    Food Dispenser. Vending Machine.

    Not an ATM.

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

    It's farmed

    Not caught in the wild

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

    Doesn't taste like it's supposed to.

    While I am as pro-planet as anyone, I have a sneaking suspicion there would be no "over farming" if capitalism didn't throw away 3 for ever 1 they sell.

    Instead of making us eat fish that tastes like, hmm, not sure anymore, they should instead make fines for wasting.

    Where do you live that salmon is so cheap they can afford to throw away 3 for every 1 they sell? Around here when they have stockpiles about to expire they run a deep discount and it's still more expensive per kg than meat from things with legs.

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

    There's something like this near me. It's not a vending machine but just a freezer container where you can take stuff and self-service the check-out using a phone. It's not cheaper than in the stores, but I guess it's more fresh, since they load it straight from the ships.

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

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

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

    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.

    Well not all ATMs allow deposits and the ones that don't, generally don't take cash in any form any way, only card (and then give out cash)

    If you see salmon as a currency, then this could be a withdraw-only salmon ATM

    If they sold trout I'd call it an ATM. This is an ASM at best.

    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).

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