This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Wrong fish, it's supposed to be Automated Trout Machine
it used to be trout, they had to pivot to salmon for supply chain reasons
Almost the same fish tbh
Nah, trout is white on the inside
Steelhead trout is pink.
Maybe the salmon is willing to go ass to mouth?
Does it work in reverse too: insert salmon, get cash?
If I learned anything from playing MMORPGs, yes.
Reminds me of when my mate deposited his kebab in a bank machine so he could withdraw it when sober.
did it work?
He got a warning letter instead of his doner back.
noted, doner kebab is not fungible
Non-Fungible Takeaway
It's an atm, it just dispenses equivalent amounts of salmon that you previously stored in there.
So yes? Because cash ATMs also work in reverse: you can insert cash and it will show up in your bank account.
Not all of them do
And yet I don't see any Norwegian on the atm
Not an ATM, because it does not deal money, which is what a Teller does.
Maybe it also does magic tricks without ever speaking. That's what Teller does.
Maybe it delivers stories.
While nontraditional, it is currency. My adderall dealer accepts cash, btc, skittles, and norwegian salmon fillets.
It's farmed
Not caught in the wild
That's a good thing for salmon. We're grossly overfishing wild salmon. Plus, you could use this to make sushi.
Doesn't taste like it's supposed to.
While I am as pro-planet as anyone, I have a sneaking suspicion there would be no "over farming" if capitalism didn't throw away 3 for ever 1 they sell.
Instead of making us eat fish that tastes like, hmm, not sure anymore, they should instead make fines for wasting.
Where do you live that salmon is so cheap they can afford to throw away 3 for every 1 they sell? Around here when they have stockpiles about to expire they run a deep discount and it's still more expensive per kg than meat from things with legs.
I used to work in salmon farming
It's a disgraceful industry and I got out as soon as I possibly could
There's something like this near me. It's not a vending machine but just a freezer container where you can take stuff and self-service the check-out using a phone. It's not cheaper than in the stores, but I guess it's more fresh, since they load it straight from the ships.
If this is your thumb, OP, my wife has the same thumb as you.
It’s not! But say hi to your wife and her thumb!
👍👋😊
Please remember it's my turn with the thumb next month. I need it for the new GTA game.
lol what, what did I miss here? Thumb in GTA VI?
