A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Kind of like the Japanese vending machines. I think those kind of thing are awesome (and practical if you need a fast bite) and would love to see them in America more.

Vending machines like this are reliant on foot traffic. It would be viable in some American cities, but the majority of the country is car dependent.

Of course we would have to fix that major issue with all of America. Car centric cities are simply terrible.

I'm in Tokyo right now and got 100% real orange juice squeezed in a vending machine. Every five seconds I just go "man America fucking SUCKS"

How different is that than buying 100% fruit juice from the supermarket? Like does it really taste different.

[–] mint@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

No but it juiced it for me and that's cool as hell
