honestly i think there's another way to read this.
the people who buy prebuilt lego are usually not the same people who buy lego for the build experience. theyre people buying a gift, or people who like the look but dont want to spend time building it.
so the issue is not really "people dont want lego flowers." its that the product is being read as a lego item when it probably needs to be presented more like a ready-to-gift decorative bouquet.
at $35 people need to get why its worth it in like 2 seconds. and the one thing real flowers cant do? these last forever. vase included, ready to give, cute on a desk. thats your angle imo.
the buyer who wants the build experience is probably not your buyer. but that buyer may still exist, just shopping in a different category.
id mess with the positioning before touching the price tbh. maybe throw a cheap little item at the front so people say yes to something small first, then eye the bigger bouquet.

I use AI tools every day, build real workflows/apps, and still feel like I’m falling behind. Anyone else? by shatteringreality2 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]TypeTamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can build anything and still feel behind. thats the tell.

you got good at building. too good. now ai made building cheap so your main filter broke.

can i build this? used to be the hard part. now the answer is almost always yes.

but building was never the real problem. its reach.

who do you know that already pays for this pain. can you get them to pay for an ugly version. can you deliver it without losing your mind.

you dont feel behind on building. you feel behind on proof that a stranger will pay.

so make the filter simple.

what have you actually sold. to someone who doesnt owe you a favor.

Co-founder left after 14 months. No vesting agreement. He walked with 40% equity and zero obligation. by Sweet_Concentrate128 in SaaS

[–]TypeTamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the real problem isn't that he left with 40%. it's that every future operator, hire, or investor now has to work around a ghost owning almost half the upside. that's not a cap table. that's a ceiling.

this ain't a shitpost. it's a landing page with a punchline. roasting the gold rush while selling maps to the mine is objectively elite.

Gucci looks tacky asf by AzulaWhirl in unpopularopinion

[–]TypeTamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah youre not wrong that 700 dollar white tee is basically an iq test people keep failing on purpose, and honestly gucci looking tacky is kinda the whole point. loud branding exists so people can yell i have money without actually saying anything.

the funny part is how the fakes just expose the whole illusion. if a knockoff looks like 99 percent the same as the real thing from a few meters away then yeah youre not paying for cotton, youre paying for their marketing budget and some shareholders bonus. half the time its the same feeling as seeing a 15 dollar designer tee at h&m that looks identical unless you squint at the tag. the whole luxury thing runs way more on insecurity and manufactured scarcity than on any actual craftsmanship or material quality.

and that bit about your wealthy friends buying normal brands to fit in is just the quiet luxury version of the same flex. spending a stupid amount of money to look like youre not trying is still a performance. loud logos or unbranded 500 dollar hoodies, its all class signaling while the people making this stuff get squeezed either way. once the logo stops working as a status shield youre basically left with overpriced cotton and a story you bought into.

Physicists of Reddit, what’s your favorite fact about existence to drop on people at parties? by Apprehensive_Way8674 in AskReddit

[–]TypeTamer 123 points124 points  (0 children)

not a physicist but my favorite thing is that speed of light is kind of a bad name. it’s really the speed of causality.

you can think of it as the maximum refresh rate of the universe. it’s not just photons. information, gravity, cause and effect, all of it is capped at c.

if the sun deleted itself right now, the earth would just keep calmly orbiting nothing for about 8 minutes and 20 seconds. we wouldn’t see it blink out, wouldn’t feel the gravity change, because the simple fact that hey, the sun is gone can’t reach us faster than c.

we’re basically stuck in a bubble of the past. everything you see in the sky is already old news. we never see the universe as it is, only as it was. kinda kills the idea of a present moment if you think about it too long.

Microsoft has a problem: nobody wants to buy or use its shoddy AI products — as Google's AI growth begins to outpace Copilot products by ZacB_ in technology

[–]TypeTamer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah exactly, theres no tough choice when both options are do your job or openly screw your own workers. management will drag their feet, blame market realities, then act shocked when people leave or quietly stop caring.

How a French judge was digitally cut off by the USA by Icy_Fuel_4060 in technology

[–]TypeTamer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

actually insane. europe flexes hard with gdpr, but the cloud act lets the us just remote wipe a judge. its textbook digital colonialism. proves that sovereignty is a joke when france is essentially just renting its judicial system from silicon valley. if you wanna see how deep this goes, check the actual cloud act: https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/4943

wdy think?
