micro-SaaS that tracks country club obituaries for golf waitlist spots

elite country clubs in rich suburbs have 10-year waitlists for golf memberships, and the only way a spot opens up is if an existing member passes away.

someone built a simple scraper that monitors local probate filings, public obituary databases, and county property deed transfers for names associated with private club rosters. when a spot is about to clear, the tool immediately pings the next applicant in line so they can call the club admissions director before other applicants even hear about it. charging $49 a month to guys who have been on waitlists since 2018.

SpongeBob’s Dual Personality

When you’re working retail and a customer says, “Can you check in the back?” for the fifth time today…

SpongeBob: “Of course, sir! I’ll check right away!”

Inner SpongeBob: “I hope the backroom collapses.”

What’s a weird study technique that actually worked for you?

I’m curious about the unconventional study methods people have tried.

Not the usual “make flashcards” or “use the Pomodoro technique” advice—what’s something unusual that genuinely helped you remember information, stay focused, or understand a difficult topic?

It could be something completely random or even something you thought wouldn’t work at first.

What’s the weirdest study technique that actually worked for you? 😂

I Get Paid to Smell People’s Stuff. 👃💸

Yep. That is apparently a job.

A few months ago, I stumbled into one of the strangest side hustles I’ve ever tried: scent testing.

Companies send me mystery samples—perfume, candles, laundry products, sometimes things I’m not even allowed to know the brand of yet.

My assignment is basically:

Smell it. Wait. Smell it again. Take notes.

Not just “nice” or “gross,” either.

I have to describe things like:

>

I rate the intensity, how long the scent lasts, how it changes over time, and whether I’d actually want to use the product.

The weirdest part?

I’ve caught myself walking around my apartment thinking things like:

“Hmm. This room smells like wet cardboard with ambition.”

😂

Some testing sessions take 10 minutes. Others involve a ridiculous number of samples, and eventually my nose basically goes on strike.

But the upside is that it’s flexible, unusual, and doesn’t require me to stare at another spreadsheet after work.

And honestly, it changed how I think about “side hustles.”

Everyone talks about selling templates, dropshipping, freelancing, or becoming a content creator.

Meanwhile, somewhere out there, someone is apparently making money because they can distinguish vanilla from “vanilla, but slightly suspicious.”

Would YOU do a side hustle this weird if the pay was good?

And what’s the strangest legitimate way you’ve ever heard someone make extra money?

Tell me in the comments. I want to know how weird this rabbit hole gets. 👇
