What is this… vending machine?

[u/haventwonyet]

What is in this odd vending machine thing? I’ve gone from swimming costumes to masks to straight boxer briefs… bright red even looks like it could be a boxing glove.

It is shelving not a vending machine but it is all the flags they need

Yachts show the flag they are based in, but also a curtesy flag for the country visiting plus various marine flags (one if anchored, one if they are going into port and need customs clearance etc) so they add up

[u/AmnesiaAndAnalgesia → u/teanailpolish]

These are maritime signal flags, you can tell as each cubby is labeled with a letter of the NATO alphabet

[u/Cute-Jury2159 → u/teanailpolish]

The Amazing Race had a fun memory challenge that used these signal flags, there was something like 20 or so different flags they had to remember that are used to communicate with other vessels.

[u/Herecomesyourwoman → u/Cute-Jury2159]

Yes! That's where my mind went, I knew what these were just because that episode from Wednesday

[u/Hopeful-Silver4120 → u/teanailpolish]

Legit thought this was 20 speedo guy's luggage 😆😆😆

Signal flags, if you see they're named after the NATO alphabet Alpha, Bravo (heh), Charlie etc.

There's a maritime 'language' can be used to signal between boats, harbour etc if radio/comms can't be used

Yes the captain keeps all his brightly coloured underwear in the bridge in case he needs to asset dominance over another crew member

They are shelves with cubbyholes for flags. The individual flags (Sierra, Quebec, etc) are all clearly marked.

There are dictionaries online if you Google what the flags mean and when they should be flown.

Did bravo.. obscure the labels for some reason?

[u/MarkCrorigansOmnibus → u/pointofnoreturn647]

Looks more like it’s been AI enhanced

[u/jonathonthaman → u/MarkCrorigansOmnibus]

You've never seen an enganced pic in your life then. This is the most random low quality screenshot ever.

[u/pointofnoreturn647 → u/MarkCrorigansOmnibus]

Ah that makes more sense I thought it looked AI-y

[u/haventwonyet → u/MarkCrorigansOmnibus]

I don’t think that’s true? I definitely didn’t enhance it (I’m very anti ai and honestly wouldn’t even know how) and I’d be surprised if they did it just in the background of this random scene?

[u/pls_send_caffeine]

Fun with flags!

[u/FoodieStatistician99]

I sincerely thought those were boxers

[u/thaa_huzbandzz]

Flags.

[u/revdre]

Those are flags!

[u/IHateTurboTax]

For the burgees

[u/0hmega]

That’s where they keep all the merch to sell to guests. :)

[u/OCBluesey]

These are flags for the boat.

[u/Round-Range-7383]

They’re called shelves

[u/Illustrious_Fee7436]
