    That machine feels anomalous somehow. Like it only dispenses drinks that never existed or something.

        Like the kind of place you go in your dream when IRL your mouth is open and dry af, but you’re asleep and all you know is that you’re really thirsty. It’s a cursed vending machine, where no matter how much you drink, your thirst is never gone.

        Like the opposite of “the bathroom” dream where you really need to pee.

    My dad had some powerful friends. They rented out an aquarium in Tampa for a wedding, and my family went. Because the place was completely empty, my parents just let me run where ever I want. I gotta tell you, that’s some real backrooms shit.

      they have nights at the aquarium at monterey bay in california. i’m not sure what they cost because i’m too lazy to look it up, but i’m sure you can throw enough money at them to give you a private night. the standard adults’ night at the aquarium sounds fun tho.

    This is so real. I got taken to so many MLM conferences and health/wealth events as a kid and this is 100% like the upstairs rooms we found to wait it out.

    My parents wouldn’t have gone there, but my little brother and I would’ve explored the shit out of places like this. Seeing someplace so empty would’ve triggered our imaginations, we’d probably end up pretending the room is actually full of stuff but it’s all invisible or something.
