Ah, there it is. The death subscription.

I bet they don’t get very many cancellations either.
You can’t tell me that’s not part of the business model…
The design files and software will probably be pirate-able within a couple of years.

I never thought the rich would paywall dying.
Really? Back in the day even Charon took his cut.
Deal breaker, it should be one time fee
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 ✨
Thanks Satan
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.
It is every citizen’s final duty to go into the tanks and become one with all the people.

You joke but it’ll happen eventually
Asphyxiation is never not successful.
Let it run for an 8h and if the oxygen sensor doesnt report any leak than I’d say “He’s dead jim”.
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.
AI-powered suicide pod, powered by blockchain NFTs SLAMMED by Trump campaign.
There - all the clicks you can eat now.
“Mandatory”
Oh, that’s nice. Well done.
Corporate sponsored ‘suicide pod’
ROFL. I can even imagine the scene of someone going through the… you know, the thing… and while oofing they see a big screen “This pod is sponsored by Grim Reaper Funeral Home, the angel at your service”.
It won’t take long for a “Corporate sponsored ‘suicide pod’ Vanced AdBlocked PainBlocked”.
No one to morn you!?

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.
Death with dignity should be an essential human right.
It is, we just don’t have it.
“You are now dead. Thank you for using Stop’n’Drop: America’s favorite suicide booth since 2008!”
has also been working on an implant that would be able to euthanize Alzheimer patients unable to make their own care decisions, and told us the first one has been built. It will only be loaded with saline to test the timing technology used in the implant, we’re told.
Fuck yeah. Family members, nor the state, can be trusted to execute a demented persons wishes — wishes they were made while still of sound mind. I was already planning on building a suicide machine if I’m ever diagnosed (customised gas mask + nitrous oxide or nitrogen tank probably). Having autonomous, simple, well tested, painless options would prevent me having to waste my time on that.
People still think this is a suicide pod, while it is used by robots to generate electricity.

Hehe, by the time it finished printing something that size, I might have expired of natural causes!
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.
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.
Oh yes you are, mister!
It’s all just a scam to get you to buy tons of filament. They know you’ll never follow through.
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.
why did it need to be 3D printed
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.
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
… and the people involved were arrested
is this on thingiverse?
Used by a human for the first time……. and last?
