In other countries, malls are still alive and well. In Philippines, that is where people literally chill in a hot tropical climate because of 24/7 air conditioning!
Malls are also seen as a sign of progress and modernity for many developing countries, so there is some cultural expectations to building and maintaining malls.
This is now my favorite housing idea ever.
God, imagine living in a retirement community that has a Hot Topic.
A working exemplar of the original vision is still functioning beautifully: "The Grove Arcade" in Asheville, NC.
Oh damn...
I kind of like having windows where i live although it could be cool to live in a gamestop
Hopefully Tiffany will tour them
I dunno, man, she wouldn't have much of a crowd to perform to since malls these days are pretty much dead. I'm at a local mall right now (getting a kiosk phone case), but there doesn't seem to be anyone around.
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
