@th3f4ult I like #PhoneBooths.

  • not just the movie #PhoneBooth, but like the iconic #TelH78 (but I can also accept the #TelH90
    • Only disadvantage is that they are too small for a wheelchair so the #TelHb82 was created.

Personally, I want that classic German Phone Booth back, but better as in *
#Videocalling* and #FileTransfer and being useable as a #Phone with one's own #SIM card and having an #eSIM #VendingMachine to quickly buy #eSIMs on a SIM Card or change them around.

  • Ideally add like a "bus shelter" or "rest stop" kind of setup around it with #FreeWiFi (#Freifunk)...

[The WSJ] Let AI Run [Their] Office Vending Machine. It Lost Hundreds Of Dollars.
Anthropic’s Claude ran a snack operation in the WSJ newsroom. It gave away a free PlayStation, ordered a live fish—and taught us lessons about the future of AI agents.

Intentionally Wes Anderson
I don't often post photos from exhibitions and galleries but the #WesAnderson show at the Design Museum is very photogenic. These vending machines are from Asteroid City. I couldn't include the Real Estate machine.

A row of five vintage-style vending machines against a dark red wall. From left to right: an olive green cocktail machine labeled 'MARTINI' with retro photos; an orange coffee machine showing different coffee options; a beige ammunition machine with stacked rows of bullets; a pink candy machine with a display window of various candy bars; and a pale green snacks machine filled with packaged snacks. Each machine has a header label identifying its contents.

As a followup to this I can say that a used outdoor tobacco vending machine costs ~ €3,5k + shipping (which is also triple digits since they have to be ratchet-strapped to a pallet and driven in a truck and can't just be put on a trolley out of the rear of a parcel truck)...

So that's a bummer...

Man, this thing is creepy. Those teeth! A mutant clown vending machine seen today at an antique mall.

#creepyclowns #clown #vendingmachine #antiques #antiqueshopping #creepy

A creepy clown vending machine (?) seen at an antique mall. There is a small pointed red hat on top containing the lock. The whole thing is rather conical, like a thimble or jello mold. The upper half is clear plastic with painted on eyes and a glued on red ball nose. The lower half is yellow and red and strangely fluted, as though the lower part of the clown's face is knitted. There is a gaping, smiling mouth where a gumball or prize might fall out. The upper part of the mouth has a straight, white line of teeth that is rather distrubing. The vertical coin slot is to the left of the mouth.

In a stunning display of technologic prowess, our beloved artificial intelligence was outsmarted by a vending machine 🤖🥤. Apparently, the machine whispered "403 Forbidden" sweet nothings until the just gave up and emptied its snack guts 🍫🍬. must be so proud of its avant-garde model 🙄.

I haven't used a vending machine in 5+ years.

I am in the hospital and decided to get myself a treat after a hard day. Well, I found a vending machine containing snacks!

The only one I can have (because of my asshole tummy) is Bounty.

This was the result.

...

I guess I'll just go fuck myself then.

#VendingMachine #CandyOrGTFO #FuckYouInParticular

A 45 degree photo of a vending machine's window display many unhealthy treats. In the approximate centre is the selected Bounty; a squishy chocolate and coconut affair.

The rails turned and stopped. The treat didn't fall; merely hanging precariously on the edge.

I am sad now I've over spent on a candy bar I didn't get.
