This is so fukcing stupid i cant handle it. Fuck. Cathedrals are still beautiful and awe-inspiring hundreds of years after they were built. This orb is going to look like absolute shit the second it loses power or some of its screens break or something, so, like, 50 years from now it'll be giant e-waste sitting in a dead city. I hate techbros i hate techbros i hate techbros

can a cathedral turn into a giant fucking eyeball? No? Then I don't care about it

, 50 years from now

I admire your optimism that it'll last that long

[-] captcha@hexbear.net 15 points 11 months ago

Give it like 5 years and you'll start seeing multiple led panels needing replaced but they can't afford to do that because they still havent made a profit.

This guy is definitely getting sacrificed to the orb

I would not be surprised if the orb caved in at basically any moment

Tear down the stupid papist rock piles

Rehabilitate them into gay clubs. Will make for dope décor.

Can you imagine what they would do with the confessional booth? I get all tingly just thinking about it

Better than trains

Always saying this while I'm neck deep in traffic just outside the Anime-Faced God Orb.

[-] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 36 points 11 months ago

I'm inclined to agree, but I think they missed a trick by making it stationary. It should be a massive unrooted sphere that rolls across the country and crushes everything in its path. And they should let me drive it.

this giant vanity project is better than mass transit

The light pollution sphere

That picture quality looks like the kind of footage the pentagon releases when they smartbomb a wedding or a hospital or the Chinese embassy, but they put an emoji face on the explosion.

[-] trabpukcip@hexbear.net 23 points 11 months ago

They should make it look like a mushroom cloud to see how many people it freaks out

[-] frauddogg@lemmygrad.ml 21 points 11 months ago

what's orb mommy's take on this

[-] NoEyed@hexbear.net 20 points 11 months ago

Not impressed by this particular orb but if they build an even bigger one I'll consider worshipping it.

[-] Blottergrass@hexbear.net 17 points 11 months ago

That guy doesn't actually think the orb is better than trains. He's lying to drive up engagement.

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 16 points 11 months ago

I gotta admit though the concerts inside look dope af

But yeah what a fucking waste

[-] captcha@hexbear.net 13 points 11 months ago

LEDs on the inside is cool. Putting them on the outside is being a public menace.

the orb will be decommissioned following the TOOL gig (also known as the final performance) held within - after which human consciousness will "spiral out", the ability to perceive current reality and the planet earth will cease, and we will ascend to a higher plane that is chemically-composed only of cannabinoids

Is there a Fallout New Vegas mod to add the orb? Maybe with Mr. House yelling at you and then replaced by Yes Man.

[-] RNAi@hexbear.net 9 points 11 months ago

I need a Fallout New Vegas remake.

No God would allow that orb

[-] Goblinmancer@hexbear.net 9 points 11 months ago

Move the orb above the White House like the rock at Vivec

[-] impartial_fanboy@hexbear.net 8 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Well Vegas is getting a high speed train too, but (un)fortunately you won't be able to see the sphere from it. It also has a 'cathedral'. Before the sphere opened they were planning on building one in London too (and maybe Singapore? I forget) so there will probably be more.

But they still refuse to build a subway on or pedestrianize Las Vegas Boulevard, supposedly they're building a whole giant Boring^TM^ tunnel network but somehow I doubt it'll happen.

One day it will become known at the goatse orb. For obvious reasons.

I've long felt the Luxor hotel is way better than the pyramids of Giza.
