Houston or the pool?
Yes.
Wouldn’t catch me fucking in that thing.
Imagine the view from below
With skinny dippers in the pool.
Wouldn't catch me fucking in that thing
“But can you imagine banging in that thing?”
“Why yes, Archer, yes I can.”
I'm not scared of heights, but I don't trust architects, or engineers.
Or gravity. That fucker is always trying to drag me down, smh.
My guy Inertia is even scarier when he keeps forcing you upon an immovable object
Gravity isn't dangerous by any means, Inertia very much is. It's not the fall that'll kill you, it's the landing.
Sudden deacceleration syndrome
You can always count on gravity to consistently do exactly what it intended to actually.
Repeal the law of gravity!
Or Texas 🔫
😂😂😂
And don’t get me started on the weight of a pool’s worth of water
Me neither but I’m also scared of heights.
Im scared of Houston
Architects and engineers in first world countries I'm okay with. Minimum wage builders on a Friday afternoon not so much.
Engineers in the US know what they're doing and have their work double checked, then triple checked, and so on for a long time before anything starts being built
What you might not trust is the construction company, or the glass manufacturer, or the company that made the adhesives used, or even the hotel maintenance staff
I would at least be reassured by the fact that a pool's worth of water weighs several orders of magnitude more than i do, but i am still never getting in this one.
It's the builders you should fear
I trust engineers, just not every engineers work
I'm thinking you probably do, unless you avoid all buildings or anything made by humans.
Then an ominous crack was heard. . .
You trust engineers everyday with your life. You just don’t know it.
If you don't trust engineers, don't use any mode of transportation and never enter a building! Might wanna be careful with roads, too.
But if my Jeep Wrangler craps out again this month because of some crappy gasket or belt, I'm not guaranteed to die.
In the state with the most firearms. Some idiot with a .308 is gonna get drunk and shoot it. I'm not even drunk, and I want to shoot it!
The glass on the bottom is unbelievablly thick.
Or earthquakes
I trust architects and engineers. I don't trust the accountants in charge of ensuring adequate financing.
Are there many guns in Texas? I feel like there are at least a couple. And maybe a few people that shoot them upwards sometimes.
I’m scared of heights, and I also don’t trust architects, nor engineers.
Wow! A view to a parking lot!
Right? First thing I noticed. Why even bother?
It’s high up (which is cool)
I guess if it's your one idea for your one building but why waste that kind of detail there if you could allocate it somewhere else? Like a building (or section of building) that doesn't have a parking lot below it. IDK. Just seems so...dystopic lol. Massive cheapening of something that is supposed to feel exclusive and unique.
Because eVeRythiNg's biGger in TexAs!!!!1!!! 🤪
And guess what people see when they look up…
Y o u r b a l l s
You more than likely need to see a doctor real quick, if people down below can see your balls when they look up…
Summarises the US and Houston in particular.
Swear I haven't seen as many Car parks as I did in Houston. My friend who lives there jokes that there is a Carpark for every car in the US.
Don't forget about the gorgeous construction site on the right. Stunning.
Yes, it’ll be there for ever
You've summarized the United States of America in seven words.
Houston in a nutshell. Carbrained dystopia.
Newp!
I'm with u and OP. Saw a video where an infinity pool broke. Big fuck that from me.
NOOOOOO!!!!!
Is there a phobia for what I'm currently feeling while watching this?
No, it's just called Common Sense.
Call of the void, is the what you would call the feeling of wanting to jump from an edge like that. Some people experience phobia of that, like a phobia of ones primal instinctive self, regardless of fear of heights.
But you're not at that edge, so more than likely you're just experiencing empathy, in this case empathizing for: fear of a madenning disorienting height.
All well and good until Jason Statham rigs it's to break
Yip and he was super sneaky the first time round too.
Wow... that sub has 4 posts and none of them make any sense
Why would you build this in a place where you're looking down on ugly buildings and a carpark?
You haven’t spent much time in Houston I see.
Whoever cleans that thing should put a 'glass crack' decal underneath it
Lol borderline terrisom. Id love that
Please keep Kenny Loggins away from this thing.
K-Log!
Dangerzone
Ah, scenic Houston.. the Dubai of Texas
Gotta love the scenery of all the cars and wasted space on them 🥰😊🥰
Haha thought the same thing! This would be amazing if there was anything of beauty to look at. Nope just grey and asphalt. Really living that beautiful life
It’s not about what’s under it’s the fact that you can see literally straight down from such an insane height
They are already past that, and then asking the next question: "for what accomplishment?"
I stayed here. It was literally breath taking the first few times like you feel like your going to die but you oddly get used to it after a few minutes. really fun feature.
You can get use to anything. It's really funny seeing people's first experience in VR falling off buildings. I wish I could get that first time feeling every time. Ive spent too much time playing basically spiderman.
This is what we call “not worth it”
I’ll just go swim in a regular pool and separately look over the edge of a building. I have no desire to do both at the same time. And I really don’t wanna die that way.
Never will I ever
That’s a no from me dawg.
How bout a regular pool with a bunch of TVs showing what's below so it looks like an infinity pool?
That’s a no from me dawg.
Well that can get absolutely fucked
I'm sure there will be NSFW videos in that pool soon
what a great idea...i would not trust it
I'm not a fool. I've watched Calvin and Hobbs, no thank you.
couldnt pay me...
Horrible view
I would simply swim up at the last second, making me immune to fall damage
I'd pretend to be a giant and step on the tiny little cars and people :D
if window cracked and water pours out, you'll be dragged on your way out.
crack
Nope
I’m terrified of heights so this is stupid but I don’t trust ppl enough 😱 I hear these things need insane maintenance and constant checking for cracks. Eat a red dick dude
"See guys, this glass pool is saf-"
There was no glass
CANNONBALL!!!
Better hope a random shooting doesn't occur in your vicinity
Honestly this could be used in a movie or game to show the player "yep you have to go met THAT later. Have fun when you do!" or just a "yep the situation is THAT bad. Good thing we not there and either trying to escape or solve the problem".
Rich people shit
Hard pass.
If I were to try that, the next thing you would see floating into the video frame would be a large poop.
I feel ill while & after watching that.
Hitman Blood Money mountains mansion mission vibes, so yeah, nope!
What would happen if the bottom suddenly fell out in one clean break? Would a human body fall at a similar rate of the water? Would there be an instance where the water hitting the ground just before a person would create a cushion of sorts?
Can’t wait for the NSFW video of one of these failing
Most pools get pissed in, this one’s got people dropping deuces.
Unless I personally know the engineers and architects who did this, I’m not taking the chance. I’m going to need to see some previous projects of similar near death builds before testing my own fate.
It only takes 1 quake
Why would they spend the money on that kind of pool, just so they can overlook some shitty low rise buildings?
crack
That’s a no for me dawg
Hanover's BLVD Place also has one in the galleria.
I wouldn't slip so much as my foot into that pool. No thank you.
Ummm no way would I be doing that lol.
Hell to the nah nah nah
I would. But I don't promise the water staying transparent for other people to see that too.
Imagine that ledge breaking and all the water sweeping everyone over the side...
Nowhere in that pool is "safe"
That's gonna be a no for me, dawg.
Hell no
Hell no
Nope! 🙂↔️
I would fucking never. Glass breaks? You are going down with all the water. Fuck no. Hell no. No. No. No.
Non-zero risk, no reward
Case closed.
As we say in Australia:
Naur farkin' whey
Cool until an earthquake
"I just want to go on record as saying that a glass swimming pool on the penthouse balcony is, without a doubt, the absolute worst idea that I have ever heard in my entire goddamn life. But you're the men, so..."
- Carol/Cheryl/Charlene
I remind you all this is in Texas, a place where people is known for shooting their guns into the air for celebrating purposes.
“Look daddy, I can see a homeless person through the bottom of the pool”
"I just want to go on record as saying that a glass swimming pool on the penthouse balcony is, without a doubt, the absolute worst idea that I have ever heard in my entire goddamn life. But you're the men, so..." - Cheryl Tunt, Archer
Cool, nice view of a concrete parking garage
I'm surprised that's even structurally sound with that much water, most people don't understand just how heavy water is.
I wouldn't go there even if i was payed to
Bruh I think i clenched my butt so hard I broke my tailbone
Who was the butthead who came up with that lunacy?
I’m gonna be sick
Another place to add to my bucket list.
"HEY GUYSS!!!" *SURPRISE CANNONBALL JUMP!!!
That’s a big nope
He’ll No! And it’s stupid too. Who wants to see the parking lot??
That is nuts.
First time I’ve felt nervous at a glass floor
Getting that water all sweaty
no ninja rocks allowed.
Oop probably peed and nobody noticed
Oh yeah my asshole clenched a little there. Nope.
Why are you in the pool with your phone?
As long as you're swimming, the weight contribution should be the same everywhere, right? So if nothings happening while in the pool on the roof, there should not happen anything while over the edge either.
People on the street be like : what is the half naked man doing up there?
Nope big fat no fking way
Jason Statham would beg to differ...
I-M-P-O-S-S-I-B-L-E
cock cam
I know there is science and engineering but I can’t believe people are allowed to build this type of shit.
I wonder if this pool has a higher concentration of piss than regular pools.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHG
Yeah, that’d be a nope for me. Thank You.
That’s cool but you see a parking lot and that’s about it
The way I just had a heart attack...
Yeah nah after that night clubs glass balcony gave out and killed a few people with a 30ft drop I'm never doing one of these. Glass is sturdy until it isn't.
That glass has got to be like 18 inches thick at least
My balls shot up to my throat watching this
I hate glass. And self assured architects, thinking they could really defy nature
I wouldnt trust this id be far too scared
Instant jelly legs? Yes please.
What if it broke because of the water pressure?
I don’t like heights but I love swimming so I probably would
No.
Really scary part is if you are ANYWHERE in that pool when it cracks due to an earthquake, etc, you are getting flushed out
Omfg
Wow damn look at those views
Oh nah, why they'd wipe it that clean lmao
I am not touching the pool😭🤣
This always reminds me of “The Mechanic” scene.
I know I have many enemies….never getting in that pool!!!
Besides, Gravity and I are sworn enemies…That mofo is trying to bring me down every single second…..
I think it would be cool to put on some goggles, and just relax and look down..
I'm baffled by the structural integrity of that glass. I don't think some of y'all understand just how fucking heavy water is. So for it to be jutting out several meters with seemingly no support beams...
Instantly the scene from Mechanic Ressurecion appears in my mind.
Thats a NO from me dawg!
Yeah, no… I’ve seen the mechanic…
Build a trasparent pool to look at cars and a parking lot...
Aaaaaaand now the water's brown
Who else thinks that these pools are just tragedies in the waiting?
I would totally want to do that though.
You'll never sign me in for Bungee Jump & Co, but this is too good to pass.
That's weird the water is turning brown
Oh boy.. the vertigo...
Looks crazy as long as there is water in the pool I guess your ok
Nope!
If you're in the pool might as well go over the glass. If that glass breaks it's sucking everyone with it.
A state that doesn’t believe in regulations is not one I’d be trusting the company who installed that sweet looking pool. I’ve recently walked on the sidewalks in Texas, and wow is all I can say.
Got me
shitty view and just why..?
If one’s palms sweat in a cool pool, could one tell?
Possibility of failure is only 1%. Better odds than winning the lotto.
Nope
No no no
Wouldn’t catch me in that fucking thing
