Humanity is fucked when you can buy death from a vending machine. Where are the vodka vending machines? No? Just things to kill people.

Did you know you can just buy a vending machine and put whatever you want in it? Vodka, blunts, heroin, Irn Bru, anything.

Where can I buy a vending machine? Is there a vending machine selling vending machines I can visit?

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

Not quite, but vending.com has vending machines. I think they run a few thousand each, so they're not exactly cheap...

Cigarette vending machines used to be quite common. Even today, there are some alcohol vending machines in controlled areas (some fancy hotels have 24/7 vending machines stocked with a particular brand of champagne bottles).

A hotel I stayed at recently had a vending machine filled with beer and wine. It just worked with the honour system, no ID check or whatever.

It was fairly nicely priced too, especially for a hotel.

Humanity or America?

[–] Zier@fedia.io 2 points 20 hours ago

Humanity. People outside the USA love to copy the USA because they think it's cool. Yet they copy the uncool things.

Vodka kills a lot of people
