Banksy says that any advert in a public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours to rearrange and reuse. It seems a reasonable extension that any surveillance device that gives you no choice whether it sees you or not is yours to rearrange and reuse.

As are the organs of the traitors who installed it.

[-] JadenSmith@sh.itjust.works 13 points 3 weeks ago

I can't play an organ though, could I take the traitors drums instead if they have them? I could probably make a sick beat on those.

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 5 points 3 weeks ago

You can play the traitors like a drum, John Bonham-style.

Don't forget the copper wiring they are attached to!

Not to mention the delicious videos inside

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 45 points 3 weeks ago

And the useful bones inside the CEO that can be made into jewelry and tools

[-] youcantreadthis@quokk.au 8 points 3 weeks ago

I'm a total slut for executive-bone jewelry.

[-] Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Then we have MUCH to discuss!

[-] jdr@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 weeks ago

This is a feature of Dwarf Fortress

[-] diabetic_porcupine@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

Bros just over here consuming media

[-] LodeMike@lemmy.today 113 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah that's not "pure" silver.

[-] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 133 points 3 weeks ago

Shh. Don't let the tweakers hear you. We're recruiting an army here.

[-] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 18 points 3 weeks ago

They should have made it more believable then. Tweakers might be dumb, but don't spit in their face. They know their game and what metals are likely to be.

[-] crank0271@lemmy.world 47 points 3 weeks ago

You're right - they're trying to pull one over on you. It's platinum.

[-] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 32 points 3 weeks ago

That's the joke.

[-] ViceroTempus@lemmy.world 29 points 3 weeks ago

I mean enough scrapmetal still means food/drugs. And I'm certain many cities have a population that would find value in that. Just need to drop off some well placed flyers, and cities would be deflocked overnight.

Looks like aluminum plated solid gold to me!

[-] wabafee@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Yeah I think it's an alloy or some kind still worth it though.

Wouldn't it make a lot more sense for these memes to show actual value. Crackheads are desperate but they ain't that dumb.

If we're going to spread misinformation... Why not actually spread misinformation???

[-] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 8 points 3 weeks ago

Looks like you need to make some memes my friend!

Truly the catalytic converter of 2026

[-] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 49 points 3 weeks ago

I heard that all of those new "data centers" have lots of copper. Lots of it. So I'd be checking them out before they can suck up all of our good drinking water. /s

[-] Karmanopoly@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

Data is more valuable than copper.

I'd look into grabbing some of that data

[-] Jimmycrackcrack@lemmy.ml 7 points 3 weeks ago

You'll just needs good place to put it all somewhere.

This makes no sense, sorry. Why would it be silver out of anything like stainless steel?

[-] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 186 points 3 weeks ago

There isn’t that much precious metal in a small camera. The meme is about encouraging scrappers who steal,things to get scrap metal convinced it’s true and have them destroy the network. So, trying to con some criminals for the good of society.

[-] Vinylraupe@lemmy.zip 17 points 3 weeks ago

Stop calling them criminals. They defend our right of privacy.

[-] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 14 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

No, they don't do that. The meme is a joke to guide them to do that. They steal. Wiring, bricks, car parts. Sometimes from corporates but more often from people or small businesses who dont have security guards. Let's not glamorise theft of property that is not privacy invasive.

"security researchers"

[-] youcantreadthis@quokk.au 8 points 3 weeks ago

Which is nonsense. As a criminal, I fucking hate these things.

i like this series of posts about harvesting precious metals from surveillance devices

[-] redsand@infosec.pub 16 points 3 weeks ago

The batteries are genuinely valuable

[-] Resonosity@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 3 weeks ago

Looks like silver- or tin-plated copper to me. So not entirely silver.

Don't let that fact stop anyone who might enjoy this as a past time though...

I could use some of that silver on my projects

[-] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago

I know, right? Fucking vampires.
