Utilizing senses in description: what if you’re missing one (or more)?
I shared a rough draft of a story I’m working on with a friend, and he made the observation that I hadn’t used smell to describe anything. I’m anosmic, so it’s just not a go-to descriptor for me. It did get me thinking though. I would like to use smell as a descriptive element, but…
How can I monetize my sub forum?
I currently have an Ai and business based sub forum called aisolobusinesses on Reddit. I have built myself up to 5k followers and 8.8k visitors per week. I feel like I’m starting to make some good traction, but my biggest question coming up is going to be how to monetize. I have thought about doing…
Built an AI tool to spot fall risks in parents’ homes – looking for 10 volunteers to test
I built a simple tool called Safe in Place that walks you through a home safety check for an aging parent (or yourself) and then generates a room‑by‑room report with suggested fixes and ballpark costs. I’m looking for 10 people to test it this week and tell me: – Was it easy to use? –…
With no side mirrors on a car it feels like something is missing, but if you focus on side mirrors a little longer, they feel like something extra.

Metal figurine of cat on a book hunting a ball. Fits on the palm of your hand, surprisingly heavy due to rock base. Strange, unidentifiable text on either side of book.
I’m primarily curious about what the text could mean. There’s writing on both sides of the book, but I don’t know what language it is (and Google Translate couldn’t figure it out). Found in my uncle’s collection of knick knacks, he got it from his father (or grandfather), so it’s pretty old (at least 30…

Proof that not giving up is how you succeed (21M)
At first I started with SMMA 3.5 years ago when Iman Gadzhi was viral with his puppet master BS. I had no experience, not to mention a uni degree in marketing or anything like that, so I just started doing free work. Lost some clients, slept badly, constantly stressed and ashamed. I kept telling myself…

Every time, I think it’s you.
Two months later, I still feel the weight of your absence at my side every time I brush my teeth. Two whole months of crying at 3AM to memories of your embrace, your voice, your snore. Two months of leaving my phone on the nightstand and chasing away the butterflies every time I think it’s…

The Dream I Could Touch
I long for a dream, but not the distant, unreachable kind, not the kind you only live inside your imagination. I want a dream that resembles reality, one that can be touched, one that can breathe in the real world. A dream not too near, not too far, something like you. Because I had always…

The Delay
He didn’t forget. He postponed. There’s a difference . When the message arrived — “Did you see the mistake in the report?” — he had already seen it. Hours earlier. It wasn’t catastrophic. Just a small numerical oversight. The kind that could be corrected in seconds. He closed the file. He told himself he would…

Mixing match-3 with falling obstacles. Does this mechanic make sense?
I’m experimenting with a hybrid concept: • Match-3 board at the bottom • Blocks or ice pieces (with HP numbers) falling from top • Boosters trigger explosions to prevent collision The idea is survival + combo strategy.
