If you're looking for a new rabbit hole to explore...theres an entire crowd of people who firmly believe that the government creates a corporate version of you when you're born, and that your name in CAPS on the birth certificate is evidence of this.

My dude, it's much MUCH higher than that

Picture it... Henry Mancini - Baby Elephant Walk starts playing. You walk in. Double finger-guns. Wry smile. A wink for every person in the room.

My best guess...

From "skeletons in the closet". Colloquially, meaning to have secrets.

You would definitely enjoy Preacher. Graphic novels are great, show is better than ok.

Guy ends up gaining "the word of God" as an ability

There's definitely an inherent paw clause to this power...unintended consequences galore!

Probability has more than one side, bend it one way and its also being bent away from another.

Bend probability to my will.

Example: Jump out of a plane (see a bowl of petunias and a sperm whale on the way down), bend probability so that against all odds; I start to fly.

Cologne, worn moderately.

Smelling good is a huge part of being attractive. You can legit make heads turn by wearing a scent that doesn't reek, doesn't smell like everyone else, and compliments your own body oils and smells.

I'm imagining being in the row directly behind the last row of reclining seats....its not a pretty scene

The Fediverse demographic skews very heavily away from anything that smells even remotely like promotion or sales (and especially AI).

Your best bet, and possibly the only meaningful way, to leverage the Fediverse as a business is to use it for thought leadership. Write, post, comment about specific meaningful things your business is centered around. Do not promote, do not use contextual links, do not direct people to your website for more info.

This isn't a place for direct lead gen at scale. It's a place to accumulate like minded people, and work towards those people talking about you inside their own networks.

It's the long game, recognition and association; not engagement and monetization.
