I wonder how many different ideas fit in under 300 characters. That number is finite.

"What would you do if you suddenly wake up in the stone age?"

I feel like the further we go, the less applicable knowledge the average member of society could contribute in this situation, as the trend is for people to get further removed from the innovations that enabled it in the first place.

Scrum is dead.

We just shipped a robust email sequence feature in two weeks, that would have previously taken multiple months to build.

Question for the linguists: do the vast majority of question words always start with the same letter in every language? Why is that the case for so many languages?

A friend of mine discovered the best playlist on Spotify. You can construct it by periodically merging SHM's Don't You Worry Child's song radio into itself for an endless supply of certified bangers

It would be a really interesting application for social media data to do a study on which ideas independently arise most often across entirely unconnected communities.

Someone most likely has had the same idea, and so the point of the study would be precisely to figure out who, where, when and why
