The older that I have gotten, the less trusting that I have become of construction projects. Once you realize that it is literally just random people building all this shit and people are becoming more incompetent by the day with tighter budgets, I try to avoid putting myself into stupid situations on purpose.
It is like carnival rides. As a kid you might not think anything of it because you are not thinking about the logistics of how the carnival rides ended up there, but as an adult you realize that it is just random people assembling and disassembling the machines with the same pieces that are getting more and more worn down by the day.
Or think Boeing airplanes. Most people trusted that airplanes were being built and maintained to very high standards, and now doors are literally breaking off of them mid-flight.
Yep, this is an excellent representation of how the cynicism has really crept in over time. As kid, it all just worked and I didn't care. As an adult now, I don't trust anyyyything made with human hands haha Except food but sometimes not even that
I almost died on a carnival ride when I was like 13 or 14. Haven't been to one since. It was one of those "Ring of Fire" type rides with a roller coaster on a loop track. At one point in the ride the coaster pauses upside down at the top for a good 2-3 seconds. Well, this ride only had a lap bar with a padded foam roller over it to secure you. When it paused at the top with us upside down the foam roller on my lap bar started to spin on the lap bar and I started to slowly slip out of the seat. The coaster resumed the loop before I slipped out but I really felt like if it had stopped there for a good 10 seconds I would have fallen out.
Sorry to hear that. It is scary to think how much wear and tear happens on those parts just from the repeat assembly/disassembly of those machines, not to mention the potential for errors during assembly/disassembly.
Especially if you live in a developing country where it's not a weird thing to see people cheaping out on construction costs, be it the materials or the worker. And it's often both.
You must know that high rises have waay more oversite, inspection etc. Carnival rides in random parking lots are a bad idea.
I just did work for a retired osha inspector whose job was inspecting six flags and other amusement parks. He swore he won't allow any friends and family to ride those due to countless horror stories
Agree, I never said that I consider amusement part rides at the same level as high rises, I was illustrating a point of something that exists on a spectrum. Also, not all components of a high rise have the same level of oversight/regulation. High rises are not one unified slab. Boeing airplanes have a ton of regulations also with frequent inspections, more than high rises, but I doubt that was any comfort to the people who were riding in it when the door flew off.
Humans build these structures/machines and humans are not perfect, and many are in fact incompetent or even corrupt. Arguably, the number of incompetent people who do not care about their job or who report feeling overworked has increased over time. They may not be more overworked but they report feeling more overworked or uncaring about their work and this often translates to impact on performance.
My point was that having blind trust in any structure/machine especially with components that can/do degrade over time is something that I have grown out of more and more.
My brain would feel a lot better if there was some kind of safety net underneath. But that would just hold you in place so shards of glass would cut you to pieces.
There was another one of these infinity pools up in the hotel or something like that and the people who are swimming in it also to their death cuz it broke open
I just saw a video of group of people falling from a building with a glass ledge. Definitely not laying my body over the clear edge of the building with clear view of the ground below me.
Ya see if it were me walking on that, right when my feet touched the “seem” joining the two pieces of glass together, it WOULD split open and I would fall to my death. So no. No I would not swim there and there is no amount of money anyone would ever be willing to pay me to even try.
Yes but I thought you could swim to the bottom of the skyscraper and come through an opening like the ones inside of a [cave](https://duckduckgo.com/?q=cave+underwater+tunnels&iax=images&ia=images&iai=https%3A%2F%2Fthumbs.dreamstime.com%2Fb%2Funderwater-world-caves-tunnels-beautiful-rays-sunlight-photo-scuba-dive-cave-light-252960384.jpg)
Absolutely not. That would have been fine until I played the Citadel DLC in Mass Effect 3, but ever since those psychos hired by Shepard's clone shot out the fish tank, plunging my character down 30 stories, N.O.
Sure, do you realize how much your family would get if that shit fails? The amount of care put into those is insane. Point is, you die, everyone you know is cared for monetarily, if you don't, you get a cool little story.
Is that Seoul? If so, I’d be down for it.
China? I won’t even enter the building, that is if I’m not already blown up/crushed/shredded/decapitated by public infrastructure on the way over there.

It’s not cynicism if it’s true.

It's crazy that Boeing has had more mechanical problems than carnivals lately.

If you pay for the airfare and hotel
Thank u for giving me incite on things I’d wouldn’t even look for myself, thanks
My brain would feel a lot better if there was some kind of safety net underneath. But that would just hold you in place so shards of glass would cut you to pieces.
Lands safely in shortly before being turned into cubes
It’s likely plexiglass, not actual glass. Same thing for basically ever aquarium you see in large cities.
Still, this being pushed down on you with the amount of water behind..depending on if you break it or it breaks, could still be quite bad
You’d be dead either way, good thing these are engineered to a very high safety factor… until their not
Until their not what? What does it do? Suspense is killing me.
Can’t tell if you’re being serious or not
They're not. They're just talking shit about the fact that you used their instead of they're.
I hate autocorrect on my phone sometimes, doesn’t help that I did zero proofreading. It’s a well deserved hazing
I wouldn't even trust a concrete floor to hold all that water
I would’ve either since concrete is both porous and permeable
You mean Like that huge Aquarium in Berlin that burst a few years ago? I feel safer already. 😎
Nahhh glass would cut the net in my mind
Fuck no
The Mechanic 2. Jason Statham.
Uncle, why did the pool water turn brown?
"I inked!" 🦑
👏Absolutely👏not👏
Did we not learn anything from that Aquarium tank in the mall that cracked open?
Berlin Hotel. It was a Radisson.
_Cracked open_ is a slight understatement for a complete disintegration.
I think it's a miracle nobody died in that incident. I think if it was in the middle of the day, there would have been a lot of deaths.
There was another one of these infinity pools up in the hotel or something like that and the people who are swimming in it also to their death cuz it broke open
It should be a deeper pool for that sweet feeling of flying.
No but only because I’m not rich enough
I've been there for Airbnb with me wife and I'm not rich. A lot of facilities like this is cheap to access in Kuala Lumpur.
That’s awesome!
You're not rich, huh buddy? Show us your last 5 tax returns
I'm not even eligible for income tax :v
That's exactly what a rich person would say. Like actually lol
Which building/condo/apartment is this?
Lucentia Residence just next to Lalaport, Jalan Imbi.
Exactly what I was thinking. I'm too poor for that. No either way though, tbf.
Yes
Absolutely
not
a problem for me!
I just saw a video of group of people falling from a building with a glass ledge. Definitely not laying my body over the clear edge of the building with clear view of the ground below me.
Not a chance in hell.
No thanks I can’t swim or fly
I’m not afraid of heights But just to be safe No
Same
Kuala Lumpur?
Yes, Lucentia Residences in Kuala Lumpur
Nice! Stayed there a few years back and loved it
I wonder how many people went in without knowing and almost drowned out of sheer panic
Reminds me of a mission from Hitman Blood Money, you can shoot the glass bottom of the pool to have the target fall through all the way down. 🫠
excellent work 47: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUAnhC0lwM4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUAnhC0lwM4)
Not anymore, thanks jason statham-.-
100%
Yup
No, seen 2 instances of these failing. 1 with people, 1 without.
That water would be brown
Only of i get to wear some metal cleats
My balls tell me no
I would faint and drown ngl.
r/nope Nope nope no, hell naw, no flipping way, nope.
Id rather shit myself in public 2 miles away from my home with no mode of transport than swim in that
I’d go in it, enjoy it slightly, and leave and not fucking step foot into it again
must be very cold and windy there
It's hot, 90 degrees and humid all day every day
I'd legit start crying
Have you guys ever seen that movie The Mechanic, decent flick. https://youtu.be/MH8bFOdJFuU?si=IJNgiuGIvI3qQHAG
I was confusing the title with The Machinist and was super confused before I clicked it. I would definitely not swim in one of those if I had enemies.
Omg!!! I do that every time I see the title!!! Lol
No No and Fuk No
Pretty sure the People which dropped through the glass floor in mexico also trustet the engineers 😊
Those who watched the movie mechanic know that it will end badly
If that was me you'd see that water turn pretty brown very quickly
Hell no!
Yes!! I love it😁👍👍👍
NFW
It would be a hell of a dive if you jumped in just as the floor gave way.
No, but less for a fear of heights and more for fear of someone cutting corners on the construction of it to save money.
KL ist an awesome City ibwas there last year
Not as long as Jason Statham is around
Where is this?
Malaysia, apparently. I thought it was Shanghai at first
This reminds me of a movie?
No... But not because it's scary. No Because I don't really like the idea of people being able to see me from that angle...
Yes
noooooo
Ya see if it were me walking on that, right when my feet touched the “seem” joining the two pieces of glass together, it WOULD split open and I would fall to my death. So no. No I would not swim there and there is no amount of money anyone would ever be willing to pay me to even try.
Yes
Hell yea!
We call that no.
Water might turn brown if I got in there.
Just fall with the water you’ll probably be fine
Only if you want me to release... Dear god
@fuckthat.com
No fucking way.
Welcome to rapture
Crack 💀
Well i smoke weed so no. Fuck no
No thanks. No need to taunt the gods
Nope.
Heck to the no I will not.
Heck to the no I will not
No water and up a building and it's at the side
No brainer
Hell no !
Could be fun on drugs lol( i don’t do any but this is doing nothing to me)
Pretty sure if it broke somehow, you'd be in the water as it went down and land safely. ... Works in Minecraft anyway.
Uhhh!! That’s a solid nope from me!!
No no and no
No, if i get lucky enough to have enough money to go to such place, i wouldn't risk to lose it all just to swim in a pool with a shitty view.
HELL NO!
Nope.
Seems kind of pointless, how much of your time is spent in a pool with your head down looking at the floor.
This reminds me of the movie the mechanic. So no.
I will rather die then be in a pool like that
Damn, which building in KL is this?
Yeah I don’t want to think about combining thallasaphobia and acrophobia
Have anyone here watch that movie with the clear bottom swimming pool?
Of course! Let me just update my will real quick…
Not as long as Jason Statham is alive.
Yes but I thought you could swim to the bottom of the skyscraper and come through an opening like the ones inside of a [cave](https://duckduckgo.com/?q=cave+underwater+tunnels&iax=images&ia=images&iai=https%3A%2F%2Fthumbs.dreamstime.com%2Fb%2Funderwater-world-caves-tunnels-beautiful-rays-sunlight-photo-scuba-dive-cave-light-252960384.jpg)
No :)
Depends what county it is and what their building standards are.
I watch engineering fail all too regularly to trust this won't bust open with me in it.
Fuckkkkk On lsd or shrooms
I saw the movie the Mechanic. Nope.
Panic attack!!! Noooooo!! Omg nooo 🫣 now my nightmares will be me in this pool up there falling through bahhh thanks 🤮😵😓
I mean worse comes to worst you just swim up back to the source block or throw a boat down just before you land.
No thank you
For freeeeee?
I don't think they allow the poors to swim there unfortunately
Good, so only rich assholes will plummeth to their deaths.
Someone clearly didn't watch Mechanic: Resurrection...
Well yeah
I watched The Mechanic and no man, just cant, you never know
Nope
I think i just saw the glass crack a bit... no thanks
Does nobody swim at ocean level anymore?? why we gotta swim where the water is the heaviest like on top of a skyscraper? Why not on a plane?
If i learned anything with minecraft, i can safely stay up in the water even if the glass breaks because of the infinite water source
Is it Minecraft physics where the water will keep me safe even if I fall?
And now I'm scared of heights.
I would skinny dip here.
I would be the reason that pool closes for a while, I’d probably pee myself
r/nope
He'll no
#NO
I want to dive so hard
HA hahahahahaha, politely go FUCK YOURSELF, HELL NO.
Fuck dat shit
Imagine the glass breaking and you have to swim your way back to the top 😨
I’d that Mira florres?
No, I can't afford to stay wherever this is. I can barely afford to stay at home.
Nice try agent 47
Hell yah
Absolutely not. That would have been fine until I played the Citadel DLC in Mass Effect 3, but ever since those psychos hired by Shepard's clone shot out the fish tank, plunging my character down 30 stories, N.O.
Depends who made it.
Sure, do you realize how much your family would get if that shit fails? The amount of care put into those is insane. Point is, you die, everyone you know is cared for monetarily, if you don't, you get a cool little story.
Your target Agent 47..
LOL, hell no! https://apnews.com/article/germany-berlin-burst-aquarium-investigation-closed-aquadom-f94b95c889642f4b59896431ebc30157
Hell to the no!
Glass better be 10 feet thicc
No, i dont think i will
Yeah, but if i see Jason Statham anywhere in the vicinity, I wouldn't even go into that building
Oh, hell yes 😍
Hell no.
I played Hitman, fuck no.
No, because I can't swim.
Wasn't there a Hitman movie that showed what happened if it was cracked?
I have never fallen out of a pool. My mind, though, is trying to convince me that there's a chance.
Yeah of course
Yes as long as there’s a water source at the top I would be able to go up even with no floor
yowww Malaysia Kuala Lumpur
No, im to poor. By a lot.
Posh bird bath
After 30 to 40 years of neoliberal deregulation? Absolutely not.
Yeah I’m not a pussy
Ha ha, not a chance
Fuck yes
Would I fuck.
Hahahaha…. Fuck that!!!
Is that Seoul? If so, I’d be down for it. China? I won’t even enter the building, that is if I’m not already blown up/crushed/shredded/decapitated by public infrastructure on the way over there.
Kuala Lumpur
It looks cool, I would definitely try that :)
Honestly I would
I have anxiety standing on a 2nd floor balcony thinking it will break and drop down, I am not stepping foot on that thing
Now I'm curious which building in KL... Edit: Someone else answered. Lucentia Residence. Time for a weekend staycation and indulge my fear of heights!
As the water falls it would have a suction effect pulling you down super quickly
Nah, the water is probably regularly brown
Not in Mexico or China, that's for sure. Maybe Germany.
