    Is this a joke??

    I just found this over at Rense--I'm assuming this is some kind of joke, as in the person writing it figured that nobody actually reads this crap and inserted it as a joke.

    From Rense:

    Amazon's Updated Terms Of Service Still
    Show Their Zombie Apocalypse Provision
    In The Company's Sept 2, 2021 Update



    42.10. Acceptable Use; Safety-Critical Systems. Your use of the Lumberyard Materials must comply with the AWS Acceptable Use Policy. The Lumberyard Materials are not intended for use with life-critical or safety-critical systems, such as use in operation of medical equipment, automated transportation systems, autonomous vehicles, aircraft or air traffic control, nuclear facilities, manned spacecraft, or military use in connection with live combat.
    However, this restriction will not apply in the event of the occurrence (certified by the United States Centers for Disease Control or successor body) of a widespread viral infection transmitted via bites or contact with bodily fluids that causes human corpses to reanimate and seek to consume living human flesh, blood, brain or nerve tissue and is likely to result in the fall of organized civilization.

    Don't believe it?

    Go here: https://aws.amazon.com/ service-terms/

    See Section 42.10

    They’re simply relying on official policy for the last ten years -

    What's so unusual. I have been talking to the undead for years. Occasionally I am noticed and they answer. But never with anything that matters to the living.

    So avoid mouth breathers and mouth droolers. Check!
