Yeah, "ouch." That's a lot of black ink. It doesn't look laser, either, because there's so much ink the paper warped.

Ouch.

That's like $600 of wasted ink.

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

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?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 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.

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

theoretically it could be anything

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

Good thing is has that white icon in the middle. It would have been super shitty and wasteful if it was just a fully black page.
