    “Welcome to the Circus of Values!”

    Previously, these vending machines likely sold more appropriate items for the public until the Civil War hit Rapture. Then, the inclusion of ammunition and healing materials would make them very convenient.

    yea

    The company says that their vending machines have “built-in AI technology, card scanning capability and facial recognition software.”

    Lmao. By the way, the machines are only in a couple of deep red states right now. You know, states with virtually no gun control laws and you can buy ammo without any sort of hoops to jump through.

    This machine basically exists solely as red meat for conservatives because it’s just a ridiculous concept, and they will defend it uncritically even if they’re being charged 5x than if they just bought a box at a gun store because it uses some LLM to talk to you

    Interior: non descript American grocery store

    A huge line of various American citizen tropes, incl. cowboy, New England longshoremen, Hawaiian shirt tourist, old west prospector, Wall St stock broker, high school jock in letterman jacket, large woman in mobility scooter, hippie in tie dye shirt, biker, LA socialite with Chihuahua in a purse, Amish, etc etc all looking annoyed standing behind an old Abe Simpson-esque man holding up the line by paying for his daily $50 worth of ammo in dimes.
