Remember when RoboCop dispensed bullets to anyone that did not show ID?

A society that wants to be a war zone

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago

It's like society wants to be all the fucking worst parts of Mega Man Battle Network

What happens if the building with this vending machine catches fire?

Or if someone throws a molitov cocktail at it?

I agree with Chirs Rock that you shouldn't worry so much about regulating guns as much as regulating ammunition. This was a terrible idea.

luckily we have this cybersecurity export to get that info

Ok, how about no bullet vending machines because that’s obviously dystopian and if you desperately need bullets and can’t wait to get to a gun shop you have bigger issues

Surge pricing.

Can't wait for single use, plastic, vending machine guns ala Cyberpunk 2077.

Will they market them to kids like cigarettes?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Does it print ir inject them itself to replenish its own stock?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago

Won't anyone think of the gun owners that have social anxiety that can't bear to look the guy at the gun shop in the eye and don't have the time to wait for an online order because IVE GOT TO DO IT TONIGHT IF I DON'T DO IT TONIGHT ITS NEVER GONNA HAPPEN

America is the stupidest damn place that has ever existed

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (3 children)

To be fair, England also exists

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

England still claims 10% of American stupidity as debt service.

I find it far less disturbing.

Yeah looking at the history it's very problematic, but England has always retained a some sense of.. morality. Fuck monarchy and all, but I find it very challenging to imagine the UK going as insane as the US is currently.

Like when you read shit like this, I know who I favour historically:https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Bamber_Bridge

Eh..... agree to disagree. Racism is far more mask off, and transpeople are attacked far more...

I will give credit that Boris Johnson's cult fizzled out when it became obvious he fucked up, Trump's is still going strong even after the MILLIONS his botching of Covid snuffed out

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

At least we didn’t even consider bullet vending machines or drive through liquor stores.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Drive thru bullet stores?

Leave your lights on for us, before you turn them off.
