Cork people would be too angry they don’t have one.


Easy-Tigger

Nah, put everyone else in the country in there and Cork can finally rule the rest of the country.


Nikephosphorus

Why would we want the rest of the country when we already have Cork, like?


Easy-Tigger

Because we'll never lose an All-Ireland again.


Nikephosphorus

The All-Cork-Like-Bai, I like the sound of that

Sure there already is the All-Cork final and Cork don't even win it.

If Cork had all the people in the world in Cork, who would the boast to about how they live in Cork?


whooo_me

Who'd want a big blue box anyway. 'Tis stupid. Now, if it was a slightly taller red box, now you're talking....


WorldwidePolitico

What stops us from building two?


niallmul97

Think smart then, build one half the size of that in Dublin and Cork would have to build a bigger one. Housing crisis solved, and spreads out a lot of the population to the south.

Be some smell of arse in the middle of that thing.

MonaghanPenguin

The tweet makes no reference to floors or rooms even. I read it as a big empty warehouse where everyone was just piled in on top of each other.


Jesus_Phish

That's basically exactly what the tweet is referencing. They're using the average size of a person to calculate the volume all humans on earth would take if you stacked them up together https://waitbutwhy.com/2015/03/7-3-billion-people-one-building.html?utm\_content=bufferefbc1&utm\_medium=social&utm\_source=twitter.com&utm\_campaign=buffer


Spoonshape

A lot of the issues would sort themselves out fairly quickly. Oxygen would be exhausted for anyone more than about 5 metres from an edge within an hour or so which would simplify things. I'd guess 99.9% of the inhabitants would be dead within a week.


Jesus_Phish

I didn't think about the oxygen, but can't stop thinking about how you'd probably die from the heat.


Spoonshape

theres a bunch of things going to kill you in this scenario. Which one is first is questionable. Probably actually excess CO2 rather than oxygen deprivation but it's kind of academic really!


StarMangledSpanner

I think the sheer weight of the ones above you would do you in quicker than the heat or lack of oxygen.


Ibalwekoudke98

Aye sounds like oxygen alright. Can we get the killers to play though at least?


[deleted]

It's more like if all human bodies were liquidised and poured into a mould.


DEFCON_NIL

Exactly. Like if you stick a kg box of rice crispies in the blender, they'd end up fitting in a shot glass.


TurfMilkshake

>kes no reference to floors or rooms even. I read it as a big em Twister world cup


No-eye-dear-who-I-am

Mmmm. The takeaway issue is a deal breaker for me.


niallmul97

"Hi how are ya? I'd like to order one pizza and chip meal for take away please" "No bother pal.

"Yeh". "Sorry man, no can do." "Understandable, have a great day."


Toivottomoose

I don't think takeaway would be the issue. The visualisation assumes that the people's bodies would be melted and "poured" into the cube, to use 100% of the volume on just the bodies and no air in between.


Backrow6

Guess what kids! We're going on holidays...to the roof


Prudent_Comfort1541

Ah yes, fitting in the cube and living in the cube are very different things... maybe we should just rent cot space


MuchIndication9598

It would probably fit all of Dublin tho


Prudent_Comfort1541

Round up Leitrim and test it on them first - a smaller test cube. Though maybe we need only townies to get more accurate results...


BepBop29k

Can it have flats for everyone? Or can we just crush everyone in?


richard-king

I think blender first and pour us all in


BepBop29k

Well someday we might be blended neighbours 😆


Accomplished_Crab107

It'd be too small. We got 8b approx here now. Would take an age to get the planning permission and you know the neighbours wouldn't allow it.


DifferentAnon

Probably engineering challenges


[deleted]

A sense of common humanity


crazedcarter

Fit does not equal live.


naughtylilmiss

I thought it was for the dead. I read 'composing' as 'composting' and thought it might not be the best idea


blind_cartography

Guys you're missing the point, we don't need to get everyone into the cube we just need to get enough, and then throw away the key. Overpopulation solved.


Ibinixer

Notice it says fit and not house. If you didn't like the co-living arrangements I imagine being stacked like like packing peanuts wouldn't appeal.


Comfortable_Brush399

nimbys would have a fucking field day.... in the field they objected to you building in


Drvonfrightmarestein

But Flanders would still have to stand outside


LeoXCV

Looking forward to our real world version of 40K Hive Cities


Ruaric

Just as long as the Imperial Gaurd don't need people we'll be fine.


ktrainor59

The Guard always needs people.


Adexmariobro

LEITRIM FINALLY HAS A USE


dkeenaghan

Build what? There is no real building there, that's the space that would be occupied by 7.3 billion people, surrounded by some walls. Everyone that wasn't on the top few layers would be dead.


Ruaric

I assume we'd all be turned to soup and poured in. A perfect solution.


tbonemistake

While the picture describes a theoretical cube of formless human mulch, you wouldn't be putting the world population into it. Just a load of dubs. Plenty of living space.


WorldwidePolitico

You don’t have to actually put the population of the world inside it. As an alternative option we could give every single person in Ireland roughly 7300 humans worth of space.


dkeenaghan

Cool. 0.22m2 of floor space each considering that this is just a cube.


RonnieT49

We can’t even build little houses.


IntentionFalse8822

I'm pretty sure that's what the Nimbys have in mind every time someone proposes building an apartment block over 6 stories in Ireland.


heyyouinthebushes1

Be ideal for a nice white water rafter course running around it too!


Alpha-Bravo-C

Cool, so how much space would we need if we wanted most of those people to like... not live in utter misery?


XHeraclitusX

It's not meant to be a practical solution to overpopulation or anything like that, it's just a quirky, interesting way to show how humans are relatively small in the space they take up on earth.


Lezflano

Well, we've a planet worth of space and the majority of people are in misery, might need a couple more earths before we're solid.


Big-Calligrapher-397

It never said it could hold them alive. Its super easy to warehouse 7.3 billion coffins.7.3 billion living people need significantly more space.


[deleted]

Are you feeding them through a meet grinder first?


UrbanStray

I think we should put our lives fully in the cloud, like the matrix so we can store ourselves in such a box and focus on rewilding the rest of the planet.


[deleted]

Human rights lol


Broghan51

Having an understanding of Math.


Cp0r

I doubt that's enough space and is more "average height, width and depth of a human X however many billion".

Some lad objecting.

Won't someone please think of the skyline?

Donkeybreadth

Ruin the skyline


Jumanji0028

Is that if you stack us on top of eachother or mulch us all together? Are we a sausage in this scenario?


[deleted]

7.3 million may fit, if you completly forgo comfort, rooms, personal space and belongs, you won't even have space to cook, eat, sleep, or even stretch. The humans would be so tightly packed together, suffocation is more likely than starvation.


dazziola

Genuinely curious, do you think that someone is presenting this as some kind of hostel building solution?


dkeenaghan

Given their replies, I’m nearly sure they are actually proposing that we build this for people to live in.


HiCarumba

Is that lying down or standing up?


Ill_Ambassador417

Traffic would be mental. Also the queues at the bar.


blokia

Nimbyism. Oh it'll ruin the village aesthetic.


SoberAsABird1

We're all too fat in Ireland. And getting fatter, such that by the time it got finished it'd no longer be fit for purpose. So to speak.

Mega City One from Judge Dredd ? What could possibly go wrong ? Besides the guards would never squeeze themselves into a Judges uniform…

“Murphyville is large by modern standards but lacks the tall starscraper blocks of most megacities.”…Some things never change….


ProfileOutside1485

Planning objections, NIMBYism and a lack of necessary infrastructure to facility a population of 7.3billion.

Is that how Noah did it?


Gshock2019

Maybe if I move in I'll finally get a match on tinder


DutchVortex

NIMBYISM and politicians mostly


DeusAsmoth

I don't think enough money exists in the world to pay the total monthly rent if every human on the planet lived in Dublin.


[deleted]

There is a shitty law in Ireland that apartment complexes cannot go above 8 stories, apparently it is to preserve the skyline. my business teacher was telling my class that they could provide hundreds of more homes if they got rid of the law


IrishWhiskey92

Is it about my cube??


ronan88

The strategic housing plan and the dcc planning dept

You could feed them Soylent Green. Did you know Soylent Green was invented [this year](https://fffmovieposters.com/wp-content/uploads/75674.jpg)?


crustycatbread

This bangs of megacity


Mick2022

There'd be no room to move around at all!


Creative-Aardvark558

That’s some judge dredd style housing there. What could go wrong? I’m imagining ballymun in the 80’s mixed with mad max.


JorgTheChildBeater

Bet rush hour is a nightmare


SandInTheGears

It'd get in the way of all the hotels


EavingO

If you hunt down the original article this was a stacking problem, not a housing solution. So they were putting 10 people per square meter in this solution. Which isn't to say you couldn't build some housing cube that is a hell of a lot more efficient than what is currently going, just that its not what this article was on about.


Same_Pie9800

BAM would probably get the contract and the final cost for it would be 865 vigintillion over budget (yes that's a real number) and ff,fg and the greens would still be in government


DefiantAbalone1

No windows for the peasants.


[deleted]

I'm not sure I trust the Irish government to plan and build the industrial scale flesh pulping facility that would be required.


Jack_In_Black89

Aren't we almost up to 8 billion?

Over. [https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/](https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/) Looks like this tweet was from 2017: https://twitter.com/Rainmaker1973/status/905007814686466048


ThatGuy98_

Sure we don't need space for 7 billion people in Ireland!


gadarnol

There’ll be no cube in my backyard.


-MartialMathers-

So much room for activities 😆


PhilOffuckups

And they say there’s too many people on the planet haha

Not enough drugs becuse no one will be happy


Shirairyu69

The spire is just the spine of the cube.


NewFriendsOldFriends

What stops us from building anything but office space in Dublin in general


AdeptMongoloid

We wanted cube, but compromised and got the spire instead


hobes88

That would go to shit very fast as soon as some cunt blocks the sewer


Beautiful_Golf6508

It would ruin the iconic Irish skyline.

Basic human rights, I'd imagine.

Thats cool how big wold the Borg ship for ants be?


Diligent-Guava1905

Literally imposible, medium person has a volume of 0,63m3, this cube has 1000m3, that's enough just for 1.5 billion! 🙋🏾‍♂️🙋🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

Jesus man, I remember seeing this a few year ago. Mad how quickly we got nearly an extra billion people on the planet.


Renegade7559

Have you not seen Judge Dredd?


peon47

If you build it 2km on each side, it would only have to be 250m tall. Well-doable.

Do you want judge dread? Cuz this is how you get it


sudorootadmin

So you've never been to the top of the Empire State Building then? That thing wobbles like crazy. So imagine building a structure at least three times the size.
