1. Most popular one is using it as a network wide adblocker by installing Pi-hole or AdGuard
2. Use as a OpenWrt router with added USB to ETH Adapter
3. Home Automation using Home Assistant
4. Use as a simple NAS server with samba and connected hard drives
5. Use as a VPN server to connect to your home network from anywhere in the world through internet
6. Teach kids coding
7. Use it as a low powered desktop for browsing and running small programs like gimp, libre office…etc.
8. Run a lightweight webserver and host your website
9. Install Kodi to use it as a media server
10. Play retro games like NES installing RetroPie
You can a lot more things with this small pocked size device, just Google "raspi projects". I have couple, one running as a adblocker and one running OpenWrt.
The use cases mentioned in earlier comments are definitively valid ones, but you do not have to get a Raspberry Pi to achieve some of them. The idea of running a always-on computer (server) and run desktop applications or web sites sounds good on paper, until you realize that you never actually use it (or do not need to run it all the time), or its performance is not good enough for your needs, in which case your daily computer is much better for those jobs. And I chose a specific Wi-Fi router and flashed it with OpenWRT, which I personally prefer over getting a Pi for the job.
Just make sure you really need a Pi. I know this is slickdeals and people buy things before they think, but this is one thing I go out of way to warn people about potential waste of money.

Basically can do anything, just don't store any important data that isn't backed up elsewhere on an SD card…obviously.
