  i have a computer in the office where i work. the bearings are off on the hard drive. occaisionally it makes this high pitching squealing/grinding noise.

  i don't want to know what kind of noise that thing might make if the turbines go up.

  it probably would emit a sound that could make people in a 50 mile radius evacuate their bowels immediately

  • the horrible screeching sound coming from it would be 100x worse in a skyscraper.Jaline

  itd be cool if you had control of your own level then you could choose which views you fancied depending on what room you were in.

  but with it being part of a "whole spinning building" would just be shite

  I feel like I'm fucking spinning most of the time anyway, so this would just add to the noise in my head.

  I can see it's aesthetic merits, cascading movement and the idea of an ever changing vista but surely it would be a bit disorientating to be constantly moving.
