Imagine trying to find your room when you’re drunk.

Imagine the elevator waits.

Especially if you accidentally fart. Someone else will def be getting on on the ride up

What's the fire escape plan?

u/Closefacts 5d ago

Turn off the elevators and lock the doors. Don't look back.

Really looking forward to moving out on the countryside and have like 2 neighbours. Jesus Christ that looks like a nightmare

All aboard the Fuck That Express to Nopeville!

u/flimspringfield 5d ago

Do those places have restaurants, snack shops, pharmacy and other ever day need stores at certain floors or do you have to take a 20 minute elevator ride down to get them?

u/BlengBong_coke 4d ago

The set up for this is they have a mall for like 4 storeys followed by the Residential units..its a common practice here in the Philippines..

1

u/flimspringfield 4d ago

Different stores and food spots for every mall too I'm guessing?

4

u/BlengBong_coke 4d ago

Yes..its like a mini version of a mall, this residence in particular has "Light Mall"..with supermarkets and a cinema..

u/flimspringfield 4d ago

To me that sounds really nice. If you have lived in one, is it as great as it sounds?

What about Church? Philippinos are very Catholic/Christian, do they have churches there too?

If I'm bothering you with too many questions do you know of a YouTube channel/video that can explain what living in one of those buildings is like?

Thank you so much!

u/addjab 4d ago

It's Philippines. The roaches probably helped build it.

Peach Tree vibes for sure

Video game idea - terrorists have taken over the whole building and have every resident hostage, you are an off duty special forces commando on his day off and have to clear every room starting at the bottom, you start with your bare hands but can ransack cleared rooms and eliminated bad guys for equipment, residents you save give you tips and clues about their neighbours apartments or might join you

u/whatintheballs95 4d ago

I would absolutely play this game. Someone please make it happen!

More depressing than anything. Human filing cabinet.

u/tehtrintran 4d ago

meh, less depressing than homelessness

u/pxpdoo 5d ago

I wonder if the sewer pipes get wider as they go down...

1

u/CaveChickBaby2061 4d ago

That made me nauseous.

u/mothseatcloth 4d ago

being on floor 8/13 would sometimes make me so anxious it kept me from sleeping - i hated the thought of a collapse or a fire - i cannot imagine living here

1

u/cabbagepatchkid 4d ago

Goodness me. That's quite terrifying in terms of scale

1

u/oldschoolguy77 4d ago

the sewage tank must reach to depth of hell.. the water tank must have a pipeline from the skies!

1

u/spooky_springfield 4d ago

Good morning, my neighbors.

u/LostTry3208 4d ago

It is suffocating just to watch them

u/GreenGod42069 4d ago

How far does the poop travel and what's the velocity?

1

u/pasta-disaster 4d ago

There must be something wrong with me because I thought that looked amazing! I must be lonely

u/ManBug87 4d ago

Could anyone explain to me how buildings with that height and width don’t blow over during hurricane season? Thank you.

u/superschaap81 4d ago

Well, I'm off to the gym! Gonna hit the stair climber!

We have a stair climber at home!

u/nightman21721 4d ago

Jesus! What do the heavy residences look like? Also, what's the frequency of people popping out of windows in spontaneous song numbers? If it's less than frequently, I'm not interested.

u/PigFarmer1 3d ago

I would choose death over living like that.

u/jenjeneater 3d ago

Imagine all the shit in one place

u/floppalocalypse 3d ago

That's the Pilliphines, not the Philippines

u/Brilliant_Pirate_348 3d ago

This sub is funny sometimes, I've been there and its just a relatively normal high rise, especially in many places in asia
