That $12 thrift store link that redirected me to a live goat cam

I bought an old mousepad from a garage sale in Austin for like $12 because it had this weird QR code printed on it. Scanned it thinking it would lead to some local business, but it bounced through three redirects and landed on a live goat farm webcam in Norway. Spent a solid 45 minutes watching goats climb a wooden ramp, honestly more entertaining than my actual work. The code was probably from a dead e-commerce site that got recycled, but the chain of broken links was the real cursed treasure. Has anyone else paid for something dumb that turned into a rabbit hole of glitchy URLs?

Ha! That's genuinely hilarious. A twelve dollar maze to Norwegian farm animals sounds like a better deal than half the stuff online anyway.
