'90 Day Fiancé' Stephanie Matto Makes $100k By Selling Farts in Jar

Stephanie Matto says she's earning 6 figures just from farting into jars ... but all that gas is taking a bit of a toll on her health, both mentally and physically.

If you thought buying NFTs was weird, the "90 Day Fiancé" star tells TMZ ... she's already banked about $100,000 from selling her jarred farts to fans, but her process almost put the artist in the hospital.

Stephanie tells us she usually sets aside 2 or 3 days a week to work on her hustle, eating foods typically associated with being gassy ... like beans and fiber bars.

While it sounds like easy money, Stephanie says she recently ate way too many fiber bars and it nearly sent her to the emergency room.

No rest for the flatulent though -- although fans keep clamoring for product, Stephanie says she's only going to keep her biz going as long as she feels up to it, and as long as the checks keep coming.

Stephanie tells us exactly how she ended up going down this road, and we gotta say ... she's got a head for business. And a colon to match, apparently!

You can see her milestone video and interview on her Youtube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4F3r5nXu8lw

Thieves boosting interesting plants from front yards is an actual thing in the Bay Area. I know someone who spotted one of her apparently distinctive potted yard plants at a flea market and just grabbed it to take home, telling the vendor to call the police if he wanted to because she would love to talk to them also.

I remember something like that in the SF thread or Reddit? Someone stole a plant that belonged to their deceased mother or father. I do not think they ever followed up, because I doubt they ever found the plant.

The Boeing 737-200QC is the undisputed workhorse of the skies.

So I’ve been watching 90 days fiancé for a few years now (because of science.) and this woman is legit one of the most pathetic I’ve seen on the show. Attention starved to an extreme degree and completely unable to connect with another human being.

She clearly needs help, but instead of getting it she’s hustling online and on reality tv.

Surely there's a "Henry Ford getting stock tips from a shoeshine boy" analogy for the coming collapse of NTF and crypto?

Is it reality TV show insurgency President hawking NTF's, Matt Damon selling crypto, or is there something even more stupid to be on the lookout for?

The market can remain irrational longer than you can stay solvent.

We saw it during The Big Short where people could see the other show dropping, but it bizarrely floated for far longer than it should have buoyed solely by optimism

I'm not sure there's many better thread titles than this for now. Lid's off the fart container to all of you.

I have seen people get exceptionally rich off NFT's and I'm fine with it, but I don't think we've gone terminal yet, sadly. I've heard of people buying poo poo for an eth and selling it for 10,15+ and so on. I have people still doing 90x on a private raise within two months, so there's still more room to go.

The thing is, I really WANTED to not hate NFTs. I know a few digital artists and it would have been a cool way to sell their art. But nope, ruined immediately by people selling a pixel for a billion dollars.

The original video was on TikTok and those are mirrored for some reason.

I love the fact all TikTok videos are mirrored solely because Zoomers and young Millennials are used to reading everything backwards in their front facing cameras. It's a simple fix, but no...then it wouldn't look 'right'.

Why when I was young you had a little concave mirror on the back of your phone so you could take a selfie and we were happy with it.

Anything that can let you record and watch yourself live will mirror things because people are used to seeing themselves in mirrors and not how they really are. Video messaging like FaceTime and such, if they're smart, will show the user flipped but transmit the true image

With TikTok I imagine they just don't bother flipping things because people are making content and it would be an extra step to account for, which normally only matters if there's text

One small part of that is aggressive marketing from Venmo and PayPal to buy crypto. “We see your sibling transferred you a small sum for Mom’s gift and it has sat in your account for 2 days. Don’t you want to reinvest that in etherium?”

Immutable art is a great logic for the blockchain but we're not really set for it. As someone (such as opensea) has to host the images the purpose is currently lost for focus on expansion of functionality instead, which is I guess the way it goes for now. Things like gaming access and investments and metaverse for example. Land for rent (colonialism lol). I'm now watching the greed show up even from people wanting to auction loving banksy's. Where it's not about cool art, just $$ value. IE not what Banksy does this for.

My first thought was “Got a few bucks? You could use it to buy crypto, or literally light it on fire - the only difference is the latter is better for the environment.”

Not if crypto goes down, then they get to write off the loss!

I hope people at least get to write off the massive fees for any gains they do have.

Repeat after me: There is no functionality of the blockchain which isn't better served by just having a P2P filesharing network like torrents OR by having a couple of centralized servers with backups somewhere.

All uses of "blockchain technologies" are moronic, poorly-conceived copies of better technologies.
