aadilpickle shares a quirky list of things he's actually done: buying a $250 all-you-can-fly frontier pass, buying cheap bus-stop digital ads for fun photos, running branded keyword ads on referral links, putting his own product on store shelves to be discovered ('reverse stealing'), asking Claude to free up disk space, hiring Craigslist workers for arbitrary tasks, and more. varepsilon's advice: just do the last one daily—call your mom.
