For those who know Freqout, he's an amazing man and an OG hacker-from Boston to New Hack City. His family has experienced unimaginable tragedy recently, and this is to help with their hospital and funeral expenses.
Give or share!

Witness the power of a good advertising algorithm:
Facebook: hey, here is a beautiful necklace of a super niche fish that you love, an arapuana! But also!! It's a knife!! You love this and need it!
X: we heard you like fish, here's some concentrated fish poop!

I mean, I described it in the tweet, but it's a 24k gold necklace with an Arapuana, but ALSO a knife
