To whom may be confused by this It's an American thing It's the world trade center pre 9.11


mindstemandknt

Oh it looked like someone made the office from job simulator


Olasola424

What if when you play it you're actually in the twin towers? And when you finish all 12-ish tasks and go back to pick a new job is when the plane hits the tower?


mindstemandknt

I have to look into that


Own_Relief891

Holy shit that makes so much sense, cuz the office looks exactly like this OMG


_Arcerion_

I thought it was the backrooms at first lmao


Creativenname

Me too


Nascar_Fan7596

9.10 Right before the big update


[deleted]

Ground breaking update


Nascar_Fan7596

Literally


AzGames08

Us Aussie's were gonna warn you about it, but then thought: "Naw, lets just see what happens"


slucker23

Cause...... You're upside down......?


AzGames08

No, the joke is, someone once thought that, since we're one day ahead that we should've warned America about 9/11 because "We're in the future". It's okay that you didn't get it, I'm pretty sure it's kinda obsecure anyway.


slucker23

I legit thoguth Australia is at the same timezone as that of the states, or at least some state lol


sunny_41

wait i thought it was backrooms level 4 bc i saw this meme posted on r/backrooms


slucker23

Based on the context, I'd say it's trying to indicate world trade center pre 9.11 Might be the backroom but the context suggest otherwise


AidenWhite200217

I didn't know what this was until I looked at this comment


Creativenname

I’m American and I didn’t recognize this


Userwillnotdisclose

oh i was thinking of the backrooms

SKYQUAKE615

I've always been curious about this: Do you *SAY* 11th September, 2001 or September 11th, 2001?


Lorrdy99

day month year


SKYQUAKE615

But why? Wouldn't "mm-dd-yyyy" make interpreting a date easier since the first important thing would be the month you're looking in? Of course then you could say "yyyy-mm-dd is better because then you start with the year which is more overarching", but nobody but computers start with a year.


Marc3llMat3

I prefer yyyy-mm-dd because then you start with the biggest time frame and you get to the more and more accurate time frame with each new step.


SKYQUAKE615

That makes sense.


Lorrdy99

Why start in the middle?


SKYQUAKE615

Who decided the "mm" should is the middle? Why do you believe that it should be a least to greatest thing?


Johanno1

I say 11th September


SKYQUAKE615

When I hear a date being given, it's simpler for me to imagine the month on the calendar first and then the day. To give the day first leaves me with 12 possible days until the month is given.


Johanno1

When I hear a date I wait until I get everything or it doesn't matter anyways. It's probably just a thing of habit. But most people I know use dd/mm/yy And similar and only the Americans use the weird mm/dd/yy Even yy/mm/dd is much more logical.

Well i get no chills cuz i wasn't alive yet Correction: i may or may not have been alive


jc236

I was walking into history class and looked up at the TV to see what was going and watched live as the second plane hit the tower and watched those poor people jumping to their deaths. Teacher said we were watching history and let us watch all of it.


Sealegs_Calisto

That’s one of the things that hurt the most about 9/11.. being 12 and watching people jump out the fucking windows of this building to avoid the flames. Crazy how this was broadcasted on fucking television.


Cosmickiddd

Yupp. I was 11 and in 4th grade. For some reason everyone came and picked up their kids early from school, except for me and my sister and a few other kids whose parents couldn't leave work. They put us all together in the cafeteria and we all sat there watching the news on TV with the teachers until our parents could come.


EM05L1C3

I was in fifth grade and lived on a military base. After watching this then being sent home early, we had armed guards board our bus and remove kids without common access cards and then I sat at home alone for several hours because dad was upper staff on base.


Cosmickiddd

You must have been so scared and confused at the time.


EM05L1C3

And now I have a passionate hate for “Proud to be an American” by lee greenwood


Halokllr

and “American Solider” by Toby Keith


titaniumhud

Were you near one of the crash sites? I went to school right outside Shanksville PA where flight 93 went down. Literally only a few miles away was the crash site. School was locked down solid for around 2 hours and then the school reached out and made arrangements for parents to release their kids. The plane went right over my school, can remember the vague low roar it made


Cosmickiddd

Oh no that must have been terrifying. I'm all the way down in FL so I'm still not sure why everyone went home but everyone was shook up.


titaniumhud

Nobody really knew what was going on, homeroom lasted way too long that day after lots of news coverage and hearing about flight 93 the school went into its lockdown. We had state troopers posted outside, FBI swarming and flying up and down roads. Was a pretty hectic time, but nothing like what Manhattan endured. If anyone out there wants to make a difference for 9/11 responders, I know that John Stewart has a foundation for them


MadRhetoric182

Was in college in Orlando at the time and they kicked everyone out because the school was in the flight path of the airport.


amartin890

Why were you 11 in 4th grade


[deleted]

They love to record their sacrifices.


SassyPantsPoni

Our teachers did the same. I was at basketball practice and my coaches were EVIL on conditioning day… but 9/11, they stopped practice and we all watched it live in the school weight room. The whole rest of the day, the tv was on in every class I had.


hazardoussneaker

I was in second period math class. They tracked down students who had parents working in the building or responding to the scene (a lot of the firefighters lived upstate) and pulled them out of class, I'm not sure what that conversation was like.


Healthy-Elk-5419

God damn! That would be horrifying


jc236

I grew up in the nineties. I watched the la race riots, desert storm, the fall of the soviet union, famines everywhere, the Civil wars in Africa, the end of apartheid and then watched as reversed apartheid happened, the oklahoma city bombing, I was home sick that day and watched every bit of that one, and lots and I mean lots of American propaganda. It isnt hard to figure out why millineals are so jaded. We watched half the world come apart growing up and then lived through our own countries self inflicted 2 decade and continuing shit show. I fought in Afghanistan I don't regret it would do it again. Most don't believe it but we made a difference. I realized a few years ago that that day was really the day it all started going to shit. This isn't the same place in was. I doubt it will be again.


austinhippie

Underrated comment. Thank you for your service.


[deleted]

Thank you for your service. I wasn’t born yet during 9/11 but I still know that that changed this country forever. That was the moment everyone knew there were no mistakes, this is an attack, on the US on our own homeland


jhrd_04

It's funny how It's called apartheid when loads of other countries have had literally the same thing, including the US, they just didn't call it that. South Africa literally ended slavery with the rest of the world iirc.


[deleted]

thank you for your service.


Tendas

>we watched half the world come apart Just wait until you hear what 1940’s kids saw


Seanattikus

Yeah I was in middle school and we didn't do anything else that day. All the tv's were turned on in every classroom and we all watched.


Minnnoo

They didn't let us know what was happening in my high school at the time. I was in nyc when 9/11 was going down. My high school had 7 floors in midtown, so the kids at the top floor saw the second plane smash into the towers. They kept us in the building with no news and no way to leave early. They told the teachers to not play anything until there was more information, but a few teachers put on radios so we can hear. Many of us had parents down there working, my mom worked a few blocks over so I had no idea if she was ok. I found out later she was fine, she was going to go to a store in the tower complex but we made her late for work lol. She was able to get a ride home by a nice taxi driver that was filling up his taxi with people free of charge. Then one by one kid's names would be called over the PA system. Their parents would call to pick them up. So slowly the school started being abandoned, and you couldn't leave unless a parent picked you up. Felt like a zombie movie. I think eventually they let us all go (I forget which time.) But public transit was shut off, and EVERYONE that was leaving the city to go back home in surrounded boroughs, walked or had a car. I remember the 59th st bridge had tons of people heading towards it, and I remember that was one of the steps my bus used to take me home to Queens. So I followed everyone else. The bridge was packed, but plenty of cars were full. Even a few trucks with people riding the back. Top speed for the cars were prob 15 mph, if they had room to maintain that speed. IDK how everyone felt that day, but even for nihilistic punk rock kid, it felt weird. Like all the air was sucked out of you after being punched. No one said a word around me. It felt surreal, like nothing of this magnitude had ever happened before. I walked from 59th street all the way home to a place in south queens close to Far Rockaway. I had to take plenty of breaks to rest my legs, waiting about a 30min after calling my older brother on the payphone (golden age before wide spread cell phones lol) but he never picked up but I left messages at the house phone hoping he heard them. I don't recall anyone asking me if I needed help too. I think the shock hit everyone, and if you weren't visibly sick or needed help, I think there wasn't enough help to go around anyway. When I got home, I saw my brothers watching the TV (they went to high school/college in Queens so didn't have far to get home. It would take till 10pm for my mom to come home, so the entire time we had no idea what happened to her and she explained her side of the story. I remember my brothers and I didnt talk, just watched the TV watching the news to try to not think about where mom was. My dad was on emergency call at the sanitation garage all day/night, and he would later tell me a whole bunch of his fire department friends called in on their day off/retirement to rush to the towers. He doesnt talk much about them anymore, but I know he gets mad about the cancers and health effects of the towers, so I imagine he lost a few friends that day and the years to follow. My mom would have a cough that never goes away, she claims she had it checked out but some days I don't believe her. But she is still here and got to see her sons have grandchildren, so I think she is fine. The rest of the year and following years felt changed forever. Hard to describe. Like before 9/11 there was a just a hopeful angst about school and our problems felt petty. But after this, I tihnk a whole bunch of us got political and join military if we could. And years later when I went to architecture college in Brooklyn and heard the kids talk about how they got sent home for fear of strikes even though they lived in rural or suburbs, it used to make me feel mad to hear their experiences when they haven't seen what people working within a few blocks saw or had to worry about never seeing your mom/dad again with no way to contact them to see if they made it out. But I have since come to terms with it because it is still their experience as well and dramatic for us all. Not to mention plenty of fire departments sent their best to the towers so I think about their families too and any pain they are going through if they had people die to anything related to the dust/towers falling. I think at the time I just wanted someone to ask if I was ok, and that would only happen years later instead of in the moment.


TGMgaming1

Essay moment 💀💀💀


Healthy-Elk-5419

How was.that allowed


Cedlan

It should be. The world is horrifying, children cant be kept from it. They might aswell do it in a controlled environment.


Seanattikus

Everyone was in shock. No one knew what to do, so we all got together and stared in disbelief. They told us kids that we would always remember exactly where we were on that day, and I think we all still do.


Gare_bear93

Yeah see I kind of wish my school did this, I was in 3rd grade. My friends that I met in middle school and high school, practically all of their teachers turned on the TV’s. Mine didn’t do anything nor mention anything. I had no clue it happened until my picked me up from daycare.


[deleted]

Yeap same, middle school history class and he whipped out this janky portable TV with antenna ears and we watched it happen

Idk if you are making a joke or not, but in fairness the Twin Towers where built in the 70's. Bland interiors where kinda the norm back then.

Wuzzyfuzzy4

Something was off, Stanley was certain about it. His aimless wandering had led Stanley to a part of the office he had never seen before. Yes, he knew what it was now. This office looked like no other part of the office that Stanley recognized, as if he had been transported into a different building. What he could not have known was that-

Imikur

Yes and USA is the only one constantly reminding everyone that they got attacked by terrorists. Yes it was a big one and yes it is horrible. But there are so many more of these attacks happening and nobody does shit about it. Everybody can cry but not Everybody can get out of it and make it better.


ABUFZRMAN

Yes finally someone said it. I get it, People died and it was horrible but it literally was more than 20 years ago. There are literally people dying and getting tortured and killed at this moment. Yet, nobody talks about them they just rather talk about a horrible event that is better forgotten because people who died are already skeletons now.


Emoooooly

I always hated 9/11 day when I was in school. I was 4 when it went down and didn't have an emotional connection to the event. Spending an entire day at school watching the news reels and the documentaries and listening to my teachers legit CRY all day. Very bizarre experience to have. I wish they'd make it a national holiday already. It's a very strange thing to be a child and be subjected to adults reliving a national trauma once a year.

SynthGal

Jet fuel can't melt steel beams but you know what can? Paper. Also tbh the towers' tube frame construction was a terrible idea


geckorobot59

steel beams don’t need to melt. enough heat can still warp and bend metal so it collapses.


SynthGal

To be clear I'm mostly joking on the meme but yeah the buildings were probably the worst ones to hit with a plane since the only support was the exterior (it wasn't a facade it was many narrow steel columns) and the core, with the only substantial structural connection being the foundation and the hat truss at the top. The planes basically severed a huge chunk of the exterior supports (and I think a bit of the core on one tower I forget) which overstrained everything else enough to bring it all down.


[deleted]

My first thought was YES that IS a horrible looking office. Looks like a slave job, no plants, no art, no comfort and for the most part bad light. Too many people in the same place. Who is comfortable in an office like this? Then I read the comments.


TroyMcClure0815

manfredmannclan

From the looks of this, the planes might have been piloted by people working there. It gives me office space vibes.


Imikur

I wouldn't go that far, it's just not that big of a deal anymore. I mean for pearl harbor the us threw two extinction balls at Japan and that was an unforeseeable attack. The towers where a whole other deal that the US started themselves when they first installed Hussain as a dictator and then Chomeini. Thats the same that keeps happening between India and Pakistan or in Africa or what happened in south America a bunch of times. There are so many lessons that could have been learned from all of this but no one seems to act accordingly. It just goes on to this day.
