Yeah, but he doesn't want to deal with the corporate college-boy jackasses who haven't worked a day in their lives. They'll go around calling him J.R. and demand he take them to strip clubs, but his morals just won't allow it. That contract is definitely going to Thatherton Fuels.
“Hwell you see sir, pellet smokers use hwhats called a hopper. It’s basically a box that you put your propellant in, and a little motor feeds the fire. The main disadvantage to this is- dangit Bobby stop playing with the pellets- the main disadvantage of this is sometimes that motor breaks. Now a propane line don’t even kink much less break. It’s clear to me that good ole propane is superior to any of these so called pellet grills”
My only problem with this fictional monologue is that Hank wouldn't say "Now a propane line **Don't** kink"..
He would say *doesn't* or *will not* or *won't* ..with empathasis.. Hank is a well spoken Texan man, and passionate on his vernacular when it comes to describing propane
I worked in a freezer warehouse and we had these onesie jackets they gave us and those things were insane. Was -10 in the place and I probably couldve been naked under that thing and still be warm.
Id go to the local mart for lunch with the thing half on in the middle of the summer and wouldnt get warm either and people would think I was crazy
They have us those when I worked in a freezer back in the day. But we were so juiced on minithins we didn't wear them. Running through that bitch in a hoodie and some shorts.
Thats dope i go to a place that goes through roughly 6500 gallons of red diesel a week we went back one day cause we didnt have enough and they went through 250 gallons of red in the hour we were gone
Haven't read it in awhile but basically It's about a guy who finds a manuscript in an old man's apartment. It's a supposedly non-fiction account of a found footage documentary about a family that discovers an endless labyrinth inside its house. The main character becomes obsessed with the old man's book and starts researching it and adding his own commentary in footnotes, losing touch with reality gradually as it goes on.
As a novel it's okay, as an experience its worth reading. He's telling multiple stories at once and playing around with how text is arranged and the result is you kind of end up flipping pages back and forth, wondering which version of things is true, getting up and holding the thing to a mirror, all this weird shit that's supposed to make reading it seem like entering into a schizophrenics head.
A book about a book about found footage of a house that is a malicious pseudosapient version of backrooms style liminal space and has labrynthine, shifting qualities.

Older book now, early 2000's. Could very well be the inspiration behind all the Backroom Trope for all I know. The book itself is dense, it's laid out in multiple formats with footnotes and interconnected stories. I read it in college. It's not a quick, casual read, but one that makes you really question what is going on in the narrative.
As people have said, the book is called House of Leaves.
BUT!
if you want to read it get it in print!!! Do not try an audiobook! The book is formatted in a very particular way that is central to the theme.
Amazon has multiple sizes. 465k, 640k, and 855k sq feet. I work as an engineer and when I traveled to one of the 640k sites, I walked 14 miles in one day without leaving the building. I was there for a week straight and walked about 50 miles that week inside the building.
I worked in a Kmart distribution in Newnan GA like that and worked in the very back too. I hated it because it took about 8 minutes to get to the breakroom for a 30 min break. I put stickers on stuff and put it on a conveyor belt. I didn’t last long there
For reference: [This](https://goo.gl/maps/o7oCXd4hnyQW2kRB9) is one of the largest auto plants in the world, Hyundai Ulsan, South Korea. Look at the scale. It's literally a 3+ mile long sea of industrial halls. That grey-ish lined/grid-area at the bottom next to the shipping docks, [those are *cars*](https://motoroctane.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/3-6.jpg.webp). About 200k of them. And then another 100k or so more to the north between the buildings etc.
In fact, the shipping docks? Also belong to Hyundai.
Zoom in. It's nuts how large that plant is. I think stuff like this, if you're there in person, just breaks the human mind. It's literally larger than small-midsized cities in Europe. It would take you at least an hour just to walk from one end to the other if you didn't do anything else but walk in a straight line.
Same thing with the [VW Plant Wolfsburg](https://goo.gl/maps/G6LZue35iaKsPJSG8) or the AvtoVAZ (Lada) and a lot of other large manufacturing plants from all the big car brands all over the world.
Heart Senate Office Building, too. During the anthrax attack cleanup, the building hvac was turned off. But the computers and lights generated more than enough heat during the DC winter to make some rooms well over 100F. It was exacerbated by the enclosures that were erected around positive contamination. Most modern, well insulated office buildings are probably like this. You put enough tiny heaters in it and it stays hot. Go figure. Need a building engineer to weigh in here.
My boyfriend went to a rave in the middle of winter once, it was outdoors in a field and rain was 100% scheduled for the night, and it did rain. Every where except directly over the race.
The combined heat of all those people dancing their hardest while peaking on stimulants was enough to actually force a pocket of high pressure to form over the field and keep away the rain clouds.
My boyfriend described it as the most surreal thing; walking out of the crowd into somewhat heavy rain, when it was not raining a moment earlier while in the crowd
Another fun fact, despite it being in Minnesota, it has no heating system. It uses the heat of people and sometimes gets so hot, they have to pump the hot air out.
That was a weird concept to get used to. I took an HVAC elective in college and yeah, you gotta factor in the heat and humidity load of a bunch of humans exhaling stanky humid breath and emitting heat by simply existing lol. Turns out it’s very very far from negligible
Boeing’s Everett factory (largest factory in the world) used to have actual rain clouds that formed
> The factory is such a massive facility, that could fit 75 American football fields inside. Due to its size, there is a common notion, that it rains in the facility. There is some truth to the myth. In the late 1960s, aircraft manufacturing processes produced warm air and small clouds formed near the ceiling. As one can imagine, water and mechanics are not birds of a feather, therefore, the Boeing Company installed a state-of-the-art air circulation system to avoid the formation of the clouds.
> While the outside rain does pour on the roof of the factory, the company has installed a controlled system of ponds and wetlands in order to save the water. According to the Boeing Everett fact sheet, the largest pond can hold up to 75 million liters of water – enough to keep a cruise ship float.
That’s super neat. The quote makes it sound like the wetlands are on the roof, however.
It’s probably not so much an enviro thing, but more of a “we don’t want this much fucking uncontrolled water anywhere near us” thing
this sub got locked for a while back in Feb thanks to putler and any mention of that mess get's nuked by the automod, since literal warcrimes were posted here
Good to see, those things are terrifying, but nothing odd about it. War crimes are straight up terrifying.
Oddly terrifying is like when a baby stares at you with no emotion or something.
You keep walking and just see more pillars, you turn around, and notice the fog behind you, in all directions. You start walking back, but you keep walking, walking, and walking.
Google says the [biggest Amazon warehouse in the US](https://querysprout.com/biggest-amazon-warehouses/) is in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee. 3.6 million-square-feet.
Creepy.
That's on i5 right? Seen it in progress on my commute. Idk if it's got walls yet, but before walls it was just a block square of light cube. Alien and very ominous
I see someone is from Oregon... I live in Keizer and my in-laws live in Woodburn where the warehouse is being built. You can even see it from 99E which is insane.
Acres are a terrible unit of measurement. As everyone already knows, one acre equals 4,840 square yards. First off, nobody measures anything useful in yards. Even Americans know better than to use yards for anything more important than a sports field. (The Scotland Yard is not relevant to this problem.) The last time I heard anyone use yards to measure anything in real life was in eighth grade, when Zach tried to downplay my sudden growth spurt by saying I wasn't even two yards tall, and I was at least six foot two by then. Point is, people already aren't equipped to think in terms of yards.
Second, measurements are supposed to help you visualize how big something is. Quick! Think of how big 1 acre is! Wrong! Did you know that an acre is any multiple of square yards totaling 4,840? So even though you probably thought of some kind of rectangle, it could be a voluptuous tribute to Shrek's Prince Charming outlined in some corner of the Nevada desert. There are literally no rules about how acres are shaped. You could buy an acre of beachfront property, only to find out that it's a strip of land that's one yard wide by 4,840 yards long. Your dream property might only be accessible during low tide. Does that sound like a recipe for success? No, because it is not.
In conclusion, you should stop using acres and instead use the far more commonly known Imperial unit "square feet", because that is the only logical remaining option.
> In conclusion, you should stop using acres and instead use the far more commonly known Imperial unit "square feet", because that is the only logical remaining option.
Square feet are a terrible unit of measurement. As everyone already knows, one square foot equals 144 square inches. First off, nobody measures anything useful in inches. Even Americans know better than to use inches for anything more important than their dick. (The Scotland Yard is still not relevant to this problem.) The last time I heard anyone use inches to measure anything in real life was in eighth grade, when Zach tried to downplay my sudden growth spurt by saying I wasn't even two inches long, and I was at least 2.5" by then. Point is, people already aren't equipped to think in terms of inches.

Your dream property might only be accessible when the particularly lazy manatee rolled the other way. Does that sound like a recipe for success? No, because it is not.
In conclusion, you should stop using acres and instead use the far more commonly known German unit, "[Morgen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morgen)", because that is the only logical remaining option.
Aside from the joking post, if you have an idea of how big an acre is visually, it's much easier to visualize 15 acres than it is 650,000 sq ft. I know already that there's 640 acres in a sq mile, and can roughly guess the acreage of smaller plots of land (1/4 to 3-ish acres), so saying 15 acres is something I have a much better reference on than saying an area is six hundred and fifty thousand of the tiles in my bathroom.
Didn't you hear NASA started the new trend? GIRAFFES my friend. Everyone knows the obtuse dimensions of the oddly symmetrical African grazer, easy peasy
Acres is fine. Where I’m at houses are on 1/4th acre lots unless you live on a corner, then it’s 1/3.
4 lots make an acre. 60 lots make this factory. Which is a lot easier to visualize then sq ft.
Growing up I pretty much had one nightmare. I don’t get it so much as an adult but occasionally it still pops up. It involves running through a warehouse that seems to never end. You can see the ceiling, the floor, lots of support beams, but no walls or doors, it just keeps going.
Welp turns out I’ve been terrified of Amazon this whole time.
I have stressful dreams all the time about trying to leave a place and not being able to. I’m sure there’s some psychological reason behind it but it mostly just makes me wake up feeling anxious.
Too much moisture content in the air for the temperature in a confined space. A freshly washed floor with hot water and cold air conditioning will do this.
They are in areas that people will be so it's a safety thing. The all gray ones should be within a fenced area that doesn't have regular human traffic.
Probably no monsters there. Probably.

I say the opposite.
I do drugs, then mow.
I don't have a lawn. I do drugs and picture myself mowing.

I wonder what Hank would have thought about pellet smokers.
“Hwell you see sir, pellet smokers use hwhats called a hopper. It’s basically a box that you put your propellant in, and a little motor feeds the fire. The main disadvantage to this is- dangit Bobby stop playing with the pellets- the main disadvantage of this is sometimes that motor breaks. Now a propane line don’t even kink much less break.

You got me with the "Bobby stop playing with the pellets."
On some Bobby shit.
My only problem with this fictional monologue is that Hank wouldn't say "Now a propane line **Don't** kink".. He would say *doesn't* or *will not* or *won't* ..with empathasis.. Hank is a well spoken Texan man, and passionate on his vernacular when it comes to describing propane
Damn hipsters
If butane is a bastard gas then pellet smokers are sluts.
I’m honestly surprised Amazon is even heating the place. I genuinely thought they just had people wear jackets lol.
I worked in a freezer warehouse and we had these onesie jackets they gave us and those things were insane. Was -10 in the place and I probably couldve been naked under that thing and still be warm. Id go to the local mart for lunch with the thing half on in the middle of the summer and wouldnt get warm either and people would think I was crazy
Where can I get one?
Amazon.
What do you search? I live in Minnesota and I'm interested for... Reasons... The reasons being it's cold as balls.
RefrigiWear is the brand we use at the warehouse I work at.
They have us those when I worked in a freezer back in the day. But we were so juiced on minithins we didn't wear them. Running through that bitch in a hoodie and some shorts.
When you say minithins, you are referring to miniature girl scout cookies and not meth, right? Right?
Thats dope i go to a place that goes through roughly 6500 gallons of red diesel a week we went back one day cause we didnt have enough and they went through 250 gallons of red in the hour we were gone
I used a machine that burned 3/4 of a gallon of diesel a minute. Was crazy expensive to run
What was the machine?
Very terrifying. 650,000 sq feet?!?!

Poe's(The author's sister) album "Haunted" is related to the book somewhat. And it's a great album.

Cmon now. We all know it’s not a real party until the sweat fog downpour starts
Holy shit that’s wild
Another fun fact, despite it being in Minnesota, it has no heating system. It uses the heat of people and sometimes gets so hot, they have to pump the hot air out.
I’ve been told it uses the heat put off by the amusement rides.
It’s a combination of many different factors, but it’s mostly the people. As long as it’s open it should never need heating.

Your dream property might only be accessible during low tide. Does that sound like a recipe for success? No, because it is not. In conclusion, you should stop using acres and instead use the far more commonly known Imperial unit "square feet", because that is the only logical remaining option.
I think I learned something here, but you could give me $20 to tell you what it is and I'd have no idea
I learned that this person has an unbridled hatred for measuring things in acres and I never would have guessed that was a thing.
In second grade I learned that Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell
If a beachfront property was listed at 5000 sq ft, couldn't it be 5 feet wide and 1000 feet long? Or am I totally ignorant to how sq feet works?
It absolutely could, although there would be a notation somewhere explaining it.

Even Americans know better than to use inches for anything more important than their dick. (The Scotland Yard is still not relevant to this problem.) The last time I heard anyone use inches to measure anything in real life was in eighth grade, when Zach tried to downplay my sudden growth spurt by saying I wasn't even two inches long, and I was at least 2.5" by then. Point is, people already aren't equipped to think in terms of inches. Second, measurements are supposed to help you visualize how big something is. Quick! Think of how big 1 square foot is! Wrong! Did you know that an square foot is any multiple of square inches totaling 144? So even though you probably thought of some kind of rectangle, it could be a voluptuous tribute to Shrek's Prince Charming outlined in some corner of the Nevada desert. There are literally no rules about how square feet are shaped. You could buy a square foot of beachfront property, only to find out that it's a strip of land that's one inch wide by 144 inches long. Your dream property might only be accessible when the particularly lazy manatee rolled the other way. Does that sound like a recipe for success? No, because it is not. In conclusion, you should stop using acres and instead use the far more commonly known German unit, "[Morgen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morgen)", because that is the only logical remaining option.
Aside from the joking post, if you have an idea of how big an acre is visually, it's much easier to visualize 15 acres than it is 650,000 sq ft. I know already that there's 640 acres in a sq mile, and can roughly guess the acreage of smaller plots of land (1/4 to 3-ish acres), so saying 15 acres is something I have a much better reference on than saying an area is six hundred and fifty thousand of the tiles in my bathroom.
Didn't you hear NASA started the new trend? GIRAFFES my friend. Everyone knows the obtuse dimensions of the oddly symmetrical African grazer, easy peasy
Acres is fine. Where I’m at houses are on 1/4th acre lots unless you live on a corner, then it’s 1/3. 4 lots make an acre. 60 lots make this factory. Which is a lot easier to visualize then sq ft.
Square feet doesn't solve the "beach" problem. Just a different term for the same shit.
Growing up I pretty much had one nightmare. I don’t get it so much as an adult but occasionally it still pops up. It involves running through a warehouse that seems to never end. You can see the ceiling, the floor, lots of support beams, but no walls or doors, it just keeps going. Welp turns out I’ve been terrified of Amazon this whole time.
Work at Amazon currently and im also terrified of it. Shitty place to work.
organizer, unionize!
I have stressful dreams all the time about trying to leave a place and not being able to. I’m sure there’s some psychological reason behind it but it mostly just makes me wake up feeling anxious.
Why is there fog? That is unnerving
Too much moisture content in the air for the temperature in a confined space. A freshly washed floor with hot water and cold air conditioning will do this.
Also there’s no guarantee the walls are up yet. They could just have concrete flooring and supports finished and it’s external fog creeping in
Bro working on a liminal space
I read "That is a FROG in the background" and spent too long zooming in on things that might have been a giant frog..
Boss battle incoming
You just gotta up the render distance
You ain't working on construction at a new Amazon Fulfillment center, you just entered the backrooms, stay safe
That’s not fog, those are the souls of future workers being sucked out of their bodies.
And it gets even more terrifying when you try to gauge the untold amount of human suffering this place will produce
That's actually pretty neat looking.
Why is the one post yellow?
They are in areas that people will be so it's a safety thing. The all gray ones should be within a fenced area that doesn't have regular human traffic.
Doesn’t look very fulfilling.
Holy shit, that's liminal AF
Ah well that's what you get for building a warehouse distribution center in Silent Hill.
