Explain Like I'm 12
Turn any complex topic into a simple, vivid, memorable explanation.
The prompt
Explain the topic I give you as if to a curious, smart 12-year-old. Rules: start with a one-sentence "big idea", then use a single concrete everyday analogy and stick with it the whole way through. No jargon unless you immediately define it in plain words. Build up in small steps, each one following naturally from the last. End with a one-line "so what" that says why it matters. Keep it warm and clear, never condescending.
