No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

We're trying to get away from wrapping everything in plastic film.

That's not a factor, there are a good selection of cellophane-like materials that are biodegradable

Sometimes those vending machines are very unsanitary and would not pass health regulations here in the US.

There are a lot of cool vending machines in Japan, but the food ones are usually gross.

Popcorn seems like the simplest to me. Saw one in a subway in Buenos Aires once. Its so cheap and once it pops, the smell sells itself

Americans would just crush themselves to death on them

I don't trust vending machines anymore. I barely used them ever but over the years I got moldy food a couple times and a bunch of times the thing gets stuck and I end up not getting what I paid for. fool me once, shame on, shame on you... fool me, can't get fooled again

I will say while I deeply agree that we don't have a cool vendung machine American identity...

My mall has vending machines for cotton candy that will make shapes, a vending machine for hijabs and other covers, a vending machine for medication and beauty products, a vending machine for umbrellas and a vending machine for weed.

I'd rather just have curry and hot chocolate but hey... Its something.

Is this cool because it has Japan signs? Has it any more features than US machines? Or US has no vending machines at all?

[โ€“] Soulg@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

This vending machine is serving good that comes out already heated/ at the very least warmed. It's not just bags of chips

Food without a human guarded? Free meal?

ยฅ380 for yaki onigiri. That better not just be for one

[โ€“] weew@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

That looks more like a hot vending machine

CANNED BREAD

Since you mentioned it, I'm obligated to link this clip.

I saw an orange juice machine but it had a stupid fancy touchscreen and was out of order.

I feel like there's potential in this if you avoid the temptation to go with a complicated touchscreen and instead just keep everything as mechanical as possible
