My million dollar idea I want someone to steal and do, so I can be a customer.
"Dumb Stuff" we sell electronic appliances that aren't Internet connected. That's all.
That's it. That's the pitch. I would buy the <bleep> out of this company if their electronic gadgets were even half way decent, and repairable.
Electronic, no wifi, regular screws to open it up. That's it. Do those three things, and you can be sold by this store.
I will pay this business to curate and find these devices for me.
@pseudonym Iʼd buy from these folks. Would love a computer printer that prints. No scanning, no wifi, no Bluetooth. Just hooked up via a cable and does a great job printing.
Exactly. I want my printer to put ink on thin slices of dread trees in a pattern I specify, I want my toaster to warm bread the right amount, and my TV to display video signals sent to it.
@pseudonym I’m with you, brother, on all three. I still have a “dumb” TV and a “dumb” toaster and my printer is 17 years old with no scanner and no fax. Long may they all live—at least till this shop opens.

We still have a dumb car and are hanging onto it until the fad passes, if ever it does. It has 225,000 miles and a cassette player. And a hole in the floor, but we had a guy weld a plate over the hole!
@jill_the_pill @pseudonym This car sounds awesome with a really reliable engine! May I ask what it is?
Mineʼs “dumb”, too, though I went all modern with a CD player!
@jackyan @pseudonym
Toyota Highlander hybrid 2006 — it has a CD player too!
@jill_the_pill @jackyan @pseudonym That's a good car. None of my cars are that young :) But one does have a hole in the floor – on purpose, to drain water. Rural life is tough but fun.
