It’s a major communications connection hub and because that’s where so many data comes through, it’s also an intelligence base. Probably NSA.
I’ve played Wolfenstein The New Order. Probably Nazis.
That’s the building where the guy from the Netflix movie hosts his AR murder game
It’s an AT&t switch building
Cotton balls
Oh that’s just the Oldest House
Nearby metro systems central hvac.
That’s where Immortan Joe releases the water sometimes.
Telecom exchange. We got one kinda similar in KCMO, although I’d guess there are actual offices for people in the lower half of the building since it’s got windows.
The Federal Bureau of Control
Nope, the oldest house is just on the other side of the street
Well then
I mean, at least they nailed the dystopian aesthetic
TIL, thanks! My first thought was that it might’ve been a telephony exchange center, data center, or other networking infrastructure hub. There’s a building in my city colloquially referred to as “the bunker” built with a similar hardened brutalist style that houses all the main network trunk connections for our state.
My father worked for Western Electric, the part of the Bell System that handled wiring this building (and others). I’m pretty sure he worked there, at least for a while. The amount of copper wire in that building is astronomical.
this could be us, but you playin’
My life is empty without a doomer shawty to collect copper and smoke crack with. 😔
✊ the struggle is real fam
Replied to the wrong thread
Fun fact: there are some big magnets in there. I have a compass on my backpack and it had a lot of trouble when I passed that building.
It would be cool if you could share a video of that
Sadly, I didn’t take one and I don’t live in NYC anymore.
Ah makes sense. Maybe I’ll ask one of my friends who live there. I heard it’s a cia surveillance building
NSA, but yeah
Might that not be a case of the building having a monster concentration of ferrous metal?
EDIT: Apparently lemmy doesn’t believe concentrations of iron affects magnets. Go on.
The lack of basic science around here annoys me. Had thought this crowd was smarter than FB Boomers.
It’s not Gina have a solid iron core or anything, even if it’s meant to be bombproof, it’s mostly going to be reinforced concrete.
Could be that the NSA messes with GPS signals there too thwart drones.
I was under the impression that it’s an old Bell Telephone trunk/exchange, that has since been repurposed by a federal alphabet soup as a data center.
The main server of EvilCorp.
Something something the redundant backups and hydrogen filling the room
Dr doofenshmirtz?!
I believe they’re referencing Mr Robot
Fuck I interpreted it wrong. I love both shows.
They are both fantastic!
Apple. There’s no windows.
New York telephone exchange.
Here’s a great video on it
Hey this looks interesting. I’ll check it out
