I just learned of this little gem: https://mcbroken.com/

"A 24-year old software engineer, Rashiq Zahid, built the app by fiddling with
the McDonald's API."

"Here?s how it works: McDonald?s keeps track of which locations have a broken
ice cream machine. If you try to order ice cream at a given McDonald?s, and
its machine is broken, you can?t add the items to your cart: They?ll be marked
as unavailable. So Zahid?s app places an order ($18,752 is the total worth)
every minute at every McDonald?s in the US. He?s not paying thousands of
dollars, of course?he?s merely seeing whether his orders go through."
