yoinked from corporate social media, the poster claiming that piles of these things are under every ATM (known in #Canada as a “bank machine,” where I have never not ever seen a flosser.) Is this symbolic convergence of #flosstodon with late capitalism a uniquely American thing? #usa

@mirijb2

I wonder if the flossers are for pulling out or checking for ATM card skimmers?

@alienghic that is a super creative thought. Thank you. I only use Vancouver inner city machines (live in the so-called downtown Eastside) and there would be no point in skimmers here as no one has any money to steal. Probably west side machines are piled high with flossers. I’ll check on the way to work next week.
