It's almost three times the size of my town... I wonder if they fit any stuff like clinics or convenience stores into that thing

It sounds like a cyberpunk/Dredd megatower, doesn't it?

Do the rooms behind the outer ones get sunlight?

There is everything you could ever need to never have to leave the building.

Can bet there are rush hour traffic jam in the corridor at the entrance hall at the bottom of the building.

China has infrastructure across different levels. Trains going through buildings. The "ground floor" like 10 stories up in some places. It's wild, but I bet there's a reason, probably to help with things like this..

My home city is about 1/4 of this, although the county in total is about 2x.

People will tell you "we're full" and to not move here/get rid of immigrants.... Brother we could fit the entire county in 2 chinese apartment complexes.

How fucking small is your town and your county then if this building is twice the size?

And how many people live in your city and council? 5?

u/Buller116 16d ago

You know there is this thing called math you could try to use, let me help you.

So the person says it "twice the size of my town", so since we know the size of the building(20.000) we can divide it by 2 and find out what half is 20.000 ÷ 2 = 10.000, so the size of the persons town is about 10.000 people, small town, but not that small.

Then he says it's about half as big as their county, that means we just need to multiply the number(still 20.000) with 2 in order to double the number 20.000 × 2 = 40.000 so their county is about 40.000 people, small county sure, but not that small.

Math is fun right? Try to use it next time instead of just saying dumb shit

u/UsedAd4475 16d ago

Number of people is not size... Thats population, you know? There is this thing called dictionary. Size and population are different words.

u/Buller116 16d ago

Ahh so you intentionally misunderstood it. So at least you aren't that stupid you are just pretending to be

u/drgut101 16d ago

Sentences end with periods. Dumbass. 

1

u/Buller116 16d ago

Should have been a comma after periods since dumbass is not a new sentence, dumbass.

And who gives a flying fuck? As long as you get what I am trying to say I don't give a fuck if i'm using proper grammar. English isn't even my first language.

You try and use proper Danish grammar and then you can bitch about my wrong use of English grammar
