When was the last time you felt that raw spark of curiosity… and ignored it?
I mean real curiosity. Like, seeing a headline about dark matter or AI swarms and thinking ‘I should dive into this,’
but then doomscrolling, or opening Slack, or just… skipping it.
We’ve made science feel like homework.
I’m building something to fix that. But for now, when was the last time you were curious about something weird or wonderful… and didn’t follow it? Why not?
I want to hear about those little deaths of wonder because this is what keeps me awake at night lol.

its not always about ignoring it but for me most of time its about focus or being relevant. Like I want to try building a vibe coded project but my priority is to focus on my agency and my existing users.
@gamifykaran Totally get it — focus is currency when you’re running an agency!! 🧠💸
Curious though: what would make a “vibe-coded” side project feel worth the context-switch? A 5-minute explainer? maybe testable mini-prototype? I’m obsessed with turning those “someday” ideas into tiny, low-risk experiments — so the main gig never takes a hit, but curiosity still gets fed.
If you had a magic button that let you explore dark-matter-level weirdness for 15 minutes a week without derailing client work, would you press it?
Your answer might help shape the tool I’m building, so I appreciate you sparking the thought! Tysm!
@magical_marzhana Building that project may take 2 hours but to market it I need 100 hours over the time which I dont have as of now 😅
@gamifykaran Haha, so real. Building takes 2 hours, but marketing feels like a part-time job you didn’t sign up for 😂
Would love to know what you are building on that.
When it is about learning more on a certain topic, youtube works for me many times...I create my own personal youtube lists and hear/see them during my workout. My team shot a short video of me doing that and it was funny...and they said they will be posting it soon ;)
And yes, there are some topics that I just get addicted to e.g. Gen AI and then I go all out on them till I have captured them hands-on.
@manu_goel2 Love that your workout playlist doubles as a crash-course lab, so you are productive even when working out hahah – great! Here’s what I’m shipping: Ratio — a “curiosity snack bar” that drops bite-sized science articles. You can discuss with other enthusiasts and swipe in free time instead of swiping reels or shorts. No 30-minute lectures, but instead 5 mins a day that can keep you in tune for a long run :) If you’ll test it, I’ll send an invite — then you can tell me if it beats your YouTube queue.
And yes, please release that workout study-session video; I need evidence that headphone learning is a legit lifestyle lmao! 💪🎧
Quick favor: what Gen-AI rabbit-hole last stole your entire evening?
