Food is delivered by pneumatic tubes.
Enjoy your pizza all scrambled and your soda is gonna go through nuclear fission 💥
Poor delivery guy 📦 😰😂
I have in-laws living in China, and honestly - it’s a lot easier to navigate those sorts of high rises than you might think.
Most residential buildings I’ve visited have lots of dedicated lifts, so only 2 apartments per floor share one lift. So you would only need to provide something like: Tower 37, Floor 19, Apartment 2.
The Chinese love their delivery apps, too - their drivers (technically scooter riders) are very used to this.
Now the city of Chongqing is a whole seperate matter, that place is an M. C. Escher drawing in real life!
how can people stay sane if the numbers go up in a predictable fashion? My American brain cannot comprehend the horrors associated with repeating patterns in housing style and numbering.
North America, and Americans in particular, love to claim everything big. Big restaurants, big malls, big cars, big highways, big buildings, big country.
Except efficiency is somehow forgotten. So you get 12 lane highways that are constantly clogged with traffic. 100 floor office buildings that have lineups at the elevator between 8-9 and 17-1730. Strip malls that you have to get to by car even if you live next door. And transit that gets you nowhere.
The American brain should be perfectly adapted to this sort of scenario! Just think it like one of those suburban cookie-cutter HOA developments, but vertical!
As for counting with multiple numbers, y’all love to do that already! feet & inches, pounds & ounces etc.
We’ve heard about car brain, this is its cousin, detached house brain.
Tall, wide, building, scary!! OoooOoOooOoOoh
If you think about it elevators are just vertical trains
passes blunt
Naw, that’s escalators. Elevators are buses.
These types of apartments interest me a lot, they become cities in one of themselves, a livable Kowloon
Malls, gyms, restaurants all in the apartment because of how high the density is
Reminds me of Arcologies in Sim City 2000.
Everybody wants Forest Arcos but they keep building Darco Arcos.
Yeah that’s a leave it in the lobby and lot god sort it out kind of delivery
Everyone eats pizza, Everyone is lactose intolerant, Everyone flushes
I found some apartments in that building advertised on some random website for immigrants and those don’t look half bad.
For your consideration;

The lack of quality would be hilarious if if wasn’t so fucking dangerous for people.
There’s a good chance that apartment building has easy to find organized unit numbers that pizza delivery guy can understand. Building may even have multiple front entrances each with distinct addresses.
The pizza guy very likely lives in the building too.
Once saw a (German) documentary about this building. They have drop-off places on the ground floor where delivery drivers leave their goods in locked boxes. Payment and and locking/unlocking of the box is done digitally through phone.
P.S.: This one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgVXPEORuA0
Yeah, I’ve delivered pizza in a city of over 100k people. The whole idea of an address is to figure out where the destination is down to the personal residence. Doesn’t matter if the people are spread out in a single building or many buildings.
I didn’t go knocking on every door any time someone ordered pizza to an apartment. Biggest concern about apartments were if they had a buzzer, if that buzzer worked, and if the code matched the unit number or would be easy to figure out based on the information provided. And if it wasn’t, their phone number was part of the information provided.
You are all absolutely smothering the joke, lol
This wouldn’t be necessary if everyone used the proper peer review process before publishing their jokes!!
The type of reply I was hoping for 😄 good stuff bud ❤️
That’s way more than the population of the whole town I live in.
Why do such monolithic buildings give me such hell-on-earth vibes?
Because that’s exactly what we’ve created.
It’s a matter of perspective and use — high density one place means you can have open space somewhere else, for a given amount of land.
I’d much prefer a few large dense housing complexes, surrounded by green space, than suburban sprawl.
I’d also prefer something denser than suburban sprawl, but I think there’s a balance point between that and what the post is showing.
I think that 3-5 story apartments with shops underneath are the best ones, because they aren’t too dense while also not wasting space.
Make those with decent construction so every cough and sneeze isn’t broadcasted to all of your neighbors with good design so it’s disability friendly, and that is the dream right there.
Yeah, love me a elevator. Especially as a delivery driver (rider?).
Until your neighbor starts up with the gimp suit and webcam show again…
Am I the only one who worries first about trash collection day than pizza delivery (wildly unpopular in China btw)?
I’d assume the building has a trash collection chute. My old apartment building had one.
I was more thinking about the day they take the containers out, and the trucks rotation. If they do it once a week, imagine the smell and how many trucks they need…
I think they have collection centres (within the building), chutes were more of an American thing (“don’t think about the trash” mentality).
Definitely not just an American thing.
And if they don’t, I’m sure that they’d have pickup schedules like any town would.
I imagine with that many people there are restaurants and services within.
I am the pizza delivery boy.
The Deliverator for Uncle Enzo’s CosoNostra Pizza Inc
Unfortunately he is tied up at Peach Trees, trying to deliver justice to Ma-Ma.
Probably not that man for the food deliverer. High density implies having more than 1 order and there are likely many entrances and building numbers.
