A packed coffee shop can still lose money: 150 million in revenue, only 10 million in profit

Twelve School Days Straight: the Body Starts to “Self-Optimize”
On day one, Luna prepares everything perfectly, full of energy. Over 12 straight school days, the body quietly shifts to 'power-saving mode': hands head for the door while the eyes are still half-closed, she can't tell what day it is, and the battery drops to 1%. Come the day off, Luna's plan has just two steps: sleep and… sleep again.
Packing Autumn into a Notebook
Luna buys a notebook to 'record autumn', then goes overboard decorating: leaves, washi tape, coffee receipts… until going out isn't about living but 'collecting evidence' to paste. Get Go realizes his friend now lives backwards — living to have things to paste. And tomorrow's page is still empty.
Not Sure Where to Go Next? Maybe You Don't Need a “Life Plan”
Next Version Life's first video offers a lighter way to think about feeling stuck: what you're missing isn't a perfect life plan, but a few experiments small enough to gather real evidence about your direction.
Why do some popcorn kernels never pop, even in the same pot?
Same pot, same heat — yet some kernels burst into fluffy white popcorn while others stay hard at the bottom. The secret is the small amount of water inside, a hull that holds pressure, and each kernel's heating conditions.
Cooking for One: “Course Two” Is the Dishes
Get Go decides to cook a home meal for exactly one person — himself — plating and photographing it like a chef. It really does feel worth it, until 'course two' appears: a whole sink of dishes. The more he washes, the more there seems to be, because he grabbed tools on impulse while cooking. The lesson isn't to cook simpler — it's to wash less.
The Trip's Real Destination: the Duck Place
Get Go's travel schedule is fully booked, yet the “sightseeing” slots have no locations — only the boiled-duck restaurant is reserved early, with the route memorized down to the meter. Three “attractions” later, they were all just “on the way” to lunch. Tau's verdict: the real tour guide this trip was Get Go's stomach.
Five Countries Without Leaving the Sofa
On his days off, Get Go “travels” everywhere: Japan in the morning, France at noon, Bali in the evening — all through other people's travel stories and photos on his phone. He has strangers' itineraries memorized, complains travel is tiring, yet the only sore thing is his finger. Luna, beside him, sums it up: a five-country trip that fits entirely on a screen.
Why can the smell of grilled meat make you hungry before you even see the food?
Why do grilled and pan-seared meats smell so distinctive? A look at the Maillard reaction, the compounds that create aroma, and why food smells can spark the urge to eat.
The Hotel Fridge Where Your Food Stays Outside
Get Go is thrilled the hotel room has a fridge and plans to store the lunchbox he brought. But he opens it to find the minibar already packed with bottles that 'booked all the spots'. Tau explains the terms: this isn't the room's fridge, it's the hotel 'renting rooms to bottles of water' — Get Go's food is just a walk-in guest and has to stay outside. A tiny misunderstanding turns out to be a business model.
The Mystery of the Half Bao
Rocco insists he only ate 'half', but the idea of half keeps changing after every bite. Tau investigates the vanishing bao with logic, only to hear a brand-new definition of splitting it: one eats the outside, one the inside.
A Short Walk That Became a Full Island Loop
Rocco invites Tau for a 20-minute walk, but each time they mean to turn back there's a perfectly reasonable excuse to go 'a bit further'. In the end the GPS traces a full loop around the island — and the drink stand was right at the start, which Tau knew all along.
A 3-Day Break, Two Days Spent Filming a Vlog
Get Go wants to capture a few holiday moments, but the more he films the more perfectionist he gets: the more 'natural' the video, the less natural the behind-the-scenes. On the last day he means to truly rest, then the shot's too nice… so the camera goes on.
Stuck in Traffic, Snacks Already Gone
Get Go carefully preps snacks for the trip, tying each to a journey milestone. But the jam lasts longer than expected, and before leaving the city he's into the last emergency box. The food plan is 100% complete — only the trip hasn't started.
What You Think You Look Like vs. Reality
Get Go steps out of the car with a wildly cool entrance in his head — then the bag strap catches the door and his phone is left on the seat. The gap between the self in your head and reality is exactly one car door wide.
A Day Off, Lived Like Any Other Day
Get Go takes a day off but his schedule is 'fully booked': the living room becomes destination #1, the fridge becomes a local food tour, moving from sofa to bed counts as 'changing location'. After a 'busy' day, he schedules one more thing: rest after a day of rest.
Learning to Apply It… in the Wrong Place
Just to pick lunch, Get Go builds a full 'Lunch Decision Model v1.0' with scores, pie charts and scatter plots. By the time the analysis is done, the chicken rice is sold out. When they're actually hungry they just go down and eat whatever — but Get Go still wants to update the dataset.
What If Someone Were Controlling My Life
Rocco and Tau suspect life is a game with a player at the controls — forgetting tasks, wrong turns and random snacks are all 'bugs'. The twist: the 'player' is living for the first time too, at 12% energy with 47 tabs open.
