Vending machines have an ethereal vibe amongst them.

Nothing beats running into one in a random hallway, or somewhere outside; in a hotel next to an ice machine, or even in your local rec center beside a snack machine.

If theres one thing that unites us as humans, it's s vending machines, they're just ambiguous enough to be in congress buildings but not to ominous to be seen in highschools, colleges, and universities.

The nature of the vending machine can never be matched and I can totally see them outliving most of us.

I wouldnt be surprised if they end up on spaceships and space stations thousands of years into the future.
