THE MACHINE
NOBODY KNOWS WHO BUILT IT
“Somewhere online, somebody built a machine.
Nobody knew what it was for or how it worked.
People put numbers into it anyway.
The instructions were lost. The creator disappeared. The machine kept running.
People began feeding numbers into it. Coins started coming out.
The machine called the output Magic Money.
Years later, it is still running.”
DO NOT TURN IT OFF.

The instructions were lost
Nobody remembers what the buttons were supposed to do. People pressed them anyway.
Coins came out
Numbers went in. Glowing coins came out. The machine kept doing its thing.
It never stopped
Years later the screen is still blinking. Last reboot: never.

No company. No instructions. No off switch. Just a badly drawn machine that keeps producing coins.
