Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

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

[–] EvilHankVenture@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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

So yes? Because cash ATMs also work in reverse: you can insert cash and it will show up in your bank account.

Not? Then what are they supposed to do other than converting digital and cash money?

A lot of them only work one way, cash withdrawal only, no depositing functionality is made into it. It's very common in Asia.

I don't think I've ever run into those here in the Netherlands. Perhaps it's common enough to withdraw and deposit cash here, and it's uncommon to deposit cash in some Asian countries? Maybe there's random laws against things I don't know of, I wouldn't be surprised if we require ATMs to work both ways here even if people rarely use them 🤷‍♂️

If I learned anything from playing MMORPGs, yes.

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

He got a warning letter instead of his doner back.

noted, doner kebab is not fungible
