I’m reminded of the “I am rich” App that did nothing except cost the maximum App Store price ($999.99 IIRC), or the Egg Salad kick-starter that raised some absurd amount of money. There are occasionally internet memes that generate funds as part of the zeitgeist. They’re often imitated in the moment.

I wonder if this is unique enough and with enough distance from the last one to engage people to part with their money.

Apparently the kickstarter was for a potato salad:

Ah, Whoops! Thank you for the correction.
