** Pittsburgh's Civic Arena was the first retractable roof venue. Originally designed for the Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera, the Civic Arena was best known as the home of the NHL's Pittsburgh Peguins. The dome was comprised of six moving sections and two fixed sections supported by a 260 foot tall arch. While the design did work, subsequent expansions to the seating bowl as well as the aging condition of the retractable roof system led to its use being limited by 1995 and left permanently closed by 2001. After the Civic Arena's replacement, PPG Paints Arena, opened in 2010, the Civic Arena was shuttered and demolished two years later, despite efforts to preserve the arena as a historic landmark.

* Cloning your pet. Imagine bringing your beloved and amazing animal companion back from the dead! Only cloning doesn't work that way in real life. The clone may be genetically identical, but it'll be a unique and new individual with its own temperament and personality. Not to mention that cloning would cost a ton of money to essentially get a pet you could buy from a breeder or shelter for much less.
* Many reptile owners decide that they're bored of "common" reptiles found in the pet trade today--bearded dragons, box turtles, ball pythons, etc.--and go for something far more unusual and exotic: monitor lizards, emerald tree boas, large tortoises, something along those lines. Maybe even a venomous aka "hot" reptile. However, even if legality isn't an issue (and sometimes it is), these pets can cost thousands of dollars to purchase, with equally-expensive care requirements due to their size, natural habitat, and diet. They might also have a defensive nature and be more prone to hiding from and/or attacking their owner. And this is assuming the pet doesn't die from inadequate care. Indeed, the reason the more common reptile species are so popular in the first place is because they do well in captivity: docile temperament, manageable size, and relatively-simple needs.

* In the realm of the stock market, day trading can be this easily. The rush of snatching a good profit by selling almost immediately after buying can be enjoyable, but it's no better than gambling, it defeats one of the purposes of investing (developing an income without wage labor), and it is more profitable to buy that investment low, and waiting several months to let it appreciate in value. That's on top of the risk of getting a free-ride penalty, which forces you to buy only with settled cash, and the capital gains taxes you may owe the government from selling short term, which depending on your income and the country you live in, can eat up a good chunk of whatever profits you've earned.
