So these aren’t cool mice? Because I was excited when I thought they were cool mice.
“You are now dead. Thank you for using Stop’n’Drop: America’s favorite suicide booth since 2008!”
Here’s my proposal:
I’ve heard the claim numerous times that people leave a tremendous carbon footprint. Each person would be assigned a certain amount of “carbon credits” that their life is worth, and the value slowly declines as they get older. If they choose to, one can hop in the expiration bin and donate those remaining credits to a cause of their choice: they can give them to their children, family, or friends, donate them to a charity or research group, etc.
I can just imagine the ads where companies try to compel you to take the early-expiration route while relinquishing your credits to them “for the greater good” or some other such nonsense
Children mass-produced for the glorious stream of carbon credits it would award
Microsoft, Amazon, Tesla et al provide “expiration tanks” in convenient places that send the credits directly to them after each “donation”
Wtf i need to go back to sleep, lol
Night night lemmy ✨
It is every citizen’s final duty to go into the tanks and become one with all the people.

sounds like a black mirror episode, you should contact charlie brooker
Charlie Brooker stopped making Black Mirror because of that user
He stopped making them because they kept coming true.
I think I can cope with most of them except White Christmas.
That’s somewhat similar to the plot of the movie Plan 75.
“In a dystopian alternate reality, the Japanese government creates a program called “Plan 75” that offers free euthanasia services to all Japanese citizens 75 and older in order to deal with its rapidly aging population.”
Thanks Satan
It being 3D printed is the least relevant part of this. But it has to be in the headline to get clicks. But it apparently also has to be the lead? "Molecule based “suicide pod’…”, “Carbon neutral ‘suicide pod’…”, “Self actualized ‘suicide pod’…”, “Corporate sponsored ‘suicide pod’…”
There aren’t many things you could put in front of the real story here that change the story without creating an even bigger story. And 3D printed is definitely not one of them.
The register is a tech magazine, so the DIY/3D printed angle is relevant here. It’s also relevant because it would, at least to some degree, allow someone to build it themselves in places where perhaps the legality of self determination is questionable. The Register is not a place where you’ll normally find unnecessary clickbait headlines.
It’s kind of a big deal if you can’t legally do this (and as it happens, you can’t where they did it) by implying you can circumvent the law this way.

There - all the clicks you can eat now.
“Mandatory”
Oh, that’s nice. Well done.
How long before the first Sleepshop opens?
- Looks over at Ender 3
Hehe, by the time it finished printing something that size, I might have expired of natural causes!
It’s all just a scam to get you to buy tons of filament. They know you’ll never follow through.
the 3d printing part is only aesthetical, people have been taking their lifes by just using a bag or whatever else can contain the nitrogen from a tank
Yeah but that’s boring. I’m not going to die in a pedestrian manner, it’s got to be in a cool sci-fi way or I’m not doing it.
Oh yes you are, mister!
Wear Matrix cosplay and jump off a skyscraper. Just believe, Neo!
… something about that image is terrifying and funny to me at the same time. 😅
Personally I refuse to die for anything short of an antimatter explosion.
Death with dignity should be an essential human right.
It is, we just don’t have it.
Used by a human for the first time……. and last?
We truly live in the future
as well as a fee of €95 ($105) for 24 months of access
Ah, there it is. The death subscription.
The design files and software will probably be pirate-able within a couple of years.

Deal breaker, it should be one time fee
I’m not paying 4 bucks a month unless it’s ad free

At least the Jolly Roger flag is very appropriate, in this case 🏴☠️

I never thought the rich would paywall dying.
Really? Back in the day even Charon took his cut.
I bet they don’t get very many cancellations either.
You can’t tell me that’s not part of the business model…
… and the people involved were arrested
People still think this is a suicide pod, while it is used by robots to generate electricity.
Hell of a lot of duct tape on that thing.
why did it need to be 3D printed
My print keeps failing! Can I just use a trash barrel? Lol. I don’t understand at all why one would need or want to 3D print anything.
fucking printer i hate this thing
Why does it need to be a pod??
that’s true. it could be a garbage disposal instead
Perhaps due to the reasons that executed prisoners need to be injected with a suspicious cocktail of drugs. No company wants to be connected to the death of a person. Perhaps they are worried they won’t be able to supply parts and components once the news gets out about what their product does.
Plastic bag: am I a joke to you?
Hardly a pleasant way to go…
The suicide bag uses a similar process as the suicide pod, but is very much DIY. Shouldn’t be too uncomfortable unless you’re claustrophobic.
Some people are into that.
I’ll just get the old box of Calgon out of the laundry room.
