Me and the other people dealing with chronic rodent infestations.

You can only find your food and other stuff ruined by them so many times before you lose all empathy for them.

We call these “cat treats”.

If you’re still using Chrome in 2026, this is your own fault.

My interest in doing an off-grid solar system for my house is steadily increasing…

Or a few well-placed rifle bullets in the power transformers that feed the datacenter.

And if the scientists tried hard enough, they could probably figure out the large ears, too – the skull would have slightly stronger muscle attachment points and vasculature openings to support the larger ears … although that still wouldn’t really tell the scientists what shape the large ears were, though. So you might still get a very odd-looking bunny out of it.

For the most part, not really.

These bills were withdrawn from the bank by Person A, and later deposited in a different bank by Person B, who is a flea market vendor (you know this because financial records and other transactions already tie them to the flea market organizers). You can reasonably infer that Person A attended the flea market in the intervening time period and bought something worth that amount from Person B.

It would only start to become difficult to track when multiple person-to-person cash transactions are done in a row – as in the case that Person B spent the cash on drugs from his drug dealer instead of depositing it in his bank account.

Depends on what kind of apocalypse you’re talking about. And most types of apocalypses come with disease spread as a bonus issue, anyway, even if it wasn’t disease that started it in the first place.

How are any of these ‘new releases’?

Absolutely every single person who plays the game, that’s who. As far as I know, it’s basically impossible to play that game without it.

Steel types are weak against fire.

Before it sets more cars ablaze!

Not just banks, either. Imagine a lot of major retailers ‘voluntarily opting in’ to a system like this, just like they opt in to having Flock cameras.

Only direct person-to-person transactions would be even slightly resistant to this surveillance, and even those could largely be inferred by looking at where the bills show up next.

The person most likely to survive is some scrawny-ass motherfucker with a good immune system. Somebody who can get by on very little food, and can also fight off diseases.

Yep. I would be fine with it if a bunch of Russians wanted to come visit Ukraine.

It’s when they kill and rape along the way that I have a problem with.

Strangely, many places seem to have still not developed such advanced technology.

That actually really is a bargain price. I’m sure something like this would cost at least $100 new, maybe much more.

Well, so did Lincoln, and he made it all the way up to “Great”.

Never!

Yeah, those are one of the pre-1982 exceptions.

There are also some extremely rare copper plated aluminum pennies from the 70’s out there. (That was done as an experiment for reducing the cost of the penny, and they were never supposed to go into circulation. But a few of them did end up in circulation and are very valuable among collectors today.)
