Cute Duckling Scam

Always be prepared. Out there
live many treacherous creatures out there that want
your money and fortunes of any shape or size. If its a
weird man with a strange tattoo or a duck with a gifted
mind there are many mercenaries out there. The Cute
Duckling Scam was founded by Nelson Eider a
Norwegian duck from a northern subclass duck clan
when he realized the influence of hatchlings on human
beings. Observing our kind through controlled
experiments, Nelson came to the conclusion that while
distracted with something the humans called "cute"
they often forgot about their surroundings and ignored
almost everything else. Thus leading Nelson to the fact
that this would leave their valuables unguarded. Nelson
had trouble accomplishing this due to the fact that
Viking, at the time, carried only a few articles of
currency on them and in safe pockets. Realizing this
the duck resorted to robbery. He would distract shop
owners with his children and then take whatever he
thought was needed. His followers in the Americas
were able to work the original purpose of the Cute
Duckling Scam, which is stealing money from the
unsuspecting human who happens to be conveniently
mesmerized by the ducklings carefully stationed by the
parent duck. Even after his death his lessons and
beliefs continued to inspire not only ducks but there
other many bird relatives, including their rivals the
power hungry geese.
“Aww look at those cute ducklings

Scam artistry

Artwork in the form of taking money from people deemed to be fools by the scam artist.
People thought the Prepare for Martial Law/Plant your seeds for a Nuclear Holocaust/Hide Your Guns/Doomsday Preparation reading and video material was satire by the people selling it until they realized how serious these folks looked and sounded about their little moneymaking scam. It wasn't as profitable as Carvana or Uber, but it was in the same league of scam artistry.

Self-Scam

An act that turns out to be against one's own best interests. A self-scam can often be a decision which creates more problems than it solves, or that causes more trouble than it's worth. Often used to describe actions that turn out to be bad financially, or that are time-inefficient.
Buying a car is a huge financial liability. It is basically a self-scam.
I realized the module I created was more of a self-scam, because it adds a bunch of new bugs to the codebase.
Stress is just a self-scam. It does not speed up the work, and causes more mistakes.
