    It’s funny when this kind of thing happens. I built an app that was basically tindr for a project in college, several years before tindr started. Guess I should have release it

      Wow! Something similar for me: in 2007 I built a website that had the same functionality as Hungry House. Basically a place where take-away restaurants could put their menus up and take orders. It didn’t take off and it only cost me a couple of month’s of work. Then Hungry House, Uber Eats etc came along a decade later and nailed it.

    And no upvotes, because it’s obviously a stupid, unworkable idea.

    What are your new predictions, oh time wizard?

    Can we add to this free broadband wifi in all populated parts of the world?

    I suspect with about a billion dollars (and but for the local state-enforced stakeholder protections in some areas) we could actually do this.

    …And only your own upvote. Reddit, you disappoint me more often than not. Welcome aboard!

    Dude, if I’d seen your comment 11 years ago, I would’ve thought that would be nonsense…

    You were kind of a visionary.

    (kind of, because decentralized social networks existed since then, but still).
