landlord’s moral compass. Yesterday: wings and chips were £3.99. A flirtatious little number. Light on…

Evil owl
He found me, plain, planning an event to unfold through the century. A show to take the eyes in ways of enormous mysticism, an illusion that hallows out the soul defiling anything near me. Nothing sacred as we hold hands, a secret shake, a pact in subconscious dealings never made. When he leaves it seems…

Ignacio had only fallen in love one time before, but this time was different. He’d fallen in love with someone that he would most likely never be able to show his love to. The first time he was in love, she shared that same feeling. They briefly shared a child together until adoption became the…

Nestled in chaos I sit. Hailed with storms of faces lit with the mark of ambivalence. There, tempered in imported and exported trades, a quiet whisper. What would you give to be here with me? Stand exalted, the highest peaks overlooking your flocks. In talks of hushed tones speaking loud alerting them to heavens beyond.…

Pregnancy.

Nothing and all these things could prepare me for the quest…

Story Fatigue
Any one else feel this? I’ve been working on a short story, 8k words, for the last 4 months. Hammering out the timeline, the characters, formatting, etc. the more I work on it, the less I can tell about it. Concept makes sense, but I just can’t tell if it’s any good. I used to…
What happens when you make 4 LLMs debate each other instead of trusting one?

I got sick of the tab-switching game so I…

I work an office job. A customer gave this to me with the implication I’d use it a lot. It’s too big for paper, so maybe a pen or something? It’s gold, metal, very stiff, and resembles a paperclip, but larger.
