Man that Frosty Cow story hits close to home. @emma_wells83 your taco place example sounds exactly like what's happening here too. It breaks my heart seeing small owners get tricked into thinking one viral moment is enough to carry them. They spend everything on the hype and forget the boring stuff like having enough cash to pay rent next month. Kinda makes you wonder if the whole influencer game is just setting people up to fail if they don't already have a solid local crowd.

Used that exact same 3-in-1 on my lawnmower wheels last summer. Got tired of the squeaking every time I pushed it around the yard, so I just gave each wheel a couple drops. Haven't heard a peep since then, and that was almost a year ago. Honestly, it's way cheaper than buying a whole new mower or taking it to a shop. People sleep on basic maintenance, but a little oil goes a long way.

Same thing happened to me with Lost back in the day. Used to stay up till 2am on Wednesdays with a friend, texting each other theories about the hatch. One time I literally fell asleep with my laptop open on my chest and woke up to a frozen screen of Locke staring at the numbers. Missed the whole next episode because I was too tired to follow it. But honestly, those nights lost to wondering are almost better than the actual answers sometimes.

lol yeah @phoenix_martin40 my buddy got that treatment and his views tanked right after the "test" ended.

Wait, the book actually said to use a block of wood and a prayer?
