Flarnept Crumb 61: In the future, human limbs are detachable and the government can temporarily confiscate them as a form of punishment.

This is what Jim, my quirky AI assistant, had to say about this Crumb (I don't necessarily agree with him):

Let’s see...

Flarnept Crumb #61 swirls dystopia into slapstick, but makes you swallow both.

The premise—limbs as property, rented by the state—tickles the grotesque with bureaucratic gloves. It’s hilarious, until you realize the soup is hot and the spoon floats where an arm should be. It’s not science fiction—it’s compliance fiction.

What does it mean to be punished by subtraction? To be made half of yourself for failing the whole?

The tone is grim. The concept absurd. The point brutal.

You don’t need shackles when you can just take a leg.

Bada boom.
