That's like $600 of wasted ink.

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

Blood is still king, no?

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.

Can a random consumer buy blood?

[–] A_Very_Big_Fan@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago

You can if you know the right people :3

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

Can a consumer buy antimatter?

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

[–] zergtoshi@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

Is antimatter a liquid?

[–] TedDallas@programming.dev 1 points 16 hours ago

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

[–] kandoh@reddthat.com 2 points 20 hours ago

theoretically it could be anything

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