We've heard about car brain, this is its cousin, detached house brain.
Tall, wide, building, scary!! OoooOoOooOoOoh
If you think about it elevators are just vertical trains
passes blunt
Naw, that's escalators. Elevators are buses.
Perhaps more specifically, escalators are funicular?
Yes
I mean it's absolutely nuts how many people this building holds. I'm guessing that the majority of towns across the majority of the US land area have populations smaller than this one building. Probably likewise throughout most of Europe. The population density of this building is crazy. 115/km^2 (apparently the building is 260km^2)
Your math is wrong. 260km^2 would mean 10 miles long and 10 miles wide.
Unless you count floor space, but that's not how population density is measured.
And even then, 115/km^2 means every person would have 2 football fields of space.
A bit defensive there…. It’s quite literally a harmless meme
Also, how does this have anything to do with house brain? Most hotels and apartment buildings don’t even come close to the sizes of some of these massive ones in China.
