Low-key thought it was going to be a nazi/third Reich joke/greentext when I read about the German accent, but then realized where I was and that I am not longer bound by reddit

  • You get home
  • The train enters into a terminal on the ground floor of a 80-story tower
  • It is surrounded by a botanical garden and an algae farm
  • The outside of the complex looks like an overgrown forest
  • You see it through a glass wall but you can't go there yet
  • It has been declared a protected zone to regrow it
  • You go back to the temperate area of the botanical garden
  • There's a little kiosk that looks like a mushroom
  • You reach for your wallet to buy a milkshake but you can't find it
  • Cringing at this vulgar gesture of yours, the distributor inside the kiosk decides to drink it himself
  • Fat L taken
  • You wander back to the tower
  • On the outside, it is a massive socialist-realism style building
  • But on the inside, every floor has its unique style of interior design
  • Some are clearly made by amateurs who live on the floor
  • Most are commissions by locally renowned artists
  • You take the lift to the 80th floor to get a good view, but even the top of the tower is so massive you get lost
  • Usually people party on the roof but tomorrow there the entrance exams for the tower's university
  • But that way you can climb the spire in peace
  • By the time you made it up, the sun has set
  • You look down on the intricately nested terraces and balconies, the ornaments and statues, the many, many flags
  • The garden and the farm are illuminated in a soft green light, surrounded by a wide belt of absolute black
  • There are a also a few dim lights in the distance
  • Not everyone is a tower person
  • You go back inside and struggle to find apartment 52.M708
  • It consists of a bath, a toilet, a study, a bedroom, and a small dining space
  • Cooking and most forms of entertainment are meant to be done together in the common area or on the ground floor
  • Mail, laundry, and garbage are automatically sent to their destination through a series of vents
  • You want to fall asleep to the TV and zap through to find a random celebrity talkshow
  • Alas everything is about science, art, technology, nature, or philosophy
  • You lie awake until 4am, having existential crises about the vastness of space
  • But at least you're not alone

It's always the silly greentexts and copypastas that got me tearing up

This is a heaven description, which we actually could have (maybe except meeting Marx in person)
