    Are you assuming or do you know? Do coroner surgeons really get paid that much for a few hours work? How many tests are performed?

    Bro, it's healthcare. The coroners aren't getting paid that, the hospital is. And yes, a Google search puts it between free (for criminal cases the state is pursuing) to a few thousand dollars for private autopsies.

    I found a place in Colorado that does private autopsies for the entire continental US: https://www.postmortempath.com/

    I verified they're a real business. Here's an excerpt from their FAQ:

    How much does an autopsy cost?

    A private autopsy generally runs between $3000 to $5000, depending on the company that you use and how many additional tests and procedures you wish to be performed.

    Gosh, if only we had some sort of object at our fingertips that would let us look up information like that in an instant… perhaps something that could even let us look at several different sources to compare information…

    Can we not do the Reddit thing where it's a race to post the funniest comment on even the heaviest topics, drowning out serious discussions?

    Can we not do the thing where we complain about innocent comments that annoy us just to get our domaine instead of just blocking the user and never having to see it again?

    You’re making the shared space worse.

    As I said to the other user:

    Some people dislike litter more than they dislike people pointing out litter, and some feel the opposite. You are in the latter category.

    Let me point out your littering.

    It's definitely a stance to take, saying that complaining about anything is awful. It's not a very sensible stance, but you're welcome to it.

    Gotta say, i prefer a South Park reference to your whining about said reference.

    ...who's really stinking up the joint, in this scenario?

    You.

    You're making a personal attack out of me asking someone not to Reddit our Lemmy.

    "Our" lemmy. And yet, you don't speak for me. Interesting.
