Treasure Truck

The Treasure Truck is a service offered to users of the Amazon.com app, which offers users a discounted daily deal.[1] The service consists of a fleet of 34 vehicles in 32 major cities located in the United States and United Kingdom. The first Treasure Truck was released in Amazon's hometown of Seattle in June 2015.[2] The trucks offer one item that changes daily which customers order using the Amazon app and come to a designated pick-up spot.[3] As part of a holiday promotion, Seattle Seahawks player Marshawn Lynch drove the Treasure Truck around Seattle in December 2016 selling a limited-edition beast-mode Echo.[4] In December 2017, two cities in the United Kingdom became the first international locations for the Treasure Truck program.[5] The art on each of the trucks is unique and hand-drawn by Kyler Martz.[6] Each Treasure Truck is active up to 5 days per week.[7]

gollark: Not unsafe in the sense that it'll do undefined behaviour probably, just that you can't statically be sure it only contains the type you want.
gollark: It's a wildly unsafe and slow "generic", and you can write fast code with generics. More so than if you have to unsafely typecast any time you want a data structure other than the 3 built-in ones.
gollark: (I know they seem to be working on them now, but it's after years of denying they were necessary or good)
gollark: Go as in golang? In which case, mandatory lol no generics.
gollark: Also sort of various mesh overlay network things like yggdrasil/cjdns.
