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.

          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 staff independent contractors if somebody can’t pay for the machine and makes a mess.

        A quarter costs 25 cents (unless it’s a US quarter on or before 1964 which costs more due to its silver content).

            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

      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.
