Old Man: *walking away*
*vending machine explodes into pieces*
Old Man: "What the-?"
*"400 PARTS WORK TOGETHER"*

[Magein]

Imagine getting cash and turning around and The machine just blows up just for a sience video

[woopygoman]

Everytime the "CGI dismantling" happens I burst out laughing it's just too funny for words

[Jason-tyds]

love these how do machines work videos. Make more! also subbed

[abelashenafi]

What an Amazing and Awesome Explanation. Thanks

[thetaai]

Imagine walking away from an atm and it suddenly explodes

[maartenverhaegen]

Anyone else think this is narrated WAY too dramatically?

[MrBreada]

Interesting how ATMs work. But how do I STEAL from them?

[Aggresivestrategy]

animator is showing off his skills lmao

[depth]

at 2:06 he's just chilling there but there's money in the dispenser

[valshaped]

No mention of how ATM skimming has gone up by over 500% in the last few months, only an explaination of how the money is stored in a Fox Box

[yadavparas]

best videos for understand how it works?

[thelusogerman]

If thses look complicated imagine "multibancos" that let you deposit, buy train tickets, pay phone charges, and more

Gotta love portuguese inventions💪🇵🇹

[Deltanova]

it's funny when you got to realize that this high security is just made for "paper"

[alansun]

It comes with a small processing fee. A lot of parts working together.

[prajullas]

All that armory and people still steal the ATM itself.

[MysticM]

100% he's going to buy a snack from the vending machine next to him and it'll explode

[FreakFizzer]

They don't have to keep their card inserted when using the ATM? In the UK we have to keep the card in it, not just slide it in and out

[redsquirrelftw]

2:10 notify.wav from windows 98 ... yeah I'm a nerd. I've seen that machine model in person too, it really uses that sound!

[robdavy]

Talk about dumbing things down... No mention of the communication with the bank? Makes it sound as if the machine checks the card for your balance, not checking with the bank as it actually does. Instead they make the mechanism sound super dramatic, when that's not even the interesting/complicated part
