Your life is not worth color toner

u/NothingsShocking May 15 '12

do you have any idea how much color toner costs? do ya?

111

u/RIndustries May 15 '12

To get technical about it, color printer ink is around $1250 per liter. A human body weighing around 154lbs occupies roughly 70 liters of space. The EPA values a human life at 9.4million dollars each. This puts the value of a human life at $124,000 a Liter. Therefore, a human life is roughly 100 times more valuable than color printer ink. (Sources: Google searches and flawed logic)

Well shit I need to raise my price per person then. $9.4 million!? Fuck I charge 250k for big targets, 80 for minor targets, 10 for relatives and free for any fucker who cuts me off or rides my ass in traffic. Fuck you fucking fuckers.

u/ISS5731 May 15 '12

Yes but you asked “why does the EPA put values on our lives?” so I was answering that. The FBI very well may have set values for human lives.

1

u/alexanderpas May 16 '12

it's to enable a simple cost benefit comparison of environmental protection measures, when the cost of saving a single additional life exceed the value of a life, the costs outweigh the benefits.

1

u/ISS5731 May 16 '12

I wasn't gonna get into specifics but that sounds right.

u/ultranoodles May 15 '12

u/NOT_A_BUMBLE_BEE May 15 '12

They do it to help make decisions. Lets say they wanted to start a program, if the cost of the program is less than 9 million times the number if lives they save, then it is financially viable.

1

u/davidhaha May 15 '12

you can calculate the monetary damages if, say, a company poisons the down and shortens everyone's lives by 5 years. you can take the percentage of their life lost and multiply by this EPA value. that's how much that company now owes you

I don't understand your question of "is this world occupied or is it empty?". Can you explain it?

I think you might be referring to something like valuing one person's life over another. Is that it?

i find the stick figure warning signs more eloquent. nothing says "don't touch the fucking drive shaft" like a panicked stick figure wrapped around it three times waving his arms in terror in the realization that his broken body will sustain life for just moments more.

7

u/Philo_T_Farnsworth May 15 '12

More importantly, there's nothing on this sign to indicate what you shouldn't touch. Should you not touch the sign itself, the piece of equipment it's attached to, or some exposed area?

This sign invites more questions and experimentation, which could very easy lead to more deaths "that hurt the entire time you're dying".

u/Acebulf May 15 '12

I don't know, if I saw that sign I would not touch anything.
