If you want the final, terrifying piece of proof that machines are rapidly taking over the planet and we're all completely doomed, just head down to the sleepy English village of Clifton in Derbyshire.

As YouTuber TheModernIdiot discovered when he was passing through a car park outside the village pub, the local 'store' in Clifton is actually a huge, completely automated vending machine – selling everything from tea bags to breakfast cereals and essentials like milk and eggs.

The vending machine is supplied by villagevending.com and, according to their website, is one of four 'Speedy Shops' currently operating in Derbyshire.

The future is here, people, and it's terrifying.
