Is it related to geraniums because they sure look a lot alike?

Nice! I have one on my porch. Wonder when it will bloom? #grownostr

She's a 10 but likes her steak like this

Warning long but I hope worth the read.

I love this idea and for two reasons. First it has value and second it shows the need for a feature on Nostr with a billion uses.

Starting with value, no one ever does anything for strangers, consistently and well for free long term, because we all have to pay bills. On the recipe sites that are out there they are maddening with long bullshit prose. It is like listening to 6 middle age women at a book club discussing a book none of them read as they drain a 5L box of cheap wine 🍷.

Why?

The only real way to monetize this stuff is for readers to see a ton of display ads. When you are looking for how to make a stew you are not going to click a lot of ads. No one wants to pay for this in the normie world yet, they are entitled. So the pages are long and include stories about my grandmother, what a fuckin tomato is, the smell they smelt in Italy, etc. I hit command 0 on a Mac and just jump to the bottom only to have to scroll up though a ton of most likely fake comments about how all this bullshit changed Karen's life.

I'd be happy to just send 1000-5000 sats to anyone posting a recipe I want to try. No bullshit just ingredients and the basic procedure.

This leads to the feature that we need, a reminder service. There are some on twitter they sort of work okay. Mostly they are used there for spiking the ball on others.

You @ shout a reminder account with something like "remind me of this in 7 days" or 10 years or whatever. Some idiot says we only have 5 years to live, someone else says remind me of this in 61 months. If both are still around then, in 61 months, "wE'rE sTiLL hErE liBtaRd".

But when it comes to information, if something is has real value it increases across time.

(Okay I think that is a bitcoin slogan I just made by accident, note to self to use that).

What I mean here though is simple. Say Josh posts a recipe and I am like, that sounds good, I zap him 1K sats. I start making it, frequently. Now I cook it for someone, where'd you get this,

Me - some guy on Nostr I gave him 1K sats cuz it sounded good

Him - cool what is a thousand sats worth

Me - um like 28 cents, may be I should give him some more since I use it daily, what was his name again, I can't remember who I got this from

Had I set some auto reminder or if when I zapped certain types of content it automatically set a reminder in 30-60 days what have you. Wow, 60 days later in my DMs (today was the day you zapped Josh for his recipe on breakfast sausage). If it was an okay recipe I made once but never again, he got his 1K sats, all is fine but if I loved and use it now, I may be like, zap 50,000 or more sats. We just created information residuals.

I can see a billion uses for this being found, the niche and the reminder both. I mostly see this pattern in cooking sites but I regularly look up recipes because I love to cook, I am sure the pattern is everywhere as it is in most things.

With AI chat bots the body of these sites will only get worse, "AI bot, give me 2500 words about this bullshit thing in the tone of a middle aged house wife into her third glass of Chardonnay".

This cuts right past the bull 💩. Give me the information I need and I am happy to reward you for it.

Wonderful idea to really #grownostr
