inGot scammed on a streaming service box from some dude on Craigslist
Yeah the "unlimited free shows" thing is always a red flag. Those hacked apps are sketchy as hell.

inHit 500 sales on my art prints and it wasn't the number that got me
One of my photos got shared on a pretty niche Tumblr blog back in 2021 and I still get random orders from it like twice a month. It was just a sunset shot I took on my phone and posted with no real caption. Now that one picture has probably paid for my whole internet bill for like two years. I have no idea who runs the blog or how they even found the photo. But I've tried to recreate that luck on purpose and it never works. It's weird how much of this stuff is just timing and a little bit of luck.

inTalked to a warehouse manager in Nashville who switched from FIFO to LIFO on cleaning supplies
That "textbook vs what actually works" idea your buddy had makes a lot of sense. @perry.lee, I knew a guy who ran a paint store and did the exact same thing with white latex paint - he kept the oldest cans in the back because nobody ever wanted the off-brand anyway. His warehouse manager told me it cut their returns down to almost nothing once they stopped pretending every item needed the same handling.

inMy uncle the geologist told me to look for pottery shards in plowed fields
Honestly, @milar46 you're probably just looking in the wrong spots. Ngl, the key is finding fields that haven't been deep-plowed in decades and have a south-facing slope. Tbh, I'd check historical maps for old settlements or Roman roads first, then wait for a good rain like your uncle said. Plowed fields are hit or miss, but I've had way better luck on eroding riverbanks after a storm where the soil's been washed away. Stick with it though, once you get that first good shard it hooks you.
