@hannah this shit is just stupid and must go

@hannah@posts.rat.pictures the wisdom of the ancients is truly lost to us

@hannah@posts.rat.pictures tbf, it looks like it might have a glass window but it's just broken and covered up. Though that could also be a reflection

@hannah
Maybe a camera inside and a monitor on the outside

@hannah I got it! installing a camera inside the fridge and a lcd streaming the inside to the customers

@hannah "the best parts of shopping online but in person" dkfjhfjh

@hannah@posts.rat.pictures the whole idea of these things is so insidious.

@hannah
Maybe an AI Chatbot?

@hannah you know what would be the best of technology, traceability, and energy savings?

1 absolutely massive windowed vending machine spanning the whole gamut of the fridge.

@hannah Like filming the insides and putting a display on the outside. The advantage of that approach is that it can include AI.

@hannah *internal screaming reaches inaudible pitch*

@hannah real omega mart vibes

@hannah I guess just "opening the door and having a look", is frowned upon?

@hannah CAPITALISM BREEDS INNOVATION! /s

@hannah oh god I hate those things. They've got cameras on them for watching people's eye movements. aaaaa

[not serious]

Maybe... each store could have a "backup LCD screen", with several cameras on the back.

And a mechanism to easily replace a non-working screen with that backup LCD screen.

Additional cameras on the front could track the perspective of the viewer and apply a perspective correction, to emulate depth.

@hannah Make every shopper wear an Oculus Rift, problem solved

@hannah You mean like a 8K High Def short throw smart projector?

@hannah this quote is insane it literally fails at doing what each has to offer 😭​
