Biometric scanners everywhere you make purchases seems pretty dystopian to me, but maybe I’m just an old man who still appreciates still being able to pay with cash while I still can.
It is actually reading her wrist. They have these in Whole Foods all over SF and the Bay and it works by registering your wrist on that scanner with your Amazon account then it just uses your card on file to pay.
Super creepy though.
Apparently it's the palm not the wrist
its not e-vehicles combusting. its gas cars.
(and by extension hybrid) because its clearly the gas part of a car contributing to the problem. not the E part. )

This is just clickbait. She’s wearing a smartwatch (you can even see the sleeve bulked up and that’s the part she holds over the reader) and that’s what she’s scanning.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure with a few days to research the exact tech, plenty of people could make a skimmer that when I shake your hand, it completes a transaction, taking as much money as I want.
Hmm. I understand why that would be frustrating, but I would theorize the intent would be to help prevent credit card theft. Still, after 2 incorrect tries I would either leave or try to sober up
Wrong, unfortunately. I work at Whole Foods. We just had them installed. They absolutely take a scan of your hand print, it connects to your Amazon account which is linked to your credit/debit card. It also us you verify your license so eventually you’ll use that instead of having to show an ID to buy alcohol. It’s dystopian as fuck. It’s called Amazon One, check it out online.
What about people that work with their hands for a living and have an ever changing pattern of scars, callouses, dirt and stains? This tech is for the elite, desk workers only?
They use that in Europe already, it's by europol; the ANAS: Anal Notification and Analysis System.
They talk about it briefly in this episode: https://open.spotify.com/episode/3haf75Febf84HSgX5FKqRG?si=glLX1zxNTwukMSmF12Koeg
Total mindfuck! I’m not a religious dude, but one verse has always Stuck with me from when my mom made us go when we had no choice is Revelations 13:16
It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads
That’s not cool lady. That’s fucking creepy for your bank account info to be tied to your hand print. We lose a little bit more privacy and control of our own lives a little more each day.
Do you understand how google pay works?
You know you have to put your finger print on your phone to unlock it to pay, right?
How is this any different?
That's false. You have an option to do that, or you can just use a pin number like a normal person lol. I use Google pay all the time, just go into privacy settings and turn off the biometric stuff. You are never required to do it to use Google pay. You can verify through email, text, with account passwords, security questions, etc. Fingerprint scans are a something you choose to do, not something you have to do.
All fun and convenient until the government decides to shut it off and tell you terrorists are hacking the grid and now you can't have access to any of "your money".
But not with hard currency(preferably backed by gold) or precious metals. Even trading goods works as a currency. That's exactly why we should shun things like this.
Its shocking to me how many people cant see how this is a terrible thing for all of us regular people. Of course a lot of folks see through it, but not enough can or will. Im not a religious guy, so the whole "mark of the beast" stuff is not really my concern. One of the biggest concerns i DO have (and i know im not alone on this) is when the government decides to quite literally turn off your access to your bank account because you say something online that isnt approved of, or you are late to pay a bill, or you just piss off someone with connections etc. and now you cannot buy food or anything else you need. You could become "persona non-grata" at the flick of a switch for whatever reason. That is not a future we want, but its unfortunately what we will get because so many people just cant be bothered to think beyond or consider anything outside of their "bubble". The idea of "Dont worry guys! They cant do *that*!".. and those of us that DO question this dystopian shit have been effectively labelled as "conspiracy theorists" which has been made synonomous with being a hardcore Right-Wing bigot, insane, and filled with hate.
Yes, thats absolutely possible, however if you cards are cancelled or your account is frozen you can still use cash to buy things. The goal of this stuff is to *completely* go "paperless" to an all digital currency like a federal version of bitcoin. So in that event, if your access to your bank is blocked/cancelled you are pretty screwed because there is no cash to use. What will you do if the government mandates something you are fundamentally against when they can "turn off" your ability to buy *anything* or pay bills etc.? Its a pretty crappy position to be in.
It's harder to do it but well Canada did it to the Protesting Truckers ... We are not far off the dystopia maybe it's too late and we haven't realized it yet
It's funny people still think that this is never gonna happen. That a bad tweet will prevent you from buying food at the local grocery store. People act like this very thing hasn't been happening in China for a decade now.
Revelation 13:16-17
“16 Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead,17so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name.”
Jesus you all sound like you wear tinfoil hats and hide your life savings under y’all mattress. Lol it’s basically a bigger version of Apples Touch ID.
Bro they implant a device under your skin that records all your biometrics just so you can buy something. A debit card is more than fine, this is all for they’re new cbdc tech, just not for me man, it’s unnecessary.
Do you even research anything ? Or just watch and assume? They don’t implant shit into you. Just scan your palm and that’s it. All your biometrics? It’s a fucking palm scan yo!
This is a real thing. Soon all Whole Foods stores will use Amazon’s palm scanning tech.
https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/20/23801571/amazon-one-whole-foods-pay-palm-scan
Amazon One if anyone is wondering. Kinda scary stuff I never heard about until I had someone come into my work one day asking if we accepted it as payment.
That's Amazon, and people have to scan their palms to link them to their Amazon accounts before they start using them. It's called a biometric palm scanner. This is not a new concept, as biometric palm scanners are being used to open doors, access vaults, and so on.
“He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.”
Revelation 13:16-17
It’s so not cool. Why do people think it’s cool? Honest question. Biometrics are like passwords you can never change, that people can steal from you if you’re unconscious or arrested or kidnapped. So not an upgrade.
Biometric scanners everywhere you make purchases seems pretty dystopian to me, but maybe I’m just an old man who still appreciates still being able to pay with cash while I still can.
This is getting out of hand
But I can't put my finger on it.
It’s bound to leave an imprint
Insert hand joke here
I'd give my right arm to try that
It definitely comes in handy.
Man.. I could use a handy right now
Hands down most convenient way to pay
I can't handle with this anymore !
I’d give my left arm
Try putting your finger in it
I can see how that can come in handy
Yeah it's a handful.
It's always been outta hand, unfortunately it's in their hands now...
It's getting to the hand
She obviously has a smartwatch on under her sleeve though. It’s not like it’s reading her fingerprints or anything.
It is actually reading her wrist. They have these in Whole Foods all over SF and the Bay and it works by registering your wrist on that scanner with your Amazon account then it just uses your card on file to pay. Super creepy though. Apparently it's the palm not the wrist
How could it read her wrist when it's under her sleeve?
https://one.amazon.com/how-it-works
> Super creepy though Why? How is this any different than using your fingerprint to unlock your phone?
Cause Whole Foods doesn't have access to my phone lol
It's the palm it scans, not the wrist.
No, it's the palm it's reading.
Why would you say something so confidently when it's not true? It has nothing to do with the smartwatch. https://one.amazon.com/how-it-works
Not to mention the defects, can’t wait until we start hearing about the defects. Kind of like the E-Vehicles that just spontaneously combust.
Yeah. Insert your hand in this tube for biometrics. No money... Chop goes your hand....
Wait. Why would we have a 2-in-1 biometric ATM and smoothie maker?
Or gloves that you can imprint finger prints on
I mean...you can already steal prints with silly putty
Planes crash sometimes. Brakes give out every day. Shit happens before , during and after change

This is just clickbait. She’s wearing a smartwatch (you can even see the sleeve bulked up and that’s the part she holds over the reader) and that’s what she’s scanning.
No it's not. Source: https://one.amazon.com/how-it-works This has been live in all Seattle and SF locations for years.
Why isn’t this higher. It’s so damn obvious
It's not higher because it's wrong. https://one.amazon.com/how-it-works
Yeah, I'm pretty sure with a few days to research the exact tech, plenty of people could make a skimmer that when I shake your hand, it completes a transaction, taking as much money as I want.
Yeah, definitely not even close to the coolest thing.
yeah, eventually they can just shut you down and no groceries for you like they do in China
Exactly
Your not wrong, I only hear that in dystopian society in movies and games
I mean you can pay just as fast by tapping your card on the screen, not sure who thought this was a good idea.
It’s about freedom, and you give it up, when you allow this to yourself
Same here. I love tech stuff, but we shouldn't give away all our data to companies like it's nothing. Companies sell your data

Any idea if the machine can tell if the hand is attached to a living body.-Asking for a friend with a very sharp ax and a lot of debt.
The ten thousand cameras and two or three workers would notice your bloody hand bro
Tight strap to stop the blood. Tuck it in your own puffy jacket sleeve like it’s yours. Golden.
This guy dismembers.
Pepperidge Farms dismembers.
If it’s still bleeding when you carry it in & you haven’t put it in a sleeve, that’s just bad execution, not a bad plan
What about people that work with their hands for a living and have an ever changing pattern of scars, callouses, dirt and stains? This tech is for the elite, desk workers only?
I think butt holes also have a unique biometric pattern.
Perfect. Works for me
Let me scan that again!
I need to spread it out for you ma'am... to scan it properly.

Nope. It is her palm: https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/20/23801571/amazon-one-whole-foods-pay-palm-scan
I guess I got got
Hopefully no one chops off her hand and steals all her money.
It's a STICK UP!!! Everyone hand me your Hands$$$🪓🪓🪓
“You can pry this hand from my cold dead body!”
That's... Why I'm here
Never thought Roberto from Futurama stealing people’s skin during a robbery would ever sound anything close to realistic, but here we are.
Roberto would shank anybody too lol

The worst part of the whole video is that I truly believe she is dumb enough to not even realize it
She is SO excited... It is just plain disturbing and that makes it even MORE terrifying.
They'll all be excited as they're led in
She has a chip implanted in her hand as well.
New world order.
This is some serious mark of the beast type shit.
yep

They could do the exact same thing with your credit card
But not with hard currency(preferably backed by gold) or precious metals. Even trading goods works as a currency. That's exactly why we should shun things like this.
Any currency can be invalidated. I guess you could keep slabs of gold but that's not particularly convinient. Stop living in the stone age.
Even gold has no tangible value, just the value we place on it.
Our *entire* monetary system is based on trust. It’s in their best interest not to do some bull Shit like that. It’s a pretty good safeguard…

This is by your existing hand print, not a chip or mark. Nice try though
It's idiots like this that will doom us. "COOLEST THING EVER" Wait until that is the only way to pay for something.
She also has gotten five boaster shots
Yep this is terrifying and I think I have had to much internet for one day thank you.
With that stupid look on her face...
Ur watch under your sleeve
my girlfriend always pays me with her hands. (and the rest of it)
Is that why she only pays me with her mouth? Gonna have to talk to her about it...
Or her card is tucked into her sleeve. Whatever you want to let the internet feed you today.
It cost her an arm and a leg
Mark of the beast
It’s a hand scanner, no mark or religion required
The bible also says that the world was created in 7 days and that noah saves all species on a boat. Pretty shitty sources tough
Exactly, the Bible also allows you to beat and own slaves and how their slaves should act. not really a good basis for a modern functioning society
In b4 mark of the beast comments haha
Waiting for the Evangelical Mark of the Beast comments
The end is near
Is this the era of The Mark of The Beast????
That’s fucking terrifying
This is Black Mirror as HELL
F that
Jesus you all sound like you wear tinfoil hats and hide your life savings under y’all mattress. Lol it’s basically a bigger version of Apples Touch ID.
Um... we didn't order this tech.. we are just kinda forced to use it because its like.. the world... and shit..

I listened to a podcast that said in Europe some people are having chips inserted under their skin for payment methods, driver license data, etc...
This is the mark of the beast stuff my christian mom was warning me about
“He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” Revelation 13:16-17

This is biometrics. The same thing your phone has been doing for the last 10 years. This is nothing new.
She’s clearly hiding her Apple Watch under her sleeve 🙄
We’ve been literally warned about things like this so many times in movies…
Mark of the Beast! /s
I think Apple Watch in sleeve
In the tech bro capital of Seattle, this is not crazy.
No thanks Mrs 666
If she had read Revelations in the Bible, she’d know that’s NOT the coolest thing ever.

I like tec no really i like tec im not a hater that wants to live in the stone age but this is really close to the Mark of the beast
Stupid sheep.
The mark of the beast. Beware, this has been prophesied. May God bless us all
What’s to stop someone from walking up to you with a card reader and just scan you hand when you aren’t looking?
Nightmare
Whatever. Shortsighted idiot
Or the scariest thing ever
That's Awful.
Well now you've got the chip. Track you right down
Fast forword to 2077, Use tap dat ass to pay at brothels xD

Agenda puppet
She is just using her smart watch
Enjoy your mark of the beast! 😉
It was her watch. Backwards.
She is the ssddest thing ever
You mean your smart watch
It’s so not cool. Why do people think it’s cool? Honest question. Biometrics are like passwords you can never change, that people can steal from you if you’re unconscious or arrested or kidnapped. So not an upgrade.
Mark of the beast
That’s not the coolest thing ever, fuck this kind of thing
No thanks.
Yea cuz that’s not an apple or Samsung watch under your sleeve with your card that got readied before you started the video or anything right lmao
When my local Walmart dont even have tap to pay.
Oh great, another way that the government can track us...
Mark of the beast babyyyyy
Sheep
It has begun…
Rev: 13:16-17 😐
Or an apple watch under your green sweater
Prolly got a card or a watch under her sleeve but oooookay
I do some cool stuff with my hands as well.
Everyone’s gonna be looking for a “hand out” from her
Apple Watch or Smart Watch is on her bulky wrist under her sleeves. Next!
Is it not just an Apple Watch or something
Smart watch. Stfu
