Sodapoppin Reacts to Construction of 'THE LINE'

[@MegaBuildsYT]

Thank you for watching our video!

[@DakotaZ162]

Thanks for making them :)

[@notdoxxable6333]

I cant wait to live on the lower slum floors that never see the sun Poggies

[@F34RDSoldier805]

Eaxactly what i was thinking. It's going to be a lot more of a part of some psychological sci-fi horror than anything good. As if the upper class didn't treat the mid to lower class bad enough, even more so in that country. Reminds me of the move "The Platform".

[@weirdo3058]

@@F34RDSoldier805 something like this was in Black Mirror, they had their own little apartments and they cycled to earn points to be able to buy food, toothpaste, shower etc. they were surrounded by screens 24/7 as the walls in the contraption were made out of tv screens

[@BoondockDevil]

This Line is just one step closer to a Hive City

[@nomanmon]

How is that different from working 8+ hours a day in a warehouse/office.. with minimal windows? Bro they'll have lights, a lot of them surely.

[@nomanmon]

"slums".. you think living in this would be affordable for everyone bro? lol

[@slappyfizz841]

Dawg really played ark extinction and said "let's do this"

[@cmac6136]

Or like gen 2 . Just a city line across the center of the map.

[@vanderin]

More like he read the Warhammer 40,000 lore and thought, "If I don't do this, someone else will."

[@MrGrifft]

Think of the sheer amount of steel required to create even a portion of this, will Australia be able to sell their steel? IIRC most of it is already pre-purchased by China. Expect massive new mines in Africa & South America. Very few countries are opening new coal mines, which is required to make steel. The solar power will also be insanely expensive as China has purchased most of the polysilicon.

[@GeremyG]

Bro how does a city have cinematic trailers

[@1100MC]

best possible scenario is this structure becomes a centerpiece for a dystopian story. On a serious note I don't think they'll build it all in one go otherwise most of it would be uninhabited, just like any apartment complex or any commercial/residential buildings they'd need tenants first or it'll just be like China's abandoned cities.

[@Ollen1982]

The biggest issue I have with the line is the cost of living. It’s going to be a rich persons paradise and there simply isn’t enough rich people to fill the line. If a large amount of lower paid citizens join you also run the issue of what typically happens in lower poverty areas.

unless you live in the extremities, you are literally trapped in a hallway shaped prison..

"you will live like bugs and own nothing, you will be happy" Sick of hearing about stuff like this all the time.

[@nomanmon]

Take all of those years to build buildings, like the trade center, due to lawyers, permits, funding, noise complaints (construction), etc. If all of those are gone, it would take a fraction of that time to build it... Not to mention, The wall is a different build entirely. Could be extremely doable, especially with a wealthy country backing it. If other countries get involved, the work force could drastically increase (although I'm sure they're fine).

[@andreasdagen]

I suspect they might be using "the line" to cover up that they're actually building a gigantic particle accelerator to achieve time travel.

[@badabing7044]

It's depop.. I see what you are saying but no need to reply.. it's depop. boomers have the worst God complex of any generation.. they've completely dismembered progression as much as you want to believe progression is real.. the new religion is regression. I'm sorry you were born during this difficult transition.

dude they will never build this bs. stop smoking reeferr

"Why are they acting like there's not gravity" Wow lol

[@dylandreisbach1986]

I just hope they did their math right. The wind forces on this building will be unlike anything else needed to be accounted for.

[@DarimWoW]

[@moby1kanob]

Two out of every five construction workers fell to their deaths or were disabled while building New York's skyscrapers in the 1920's

[@moby1kanob]

the math is bad on the building taking 8 years and comparing it to the wall...that building has full infrastructure inside, offices, internet, bathrooms, many many floors, these walls are just barriers....wont take anywhere near as long and you can mass produce a duplicated product that fits modularly...so no it wont take anywhere near that long. ALTHOUGH I do agree this is a daunting task that is doubtful to happen to completion.

[@OdinWannaBe]

never gonna happen yeah, not the first and not the last

[@vanderin]

Not to mention the maintenance and labour requirements after it's built. It's hard enough cleaning the skyscrapers that already exist, imagine those skyscrapers streching into the horizon.

[@Flipflopflopper]

They also are planning on building a railway underneath the whole thing that will cut through the mountains. You’d have to build that under the foundations and flattening the mountains would take a long time

[@VividFlash]

@@Flipflopflopper just build left of the mountain first, worry about the mountain later

[@tinathemacaw]

uh, all i see is a dark cage where nothing grows (because plants dont grow without light and there would be no natural light unlike what the preview pretends). the upper 1% or rich people would live in a sunny pretty green area up top floors, the rest of the place would look like a dystopian underground prison

[@badabing7044]

Carbon is good for the planet.. it helps plants, animals and humans to survive.

[@Kastev30]

There's a reason why we don't see entire cities devoted to wind or solar energy. It just isn't enough; in fact, nowhere near enough. Green proponents don't really take into account just how much energy a MODERN city requires, and this mega-project is certainly just another way of embezzling funds. It will never get created because the physics required for it requires a gargantuan amount of money that even a bunch of rich Saudi oil barons couldn't hope to come close to. Also, that whole "no cars needed everything is within a 5 minute walk" reeks of Soviet commie blocks. And I shouldn't have to tell you how those turned out and how people living in them absolutely despised them.

[@nomanmon]

I hope it truly happens. It would be a revolutionary feat for humans, by far. And hopefully open up people's minds to thinking outside of the box. I think the future is us pushing toward complete automation, and standard income for all humans (instead of jobs).. and we pursue arts, education, and further innovation with our time. This could be a massive step~ We will see in-time.

@@Metallijosh100 hope shouldn’t be limited that’s what hope literally is. Rational thinking and hope has no relation so why shame the people who have hope and tries to do something for theirs? If you wanna hate/criticize sure, but blaming the people who are actually trying is degenerate.

[@Rai98Chu]

@@scoutwilliams5875 You mean blaming people who are actively trying to waste trillions of money on mega projects that'll 99% fail? How is that degenerate?

@@Rai98Chu waste? It’s his and their money invested in something they believe in. You can’t waste money, you never own it in the first place you just distribute it

[@Rai98Chu]

@@scoutwilliams5875 Why do you think the government thought these impossible projects was "possible" in the first place? Where did they even get the workforce/money from? Who's blood and sweat do you think will be wasted to construct these useless projects? ..And who do you think will profit from it actually succeeding? Everyone in the country? I recommend reading up studies/documentations on the dark side of Dubai, a city well-known for wasting trillions on mega projects. Or just real studies on modern slavery in general. There's also plenty of youtube videos on the topic if you're lazy.
