You can tell this is from 2017. Who today can afford lose a whole fish to tape to an ATM?

This man is for sure taping his own catches. Bunbury's just like that.

"If you give a man a fish, he'll tape it to a broken ATM in protest. If you teach a man to fish, he'll tape fish to lots of broken ATMs in protest." - the wisdom of the elder humans

What makes you think he didn't just go out and catch it?

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

I mean, he could, but it seems like a waste considering its high monetary value.

Do their wallets have a pocket for vinegar, though?

..is a brand new sentence 😄

You didn't need to cross out Troy Buswell's name, he's a larrikin politician from Perth who does shit like this and has a funny social media profile.

How does the fish make them to come and fix them?

[–] markovs_gun@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago

The stench and biohazard. A non-functional ATM isn't an emergency because it won't get more broken just sitting there. An ATM with a fish taped to it is an emergency because the longer it sits there the worse the smell gets and the more disgusting the ATM gets as the fish decays. Plus more people will go out of their way to complain about an ATM with a rotting fish taped to it than they will about one that simply isn't working.

It's like drawing penises around potholes
