Hol'up. What skyscraper has churchy windows? Press X.
1412 Broadway
Ironically enough, not a skyscraper.
How so?
The site you linked to is “the skyscraper center”
And your Lemmy instance is .world, so you're a planet? 🤦🏽♂️
Plenty of older buildings besides churches have stained glass.
No one said "older buildings", but I appreciate the logical fallacy. Can you name a "skyscraper" that has stained glass on the 25th floor? I certainly can't recall seeing one, either in person or otherwise. 🤷🏼♂️
So many people in this thread getting worked up for some reason
All because some rando had the audacity to question if a "skyscraper" had stained glass windows —or, instead, OP simply miscategorized a building (more likely).
christ on a bender, what a puddle of barely-tepid straight-up stupid this thread turned out to be. 🤌🏼
update: it was miscategorized.
Yeah this whole thing is pretty stupid lol. It doesn’t help either that OP has been silent. There’s another comment asking which building this was, so we’re not the only ones wondering.
It’s 1412 Broadway, got some art deco to it
I think "miscategorized" might be the wrong term, because the word is more of an opinion. At one point in time the term referred to what we'd now consider fairly mundane buildings.
I can appreciate your opinion, though there are global standards in place for exactly this and adjacent terms.
Yeah, so even this doesn't define the term "skyscraper" but, even if it did, common people aren't using the definition set up by some hyper specific group.
It's a fallacy to think that something doesn't exist just because you've never seen one, especially when you are saying that, while looking at a picture of one.
Again. No one said it didn't exist. FFS. How old aren't you? OP said "skyscrapers", I questioned the specificity, and you muck about like a fucking moron with downvoting idiots in tow? Is this reddit all over again? 🤦🏼♂️🖕🏼
Wow, methinks thou doth protest too much. You certainly did imply that such a location didn't exist because you had never seen nor heard of one.
And then when your easily disproven logical mistake falls apart, you go on the attack and start calling names.
Grow up, junior.
Awww, did your argument fail completely? So cute.
Did I accidentally end up on Reddit? This is classic Reddit nonsense.

I mean I just posted a picture of it
Seems entirely plausible to me

This is the top of the building
Must be factual, then. 🤷🏼♂️
My bad, stained glass windows are in fact not real.
Ah, so you're a child. Noted.
It was kind of a pointless reply, but then again, how else do you reply when someone makes a weird jab out of nowhere?
Dunno. You could've chosen cognition, maybe?
I mean. I assume you could've. 🙇🏼♂️ I don't mean to imply heightened ability where there is none, sorry.

First one is the Woolworth building, tallest in the world for a brief period. The architecture of NYC is very rich and varied, and neo-gothic was in vogue for a time. The second is 1412
Thank you, OP, for the genuinely edifying response. I'm a fan of neat trivia like this, and I'll enjoy the rabbit holes this new info inspires. 🤓🖖🏼
Never seen that before either. It’s a valid question.
Not according to the downvoting toadies here. 🤦🏼♂️ Eh. Fuckem. 🤪
