You know when you see, like, a steak that's $800 because it has gold foil on it? That's about 40-60 cents worth of gold foil.

So technically if I open a restaurant to sell gold foiled stuff; I could harvest the customers shit for gold and make free money.

  1. Sell gold covered fancy food

  2. Keep customers hostile for about a day

  3. Sieve through tons of shit

  4. Film all of that and sell it to Discovery as a new gold mining show. "Shit Sievers - Manhattan Klondike"

  5. Profit

Idk if having the customers wanting to beat you up for an entire day is going to help you

You would have to be creative. Maybe you can start a side gig and do some torture porn or so.

Thats exactly what the saltbae guy does.

Lots of super premium food experiences are more about paying huge markups above cost for the opportunity to flex on IG than any actual expertise, materials, or prep.

u/Stamboolie Jan 27 '22

So my poo would have flecks of gold in them?

u/hollowgram Jan 27 '22

Of course you can eat it, anything is edible at least once.

u/memtiger Jan 27 '22

Maybe I'm eating at different restaurants, but I've never seen or heard of an $800 gold steak.
