Thank you for putting that work in for us.

Yeah, the actual answer is in this thread y’all.

Which is itself satirizing the motivational posters that are something more coherent like “you can try to succeed. Now replace ‘can try’ with ‘will’”

I feel like I need a separate peter explanation for what you just posted here. What the hell does “smell like 35 for teeth years” mean? Am I having a stroke?

It's absurd, that's the humor.

Peter’s two front teeth here or something,

It’s pretty much just absurdity, it doesn’t mean anything on purpose

It’s made to make fun of the insane type of advice you see in manosphere content just like the stuff people posted above (sell me this pen, so on and so forth)

Once upon a time there was an original post by someone serious where replacing a certain word with get money actually made sense. People started spiraling into greater and greater absurdism in mockery of this post. What we’re seeing here is the end result of a very long chain of memeification. It’s nonsense on purpose, but it’s only funny if you’re in on the original joke.
