That's like $600 of wasted ink.

Especially considering ink is the most expensive liquid a consumer can buy.

Pshh. You need a better blood guy.

[–] tdawg@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah but you really lose out on flavor if you get the cheap stuff

Depending on where you live, buying blood isn't something your average consumer can do.

Even if you can, things like horse show/racing and prize bull semen can go for tens of thousands of dollars a gram, or more.

I read this, but it could be wrong

Printer ink is now the most expensive fluid that a civilian can purchase without a special permit. It's colored water that costs $10k/gallon, which means that you print out your grocery lists with liquid that costs more than the semen of a Kentucky Derby-winning stallion.

We talked about this on Lemmy last month, it's Antimatter at 60 trillion an ounce

[–] irelephant@programming.dev 4 points 2 months ago

Can a consumer buy antimatter?

If so, I finally have a reason to start a gofundme.

theoretically it could be anything

Antimatter printer fluid must cost more than the GDP of the entire Milky Way.

[–] irelephant@programming.dev 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Can a random consumer buy blood?

[–] A_Very_Big_Fan@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

You can if you know the right people :3

I wonder if the cops would seize it if you’re pulled over.
