It would lead to another QR code that would lead to another QR code that would lead to another QR code… QR codes all the way down.
SWEET! What does yours say?
The Game
I did this! In a post on Mastodon a while back I suggested the idea for a QR code which simply decodes to the text “Please do not scan this QR code again.” It’s a reference to a joke in Hitch-Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy in which a character in a spaceship cockpit presses a button which does nothing except cause a sign to light up which says “Please do not press this button again.”
A fedi friend saw my post and actually made a shirt with the code (with my blessing) and I bought one, along with a sticker for my laptop.
(Anyone else who wishes to use this idea for anything, go forth freely. I claim no ownership.)
A website to buy the shirt, of course.

A link to the live feed of whatever camera is closest to my location, preferably pointed at me and the person scanning my shirt
“Observer detected, initiating deletion”
A malware site that installs a cryptomoner on the device.
My only problem with this is that after buying the shirt paranoia would kick in and I’d have to scan every single QR to ensure the shirt maker didn’t troll me by including a hidden awkward link.
