Shove it up your ass or pee hole.

Put it in your closet and forget about it.

Mine sat around for a long time doing nothing. I just couldn't find a use for it. I used it as a classic ROM console for awhile, but the fun wore off. Then I installed OSMC and used it as a home theater PC, but I never used it because I have a Roku which works better for the streaming services I use. Then I forgot about it for awhile. Eventually I bought a Ubiquiti access point and now the Pi serves as a low power always on Unifi SDN controller.

Pihole maybe? You like ads or something

Honestly they're a pretty dumb purchase if you don't already have a specific use came in mind. I'd wager a bet that 75% of Pi's ever sold are just sitting in a drawer or closet somewhere. The low price is tempting but ultimately I find them to be pretty useless for anything I need to get done. They're unremarkable in every way but price. Forget about using it as a NAS appliance; the ethernet and USB ports all operate on a single USB 2.0 controller. Transfer speeds are abysmal.

Spend 20 on a metal case to realize it fucks the wifi then spend 12 on a case that's plastic, then spend $5 on heat syncs, install Raspbian, get bored. Install retropie or lakka and play Atari thru dreamcast, get bored, make it a Kodi machine until your niggerbuild fails then do all this shit on your real PC and put the pie in a drawer.
