It's an app like Grindr but also for straight people and it only works between 11 and 2 in the middle of the day Monday through Friday. It is used exclusively for finding someone to hook up with during your tech bro flexible hours extended lunch break.

I think this would unironically be successful and also would unironically remove so much fake tech bro productivity from capitalism that I almost want to do it. I could make millions and get the world to extend the lunch hour to a lunch hour and a half so folks still had time to eat during their lunch and lay break. This would extend down to other non tech bro industries and would be a workplace hours revolution.

The name is a pun on lunch and learn, the tech bro's favorite activity.

This is a terrible idea.

    It'd need a more bazinga name that continues the tiresome trend that Steve Jobs started and be lower case and probably fashionably misspelled.

    laynch or something like that. I'd need to do more bazinga-appropriated drugs to come up with more.

    Predicting right now that the proportion of users that are men will be the same for both apps

      My friend recommended me a dating app but so far it's like 10:1 men. To be fair though I see about as many men that I'm actually attracted to as I do women and enbies.

    Why would anyone want to have sex when that time could be spent programming instead. I don't understand.

      You know how Bumble has like Bumble BFF? We'll launch a companion app called Paired Programming where you just go work over lunch together

      This is the premium subscription name. $5.99 a month until it gets big and then we jack that price up to $30.99 once we have the tech bro hookup market cornered

        You gotta wait to jack the price up after you sell off to another company that promised not to ruin it but then adds micro-transactions, and other gamification/enshitification. Looking at you Fleksy keyboard.

    The challenge for this app would be to find sufficient consenting feeemale app users for its own internal ecosystem, I think.

    The top-tier way bazingas "lunch and lay" is more like this: (CW: SV, drugged coercion, mind control experiements)
