In a first, an American woman used a suicide pod to take her own life. The process took place in Switzerland. It’s done by pumping in only nitrogen gas, so the person will lose goes dizzy, loses consciousness and eventually dies. Enter futurama memes.
The future is here.
Re-brand it as a liberty booth and sell it as an improvement to the economy and less social services usage to see them pop up all over the US.
They’d take up that fresh prime Redbox real estate.
I’m generally pro-suicide but its depressing how likely your thing sounds.
Inaccurate. You can’t buy anything for 25 cents.
They can get the cost down in they advertise to you just before you die.
I can only imagine the depressing mix of religious content trying to guilt you, shitty funerary services that will send AI-generated quotes to your loved ones or something if you’ll just scan the QR code to pay, and online casinos suggesting you whale for them one last time.
Edit: Don’t whale too hard though. It’s unpaid overtime for the
staffindependent contractors if somebody can’t pay for the machine and makes a mess.true, it should be a subscription model. can’t remember to cancel it if you’re dead 😉
Oh god, you probably have to download a janky app with tons of unexplained permissions.
A quarter costs 25 cents (unless it’s a US quarter on or before 1964 which costs more due to its silver content).
Good luck getting them in quantities less than a roll, though.
I have tons. I get $0.61 in change each night. Save the quarters for laundry and other minor expenses, and the dimes and pennies go into a jar that gets filled up and dumped into the change machine at my credit union
Ah, but you didn’t buy them!
This is generally the way it goes. Businesses buy rolls of quarters to fill the register, cash-using consumers “buy” bills, and gradually accumulate those quarters as the bills break down. Then, they return it to a bank to deposit them, and (possibly with a stop at the mint to retire old coins and inject new ones) the cycle continues.
Meanwhile, businesses deposit the bills they accumulate, and all kinds of wire transactions between banks, consumers, businesses and the government account for the rest of the money supply.
