I have some useful ones for everyday things, converting one thing to another. Renaming things. Moving things around.

But the most interesting ones I have are the ones that do illegal things. Like download things from other countries, store them on a remote box, do everything behind a pseudonym not associated with my personal online profiles. A lot of NFT mining stuff, so everything becoming available and its prices (if guessable), some of this stuff I share with a small circle but I am not stupid so I don’t like sharing any of this code and it’s not even on my primary computer. Just sits in a nondescript raspberry pi. One of the more illegal but traceable ones was with crypto trading (where I was inflating the price of a coin by a few percentage points), I had to stop because it could be tied back to me.
