Is this meme available in a lower resolution?

[–] I_Miss_Daniel@kbin.social 16 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Any worse and we'll think it's Colonel Sanders in the top left...

[–] SaakoPaahtaa@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Uh what the hell even is that tho? Looks like a hipster-hitler

[–] trashgirlfriend@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

hipster-hitler

that's just what the average ancap looks like

[–] lemmy_get_my_coat@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

Agreed - I hate that I can almost read the digits

[–] cro_magnon_gilf@sopuli.xyz 34 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

Blood - 0, but you get spammed with text messages asking for more

If somebody would seriously pay 138700$ for a kidney, I still couldn't afford to have a kid in the city I was born in.

[–] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That's why I donate plasma instead of blood. That's the real money liquid.

[–] GiveMemes@jlai.lu 18 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Fun fact about "donating" blood, at least in the US, is that the blood donation companies turn around and sell it to the hospitals to make money lmaooo.

[–] Hildegarde@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Same thing with being an organ donor. If you die in a car crash, they will take your heart and use it for a heart transplant. They will bill the recipient an average of $1.3 million dollers for the operation. Not only does your next of kin not get a cut, but they will bill your estate for the costs of their failed attempts to save your life.

They bill $1.3 million for your heart and they won't even comp the ambulance ride.

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

I'm sure they do this because it's illegal to profit from the sale of organs. You wouldn't want your SO to sign you up as an organ donor than off you to collect on that sweet organ cash.

As far as charge you for the ambulance ride... capitalism strikes again. Wouldn't be an issue if we had single payer.

[–] Kase@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

it's illegal to profit from the sale of organs

Apparently not for the people who are charging transplant recipients 1.3 million for a donated heart :/

[–] paholg@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

Is that really any different from life insurance, except with more potential to help poor people?

[–] HubertManne@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago

yeah I was looking at that almost $300 a pint and thinking I can get the steamdeck. if only.

[–] nrezcm@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

On the brightside you'd have a nice down payment for a small starter home. Gotta take wins when you can.

[–] Senseless@feddit.de 23 points 11 months ago

I highly doubt that my liver is still worth 137k

[–] match@pawb.social 20 points 11 months ago (2 children)

bones are wildly undervalued

[–] TroublesomeTalker@feddit.uk 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Nah. It's like frozen onions being cheaper than fresh. They are just orders of magnitude cheaper to ship and store and still be in a useful state. If you get artisanal fresh, never frozen bones they are a lot more expensive.

[–] Kase@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

But remember, whenever possible, buy locally-sourced bones; it's better for the environment, and they'll be fresher that way. 👍

[–] QTpi@sh.itjust.works 6 points 11 months ago

Frozen bone for transplant that I've seen (I work in Blood Bank) are small pieces, not entire bone. That price quote doesn't specify per gram, per bone, or per "unit" so who knows.

[–] oldGregg@lemm.ee 15 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Is that buying price or selling price?

Gotta be buying price based on blood

[–] QTpi@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 months ago

I don't know where they are getting that price for blood. My perfectly legal, screened, and tested Red Blood Cell units are about $455/pint, plasma $118/pint, and platelets are $1,577/pint. I don't know if they are undervaluing because whole blood is a pain to work with.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago

Everyone has value - calorific value.

[–] Pinklink@lemm.ee 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

So total is? Asking for a dead friend

[–] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

The only thing worth nothing is your brain. Think about that, if you can.

[–] marx2k@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I feel like I do need new eyes trying to read some of that text

[–] Kase@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

It looks like those will cost you, uh... $¥∆§%|•

[–] Juris_LLM@feddit.nl 7 points 11 months ago

So you're saying that raising a child can actually be a profitable endeavor?

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Why is skin so fuckinh cheap?

[–] lauthals@feddit.de 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's per cm². Looks like an average person has around 18.000cm² of skin which one could sell for 22k$ then.

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)
[–] NotSpez@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

Well… selling the taint is kinda frowned upon…

[–] Kase@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

What I wanna know is, should I be investing in organs? Are these prices going up?

[–] WhiteHawk@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

did you straight-up just forget the most valuable organ?

Not bad. Can buy 138 iphone 14 pro maxes for a kidney. Guys I have an idea 💡

  1. Setup shop
  2. [REDATCTED]
  3. Profit ???
[–] TheWanderer@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I need employees now. Hiring open. Send in your resumes

[–] Pharmacokinetics@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

How much is a heart and brain? I got lots of those laying around.

[–] lapommedeterre@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

They just did an eye transplant, so if that works out then the value will increase. Better stock up now!

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 4 points 11 months ago

Wait, I only got £50 for my kidney behind the Dog & Duck…

[–] notatoad@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Skin seems a little undervalued.

[–] Cruxifux@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

So basically I only need to kidnap one or two healthy people to set myself up.

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Where did you find this photo of my insides

[–] satan_6661@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

These just look appetizing now

[–] RIP_Cheems@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

"After all, why not. Why shouldn't I sell 5 testicles?"

[–] MNByChoice@midwest.social 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Does someone have a total?

Might be a good way to get better safety standards. "My merchandise is at risk."

[–] SCB@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

$574,100 before skin and blood are counted.

Kinda makes me wanna take up people-farmin'.

[–] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Many safety standards are written in blood
