Because just being metaphorically tethered to work isn’t good enough.

In case anyone else wondered (“nah we good.”) The snippet of Greek is (a curious version of) the revelation of John on the naming of the beast around about Revelations 13:18 or so. …i guess it slots in to assigning a number to a person; here’s hoping that this RFID chip provides for more than three digits
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Would it be worth injecting such a chip under your own skin to drive the anti-vaxxers who believe “the gub’mint is going to chip you if you get a vaccine!” absolutely insane?
Maybe.

The company name is Q-nut trolling almost on par with naming your voting machine company “Dominion”…

A few of the Arizona hackerspace cognoscenti have had these for years. It’s nice to se it readily available.
But please keep that giant needle several miles from me.

Thank you! Google Translate recognized it was Greek but refused to translate it to English.

Forty years ago it was the barcode, now it’s the implantable RFID chip. I personally know some people who are terrified of implantable chips due to evangelical “end times” dispensational theology, which is the reason why I don’t see it getting widespread usage in the USA at least.

Is the guy running the guillotine supposed to be a Catholic priest? That would not surprise me from a Jack Chick tract.
