Reject Cathedrals, Embrace Orb

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
- No. I wouldn't be. I think those giant skyscraper screens are cringe as shit. Simply make prettier buildings that don't cause massive light pollution. I think a neat old stone church is extremely a lot cooler than any fancy skyscraper covered in screens
- I think skyscrapers are overrated, but at least they have functional interiors. What is inside of the orb?
, 50 years from now
I admire your optimism that it'll last that long
- 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
- My life for 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.
- Turn the Vatican into a mosque

Better than trains

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

this giant vanity project is better than mass transit

until america gets a functional rail network (forever).

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.

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.

Children's screams replaced with the Baby Shark song

The light pollution sphere

"Heaven isn't real, but hell is"

-medieval mason upon seeing the society that produced the orb

be sure to ask which god when we're in giant eyeball mode

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

what's orb mommy's take on this

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

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

I gotta admit though the concerts inside look dope af

But yeah what a fucking waste

LEDs on the inside is cool. Putting them on the outside is being a public menace.
- Exactly. The stage, as a venue, is cool. The building is not.
- That's kinda what Vegas is all about though. Even if I were supreme dictator, I'd still let Vegas (well, Paradise) be pretty much as it is today tbh. "Special Economic Zone" or whatever like Macau.
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
I don’t care if it looks cool you do not say that because that gives validation to the thing

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

I need a Fallout New Vegas remake.
- Mods have been getting far, far more advanced in recent years, as in the last 1-2. Real time reflections were added recently, along with real shadows.
- Sadly the only thing known planned was FO3 Remaster...in 2024 but with COVID delays and other stuff more like 2026 or more.

All hail the future Wigsphere!

Sir this is the scariest day of my life

No God would allow that orb

God damn it, you don't need to swing to extremes to feel the presence of anything meaningful, forget God

Speak for yourself. I won't crack a smile until Michael Bay blows up a 1/64 scale model of the orb with tannerite. No I will not accept CGI

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

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.

They already pedestrianized the original strip, North Fremont St. And even put a roof over it and covered the ceiling in LEDs and ran a zip line under it.
Vegas Blvd reeks of Tyson's Corners. Cheap real estate with zero zoning. Mega corps but huge tracks of lands and run their own roads with no coordination. If you want to pedestrianize it, then every casino along it will have to reroute whatever roads through their property to the roads behind them.
- If you want to pedestrianize it, then every casino along it will have to reroute whatever roads through their property to the roads behind them.
  The casinos on the strip already all have back/off-street entrances, it's where most of the parking is. You'd still allow east/west traffic on the major roads like Flamingo and Tropicana, and if they really want to keep those front entrances they could retrofit them to run trams up to them. They could even have a different tacky tram for each hotel or something.
  If they're super concerned about losing the 'freedom' to drive down the strip then they could have select hours where they open it to (some) cars like how they periodically close it for pedestrians now for things like New Years and whatnot.

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.
