Everyone knows elevators are just a way to hide loading screens

[–] jettrscga 29 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's pretty suspicious that going up 2 floors in an apartment building takes as long as going up 10 floors in an office building.

[–] Crashumbc 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Lol, elevator speed is a cost thing. Gotta keep those office grunts at their desks working(they also move a lot more people and if you get a fast elevator you cut down the number needed .

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

To be fair it's also a capacity thing. If an elevator goes more slowly it can carry more weight. People moving in/out of apartments might need to carry furniture, while usually office elevators just have to carry people.

[–] Crashumbc 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Partly true. People weigh a LOT and I mean a LOT for the amount of space they take up in the elevator.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'll have you know, I've been losing weight, so don't lump me in with those people.

[–] Crashumbc 1 points 11 months ago

That just means an extra person crams increasing the risk weight!

Why is fox entertainment always mixed in with news companies...I know what they claim, but you should know better. It's NOT news and never will be.

When Vice was printed media, they had better journalism than most. What the fuck happened that they are now not even news?

[–] too_high_for_this 15 points 11 months ago

Their good journalists left

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

They filled for bankruptcy and fired all their staff. Once they were something important but not anymore. They are basically another Newsweek clone now.

[–] Anticorp 0 points 11 months ago

Vice is investigative journalism, which used to be fairly common among news Networks, but it takes actual work so it has fallen out of favor.

I keep forgetting to watch the Truman show. Thanks for reminding me.

~It was in my script.~

I mean, no problem!

I just started playing it recently. I played around with those elevators way too long. :D

It's just a silent teleport. You can't put one sector on top of another.

[–] dopeshark 8 points 11 months ago

I refuse to believe it!!!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

That bit in Hard Boiled where they take a lift between two floors of bad guys in a single take, but it’s actually the same set reset by stage hands, is proof of this.

[–] TragicNotCute 5 points 11 months ago

BET is always trying to convince me of this.

They produce a lot of elevator-centric content.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

and i thought snopes told the truth /s

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Am I missing something about snopes, or am I reading into this comment the wrong way?

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Snopes is excellent for urban legends.

However

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They seem to be pressing doubt on this one, which is where I have leaned as well.

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In 1 points 11 months ago

This isn't snopes but it's the same strategy they use. See if you agree with the false conclusion.
