Either this ends up in the landfill or we exercise our brains some.

Step 1- Complain about something you deal with IRL, any pain point, serious or silly. First thing that comes to mind.
Step 2- Other people quote the problem and think of a product/solution they can sell to the other person.

Rule#1: If it works it ain't stupid! The point is to think outside the box. People are allowed to take someone's answer and improve it.
Rule#2: DBAB (Don't be a dick)


I start.

Problem: Only child. Miles away from mom. She can't do basic things on the computer like downloading her phone photos, because "OmG Idk HoW tO dO IT, i'M gOnNa BReAK soMetHiNG ". Walking her through it on a call is a torture and she prefers to wait one year or more until I visit for me to do it for her instead of learning (I've written the steps down and she still won't do it). She keeps running out of space and deleting things while she waits for me to visit.

I'm legit willing to pay $$ for someone to solve this nuisance for me.
