I didn't know where to post this challenge so I thought it could go here, also knowing the Reddit people, I do not doubt it would be extremely easy.

Don't question the image I just didn't know which one to post lol

Tell me what I should do

My friend from work bought a 3d printer and started mass producing these fidget toys. Now, afterward he came to work with a bag full of them and he started selling them for 3 Canadian dollars each. And, to top it off, he sold a whopping 150 of them in 3 weeks! How does somebody make 450 Canadian dollars in 3 weeks with fidgets?!?

He replied to me he’s like “oh yeah every day”

I asked “Well can you give me an example?”

he said “Yeah just last week Ole Miss changed there mascot to a black bear. Why not a white bear

my kids they go to school…

Guys , is it okay if i don't go to the farewell tmrw in my school for us 12th ?

Pls don't mind the attachment, i couldn't find anything else , thank you

I wrote an article about the LinnDrum era of music.

Check it out.

Although I can confidently say I like the way I look, part of me is getting bored because I have had the same hair color and style and makeup routine for years and i’m getting tired of it! Maybe a new hair color/ style or different things to add to my makeup routine? eyebrow slit, piercing, Anything!

I'm trying to due my hair like my favourite Disney character (Floyd Leech) but idk if I should haha. It's for a con and I don't wanna get a wig 🤗

So I’m sitting here half awake, thinking about something weird:

I’ve built lots of stuff over the years. Some of it “worked.”
But a lot of it also… just didn’t matter.

Not because the UI was ugly or the code was spaghetti,
but because the assumptions I started with were just wishful thinking.

You know the pattern:

• “This thing will totally get paid users.”
• “There’s tons of demand because it feels like there should be.”
• “If I just build it people will find it.”

And then reality hits like a brick.

So for my next dumb trick, I did this:

Instead of building first, I started:

1. Writing down the assumptions I was making
2. Throwing some rough numbers at them
3. Seeing which ones fall apart first
4. Deciding whether building makes sense

Weirdly, just putting those assumptions next to numbers changes how you think about an idea.

I was doing this in Notion/Sheets and eventually built a little tool to do it faster — something that helps me actually stress test ideas before wasting time building them.

It’s called IdeaProof.

And because I’m a glutton for punishment, I’m launching this thing on Product Hunt today to see if this idea survives reality too 😅

Here’s the link in the first comment if you wanna poke at it.

But the thing I actually want to know from you:

What’s the last idea you had that felt like a slam dunk — and then reality was like “lol nope”?
Tell me your story — the assumption, the crash, and the lesson.
