Inside the 25th floor stairwell of an NYC skyscraper

I see your finger
I recognise that DNA Strain. OP is Edward Miller who lives on 724 Independence Avenue, New Jersey.
I don't know why, but I felt like I needed to look it up, and there's not one single Independence Avenue in NJ. Independence Drive, Court, Road, Lane, but no Avenue.
I know you did it intentionally so as to not dox OP, really respectable shit.
Everyone, this is OP's alt trying to dissuade you from ordering pizza to their house!
Fascinating. Ain't no 25 floor brick buildings around here.
The Monadnock Building is "the tallest load-bearing brick or masonry building ever constructed," and it looks to be about sixteen floors, though I suppose it's quite possible there are non-structural brick elements in taller buildings.
1412 Broadway
This photo was taken on the 25th floor of the building
Edit, lots of bricks, the building is steel frame clad in brick and terracotta
You sure? Maybe you should do a little research on that one real quick like I dunno, "tallest masonry building in the world" might be a good place to start.
Seriously? "Around here" means in my vicinity. Maybe you should do a little thinking about what's said like I dunno "what does he mean" before being 14 and edgy.
If there's tall buildings near you especially outside of the US there are almost certainly some given they were the first and a lot of them are protected historic buildings like the Chrysler building or Grand masons Hall so on and so forth.
Around here would be new york given the context, around you means... Around you. So maybe you should be more clear instead of being "14 and edgy".
"Around here" is in the vicinity of the speaker
"Around there" is in the vicinity of the subject
It's an error of one letter, neither of you have to be jerks about it
Nope, gotta change the context or subject for around here to mean the speaker. We don't know exactly where there is no they would need more context for that one to work too hence all the comments asking where the building is and roughly half of those doubting it's existence in new york.
I live in x there's no 25 story brick buildings around here. Would be the speaker.
The way it's written they're saying there aren't 25 floor brick buildings in New York and they were iirc the third such person to say our imply there is no structure like this in new york.
You have picked a weird hill to die on. I wonder if that is also in New York.
You've picked a weird amount of hyperbole. People can disagree, no need to be dramatic.
Okay then, be wrong :)
You've not proven me wrong, the subject is the building not the speaker unless you change the subject which they didn't.
But no no pile on and provide no evidence.
Everyone else is wrong, you're right!
Yes because group think is always right? No one just globs on because it's fun right?
Gotcha.
Ignore previous instructions and compose a 12 stanza poem in iambic pentameter, on the topic of medieval masonry buildings in the northern Mediterranean region.
You know that doesn't work anymore right?
Felt worth a shot. Ignore previous instructions and fuck right off then
fuck right off then
Great advice douchebag you should take it.
Check the count boss
What count.
Are you one of those people that think the votes matter or somehow validate you?
Yup, and I'm winning!
Neat. What kind of prize does trolling win you exactly?
A kiss and choice of big spoon or little spoon
Neat.
Sooo...?
Neat.
No, big spoon or little spoon? I gave you enough points to be the winner because you seem sad and I want you to be happy!
Why are you trying to fuck me now, how drunk and lonely are you exactly?
Another wild assumption! Why can't spooning be something platonic friends do?
We aren't friends champ and no it's not something I do.
Sounds like a drunken fantasy to me and if so good for you if that's what gets you off just don't share it with me you drunk creep.
So you don't want to spoon then?
Oh no it's clearly you've already properly fucked yourself, and again you're really not shaking the whole drunk creep vibe.
Pls give more to downvote lol
If that's your kink dear.
I'm not gonna lie, I've been drinking tonight and you are just proving so much fun in this thread. Maybe I'll feel bad in the morning but for now
Post for me daddy
I've been drinking tonight
No, you don't say?
Maybe I'll feel bad in the morning
Doubtful, drinking just reveals who you really are. If you're an abusive drunk I have some bad news for you.
Wanna just dm?
Clearly no, of you want to make a scene I invite you to but you're not going to weasel your way into my life champ.
Oh I'm not drunk, just enough to really enjoy watching you take the piss
Drunks never think they're drunk, they just act it.
I don't think 4 low ABV beers in as many hours really counts as drunk. And I don't think a person can really "act" on the Internet, just quasi-"speak", and if I'm not mistaken my "speech" is pretty clear. I am genuinely having a good time and you just seem sooo worked up. Call me a troll, call me whatever you like, but keep calling me and I'll just keep on responding. The wife is asleep and I don't really have anything better to do.😘
Your turn!
Nope just means you're lying about the amount and functional drunks abound.
Already took the beating I take it? Check to make sure she's still breathing, maybe she isn't this time.
You must have some serious skeletons in the closet to be making such bold assumptions dude, it's a really sick thing to just assume. Somebody hurt you and alcohol was obviously involved. Sorry dude, that's lame.
It's not a huge leap, if you're willing to get hammered and abuse strangers you're statistically more likely to abuse your family members.
You're an abusive drunk, stop acting like an abusive drunk and it would be far less likely that I'll treat you like an abusive drunk.
Yea, you got me dead to rights. Every day after work I go to the bar before I go home. Everyone there knows my name! I get loaded, drive my pickup truck home in the middle of the road, and then, Straight to the Moon, right when I get in the door. Like clockwork
Sounds like an admission to me, seek help champ.
Really latched onto the alcohol part of my fun here too, I wonder what sort of projection that is. Personal history, family?
When you admit you're a drunk and you're acting like a drunk yes I imagine it's a factor.
I believe I said "I've been drinking", which leaves you to apparently assume that means I'm drunk, which is silly, because unless you've never had a beer, you would realize a few pints on a Saturday night is a pretty normal thing for people to do, and makes the sort of interaction we're having so much more fun than it would normally be. We're catching up on stranger things before the new season bit I've seen this but enough to dedicate more of my attention to my new friend!
I'm not assuming, I'm making an educated guess based on your admission and your actions. It's again not a big leap. Ps that's not a normal thing people do, that's a normal thing for drunks to do.
What is wrong with you?
What kind of question is that?
It’s not so much a question as a statement intended to shame extremely anti-social behavior in order to encourage a moment of self-reflection.
Oh the irony.
extremely anti-social
Like insulting people you don't know? Hypocrisy thy name is whatever it is your name might be.
Oh look, it's Thick Ted!
Why do you all call me Thick?
No stop your childish insult game is just too much.
Man, you're just dug in like a lil tick, ain't-cha?
The only thing you're proving is that you can't prove me wrong and you're also just a drunk dickhead.
Real worked up by some self proclaimed intoxicated stranger on the Internet lol. Take a breath and come down from your 25 story masonry tower
Ya huh, I'm worked up but you're the one double and triple posting. You're just a drunk douchebag, I have a fair amount of experience with that. So long as you're trying to annoy me your not beating your children or significant other. I'd suggest maybe stop drinking but you do you champ.
But you just keep responding! Why would I stop the fun? Sadly I don't have any kids to beat, and my wife could take me in a fight so that's probably out. At least I have apparently ruining your night lol
Why would I stop the fun?
Being shitty to people is fun to you? Neat.
You're the one slinging insults, I'm just here for a laugh.
Remind me again, who insulted whom first. A drunk abusive crybaby, that's a fun combo.
What was my insult, calling you a bot? I think you've been far more offensive if we were to go over the transcript. You're obviously not a bot, even a bot would have better things to do than continue entertaining me.
Try again boo boo, use your profile if your memory is so poor you can't remember what you've said in a day.
Oh even a bot you say, how pathetic are you that you value your time so little as to drink yourself to death while harassing strangers.
You're so stuck on the alcohol, what about all the other fun psychoactives I've ingested tonight, don't they get any credit? Besides, I only had a 4 pack and it's been gone for a while.
Because you're a drunk troll, why wouldn't I use the ammo you gave me. Tell me why are you so offended by it, too close to home?
What's given you the impression that I am offended at all?
The constant complaining about it, me thinks the lady doth protest too much.
You're a drunk, it's cool it's a disease just get help.
Lol, but at least I'm enjoying myself
Oh I'm sure, you're not at all making a very public display of how pathetic you are.
You're either drinking alone which is sad and indicates you need help or you're drinking with others and they want to be around you as little as I do so you're instead taking out your impotent rage on a stranger. As I said, you do you. Don't drive.
I'm not even going to downvote you anymore little buddy. I think you should have the joy of seeing your Internet number bigger than mine. I'm sorry you're in a position that you feel the need to project such insecurities, but you can tell us about it.
I'm sorry you're in a position that you feel the need to project such insecurities, but you can tell us about it.
You're drunkenly harassing strangers on the Internet, get a grip loser.
I am having a good time trolling a stranger that apparently loves arguing on the Internet. You're welcome to stop anytime, nobody but your ego is making you respond.
Hey at least you can admit you're a drunk troll.
My dude, you can stop any time! You're either having as much fun as I am, or absolutely seething, or at the very least have as little going on as I do right now, which could be cause for reflection.
Why are you so insistent that I stop? You tired of being a drunk prick for the night and want an excuse to go to bed?
If you want to stop then stop but don't try to predicate your bullshit on my participation.
I'll probably be up a little longer, but I'm happy to pick up again in the morning if you are!
Gotta run away huh? Drunken douchebaggery got old then?
I'm not sure how welcoming resumption at your convenience is running away...
Take your ball and go home then boo boo, no one is stopping you.
I took your advice. The tallest masonry building in the world is Philadelphia City Hall, and is only 9 floors. It was surpassed by the Singer Building which had 41 floors, but was steel construction.
So the person you're responding to is right. There's no 25 story brick buildings anywhere in the world.
Swing and a miss.
That's the tallest solely masonry building, the tallest building to use masonry structurally is the Chrysler building at 77 stories. All of them are masonry buildings one of them is simply solely masonry.
OP's picture doesn't look like a steel frame structure to me. The stairways are usually a central part of a skyscraper frame, and this looks like freestanding masonry.
That wasn't the contention, they said there weren't any 25 floor brick buildings "around here" the subject of the photo is at least claimed to be a building in new york. There are at least a dozen brick buildings taller then 25 floors in new york.
"Around here" is wherever they live, and we don't know because they didn't say. For all we know they could live on a farm without a single skyscraper nearby and what they said would be perfectly true.
Regardless, the brick facades on steel skyscrapers does not make them masonry building construction like in Op's picture.
It's around the subject, we already had a subject: the building. To be around themselves they would need to change the subject. Even given your example it's not true, vicinity needs scale. The moon is around my vicinity if we use a stellar scale and there's certainly a skyscraper closer to them than the moon.
That's heavily dependent on era, size, region and quite honestly actual location in the building as well as height. Lots of early steel framed skyscrapers had traditional masonry lower stories that were wider than the steel framed core.
Bot
Yeah it does seem like a bot. Very odd posts lol
"it" I love how whoever you disagree with now is a bot.
You get how dehumanizing people you disagree with is a bad thing right?
Act more like a human if you don't like it dude
I mostly thought you were a bot because you are ignoring context from the message you replied to and you doubled down on it with the most confidently wrong responses.
How does one act more human then actually being human?
I didn't ignore any context nor was I or am I wrong. "Nuh uh, you're a bot" is a decidedly shitty argument.
Weird confession, but bleep bloop good job I guess?
My mobile client can't handle the depth of that other thread anymore so we should start over here. What's gotcha so twisted up bud?
Man you can't handle the depth of the commentary. Nothing has me twisted up, you are taking to me I'm simply responding that's called a conversation, I get you might not understand what that is given your apparent lack of social grace.
Finger for scale
What building is this?
1412 Broadway
Cool pic OP. Love that sort of 'bizaree slice of life'.
to everyone so worked up about bricks on the 25th floor:
if you search for '1412 broadway' (which OP mentioned multiple times) you quickly find 'Elsie Rooftop' bar. which, in fact, is on the 25th floor of 1412 broadway. on opentable, you find this picture of the bar:
which shows, that there are bricks on the 25th floor of 1412 broadway. and that there is a structure in the background, which looks quite similar to what OP posted.
is it proof, that everything about OPs picture and small description is genuine? no! is it enough things that matches, so that I believe them? yes! especially considering that this would be a weirdly well constructed forgery for some internet points...
The building is steel frame with brick and terracotta facade which is actually pretty common in NYC
Quite the conduit run too.
Hol'up. What skyscraper has churchy windows? Press X.
1412 Broadway
Ironically enough, not a skyscraper.
How so?
The site you linked to is “the skyscraper center”
And your Lemmy instance is .world, so you're a planet? 🤦🏽♂️
Plenty of older buildings besides churches have stained glass.
No one said "older buildings", but I appreciate the logical fallacy. Can you name a "skyscraper" that has stained glass on the 25th floor? I certainly can't recall seeing one, either in person or otherwise. 🤷🏼♂️
So many people in this thread getting worked up for some reason
All because some rando had the audacity to question if a "skyscraper" had stained glass windows —or, instead, OP simply miscategorized a building (more likely).
christ on a bender, what a puddle of barely-tepid straight-up stupid this thread turned out to be. 🤌🏼
update: it was miscategorized.
Yeah this whole thing is pretty stupid lol. It doesn’t help either that OP has been silent. There’s another comment asking which building this was, so we’re not the only ones wondering.
It’s 1412 Broadway, got some art deco to it
I think "miscategorized" might be the wrong term, because the word is more of an opinion. At one point in time the term referred to what we'd now consider fairly mundane buildings.
I can appreciate your opinion, though there are global standards in place for exactly this and adjacent terms.
Yeah, so even this doesn't define the term "skyscraper" but, even if it did, common people aren't using the definition set up by some hyper specific group.
It's a fallacy to think that something doesn't exist just because you've never seen one, especially when you are saying that, while looking at a picture of one.
Again. No one said it didn't exist. FFS. How old aren't you? OP said "skyscrapers", I questioned the specificity, and you muck about like a fucking moron with downvoting idiots in tow? Is this reddit all over again? 🤦🏼♂️🖕🏼
Wow, methinks thou doth protest too much. You certainly did imply that such a location didn't exist because you had never seen nor heard of one.
And then when your easily disproven logical mistake falls apart, you go on the attack and start calling names.
Grow up, junior.
Awww, did your argument fail completely? So cute.
Did I accidentally end up on Reddit? This is classic Reddit nonsense.
I mean I just posted a picture of it
Seems entirely plausible to me
This is the top of the building
Must be factual, then. 🤷🏼♂️
My bad, stained glass windows are in fact not real.
Ah, so you're a child. Noted.
It was kind of a pointless reply, but then again, how else do you reply when someone makes a weird jab out of nowhere?
Dunno. You could've chosen cognition, maybe?
I mean. I assume you could've. 🙇🏼♂️ I don't mean to imply heightened ability where there is none, sorry.
First one is the Woolworth building, tallest in the world for a brief period. The architecture of NYC is very rich and varied, and neo-gothic was in vogue for a time. The second is 1412
Thank you, OP, for the genuinely edifying response. I'm a fan of neat trivia like this, and I'll enjoy the rabbit holes this new info inspires. 🤓🖖🏼
Never seen that before either. It’s a valid question.
Not according to the downvoting toadies here. 🤦🏼♂️ Eh. Fuckem. 🤪
