Mildly Interesting

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?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

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.

[–] ray@sh.itjust.works 35 points 2 weeks ago

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).

[–] seblin@lemmy.world 20 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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

[–] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 2 weeks ago

Uh, what do you think S$ means? Clearly, it is Salmon-Dollars.

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

My cat would totally accept it as payment.

That way, AFM machine isn't redundant. I like the way you think. This'll give pedants years of the same shit to talk about.

[–] daychilde@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

salmon deposits.

I just want to be very very clear that if you say this phrase out loud, you MUST. ARTICULATE. CAREFULLY.

Food Dispenser. Vending Machine.

Not an ATM.

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

These replace manual salmon tellers.

Wrong fish, it's supposed to be Automated Trout Machine

Maybe the salmon is willing to go ass to mouth?

[–] SoupBrick@pawb.social 30 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Can you check your salmon balance there too?

[–] pigup@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Checking: fish

Savings: fish

At least it's not a phish

How do i deposit my weekly salmon?

[–] neidu4@piefed.social 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

In the frying pan. With some lemon pepper and garlic.

Does it work in reverse too: insert salmon, get cash?

[–] EvilHankVenture@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

It's an atm, it just dispenses equivalent amounts of salmon that you previously stored in there.

Reminds me of when my mate deposited his kebab in a bank machine so he could withdraw it when sober.

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.

[–] skribe@piefed.social 4 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] Blackfeathr@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

There had to be least one (1) bear involved in the creation of this machine.

Until they swap salmon out with tuna, then it'd be correct

I've never been to Singapore, but I think vending machines should be common enough there that they wouldn't mistranslate it as ATM.

[–] wieson@feddit.org 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (4 children)

mistranslate

Americans when other dialects of English are allowed to do their own thing

I mean this with all sincerity that I wish I had one of these near me. Salmon is so damn good.

Not an ATM, because it does not deal money, which is what a Teller does.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 9 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Maybe it also does magic tricks without ever speaking. That's what Teller does.

And yet I don't see any Norwegian on the atm

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's farmed

Not caught in the wild

[–] droans@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

That's a good thing for salmon. We're grossly overfishing wild salmon. Plus, you could use this to make sushi.

If this is real I need one near me

[–] brem@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 2 weeks ago

since only the atlantic salmon can be farmed, most salmonid species cant be farmed, they have to be caught in the wild.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

If this is your thumb, OP, my wife has the same thumb as you.

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

It’s not! But say hi to your wife and her thumb!

Is the omega 3 really that far from the protein?
