[@regpett3730]

I could see what they were trying to do. Once you beat the game and your sitting there in wonder and awe of finally seeing the outside world in Portal for once the illusion is broken by a big wheel coming out of nowhere and crashing in front of you. Now I aint saying this a GOOD joke or even really had the potential for a meme when you have cake and Hearty boxes. But I would feel bad for that one random valve employee that thought this was a good idea to feel like his idea was COMPLETELY overlooked.

I always naturally interpreted it just as a consequence of the counter's overflow. As in, it might have been even just 10thousand days, but if the counter's max value were 9999, this is what would happen, the readout voice would just get stuck on saying 9.

[@Tracktark]

@@MidnightSt Why would it get stuck tho ?

[@MidnightSt]

@@Tracktark because maxvalue overflows can do strange things. we don't know how their datatype for counting the time is implemented, and how the conversion to voice is implemented. i don't know, it just seemed like a plausible thing for my surface-level thought, 15 years of programming experience, abd assuming that the system controlling the facility has some scifi quirks in its implementation

[@kiio1291]

The announcer saying “9” over and over again is probably because it is confused, as it probably wasn’t programmed to go over 10,000 days. That’s about 27 years, and probably when it decided to wake chell up, as it couldn’t count anymore, or it ran out of power.

[@corvetaumbr2410]

Also you can see that in the end of the game, when chell is released to that corn field, you can see that the metal of the cabin is in relatively good condition Metal starts to deterioate after some thousands of years, and that metal looks relatively fine Indicating that the announcer voice was just a error, and they probably decided to change how much time passed between portal 1 and 2 at development

[@Bluecolty]

@@corvetaumbr2410 yea and the rest of the facility would look waaaay more destroyed than what it is in game. 10,000 days is only a little more than 27 years, the overgrowth and decay looks about right for that time period of abandonment ngl

[@Darkfreed0m]

50,000 Years? I don't think much of the facility would be left at that point. About 200 years sounds more plausible because it seems like plants have started to grow there fairly recently.

[@urotaion9879]

I agree

[@kiio1291]

27 years is the most viable option. The computer speaks in days, not years. Assuming the computer wasn’t programmed to go over 10,000 days, it make sense on why it kept saying “9” over and over again, as it is confused. It isn’t exact, but even with the thing running on 1.1 volts, it couldn’t possibly last over 40 years. Especially considering the “stasis sleep” can literally preserve life for that long without cryogenics.

[@mysterycrumble]

@@kiio1291 also nature takes back anything we build a lot faster than people imagine

[@bobbyfeet2240]

Yep. A few decades would be enough for nature to reclaim that facility as we saw it. In 50,000 years there would be nothing left. Remember, even ancient Egypt is around 5,000 years old in the oldest parts and look how little remains. In a desert with no water. Built in stone. Even the human species is only around 10,000 years old. Also, on a millennial timescale, someone would have found the facility long since. It's too big, even underground. You can believe a couple decades, but not millennia.

[@ryeo9907]

7:55 I would like to share some brain, but here are my opinions and thoughts: 1. Wheatley mentions that the reserve power went out, suggesting the main power went out earlier, which could be what maintained the main facility. 2. The upper areas are terrible indicators, but the underground 1950s area would not hold up for 50.000 years and still be safe and functional, being a big point as to why I believe it was 9 years. 3. Valve has previously made drastic changes from early development to late product(example F-stop - Portal 2) so 50.000 to 9 years is totally possible.

[@JuHraj]

There's no way it's been more than 20 years or so. After 20 000 years there would be nothing working, most of the stuff would be corroded or decomposed and everything would be covered in thick layer of soil and plants. Look at photos from Chernobyl. It's been about 30 years since it was abandoned and it looks pretty much the same as Aperture Labs in Portal 2.

[@norr0513]

europeankid98 if I looked at the plants shown in the couple of photos on portal 2, I’d say around 20, less or more. my grandma grows vine plants and they grown way more than that over 2 years

[@skeletonentertainment4201]

A random thought that came to my mind last night. Let's say after Chell defeats GLaDOS in the first Portal game she wasn't dragged back to the facility, she and Rat man are finally free from Aperture but they most likely: A) Killed or enslaved by the combine. B)Eaten by the xen creatures like Head Crabs and Antlions. C)fail to find food in the abandoned and destroyed cities they would most likely come across. Portal 2 truly was the perfect ending since thanks to Gordon Freeman the combine is no more and earth would've been back to it's original state before the seven hour war during those 20000-50000 years, and at least Rat Man died in his sleep, a calm and relaxing death.

The facillity in Portal 1 was left untouched by the combine for some reason, and Portal 2 takes place after Half-Life 2, so it's unknown what time range Portal 2 is in. People have been speculating that Portal 2 takes place far, far away in the future, it could take place when the Combine has been entirely wiped off the earth, or the Combine has successfully extorted Earth of its resources.

50000 years ? there wouldnt be much left of the facilities, especially the ones from the 60s if 50000 years had passed

[@HunterRodrigez]

*****​ and the furniture? Do you really think average furniture from the 60s would last more than a few centuries especially the bed from the beginning of the game? Or all the test Chambers and the huge *METAL* spheres filled with water or some kind of acid? Not to forget that this is a salt mine. And all the electricity still works, even all the lights. Not to forget, Today's concrete and cement doesn't even lasts that long. And those science project potatoes would be dust after such a long time Yes, quite a bit of time has passed, probably around 150 years, but 50000 is just ludicrously overestimated 

[@HunterRodrigez]

***** oh yeah they probably filled the whole facility with ember... Also the half life (no pun intended) of Plutonium-239 which is used in nuclear reactors is only about 25000 years... So yeah after 50000 years there wouldn't be anything left to fire up the reactor again

[@boffse]

***** Some of the potatoes we're still intact and have not degraded since before the first game (the bring your daughter to work day). They hadn't degraded so much. Talk about your plot oversights from valve. and infact, it's only the facitlity ABOVE Chell's overgrown potatoe that had, well, overgrowth which is consistant from the shrubbery overgrowth comming off from the potatoe.. Valve like to leave things open and not say anything specific. They very rarely tie their hands. It's entirely possibly it's only been a matter of weeks/couple of years - and they'll use the magic overgrown potatoe theory to explain the damage, (if 'they' wanted to)

[@Gahanun]

I totally agree that 50000 years is unrealistic even in terms of fiction. There was this one documentary that speculated on what would happen with earth if all humans suddenly disappeared and apparently according to their research even cities like New York would submerge and erode in terms of centuries at the maximum. Just for comparison 50000 years ago first humans of our species left Africa. This would mean that another history of modern man would pass before the events of Portal 2. That just seems weird, sorry.

Plants wouldn't have just started growing. The facility was a clean and sterile place miles and miles underground, all metal, concrete and stone. To have all the metal and concrete walls oxidate and break down and have plants grow through would indeed take thousands of years I think.

As for number seven, this is actually probably Rattan's insane ghost rambling in one of his hiding places he found when he was alive, the main price of evidence being that the song played is called "Rattman's Ghost".

And i agree with software try to said 9 years or months and got lagged because of low power level.

[@patrickradcliffe3837]

the 273 year max more sense using the deterioration of the facility and the fact that when Chell leaves the elevator in the second one all signs of the buildings is gone and fields of wheat now grow. 27k years the facility would be nothing but dust and any power system would be long exhuasted or broken down.

[@mushman3744]

Well maybe robots were only just keeping it stable

[@Reatman]

Here's the only correct answer: In the last act of the CO-OP mode, you can hear GLaDOS say the facility has been out of order since 50000 years. This decision was made so as not to conflict with the events from Half Life. If you do not believe me, either watch Let's Plays or play the CO-OP yourself until the end.

[@connorjoy956]

In portal 1 Glados had a line that said "bring you daughter to work day is a good day to get her tested" so I wonder if that's how Chell became a test subject

Most people ask this: who was dragging Chell at the end of Portal? Answer: We don’t know but it’s most likely the _Party Escort bot_ . This is evidenced because at the end of Portal as soon as Hoopy the Hoop falls in front of Chell, the subtitles say: “Party escort submission position” And then the Party Escort bot ‘escorts you to the party’.

[@AverageSynth]

We do know. In the middle of the portal 2 lab rat comic, we see Chell being dragged by the party escort bot, as Rattman watches.

To me, the 50000 years is bullshit. Considering all the events (athmosferical like wheater, or any other things that could have happened in world) I don't really think that the facility could survive that long. The conditions of the structure are not that bad, plants grow pretty fast if no one touches them, in 50000 i think the whole facility would have been completely destroyed and buried under lots and lots of sand and earth. The 99999... thing it's just an error handling of the computer, trying to say an approximate time (it could be that the time passed is so much that it overflowed the capacity of calculating of the computer, or the computer just got an error due to the bad conditions of the facility).
