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?

Look, I'm all for whimsy but let's be honest with ourselves, this is clearly a vending machine and not an ATM. It doesn't even take cash, let alone allow salmon deposits.
Fake outrage aside, this whips and I dunno who's out here buying 200 gram portions of frozen salmon after midnight, but they seem fun.
I agree, this isn't an ATM. It's an automated machine, but it doesn't provide any of the same services as a bank teller. It should instead be called an AFM (automated fishmonger machine).
salmon deposits.
I just want to be very very clear that if you say this phrase out loud, you MUST. ARTICULATE. CAREFULLY.
AFM - Automatic fish monger
FTM - Fish Transaction Machine
Can you be 100% certain that someone doesn't consider salmon as currency? Since the automated teller machine is for giving out currency after all
My cat would totally accept it as payment.
Uh, what do you think S$ means? Clearly, it is Salmon-Dollars.
since only the atlantic salmon can be farmed, most salmonid species cant be farmed, they have to be caught in the wild.
NORWEGIAN SALMON ASS TO MOUTH
Bass to Trout
ESPRESSO NUT TO BUTT, no no I meant ~~nut~~ bean two girls and one cup! Wait no Taylor Farms to ~~toilet~~ table--by the restroom!
I've never been to Singapore, but I think vending machines should be common enough there that they wouldn't mistranslate it as ATM.
mistranslate
Americans when other dialects of English are allowed to do their own thing
Can you check your salmon balance there too?
Checking: fish
Savings: fish
Until they swap salmon out with tuna, then it'd be correct
There are real? This was a plot point on The Great North and I thought it was something they made up, like cold weather and Alanis Morrisette.
It's real. Seen them, but never felt compelled to use one. There was one outside a small convenience store near where I live. I haven't seen any for years though.
There had to be least one (1) bear involved in the creation of this machine.
How do i deposit my weekly salmon?
In the frying pan. With some lemon pepper and garlic.
I mean this with all sincerity that I wish I had one of these near me. Salmon is so damn good.
Is the omega 3 really that far from the protein?
Yes but the sustainable is closer to the head
Not closer than the butt, that's for sure.
god I love the pacific NW
I'm confused, since neither Singapore nor Norway are in the Pac NW
thats right!
but the salmon are!
This is in the city of Singapore, British Columbia, Canada.
You probably never heard of it because it didn't exists.
ASM: Automated Salmonoid Machine
Salmon to Mouth to ass!!!!
It's the finale for my fish-based-erotica-paradoy of "Requiem for a dream"...

Who's your spawnsor for publishing?
Pangolin Parblushers
Is it true they pay on a fixed scale?
If this is real I need one near me
Don't tell the Japanese, they'll make one that sells Salmon wrapped in used panties!!!
Seriously, the vending machines in Japan are outrageous & abundant in both amount & variety.
