In a first, an American woman used a suicide pod to take her own life. The process took place in Switzerland. It's done by pumping in only nitrogen gas, so the person will lose goes dizzy, loses consciousness and eventually dies. Enter futurama memes.

Inaccurate. You can't buy anything for 25 cents.

A quarter costs 25 cents (unless it's a US quarter on or before 1964 which costs more due to its silver content).

Good luck getting them in quantities less than a roll, though.

I have tons. I get $0.61 in change each night. Save the quarters for laundry and other minor expenses, and the dimes and pennies go into a jar that gets filled up and dumped into the change machine at my credit union

Oh god, you probably have to download a janky app with tons of unexplained permissions.

They can get the cost down in they advertise to you just before you die.

I can only imagine the depressing mix of religious content trying to guilt you, shitty funerary services that will send AI-generated quotes to your loved ones or something if you'll just scan the QR code to pay, and online casinos suggesting you whale for them one last time.

Edit: Don't whale too hard though. It's unpaid overtime for the ~~staff~~ independent contractors if somebody can't pay for the machine and makes a mess.
