Ubiquitious surveillance: Using microdevices, identity technology and pattern recognition software it is not inconceivable that future environments will be 100% privacy-free. If this is not the standard situation but only occurs in some places, this sign	Stable strangelets: If strangelets are stable at zero pressure and have a positive charge, they can absorb ordinary matter and convert it into more strangelets. A great energy source, but also potentially a planet- or star-eater.	Nonstandard spacetime: A warning sign for black holes, event horizons, naked singularities and other spacetime engineering hazards. Of course, purists will point out that orbits around black holes are just as stable as around any other mass – they don’t s	Nanoparticle hazard: Whether nanoparticles are dangerous or not depends likely on their size, composition, surface properties and what system they get into. But it seems reasonable to have a marker for generic nanoparticle problems.	Motivation hazard: As we learn to affect our brains better there is an increased risk for addictions, to gain pleasure from something harmful or that we edit ourselves to like our current state no matter what. The poppy represents such motivation traps.	Memetic Hazard: A black lightbulb to represent really bad ideas.	Macroscale quantum system: Macroscale quantum systems are likely not personally dangerous, but interfering with them will of course disrupt whatever they are doing. Of course, just seeing the warning might be enough to decohere them. Some might interpret	Lack of Internet connectivity: Today a nuisance, tomorrow a serious problem and possibly even damage risk. As our exoselves become more and more dynamic and linked to our biological minds a loss of connectivity could cause breakups of our extended minds.
