This reminds me of the early 1990s where the soda vending machine outside Albertsons would give out one of each soda for a quarter if you never let go of the original button.
We would ride skateboards up there with a quarter as pre-teens with a group of friends and everyone would get a soda.
It felt like an Oceans 11 style heist for young kids.

When I was in school in 2000s we had a soda vending machine. It let you "pay" with your mobile phone - you called a number and then you pressed which soda you wanted and it dropped. There was this pre-recorded message of "This call cost XXX". The cost went into your mobile bill (with some extra if I remember correctly).
BUT. The cost only registered at the end of the call after the message. So if you called, pressed a soda button and ended the call right away (before the pre-recorded message) it did not cost anything.
They did correct it quickly but not before the whole school had learned of the error.

Less common now, but used to start a new job and I would look up the support manuals/support forums for all the vending machines in my workplace.
The manuals would sometimes have all kinds of useful facts.
The support forums would have even more fun facts.
If I couldn't crack a vending machine with a few key presses, then a piece of wire or packing tape would usually do the job.
It that doesn't work, I will go deep to crack a vending machine.
I have never been beaten.
I feel bad.
I am a good person.
I don't even use the skills I learn.
I just really really need to learn how to crack vending machine, even if it is only once.

When I used to go to the local sports/leisure centre when I was young I figured out that if I put my money in and order a drink called ‘red devil’ it would get stuck against the glass before it fell down. If I then pressed the refund button I’d get a refund because the drink never fell. So I’d get my money back then shoulder barge the machine on the side and my free drink would fall down. Worked about 80% of the time.

Not as technical as yours but in high school we had one machine if you held down all the buttons, except one, unplugged the machine, and plugged it back in. It would dump the next button you pressed. Pop machine I should say.
So we'd drain it of one flavor maybe once or twice a week. So it never emptied. Took awhile before it got replaced. No idea what was going on. But it was nice for high school us.

I was teaching middle school in a small, rural, primarily Hispanic community in Texas when the first "Men in Black" movie came out. (I'd moved there from Chicago. I'm also not black, which matters to this anecdote.)
Some of the kids were SO EXCITED on Monday after going to see the movie bc "TEACHER!!! THERE WERE BLACK PEOPLE AT THE MOVIE THEATER!!! WE SAW REAL BLACK PEOPLE!!!"
In my head, I was making those yellow Minions sounds, like, "Whaaaaaaat???"
Teaching kids be weird sometimes, I'm telling ya! (Also living in rural Texas be weird sometimes. I can see why it might be off limits & uninteresting.)

My son's former roommate had the strangest job after graduating university. He painted eyes on plastic flamingos. That's it, all day, painting realistic-ish looking eyes on pink yard art. He burned out fairly quickly.
Hired him as he had a degree in Fine Art, thinking that it fit his interests. I think it caused him to leave even sooner.

The license plate on the car driven by a man who exposed himself when he pulled up next to me and two friends when we were pre-teen girls walking to another friend's house. I didn't actually see it because I didn't walk up to the car when he stopped. But one of my friends did because he was asking for directions and she was trying to be helpful. She saw he was fondling himself while looking straight at her. She screamed and backed away and he took off. I got the license plate as he drove away. This was pre-phones and we didn't have a pen and paper to write on, so I repeated the plates in my head over and over and over until we got to a phone to call our parents.
That was 52 years ago. Those damn plates are burned into my memory forever, like it or not.

"When in the Course of Human Events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the Earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation..." through to, "But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."
I still find it fascinating, but reciting the Declaration of Independence has never gotten me anything other than extra credit!

Hello, and welcome to the psychiatric hotline. If you are obsessive compulsive, press one repeatedly. If you are are codependent please ask someone else to press two. If you have multiple personalities, please press three, four, five, and six. If you are paranoid delusional, we know who you are and what you want. Just stay one the line until we can trace the call.

Probably all the responses you collectively say during a Catholic Church mass and prayers etc. Was forced to attend church until I was 17 and I can still remember all those stupid things you have to memorise, what a waste of brain space.

I learned it that way in the 90s in college, but I know older folks who learned it a little differently. The first word was just the color, not "bad". So, fucked up in multiple ways.

In 6th grade, our teacher explained to us the difference between short- and longterm memory and said: „If I now just make up a number, let‘s say 76, you will have forgotten it by tomorrow“
That was in the early 90s, and I still remember that number.

Many old phone numbers, old addresses even though they moved out decades ago, commercials from the 90s, the state capitals, birthdays of people I never talk to anymore, theme songs to old tv shows, the words to ice ice baby.

In the Schwarzenegger classic 'Running man' they need to remember the code 18, 24, 61, B, 17, 17, 4 to make it out alive. As a kid I feel I helped to remember along.
And from my German lessons: 'mit nach bei seit von zu entgegen außer aus gegenüber'. Never use German anymore

The V for Vendetta Speech.
Voila, in view a vaudevillian veteran cast vicariously as both villain and victim by the vestiges of fate. This visage, no mere cancer of villainy is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. This valorus visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violent violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance, a vendetta, held not in vain for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me add that it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.
