Hi Reddit! I'm working on a business idea and would love to get your feedback to see if it resonates with potential users.

Here’s a quick overview:

About Bunkli

Bunkli is a platform that aims to provide safe, affordable, and reliable rooms for rent. It’s designed with people in mind who are looking for budget-friendly accommodations without compromising on safety or quality. Our primary target audience includes young professionals, students, digital nomads, and people in transitional phases (like those relocating for work or school).

How It Works

We’re developing a subscription-based model where people looking for rooms can subscribe for premium access to exclusive listings, early access to new rooms, priority customer support, and more. This would allow users to browse, filter, and book rooms while being assured of verified hosts and a secure platform.

Key Features

Verified Listings: Only vetted and verified hosts to ensure a safe renting experience.

Affordable Options: Focus on budget-friendly rooms, especially in high-demand urban areas. User-Friendly Platform: Simple, modern design optimized for mobile use.

Additional Services: Future plans to include value-added services like roommate matching, moving assistance, and rental insurance.

What I Need Feedback On

Subscription Model: Do you think a subscription-based approach makes sense for room-seekers? Would you consider paying a small monthly fee for access to exclusive listings and additional support?

Safety and Reliability: Does the focus on verified hosts and safe listings stand out as a value point? Would this make you feel more comfortable using the platform?

Features: Are there any additional features or services you think would be valuable for a platform like this?

Overall Idea: Does this idea resonate with you, or do you think there’s anything I could change to make it more appealing?

Any thoughts, suggestions, or critiques would be greatly appreciated! I’m especially interested in hearing from anyone who has experience renting rooms or using similar platforms. Thanks in advance for your help!

I don't mean the AIs as part of the lore and you can choose to play as one of them. I mean literally AIs playing the game, specifically created to play the best way possible.

All players would choose some kind of rol and would have to take part of one of the agrupations or clans or whatever (Im not a gamer) to keep themselves alive and fight back against sometimes other players, mainly and mostly agains the AIs.

Since the AIs are constantly online are know all the rules by the letter and can't be bothered, only some limitations put there by the developers would keep them from killing of all players and would be unstoppable. So the twist is that you only survive in this world and savour each little victory, but will never win something big, only another day.

As I said I'm no gamer, so any flaw or hole coment it so we can figure out how would to patch them from the user-experience pov

Hey, Reddit! I just got my very first car, a Mazda CX-9, and I’m going all out on making it absolutely unforgettable. Resale value? I don’t even know her. I’m here for laughs, head-turns, and a car that doubles as a tiny home on wheels while I road-trip around the USA!

I’m planning on pulling out the back seats to make space for a mini-camping setup, but I also want to give it a weird, funny vibe that’ll make it memorable to anyone who sees it. I’ve seen pictures of cars covered in fake grass, leopard-print interiors, and even ones with rubber duck dashboards. These are exactly the vibes I’m going for.

I’m open to anything weird, funky, or just plain “why would someone do this to a car?” kind of suggestions!

Have it use your webcam to see if your eyes are pointed towards the screen. If you're not looking at it, it should reduce the brightness or turn off the screen, and when you get back to it, it turns back on.

I just thought of this in a lecture. When I'm listening and taking notes, there's constantly short periods where I'm looking at the classobard; I'm even typing without looking a lot of the time. My laptop's screen is what uses the most battery, so why should it be on when I'm not looking at it?

Hello reddit. I'm just looking for some general help in figuring out what to do.

So I'm a very very small youtuber. Like roughly 600 subs (not alot I know). My content is mainly gonna be me posting singing covers and originals if I ever write them. But I want to post some reaction content but don't know a lot about music, I just like singing and wanna share that with my subscribers. Was just looking for ideas on what I could possibly react to that involves music and doesn't need heavy knowledge on music but be a good video

Hi Reddit,

I have been a doctor for 16 years and a consultant in a big London hospital for 8 years. I have an excellent professional network and have got to the point where about twice a week I am steering someone (usually a friend of a friend) to a trusted colleague for their private medical care.

I have toyed with the idea of setting up a medical clinic where I look at your funding (insurance limitations, budget etc), condition and past medical history and steer you to someone solid.

For context BUPA / AXA / vitality just send you to whoever accepts the lowest fees with very little consideration of anything else. Many doctors advertise everything they do but don’t focus on the things they are best at / known for in the private sector making it hard to find the absolute best person / people.

This service would not be covered by the insurance and would likely be a self pay cost.

What do you think of this idea?

TL;DR: Introduce a "Kaufkraft-Euro" (KK-Euro) to display inflation-adjusted prices and wages alongside regular Euros. This would give people a clearer understanding of real value changes over time, making it easier to see if prices and salaries are rising due to inflation or other factors. It could be implemented gradually in retail, payroll, and banking as an optional feature to enhance transparency without disrupting current systems. Thoughts?

A Simple Way to Display Inflation-Adjusted Prices and Salaries for Better Transparency

I've been thinking a lot about inflation lately and how it affects the way we perceive prices and wages. It's always frustrating to see prices go up, but it's even harder to know whether that increase is just due to inflation or if the product has actually become more expensive in real terms. The same goes for salaries: Is a pay raise really a raise, or is it just keeping up with inflation?

This got me thinking: What if we had a system where every price and salary was displayed alongside its inflation-adjusted equivalent? I’m calling this hypothetical unit the "Kaufkraft-Euro" (KK-Euro), which is German for "purchasing power Euro." The KK-Euro would be based on a fixed point in time (let’s say the year 2020), and it would stay constant as long as the real price of the product or the real value of a salary doesn’t change.

How Would This Work?

1. In Retail: Imagine walking into a supermarket and seeing two prices on every product: one in regular Euros and one in KK-Euros. The regular price would fluctuate with inflation, but the KK-Euro price would show the real, inflation-adjusted cost of the product. So, if a product's price went up but the KK-Euro price stayed the same, you’d know it’s just inflation, not an actual price increase. If both went up, you'd know the real cost has increased.

2. On Paychecks: The same system could be applied to wages. Paychecks would include both the nominal wage in Euros and the real wage in KK-Euros. This would give people a clear view of whether their salary is keeping up with inflation or if they’re actually getting a raise in real terms.

3. On Bank Accounts: Banks could offer the option to view your balance in both Euros and KK-Euros. This would make it easier to plan long-term projects, like saving for a house, since you’d know exactly how much purchasing power your savings have in today's terms compared to the reference year.

Why Is This Useful?

• Transparency: Consumers and employees would have a clearer understanding of what they’re actually paying and earning, without inflation distorting the numbers.

• Better Decision-Making: People could make more informed decisions about when to make big purchases or whether to negotiate a raise, based on the real value of money.

• Simple to Implement: The KK-Euro would be based on existing inflation data, which is already calculated regularly by institutions like national statistics agencies. The only thing that would change is that this data would be applied more directly to everyday financial interactions.

How Could It Be Rolled Out?

• Optional for Small Businesses: Start by allowing smaller businesses to opt into the system. They could add a KK-Euro display on their receipts or product labels. Over time, more companies could adopt it as consumers get used to the system.

• Supermarkets: For larger chains, prices could be updated quarterly or whenever new price labels are printed. This would reduce the need for constant updates while still providing regular insight into inflation-adjusted costs.

• Payroll and Bank Statements: Businesses could easily add an extra column on paychecks for KK-Euro wages, and banks could do the same for account balances in online banking systems. It would just require a simple conversion factor updated monthly, based on official inflation data.

Conclusion

By implementing the Kaufkraft-Euro as an optional feature in retail, payroll, and banking, we could give people a better understanding of the real value of their money. Inflation wouldn't feel like an invisible force eating away at our wallets, and both consumers and workers could make more informed decisions. In a time where inflation can often feel confusing and overwhelming, this could be a simple and practical solution for transparency.

What do you all think? Could this idea work, or are there potential pitfalls I haven't considered? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

It would be like a suspension but without a permanent penalty.

Moreover, COVID provides plausible deniability, as the student could always claim that their parents want them to use a telepresence robot to avoid contracting COVID.

Just like a smartwatch can save your life by monitoring your health (e.g., your heartbeat), maybe AR glasses can also save your life by monitoring your environment?

For example, AR glasses could stop you from crossing the street when there is an oncoming car, regardless of what the traffic lights indicate.

As another example, AR glasses could stop you from walking alone at night or passing through a high-crime area.

They should sell stuff like tea, coffee and cocoa and they should play a tune to let people know they're coming, just like ice-cream vans do.

I have an idea for fixing one of the bottlenecks for evacuating areas in the path of a hurricane.

Gas stations and petroleum refineries should set up pump rigs that can mass-fill dozens of 5 gallon jerry cans with gasoline in parallel. These cans could be sold quickly in a drive-through fashion when a state of emergency is declared, with price controls enforced to prevent price gouging. A limit of two per person should be enforced. In fact, areas that are prone to hurricanes should even be required to stock up some reserve of pre-filled cans ahead of hurricane season. The reason for this is that one of the biggest bottlenecks to our car-dependent transportation is that gas stations get jammed with people filling their fuel tanks one at a time when evacuation orders are given. This is very dangerous when people are trying to evacuate. Folks tend to fill up their tanks, even if that isn't strictly necessary, so this ends up causing shortages as well.

The chaos that can be seen at gas stations in Florida in the areas under hurricane watch right now shows how serious this problem is. If people could just rapidly pick up a can of gas in drive-through fashion, this could seriously save hundreds if not thousands of lives by massively increasing the throughput of gasoline sales. This solution is just prudent; it doesn't require any difficult technology. It's just smart.

The kind of jerry can that could be stored flat-packed in large quantities would be like wine in a box: a gasoline-proof liner bag in a waterproofed cardboard box that stores flat but can be rapidly folded into a box when the bag is filled. Emergency info should be printed all over the boxes.

Tips:

• Posts must be in English.
• Posts that present an idea are more likely to be accepted than posts that ask for ideas.
• Short posts are more likely to be accepted than long ones.
• Out-of-the-box ideas are more likely to be accepted.
• Posts should be interesting in some way.

Good luck!

Such a keyboard would be combined with a speech synthesizer so you could more easily communicate with your dentist.

Additionally, you could even have small talk throughout the procedure.

The video game industry is being flooded with high-quality games that focus heavily on QTEs (quick-time events) that affect each player's story experience. With the accessibilities of high-end technology nowadays, I feel like interactive films and cinemas should start becoming a new thing to attract people back to these establishments. No more passively watching a film unfold in front of you; instead, the audience controls the story.

CGI and animated films have become a staple in nearly every film released so far. Supermassive Games (the creators of Until Dawn and The Quarry) have proven to dominate the cinematic experience in video gaming, utilising the impressive Unreal Engine 5 to create immersive games and realistic scenery.

In the past, cinemas impressed the public with 3D stereoscopic films, then with amazing Dolby sound. It's time for something fresh and new: interactive films. Specific auditoriums with controls built into each seat, the audience can get involved with how the film unfolds. The audience can participate during certain points in the film that will poll them for how the plot should proceed. If you're familiar with multi-narrative games (Until Dawn, Detroit: Become Human, Undertale, Life Is Strange, Heavy Rain, etc.), then you can get an idea of how these films would look. Based on the majority vote of the choices at these plot points, the film can shift based on what the audience wants to see. This can definitely help sales by having the audience see the film multiple times, whilst still enjoying a unique story experience.

I understand one drawback would be that the majority vote could make getting "unpopular" choices difficult to get, so if anyone has ideas for this, feel free to share!

I have an idea how we can fix the Internet and the whole situation with ads, sponsorship, or rather lack of it for creators, terrible monetization models etc. What if instead of buying premiums and subscriptions of dozens of different services we would pay for a service exactly as much as we use it, every time we use it, but without actually doing the payment (since it would obviously be very inconvenient to make a payment every time you click on something). Instead, service sends action info to the payment provider that collects all your paid actions and then sums everything into a single monthly payment. And a client sees a tooltip or the text next to a link, or something similar where he can see how much it costs and additional info, that is done by the payment provider and cannot be controlled by service providers.

So, instead of paying 15$ for youtorus premium, 15$ for webflix, 15$ for gpower now, etc, or watching ads, you pay, say, 5¢ per hour of video, or hour of gaming, once a month, for every service you've used, with exact amount you've used. Worst case - you pay 36$ if you watched videos 24 hours a day every day whole month. Realistic case - you pay 1-3$. And don't see any ads. Also, in case of video service, creators might set their own additional price, which would replace ad revenue.

Similarly with news articles, weather services, any other service. The service provider calculate their running costs, divides by average number of users and multiplies by some factor for profits. Ideally, that profit factor would be provided by service provider to user in additional info in aforementioned price tooltip.

So, benefits for users are quite obvious - you pay exactly as much as you used. Benefits for services are predictability and simplicity. In most cases, number of users aren't fluctuating that much month to month, meaning that service providers would knew their profits in advance, and they wouldn't have to deal with advertisements or invent their own shitty monetization models, especially since every service this days wants users to pay, and usually quite a lot, and there's only so much money in the world. This would allow to break monopolies like youtube, but even for youtube it could be beneficial - no need to deal with ad-blockers, and every user pays them, instead of them paying creators for users.

Obviously, such system could be abused, like by rapid price changes from service providers, but that's not something a trusted provider would do, and as for new ones without trust - there's price info that user sees every time, and in rather short time there would be general understanding how much similar things cost from other providers.

What do you think? Could this ever work?

Basically, in the world of the show, Death is an actual entity whose job is to lead the souls of the recently deceased to the other side, with the interesting part being that Death himself doesn't know what's on the other side due to it only being his job to take his souls there, having no control over what they're fate it within the afterlife or what happens to them. However, despite this, Death continues doing his job without question

However, after having spent so long as more or less an observer, death begins noticing a gradually worsening trend among humans regarding how often humans end up suffering, being taken before their time, and often not having a chance as a result of factors outside of their control, like with the legal or prison systems. This, coupled with the fact that he doesn't even know what happens to them after entering the afterlife, whether or not they'll be judged or how they would be judged, leads death to begin questioning his role and so would ultimately decide to finally intervene - possessing the body of a recently deceased criminal defense attorney in order to defend those unjustly persecuted, giving them a chance to live a full and fair existence.

The catch is that, while taking on this form, his powers are much more limited. He's still able to carry out his duties as death due to him having a form of omnipresence (just imagine it as there being multiple versions of death that take on different forms and yet carry out the same duties and are all basically the same person, with the death we follow being more or less disconnected and so doesn't have access to the knowledge or his other versions), but his powers are still greatly restricted due to him confining himself within a human vessel.

Not only that but, as it turns out, the defense attorney he's using as a vessel not only had a wife but a daughter as well, with death constantly having to grapple with several things:

1. the fact that he was inhabiting the body and living the life of someone's husband and father

2. the guilt of waking up everyday and having to look in the two in the eyes and basically lie to them about being a man he basically lead to an uncertain fate and lied to him about it, saying he did good and that he would get into paradise when, again, Death himself doesn't even know what's on the other side

3. the fact that he's basically robbing them the chance to grieve properly, meaning that if they ever find out then it would absolutely destroy them.

with this only getting worse the more time he spends with them and the more he grows to care about them.

Hi all! My friend and I had an idea and would love to get your honest feedback.

It’s about a social-media app/ AR game where users are given the chance to participate in AR mini-games and quests related to an event (lets say a concert) of their fav artist, around the city of the concert.

The goal is to provide fans with immersive quests and challenges tailored to their favourite fandoms, while also exploring the city and socializing. Fans can capture items through these quests as rewarding collectables and share their experiences on fandom boards. Also, they can connect with other concert-goers and team up to complete quests, compete on leaderboards, and win exclusive artist NFTs.

I am curious to see if anyone finds the idea interesting or valuable, or what features would make this more appealing.

Any feedback would be super helpful!

Some kind of AI tool where you can upload recorded gameplay of your proudest kills and the ai produces a recreation of the outcome in their perspectives.

The US has 5 major sports, and 12 cities* host all of them. If you count the UFL, every sport's regular season lines up in mid-April. If you adjust the regular seasons of the MLB, NHL, and NBA by a week or two, another line up occurs in October. What if there was a SportFest weekend where teams from each of the 12 cities had home games, and it lined up so that a fan could reasonably see each game in person? The cities that have two sports teams in one sport could have a "subway series". There are plenty of opportunities for rival sports teams to visit one of the 12 during that weekend. Do you think it's a good idea?

*Boston, Chicago, Dallas-Fort Worth, Denver, Los Angeles, Miami-Fort Lauderdale, Minneapolis-Saint Paul, New York City, Philadelphia, San Francisco Bay Area, Toronto-Hamilton, and Washington-Baltimore

I call it a “Swap Cover” it’s where you take the melody of vocals- turn it into the music. Take the music and turn it into the vocals. With new lyrics. Getting permission from the artist of course. What do you think of this? Do you think this could become a thing?

I was playing CS:Go for first time in years and was just dumbfounded by some of the bots' actions as I was practicing. I was thinking, surely with AI embedded in CPUs and GPUs, there would some API for the game to use that could store my actions as training data, process it and apply it to the bots. This isn't even a brand new idea, as chess programs have been using this to simulate historical games and play styles.

This would also be neat to see in e-sports games like MOBAs and FPS games. It may also provide a source of side income for some of the professional e-sports teams. Allow Valve or whoever to record some game sessions, train bots, and sell those bots on the steam workshop.

This would also allow for better balanced practice sessions against bots in DOTA and CS:GO, where the bot difficulty is based on how much information about the game state you give to the bot. For example, most players know that you put smoke down around certain corners, or check in certain bushes in DOTA for hidden players. So, the bot may not need as much information about the game state to provide an adequately difficult experience.

Maybe this is already a thing in other games?

Hii, i am working on a poster as a b-day gift for my father but i have hard time finding reference. i want to make it look like vintage comic book cover, with multiple characters facing each other with good ol' "vs" in the middle. I know it sounds chaotic that's why i want help with the reference.

I have an idea for a YouTube interview show where I sit various famous down and give them the opportunity share specifically struggles/past trauma or otherwise talk about their brain if they’re uncomfortable sharing or generally don’t experience struggle and/or trauma.

The show would be called “are you ok” and would have comedic undertones (if appropriate obvi), so basically Dr. Phil but instead of being antagonistic towards random people who generally don’t deserve it, it’d be directed towards famous people and I’d take a genuinely helpful approach. I’d obviously only attempt this after earning at least a masters degree in psychology.

Hey guys!

I am sure you guys would have wanted a person to do ad hoc cleaning or plumbing and maybe take your dog for a walkk when you are not home or create a quick website for you...

What if you put your task/work on this platform(Lighthouse) which I am developing and it matches you to the people who could do the work for you for a partucular price you set. They could be the people who are locally present and are skilled at it ..or freelancers or particularly fron small MSMEs. Lightshouse will also alert these task getters and ask them to bid for price they want along with a better deadline (if there are any). Now I have some questions.

1. Do you think this will be useful app/idea
2. What should be the initial set of categories like cleaning services, plumbing services, pet grooming services, web developnent services..I should start off with? Entry market basically.
3. What other features/problems do you think can added or solved

These androids would look just like people and react appropriately to whatever is happening on the screen.

And if you are too noisy during a movie, one or more androids might tell you to be quiet.

PC users, you like having tv shows/movies/YouTube videos on your second screen right? Sometimes you want to be able to queue up a nice long playlist of stuff to watch across different places, and don't want to have to keep going off full screen to switch between tabs to change sites and be able to add to it as you scroll different sites while on the main monitor.

Why is there not a method of having a site that just has a full screen player that you can then leave full screen and only have to touch when you are done with it. On the other screen you can go to places like YouTube and click a button, it adds it to the queue.

Fancy watching anime, add an episode or even a series from Crunchyroll and it'll throw it in next and auto switch to it when the previous videos are done with. How about a livestream that you want to catch on YouTube or Twitch, just push it over and then when the livestream ends, you go back to your original playlist of stuff you wanted to watch.

Finished with a session but don't want to lose your watch list, there's a button to add them to your watchlists on the original sites, and if you want you can even just save the session and continue exactly where you left off with the queue still there. You can even control the player on both windows. You could even control it via a browser extension. Heck the whole thing could be a browser extension.

I have tried looking for something like this, but it doesn't seem to exist anywhere (either that or I can't come up with the right set of keywords to find it). But surely this would make watching content on your second screen (or even your main screen depending on how you look at it) a much easier and more satisfying experience. Surely there's some way to program a webplayer to do this?

Obviously if you are watching via first party apps and not pirating this would require you to have the relevant subscriptions but surely there is a way to bridge this and make things more convenient.
