1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life.
Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull.
If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying
No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting.
Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

My first wonder was how hard it would be to rig up a usb-c cable on the side of them and put a on off button with a light, so he could manually turn on off each cord knowing which are charging so he doesn't have to leave them all charging all the time. (Originally I was thinking flip it verticod and put a qi2 coil on each stand, but leaving them all on all the time would be a bad idea)
Oh im not charging them. This was specifically not supposed to be a charge station. I put this organizer next to a couple of charging cables and charge when I need to. I power down the devices when not in use.
Oh alright, that makes sense. A while back I wanted to make a coffee table and never got around to it so I think the wireless coils are always in the back of my mind. Basically to see if for the fun of it I could make a coffee table for the living room made of wood or mixed materials near designated patterns where essentially from the top it would look normal but if you put your device on any of the designated places it would recognize your device and start charging it. Not a fan of this color/design but basically if you had say this where if done right you could basically get a small charge on any square and potentially even get the magnet to work if done right. While reinforcing it so it doesn't structurally have any issues. Aka coffee table can be used normally, someone can spill something on it, no issues but also near thoughtless charging if anyone is in the living room.
It could even just be all the outside squares, where they lock in the center if the magnet works.
