Plenty of older buildings besides churches have stained glass.

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com -2 points 1 week ago (4 children)

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. πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ

So many people in this thread getting worked up for some reason

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

All because some rando had the audacity to question if a "skyscraper" had stained glass windows β€”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.

[–] MelonYellow@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] brownsugga@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

It’s 1412 Broadway, got some art deco to it

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com -2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I can appreciate your opinion, though there are global standards in place for exactly this and adjacent terms.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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? πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈπŸ–•πŸΌ

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com -3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Awww, did your argument fail completely? So cute.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 1 points 1 week ago

Did I accidentally end up on Reddit? This is classic Reddit nonsense.

[–] brownsugga@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

I mean I just posted a picture of it
