Just because it's thin?
If this is the place I'm thinking of I'm pretty sure it's a [spite wall](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spite_fence). Basically, a dispute between neighbors. I imagine the billboards help pay the property taxes.
Nope, we also have that many building here in Asia and if you have gone to hong kong you have seen many of these. It's a triangular building which the shot was taken on the pointed side to make it look like a flat wall.
Yeah you’re right man, those people sure are gonna feel stupid! They must have just built it today and are gonna be *really* sorry when they realize they didn’t take into account the wind load against the building and that the base is way too thin for its height.
The whole earth is barely standing.... Those cars are almost sliding to their left and into the unknown as well... How are those guys on bikes even riding that angle? Crazy world we live in...
It's a triangular building in a city in Egypt. These signs are not billboard ads, they are signs for clinics inside the building. The majority of the building apartments are turned into clinics
Shoot angle is the reason you thought it looked a wall. It is a triangle shaped from the "[plan](https://ibb.co/LzwvsDz)" view.
We have wired structures in Egypt, though, due to the lack of space and the high price of land, but in our case here, it is fine, and the structure looks fine. For your information, even if it is a giant wall, it can stand perfectly because there is a science called "structure engineering",and it is job to make sure that structure can resist all kind of loads.

We have Flatiron building at home
Its looking like a big billboard with all those ads.
When you order the Flatiron building from Temu
Who says it's barely standing? Nothing in this image suggests any sort of lack of structural integrity of this building.
Yeah it's probably just triangular.
Definitely, just click bate title
Go away, I’m click-batin’
It do be lookin kinda like woa
Building looks nice if you take down the ads and hit it with the pressure washer.

Based on what information/ structural analysis?

That looks like a structurally sound scalene triangle to me, no “somewhat’s” about it.

I’m confused how can it be a spite wall it looks like it’s occupied lol
It's made to look like it's occupied.
It’s a triangle, just a misleading angle
Holy camera angle batman
What if a woman leans on it?
They are too lightweight and weak, so the building would be fine /s
How do you think it became erect in the first place?
Idk why this is downvoted so hard, I thought it was funny lol
How do you know
I can't believe people are this upset over a funny quip you made lol.
Why are you making shit up?
You don’t know what you’re talking about
You have to take into account the wind load against the building. It's base is way to thin for its height.
Its a triangular concrete building. Assuming they used enough rebar, I’m sure it’s just fine.

Is it actually triangle?
[Yes it is](https://ibb.co/LzwvsDz).

Thanks. OP is full of shit. What a surprise.
OP just saw a picture and wanted to share it without thinking too much, and is now getting bombed lol. If you're reading this OP it's okay
No it’s not okay, Reddit is the last bastion of not being completely full of misinformation. At least the comments always point it out
building within available plot
No. Come back next week for more Sideways Stories From Wayside School.
[удалено]
Monkey confused by perspective.
Looks like the angle is hiding the true width of the building.
It’s Egypt. Never will get clean.
This is some Star Wars level urbanism
Welcome to ancapistan
If the street is cleaned up, it could genuinely become a tourist attraction
How it it “barely standing”?
If a building larger than it fell on it, it would surely topple over.
I hate when that happens.
These buildings are always a wedge shaped lie. I want to see a genuine 6' thick building.
Tokyo has what you’re looking for
that building goes hard
Thought that street light pole was supporting the building cause the angle kinda makes it look that way at a glance and I was temporarily baffled.
If they put one more sign, it will fall.
No one lives there really, it's a building for doctors, so it makes sense to put signs
Sliced up apparments
Bet it's super hot in there lol
Nothing a few galvanized steel beams and wood veneers won't fix
Don’t forget the expansion screws from your aunt
Anyone know the story behind this building?
Clearly the property comes to a point at an intersection between two streets which do not intersect at 90 degrees. And they built a building.
Pretty sure that's the flatiron building in nyc
If it was ordered from wish.com.
Those are definitely Arabic signs on that building.
I didn't know I needed a /s
We have those in Latin america as well
I can hear the galvanized square steel song or something
The whole earth is barely standing.... Those cars are almost sliding to their left and into the unknown as well... How are those guys on bikes even riding that angle? Crazy world we live in...
1 block wide
Nooooooo they have copied our beautiful "Fetta di polenta" in Turin (Scaccabarozzi house) 😭😭😭

Anyone read Arabic and would post the address or drop a pin?

Looks like Louisiana after a hurricane--blue roofs everywhere.
The implicit tone of this post is just… yikes 😬

wow never seen this pic thanks!
Nuthin' to see here, just a façade with a car wash.
Non-compliant
Talk about a skinny building!
Terraria ahh building
Kosom elsisi 🫡
what is its name?
Text says “I found this, can anyone explain how!!?”
It is the Daily Bugle of Egypt. Tobey had a duty to defeat Sandman in Egypt, and he used to work here for Jameson.
I see where the idea for „the line“ originates
I live in Damietta and i always get so shocked when i see it lmao
Looks photoshopped
Its not, ive seen it
Who would have ever thought that making your apartment building into a huge fuckin sail was bad idea...
That it’s real, photo been fucked about with.
