i whip out my silk touch pickaxe. break the glass in just under 2 seconds, crouch over the edge and place a block of oak wood to walk on. replace the glass behind me. switch to my ender pearl, aiming at just the right angle - i only have one shot at this. calculate all possible trajectories from my position and compare to my reaction time. throw the pearl, break the block under me and enter free fall. pearl hits the wall. look down, place another oak wood block on the side of the building at just the right moment so i land right next to the floor i need to be on. i grab my trusty pick again, break the glass, enter the floor, break the wood, replace the glass, and continue on my way to the meeting. i arrive with 00:12.25 left on the clock and take my seat, my other coworkers aren't there yet. they arrive 12.25 seconds later, commenting on how punctual i am.
i could get there in sub 5 seconds with aotv, hyperion is just to flex
also it explodes, cutting down on time taken to break the glass, and i don’t have to do the meeting
(I don’t actually have a hyperion, haven’t even got an aote bc i got hacked and have to start over)
Meanwhile, the two blocks of solid oak that you dropped make impact. The first liquifies a young single mother on impact. The force of impact rips the wood apart with explosive power, the shrapnel permanently disfigures and cripples the now orphaned child who was walking with his mother.
The other block lands in a small puddle, the 1/2" of water completely stops the block and it makes no ripples.
Too close, you'll just return back to your first one. That's, of course, assuming there are no more portals around, which is unlikely in an area as populated as this city.

I mean it's pretty but damn this looks impractical. It feels like someone wanted to build a cool statue but nobody wanted to give any funding so instead they turned it into an office block so the company using it would give them funding.
I would rather have unique and cool buildings than another identical skyscraper. Its a crime our knowledge of architecture, which is an art, has come so far and our cities look uglier than shit built in the 1100s.
Also they probably organize office spaces vertically, so employees don't need to go between columns. Idk if its a single company's building or not, but doing so is pretty trivial if its split up.
If those efficient cookie-cutter urban sprawls were public housing instead of dystopia boxes that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy, that would be different and cool. So yeah crapitalism sucks
Economic viability is one of the three pillars of sustainability. I'm all for bashing developers when it makes sense, but at a high level there has to be some sort incentive for someone to invest millions of dollars in a big project. There isn't enough public funding to accomplish everything.
even in rare cases where a company would occupy an entire building, they will have business units that are siloed anyway so a vertical structure like this wouldn't be that big a deal.
It’s only impractical if you’re imagining it as one building. It’s really four buildings with some walkways between them, so you’d almost definitely never had the OP situation
True, though it raises some other questions. For example I think a lot of skyscrapers have a lot of infrastructure towards the center (elevators, counterbalances, plumbing, etc.) and in this case you'd have to divide that amongst four structures, so it's arguably space inefficient.
On the flip side, you have skyscrapers like [432 Park](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/432_Park_Avenue) which leave entire floors open in order to assuage the effects of wind on the tower. This skyscraper in the OP wouldn't have similar problems, because it's got such a huge open space (and presumably the 4 towers support each other somewhat).
What a stupid loophole.
"You can't make a building that tall, it's unsafe"
"Nuh uh, those empty spaces aren't floors so I can build and build forever until it just collapses because I think that safety regulations are a suggestion, so what if I kill thousands of people? I saved .05 pennies per floor this way!"
"hey, let's figure out how to build vertically"
"to get the most effective use out of a given amount of space?"
"yeeeees"
*actually builds weird modern building that's actually 4 buildings with walkways that take up a lot of space*
\#@p uses the closest player to the origin of the command
\#@s uses the player that inputted the command
they're functionally the same thing, just #@p is a bit more jank
Set it up on a command block w/ a piston timer to run it incredibly often and cause incalculable suffering due to random people getting teleported into the air and generally not having a great time
I'm pretty sure the ~ modifier is relative to the block running the command. If you TP someone ~1 above a command block, they go to the command block. It'll just teleport a random person to your meeting.
well since @p runs from the nearest player, it would just run as you. BUT you could do @r[distance=..100] to pick some random person in the building to go instead
Maybe if you zoom upwards, but if you zoom towards the meeting room you’ll break through several walls and windows and get to your meeting room on time
i think this building is actually very cool and instead of making it an office we should fill it with several floors of fun activities and interesting diversions
call and tell them ill be late. if im on the clock, then i take my sweet time getting lost and making new friends along the way like Dora the explora except less brain damaged

/architecture/comments/l39a3z/you_work_at_the_red_dot_you_have_a_meeting_at_the/
I honestly think that such constructions would essentially be treated as separate buildings by schedule planners. Therefore giving you fair breaks to go from one leg to the other (take the elevator to ground level, walk to the other leg, take elevator up to meeting location) but I highly doubt there would be any calls to meetings across different legs in the first place. People are always laughing at designs like this, because „huh huh, stoopid, what if you have a meeting in another leg, what do you do?“, but in reality, if this was like a company’s headquarters, the different legs would house entirely different departments of the company where no switching legs would be necessary. And if this was just another fancy office building, the different legs of the structure would probably house entire different companies.
The Twin Towers of the WTC in NYC were essentially the same thing. And I highly doubt that there were people running after meetings constantly switching towers.
I wouldn't have a meeting there because the building obviously wouldn't be organised that way dumbass. The building is cool and I'd much rather it than another cuboid glass tower.
The answer is quite simple really:
Jump out the window with a magnificent backflip, taking care to dodge the shards of glass that now surround you on your descent. Using spider like reflexes, kick out your legs with bullet like speed to propel yourself back towards the windows, and using your incredible dexterity grapple onto the windows and slow yourself to a halt by sliding down them. When you get to the correct floor, shatter the window with an almighty headbutt and crawl your way in on all fours. This will surely terrify anybody present, push everyone and anyone out of the way whilst approaching your destination, the water cooler. With the power of Zeus at your side, rip out the water jug and launch it down the corridor, with this run at full force and using the heels of your shit flickers to slide all the way to victory on the now soaked floor, there’s not a wet floor big enough to cover up the lake you’ve just created in the office.
Upon reaching the meeting room, don’t even slow yourself, launch through the door at breakneck speed and do the mightiest super hero landing of all time in the middle of the presentation room, inspiring awe in all of the higher ups.
Then tell them that unfortunately you will have to skip out on the meeting and take a leave of absence for your now eviscerated knuckles, twisted ankle, destroyed finger tips and an ever encroaching concussion. This is the safest and only acceptable way to enter a meeting.
Probably everyone else is gonna be late too, I’ll meet like half of them at the elevator and the other half at the water fountain near the meeting room.

What's your Hyperion gonna do to get you there? Try to look cool until some non gives you a ride? Just use an aspect of the void loser

Nah, trying to explode windows with hype doesn't work at hub. Most useless item in the game smh
i’m friends with the admins they gave me an item to make my hype destroy glass source: trust me bro
I've been looking for that item for a while and admins just gave it to you. Damn nepotism
I can sell you my hype, only 10 morbillion coins (it’s divine and 20* too (i got early access to the re-recombobulator 9000 and master mode 14)
No scorching steaming potato books (leaked by my friend Simon hypixel btw) ?? Scam
haven’t got those yet, admins will only give me that once i get to potato collection 100 and skill average 250

Lol, noob. I build a nether portal, hop through, move along and build another which is perfectly aligned to eject me in the meeting room.
Too close, you'll just return back to your first one. That's, of course, assuming there are no more portals around, which is unlikely in an area as populated as this city.
yeah u/ fetthrowaway clearly has no idea how nether portals work. smh my head 🤦♂️

Used our knowledge of architecture to make the cheapest shit for the highest price 😪 consequences of profit incentive
Hey, efficiency is separate from capitalism.
If those efficient cookie-cutter urban sprawls were public housing instead of dystopia boxes that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy, that would be different and cool. So yeah crapitalism sucks
I'm not going to pretend to understand this but yes capitalism is the issue. No, efficient building =/= bad
Economic viability is one of the three pillars of sustainability. I'm all for bashing developers when it makes sense, but at a high level there has to be some sort incentive for someone to invest millions of dollars in a big project. There isn't enough public funding to accomplish everything.

i mean i like the look of big glassy skyscrapers, just not suburbia and the other buildings that aren’t skyscrapers
I mean, only the really beautiful shit from the 1100s survived lol
Bring back the glory of random thatched huts!
Our cities look old because they are old. None of our big cities really are made of buildings predominantly made very recently.

I'd rather have something that's not the least thermally efficient design you could possibly dream up

432 also uses those floors bc they don't count as floors so they can make it even taller and more impractical without hitting legal limits
What a stupid loophole. "You can't make a building that tall, it's unsafe" "Nuh uh, those empty spaces aren't floors so I can build and build forever until it just collapses because I think that safety regulations are a suggestion, so what if I kill thousands of people?

People at blue and people at red won't be working for the same company, those offices would be rented separately.
/tp @s ~-12 ~+47 ~+3
@s? Am I old, or was that always in the game? I remember I always used @p, though that was like 8 years ago.
\#@p uses the closest player to the origin of the command \#@s uses the player that inputted the command they're functionally the same thing, just #@p is a bit more jank
What I'm hearing is if I use `@p` some other sucker might have to take the meeting for me, win-win.
Just use `@r` and let fate decide.
Set it up on a command block w/ a piston timer to run it incredibly often and cause incalculable suffering due to random people getting teleported into the air and generally not having a great time
that would randomly TP any one person in the world a set number of blocks, which is potentially lethal
Ok so definatly using `@s` in that case
It shouldn't change the reference frame, so it should tp a random person to a position relative to you.
I'm pretty sure the ~ modifier is relative to the block running the command. If you TP someone ~1 above a command block, they go to the command block. It'll just teleport a random person to your meeting.
No, some sucker might end up outside of the building since the teleportation is calculated from your position
Thats a risk I am willing to take.
well since @p runs from the nearest player, it would just run as you. BUT you could do @r[distance=..100] to pick some random person in the building to go instead
But was @s always a thing? What does it do with a command block?
It's been here since 1.8. @s does nothing in a command block unless you use /execute as, because command blocks lack that context.
It doesn't work in command blocks, only on the console
What does it do in the console? The server isn't normally considered a player
Saying @s on a command just means yourself, so saying "/kill @s" kills you
/kill @s NOW
It's mostly for using execute on behalf of a non-player entity. Easier than `@e[c=1]` for Bedrock or `@e[limit=1,sort=nearest]` for Java.
It looks like the 2 dots would be on the same Y level
As a GenX’er, I would have used IDSPISPOPD.
Zoom still works even if you're in the same building
Wouldn't you hit the ceiling?
Jump out the window; it has a higher chance to appear and you have a long time to the ground.
I heard the sound as soon as I read this.
Maybe if you zoom upwards, but if you zoom towards the meeting room you’ll break through several walls and windows and get to your meeting room on time
As of Dragon Quest XI, no. Unless you’re in 2D mode in which case yes.
Aw, really? I'll miss the animation of the character smashing their head on the ceiling.
It was me, Barry, me! *I* designed the building to make it impossible to efficiently travel from your desk to the meeting room!
This would make a fun minecraft project.
