I was talking with a bunch of friends on Clubhouse last night about Fry's – we made a "Fry's Electronics Grief Support Group", and after giving a lot of space to collective mourning, we started talking about how weird it is that the fun and excitement of shopping for electronics isn't present in e-commerce. Even with TikTok and Discord, it's just not the same. And our grief turned into a desire to build something new and beautiful.

We decided to start a Discord server where we'd begin a community shopping experience just like Fry's. There's already a bunch of cool Discord servers for buying electronics, like buildapc and StockDrops. Why not add one where we recreate all the zany things we love about Fry's – even a channel for the gumball machines!

So far the server is kind of like a Fry's cosplay, but in no time we will actually bootstrap some stock drop bots into all the channels ;)
