Quite often, Saffron was already worth more than gold (by weight). I’d expect the price has shot up further, since it’s almost entirely produced in Iran.
There’s only a very small amount of saffron in a Flock camera, but with recent price increases, it’s likely worth thousands - and that’s on top of the gold, 64GB of Ram, Nvidia Graphics Cards etc.
They say “money doesn’t grown on trees”, but really, cracking open a Flock camera is the closest thing we’ve seen to a “free money” tree. There’s never been a better time to crack one open.
I just love the way that Flock Cameras wrap all their internal cables with purest saffron.
Oh fuck I lost my sense of smell to covid. How much is that shit worth with Iran being bombed?
