A vending machine is a machine that dispenses items such as snacks, beverages, alcohol, cigarettes, lottery tickets to customers automatically, after the customer inserts currency or credit into the machine. The first modern vending machines were developed in England in the early 19th century and dispensed postcards.
The earliest known reference to a vending machine is in the work of Hero of Alexandria, a first-century AD Greek engineer and mathematician. His machine accepted a coin and then dispensed holy water. When the coin was deposited, it fell upon a pan attached to a lever. The lever opened a valve which let some water flow out. The pan continued to tilt with the weight of the coin until it fell off, at which point a counterweight snapped the lever up and turned off the valve.
Coin-operated machines that dispensed tobacco were being operated as early as 1615 in the taverns of England. The machines were portable and made of brass. An English bookseller, Richard Carlile, devised a newspaper dispensing machine for the dissemination of banned works in 1822. Simeon Denham was awarded British Patent no. 706 for his stamp dispensing machine in 1867, the first fully automatic vending machine.
When I sex you I wanna say goodbye
Instead I trust you I wanna say outloud
Then you're gonna rip my head off and die
It's the same everywhere you go, you know
Over coffee that I can't afford
With a smile for every single word
Waiting by a vending machine for four years
Waiting for something to happen
With eyes as dark as
Spending our days thinking of things to clean
It's bad to have too much energy like us
Cause no one will care to save you
We swapped our shoes and then out coats then our hats
We swapped our shoes and then out coats then our hats
We swapped our shoes and then out coats then our hats
