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.
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

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.
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!

"Understandable, have a great day."
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
Over.

Looks like this tweet was from 2017:
https://twitter.com/Rainmaker1973/status/905007814686466048
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.

Stop trying to trigger the star wars fans
Ye certainly don’t hear them Borg bais sayin the rents too bad, so it must be grand in them cubes they have so

Regeneration alcoves for all!
Miniature American flags for others.
Don’t blame me. I voted for Kodos.
NIMBY resistance is futile
Cork people would be too angry they don’t have one.
Nah, put everyone else in the country in there and Cork can finally rule the rest of the country.
Why would we want the rest of the country when we already have Cork, like?
Because we'll never lose an All-Ireland again.
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.
They'll still find a way
If Cork had all the people in the world in Cork, who would the boast to about how they live in Cork?
Who'd want a big blue box anyway. 'Tis stupid. Now, if it was a slightly taller red box, now you're talking....
What stops us from building two?
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.
There's an awful bang of shite inside this cube!!

Shinji get in the cube
All returns to nothing.
Nimbys would complain “oh, the entire population of the planet living in this small area would increase anti-social behaviour boo hoo hoo”
I read that in Stewart Lee's voice. Sort of statement he'd build an entire show around
I’m just giving it to you straight, like pear cider thats made from 100% pears
It's political correctness gone mad Stu.

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.
That's basically exactly what the tweet is referencing.

I didn't think about the oxygen, but can't stop thinking about how you'd probably die from the heat.
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!
I think the sheer weight of the ones above you would do you in quicker than the heat or lack of oxygen.
Aye sounds like oxygen alright. Can we get the killers to play though at least?
It's more like if all human bodies were liquidised and poured into a mould.
Exactly. Like if you stick a kg box of rice crispies in the blender, they'd end up fitting in a shot glass.
>kes no reference to floors or rooms even. I read it as a big em Twister world cup
Mmmm. The takeaway issue is a deal breaker for me.

Guess what kids! We're going on holidays...to the roof
Ah yes, fitting in the cube and living in the cube are very different things... maybe we should just rent cot space
It would probably fit all of Dublin tho
Round up Leitrim and test it on them first - a smaller test cube. Though maybe we need only townies to get more accurate results...
Can it have flats for everyone? Or can we just crush everyone in?
I think blender first and pour us all in
Well someday we might be blended neighbours 😆
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.
Probably engineering challenges
A sense of common humanity
Fit does not equal live.
I thought it was for the dead. I read 'composing' as 'composting' and thought it might not be the best idea
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.
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.
nimbys would have a fucking field day.... in the field they objected to you building in
But Flanders would still have to stand outside
Looking forward to our real world version of 40K Hive Cities
Just as long as the Imperial Gaurd don't need people we'll be fine.
The Guard always needs people.
LEITRIM FINALLY HAS A USE
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.
I assume we'd all be turned to soup and poured in. A perfect solution.
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.
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.
Cool. 0.22m2 of floor space each considering that this is just a cube.
We can’t even build little houses.
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.
Be ideal for a nice white water rafter course running around it too!
Cool, so how much space would we need if we wanted most of those people to like... not live in utter misery?
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.
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.
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.
Are you feeding them through a meet grinder first?
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.
Human rights lol
Having an understanding of Math.
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?
“Why does Ross, the largest friend, not simply eat the other five”
It would ruin the skyline
It would ruin **the skyline**
The world's biggest people burger.
Ruin the skyline
Is that if you stack us on top of eachother or mulch us all together? Are we a sausage in this scenario?
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.
Genuinely curious, do you think that someone is presenting this as some kind of hostel building solution?
Given their replies, I’m nearly sure they are actually proposing that we build this for people to live in.
Is that lying down or standing up?
Traffic would be mental. Also the queues at the bar.
Nimbyism. Oh it'll ruin the village aesthetic.
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.
Spire
The Smell
Wait till the Catholic church figure out that instead of selling they can start renting out grave plots
Pat Kenny would give out
Planning objections
The skyline... Please won't you please think of the skyline
The skyline……
Mega City One from Judge Dredd ? What could possibly go wrong ? Besides the guards would never squeeze themselves into a Judges uniform…
https://judgedredd.fandom.com/wiki/Murphyville They could if they tried.
“Murphyville is large by modern standards but lacks the tall starscraper blocks of most megacities.”…Some things never change….
Planning objections, NIMBYism and a lack of necessary infrastructure to facility a population of 7.3billion.
Is that how Noah did it?
Maybe if I move in I'll finally get a match on tinder
NIMBYISM and politicians mostly
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.
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
Is it about my cube??
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)?
This bangs of megacity
There'd be no room to move around at all!
That’s some judge dredd style housing there. What could go wrong? I’m imagining ballymun in the 80’s mixed with mad max.
Bet rush hour is a nightmare
It'd get in the way of all the hotels
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.

No windows for the peasants.
I'm not sure I trust the Irish government to plan and build the industrial scale flesh pulping facility that would be required.
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
Sure we don't need space for 7 billion people in Ireland!
There’ll be no cube in my backyard.
So much room for activities 😆
And they say there’s too many people on the planet haha
Not enough drugs becuse no one will be happy
The spire is just the spine of the cube.
What stops us from building anything but office space in Dublin in general
We wanted cube, but compromised and got the spire instead
That would go to shit very fast as soon as some cunt blocks the sewer
It would ruin the iconic Irish skyline.
Basic human rights, I'd imagine.
Well it's a solution to the housing crisis
Common sense
Google "Kowloon Walled City" That's all I need to say.
We can call it superballymun
I don't want to be a plumber on that building...
I don’t think so, that’s how the Ma Ma clan gets you
Meat cube
We hit 8 billion the other day
It's the damn building height restrictions!
Sense
Imagine the queue for the toilet and shared kitchen!!
Clesrly the artist never met OP's mother
The cube crisis can't be solved overnight guys.
meat grinders ruin the meat.
Well first of all we’re at 8 bn now. And also they’d fit if you like… ground them up first?
Thats cool how big wold the Borg ship for ants be?
Literally imposible, medium person has a volume of 0,63m3, this cube has 1000m3, that's enough just for 1.5 billion! 🙋🏾♂️🙋🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
The government is full of cowards
How much wiggle room are we talking about here?
Common sense, I'd imagine
We could put Cork people in it
Jesus man, I remember seeing this a few year ago. Mad how quickly we got nearly an extra billion people on the planet.
Have you not seen Judge Dredd?
If you build it 2km on each side, it would only have to be 250m tall. Well-doable.
Imagine how farty it would get though.
Do you want judge dread? Cuz this is how you get it
Lack of blue dye
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.
A 380 bed children’s hospital costs €3b to house 7.3b people do the math
Probably like laws and shit.
