The Wild World of Vending Machines

The Wild World of Vending Machines | Singularity Hub: "Modern technology. Ain’t it grand? The machines spawned by our collective ingenuity have made our lives longer and better. They’ve made our lives easier and allowed us to do tasks faster. But every so often, you find technology that makes you scratch your head and ask…WTF?!

Here’s the twist: these aren’t vending machines that simply provide you with snacks and soft drinks. Oh no! People have recently taken these simple machines and outfitted them to provide a wide variety of strange things you didn’t know you needed on the go. So go ahead and have a chuckle.
