Do they generally bring it to your door?
Where I live they just call you that they're waiting outside and wait for you to come pick it up. Same goes for delivery drivers. Sometimes they don't even leave the car.

Peach Trees.

Guaranteed it's the KFC delivery man who's going to have a problem.

This might be better than most apartments I've lived in tbh, so it might work if looking out of the window and having the inescapable trap of modern life hit you in the face isn't a deal breaker for you

That third picture is either warped or the structural soundness of the building is questionable.

High precision cannon modified to launch pizza boxes ... then just park it about half a kilometer in front of the building.

  • Launch a ball of dough against a designated target at the correct speed for it to flatten out on impact
  • Borrow modern artillery targeting systems so that a ball of toppings impacts the same spot a moment afterwards
  • Fire a HESH round to cook it

Like the guy that cooked a chicken by slapping it repeatedly, somebody needs to see what speeds firing a ball of dough against a wall will get it crispy brown.

Communications personnel receive order ... they quickly process it to the gun crew

Gun crew load first round: .... 15TH FLOOR!!!! APARTMENT 1567!!!! KITCHEN WINDOW SECOND TO RIGHT!!!!!! ....... FIRE!!!!!!!

Gun recoils ... crew prepare second round: ...... SAUCE!!!! ... PEPPERONI!!! HAM!!! PEPPERS!!!!! ANCHOVIES!!!! .... CHEESE!!! EXTRA CHEESE!!!!! .... (prepared round is loaded into gun) ..... FIRE!!!!!

Gun recoils ... crew load HESH round: ...... COMPLETE THE ORDER!!!!! ..... FIRE!!!!!!!!

Gun crew grows silent for a moment .... there is a distant explosion of an apartment completely blow out on the 15th floor.

Do they have pizza delivery in China?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

On the one hand something like 80% of China's population is lactose intolerant, but on the other that certainly never stopped any lactose intolerant people I know

Kowloon city at home

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago

The elevator is broken.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (6 children)

If I search the name, half the articles say 20k, other half 30k. Honestly, I have serious doubts about both figures...

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

I think the capacity is 30k, but 20k people currently live there

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

I counted 37 floors. If there are 37 apartments per floor since the building looks square-ish (those would be some small apartments) and there are 2 rows (one on each side of the building), that is less than 3k apartments. If each had a family of four, that is less then 12k.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Why are you assuming 37 apartments per floor? That answer is definitely no sufficient.

Why are you assuming 4 per apartment?

Lots of assumptions here. Even being off by a bit changes your estimate by thousands.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 2 days ago
  • P1: 37 floors
  • P2: square building
  • C1: 37 apartments per floor

duh

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago (3 children)

This is China, their apartments are casket size. They also do time sharing where one person sleeps while the other is at work and then they swap.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

It doesn't look to me like the kind of a building that would have this, but sure, maybe you could barely reach 20k is you squeeze people in like sardines.

Probably not that man for the food deliverer. High density implies having more than 1 order and there are likely many entrances and building numbers.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago

Right? I'm mass texting my deliveries "hey I'm out front with about 12 other orders. If you need it delivered to your door here it'll be a few extra minutes. I'll head into the building to complete any remaining deliveries at [time]"

[–] [email protected] 25 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I would be surprised if there weren’t several shops dedicated to the building.

I wonder how may people have multiple lovers in this building, you know people be fucking they neighbors with this many options

Originally a hotel now full of influencers must have some interesting quirks

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

God, I hate influencers. I know I probably sound like a geezer, but their whole stchtick is encouraging us to buy useless shit. Before, we had adverts, but now we have people who dedicate their waking hours to this, and for peanuts, unless they are highly successful

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 days ago

Does it have schools and shops too?

[–] [email protected] 88 points 3 days ago

That's way more than the population of the whole town I live in.

[–] [email protected] 78 points 3 days ago (5 children)

Why do such monolithic buildings give me such hell-on-earth vibes?

[–] [email protected] 61 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Because that's exactly what we've created.

[–] [email protected] 89 points 3 days ago (2 children)

It's a matter of perspective and use


high density one place means you can have open space somewhere else, for a given amount of land.

I'd much prefer a few large dense housing complexes, surrounded by green space, than suburban sprawl.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

I'd also prefer something denser than suburban sprawl, but I think there's a balance point between that and what the post is showing.

I think that 3-5 story apartments with shops underneath are the best ones, because they aren't too dense while also not wasting space.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Make those with decent construction so every cough and sneeze isn't broadcasted to all of your neighbors with good design so it's disability friendly, and that is the dream right there.
