ok

>>10233983
so i've come to the conclusion that every floor is about 5 acres

you fucking retards

>>10233983
>Dimensions of a endless building
Infinity, necessarily.

>>10234001
OP contradicts himself by also saying 947 million people live in it, so it's not endless, then calls it practically endless, then says it's endless again

>>10234005
it's almost like he doesn't have the mental tools to deal with mildly large shit

>>10234005
Maybe it's like Hilbert's Grand Hotel.

>>10233983
>what im wondering, is can you determine the dimensions of it
They are endless. How dull are you?

>>10233983
One at least, more can't be said.

>>10233983
just read about it, its entirely ridiculous. Theres no physical way a partially abandoned building of the dimensions you guys state would sustain life for more than a week at most. There are million of other problems but the most clear one is food.

You talk about "rural" floors. well, what kind of farming does it use is it tradiational farming with dirt using the suns light? then if your building had 10 times the cross section of the WTC then you would need about 400-500 stories purely devoted to "rural" floors for each SINGULAR PERSON you want to keep alive in there.

You could reduce that to maybe say... 10-20 floors per person if you switch to ultra efficient hydroponics. but that would imply a constant working power source and either a full staff of people constantly working under good conditions or a fully automated self repairing ai. At that point what is the point? why the fuck is the building in disrepair if you have that kind of infrastructure. Even yet, why the fuck would you have a shitty huge "dystopic" building when any first year architecture student knows how to design a much more greener and efficient smartly shaped tower? The only reason you have huge slums is because of lack of money resources and mental capacity.

It's hard to think of an technological civilization that can make a building with smart self repairing ai provided with huge amounts of electricity from some power source but cannot design that building correctly.

Hive city from 40k basically.
People on one floor will likely never meet people on other floors.
The surrounding area will have to produce food for the building.
Water will be recycled as will people's piss and shit.
Most people will never see the sky.
Genetically engineered food which grows fast.
Lots of wageslaving.
/r9k/ can't live in here unless it's in the far future.

>There are million of other problems but the most clear one is food.
Plenty of food if you know where to look.

>>10235562
how the fucking fuck, its so fucking tall that you take days to walk between floors? its so fucking ran down there are factions between the floors? where do they fucking keep the food? it makes no sense logistically at all unless th ebuilding gets permanently restocked

>>10234005
>You can't have an infinite object with a finite number of things in it

>>10234875
Actually the lack of food is a major thing that people talk about.

>>10236072
No but it doesnt make sense at all, vaguely adressing it doesnt help the issue.

Its like if i told you, i wrote a story in which the character carries a steamroller in his backpack.

and then you say retarded anon thats wildly unrealistic

and then i say "but i removed the seat to make it lighter so there the problem is adressed"

i have nevet seen a comfy thread on /r9k/ for a while

>>10236725
>for a while
>actually lurking there
Lmao

>>10233983
It should be fully automated and barebones minimalist.
>food
>sleep
>exercise
>hygiene
>safety
>security
All of those essential need should be filled and nothing more. That's real freedom.

>>10236725
I've never seen a thread on /r9k/

>>10236937
Well it ain't like that.
It's dystopian nightmare hellhole.

Unless you have something in the high floors sticking out the sides providing vertical thrust the thing will collapse under its own weight.

So maintenance was right all along. There's no such thing as "outside" and "roof".

You dumbass, it's supposed to be a nonsensical eldritch building that is more like hell or an impossible science-fantasy structure like hive cities or Blame's megasructure

Maintenance? Hi, resident of 611-166-61-61 here--just thought I'd mention that the entirety of floor 611-116-61-60 has been liquefied for well over a week by now and the smell is starting to take on a festering quality. You said in response to my last note that I was not smelling it because there is no cross-floor ventilation, but I can assure you right here and now that there is certainly a cross breeze and it is certainly carrying the putrid smell of several thousand liters of liquid biomass...
-best regards, 611-166-61-61 H104

I figured that out as soon as I read "a endless" combined with the retarded comma placements. The only structure OP should build for himself would not tower into the sky but instead sink 6 feet deep into the ground

>Be on top floor
>make hole in floor
>drop bowling balls, furniture, heavy shit
>it goes through to the bottom
>kills a million people

This is just a description of normal cities in the 1890s.
