Even with near unlimited money the ruling class can only build unimaginative, ugly things.

His model utopia looks like it came out of a Black Hole Sun music video.

[-] BobDole@hexbear.net 53 points 2 months ago

Black hole sun?

Oh boy now we have the cult compound! mr-beast

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 41 points 2 months ago

You will live in the Beast Hype Compound.

You will eat the Beast Bars.

I really hate that we live in a world where someone like him can exist.

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 45 points 2 months ago

He's building gualgs to house G*mers. Mr. Beast will lead the revolution!

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 41 points 2 months ago

It looks like a ww2 pow camp.

[-] buckykat@hexbear.net 39 points 2 months ago

Double-wides and I think that wall is shipping containers. Very cheap cult compound

[-] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago

He's only worth a measly 500 million, can't be luxury everywhere

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 36 points 2 months ago

Is that cult compound at the end of a fucking airport runway? susie-baffled

[-] smokebuddy@lemmy.today 24 points 2 months ago

probably for convenience, wouldn't shock me if beast pulls the starbucks ceo and flies in 3 times a week rather than stay anywhere near his own content creation

[-] WIIHAPPYFEW@hexbear.net 17 points 2 months ago

The first 24 people to get out of the a380 that overruns the runaway into the village get to live within the rubble

*boeing 737 Max

Looks like it’s been shut down. You can see an X painted onto it. Probably don’t wanna land there unless you hate having your license

Although, it the airport itself is still open, it would be just the plot of land MrExploitation would buy considering airport-adjacent property is much cheaper and he can send the poors to breathe in all the cancerous exhaust there

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

Did mr-beast buy up some land at an abandoned airport, loaded with toxins from jet fuel, and wants his playthings to roam around there, then? you-are-a-serf

[-] VILenin@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Looks like a general aviation airport, in which case most planes would be burning 100LL gasoline (the LL stands for “low lead” - so called not because it has low lead content (it’s very high) but because it’s a bit lower than its predecessor).

I used to work as a flight instructor so I was around the stuff all the time. It’s, uh, not good for you.

What I mean to say is everyone living there is gonna get lead poisoned

Edit: This is it

So uhh, living there is gonna take a couple decades off your life expectancy

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

Is it as horrible as motorboat fuel? That stuff is nightmarish.

[-] VILenin@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

I’ve never dealt with motorboat fuel so I can’t really compare, but I can say that it’s not “horrible” in a certain sense - the stuff isn’t sticky and evaporates pretty quickly, it’s easy to wash off, it’s not sticky like jet fuel (it’s almost water-like), it doesn’t smell bad and it’s not as combustible as jet fuel.

In the health sense - well, have you ever bought canned 1970s LA air and breathed it in all day long? That’s what you’re doing to your lungs. And if you handle it up close, most folks don’t wear gloves and it readily absorbs into the skin. It’s basically what happened to the boomers in the 60s but today.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

Fuck. And no meaningful regulations, let alone laws, seem to be able to touch a sufficiently rich asshole that wants playthings at his cult compound.

doomer

[-] VILenin@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

Well, one can only hope that the man hires an illegal charter company to fly him around and ends up augering it into a mountain. Happens not too infrequently to rich folk!

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

Happens not too infrequently

Still too infrequent. sicko-wistful

[-] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 27 points 2 months ago

Suburban ideology

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 26 points 2 months ago

I don't normally support saturation bombing of civilian centers

I am willing to make one exception

looks like someones been taking their squidgame pills

Though it looks like something out of a dystopia, it's actually the set for Beast Games, an upcoming reality TV show created by YouTuber MrBeast in partnership with Amazon MGM Studios that will be filming in Toronto under a cloud of controversy.

my favorite kind of town is the kind of town that has zero shade anywhere

[-] Sauerkraut@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 2 months ago

They wont allow trees within 100ft of (most of) the roads where I lived because drunk drivers kept driving into them and getting hurt... And i hate is so fucking much.

[-] red_stapler@hexbear.net 21 points 2 months ago

Is this just Pig sty alley from kung fu hustle?

[-] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 20 points 2 months ago

Meteor please hit this specific part of earth

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 20 points 2 months ago

Just like North Korea

[-] amphibian@hexbear.net 19 points 2 months ago

Despicable and exploitative for so many reasons

[-] chungusamonugs@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago

Aw sweet. New tilted towers in fortnite!

"Newbies Town"? Rookie mistake.

[-] Sodium_nitride@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 months ago

With that much money, he could just build an actually normal and useful town.
