This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Honestly, perfect place for datacentres. Unlimited water in the pool area, electric sockets are likely live, unlimited space, no noise pollution, just have to put a data cable though the threshold.

I'm pretty sure the backrooms if they were real, they wouldn't be a horror thing, it would be full of people mapping it and living there. there would be a small organised millitia to neutralize dangerous stilllives. Plenty of hydroponic agriculture.

It would be interesting to see cities in the backrooms, where being there is just a normal thing... Nevermind, it already exists, it's called the Toronto Path

Yes, but the still lifes aren't the only danger. There is still the time warps, instability of walls and flooring with the null zones, the bacteria.

And IMO contact with the backrooms clearly a induces a form of paranoid schizophrenia, as seen by some of Kane's work.

So it would be an inevitable disaster to use the backrooms for any useful purposes.

I'm obviously only going be the movie lore, I have not consumed the entire backroom corpus

Fair enough, it's quite a bit of content to watch through

i think the randomly appearing and disapearing chairs and stuff might mean a datacenter would need a lot of maintenance

We can study it and use it? what if we get multiple server racks and clip them all into each other, triple the compute power on the same space, although cooling would be the limiting factor.
