@fairiehaze nobody stop you to make books in dark theme… just do it.

@alexoakdev dang. the coding limit was break and now everyone can make their crazy idea become a reality. very creative.

Someone built a fitness app using the same psychological mechanics as gambling
This might work better than every normal fitness app 😭😭
You bet money on whether you’ll hit 10,000 steps today
If you fail, you lose your money
If you succeed, you split the money from everyone who didn’t
So disciplined people literally profit off lazy people
Most fitness apps try motivating you with streaks and notifications
This one motivates you with financial fear
Imagine realizing at 11:52pm you still need 1,700 more steps or you lose $30
Entire friend groups would be outside walking laps around their neighborhood before midnight trying not to lose their steppa challenge
It sounds stupid but this would probably motivate people better than any other fitness product
Would you use this yourself?

@om_patel5 oh shiet. this is a legit a idea. make it a monthly battle, 30-50 participants, every day or couple days the one with the least territory will be ruled out. etc.
English

THIS GUY VIBE CODED A RUNNING APP WITH CLAUDE CODE IN A WEEKEND THAT TURNS YOUR CITY INTO A BATTLEFIELD
he wanted a reason to go outside so he built an app where you claim real territory on a map just by running through it
every street you run on becomes yours. your neighborhood turns into your turf, but other runners can take it from you by running the same streets
imagine runners waking up at 4am just to claim their blocks before anyone else does
the territory mechanic is what makes this different from every other running tracker because it gives you a reason to care about your next run, not just the one you just finished
if this idea is executed and marketed correctly it'll blow up on the app store
most fitness apps try to motivate you with stats and streaks, but this one actually motivates you with competition over real streets in your actual city
vibe coded in a weekend by a guy who doesn't even know how to code

A 40-year-old patent has finally been brought to life.
That's the Y-zipper.
A 3D-printed three-sided fastener that transitions any object from flexible to rigid and back again.
The robotics application is the one that caught my attention.
A quadruped robot that adjusts its leg stiffness depending on terrain, switching between rigid and flexible in real time without additional motors or complex mechanical systems.
But this goes way beyond robotics. A wrist cast that loosens during the day and stiffens at night. A tent that pops into shape in 90 seconds instead of six minutes.
The idea sat in a patent filing for four decades. It took 3D printing to finally make it real.

Video from the Austrian pavilion at the Venice Biennale:
Artist Florentina Holzinger hangs upside down inside a giant bronze bell. She swings back and forth and literally “rings” the bell with her own body.
This is part of a large-scale installation about the climate apocalypse. The bell with a person inside symbolizes a warning about the coming flood.
The Biennale officially opens on May 9, 2026, but the performance has already begun.

@grilledmfcheeze @Fxhedgers small business owners live in their storefront or what?
English

@Fxhedgers Super low chance that the 33% of Florida residents who rent and the many small business owners who have been struggling with inflation will vote to subsidize homeowners, particularly the ultra-wealthy who stand to benefit the most from this.

GOVERNOR RON DESANTIS MOVES TO OFFICIALLY END PROPERTY TAXES IN FLORIDA
The idea of eliminating property taxes in Florida has been getting attention, fueled by comments from Governor Ron DeSantis and ongoing conversations among state lawmakers. The proposal would drop property taxes for primary residences while keeping taxes in place on investment and commercial properties, DeSantis said in a recent press conference.

@Breaking911 How TD Bank provided an 11B company a commitment letter for 20B to buy a company four times its size is quite insane.
English

GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen has made an unsolicited $56 billion offer to acquire eBay, proposing $125 per share in a bid to build a major e-commerce rival. The proposal includes a 20% premium, a 5% equity stake, and $20 billion in secured financing, targeting a company roughly four times GameStop’s size.


English

@Houseofyogi Yeah, IDGAF, and I don't like Fakeahontas either. No more bailouts. Sink or swim on your own. That goes for everyone, businesses, governments or people. Its not our governments job to bail out failures.

Spirit Airlines died tonight at the hands of the socialist crusader, Elizabeth Warren
She must be so proud to add another casket to her achievements.
Tonight at 3am, Spirit turns off the lights. 14,000 jobs gone. 30+ smaller airports lose service.
JetBlue offered $3.8 BILLION in cash to buy Spirit in 2022. Shareholders, flight attendants union, literally everyone voted yes.
The combined company would have held 9% of the US market against a Big 4 that already owned 80%.
For anyone who understands numbers: 9% isn’t a monopoly against 80%.
Warren said no.
She wrote letters. She pressured Buttigieg. Biden’s DOJ sued. A federal judge killed the deal in January 2024.
Her argument: the merger would cost consumers $1 billion a year.
Now look at her collateral damage she dusts under the rug.
510 pilots gone in the months after. 1,800 flight attendants furloughed in December.
14,000 jobs in 2023. 7,500 last week. Zero tonight.
And that’s just the people in Spirit uniforms.
Catering goes. Fuel guys go. Baggage crews, gate agents, airport coffee shops, hotels and rental cars in 70 cities Spirit flew to. Every airline job carries 3 more on its back.
40,000 people out of work because of one woman’s moronic crusade against the market.
And the math ain’t mathing.
Spirit abandoned 90 routes during the death spiral. Fares on those routes are up 14% on average. Oakland to Newark: $135 to $288. Fort Myers to San Juan: $92 to $219. Kansas City to Newark up 66%.
That’s reality. Not some BS number from a “study.”
So @SenWarren tell me how this saves the consumer money?
Cheap carriers in a market drop fares 21% across the board. Southwest did this in the 90s and saved Americans $68 BILLION over 20 years.
Warren killed it. That’s what moronic politicians led by socialism do.
Then with her own blind arrogance, she tweeted Spirit’s collapse is “a Biden win for flyers.”
A win.
14,000 people are reading termination letters tonight.
And she’s taking credit.
This is socialism in 2026.
A senator who’s never made payroll thinks she knows how to run a market better than the people who own and work in the company.
She saved you a billion on imaginary paper.
She cost you ten times that in real life.
She didn’t protect consumers from anything.
14,000+ will go from working to welfare.
She will make sure to blame billionaires, hardworking tax payers, AI, capitalism and whatever monster they will make up tomorrow hiding under your bed.
Higher taxes. Fewer jobs. More expensive everything.
She called it a win. I hope you enjoy winning.
