I mean, at least they nailed the dystopian aesthetic

[–] dditty@lemmy.dbzer0.com 27 points 1 day ago

TIL, thanks! My first thought was that it might've been a telephony exchange center, data center, or other networking infrastructure hub. There's a building in my city colloquially referred to as "the bunker" built with a similar hardened brutalist style that houses all the main network trunk connections for our state.

My father worked for Western Electric, the part of the Bell System that handled wiring this building (and others). I'm pretty sure he worked there, at least for a while. The amount of copper wire in that building is astronomical.

Oh ffs is nobody normal? Why does every actor have to be a sex pest?

I actually really liked his character.

[–] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Fun fact: there are some big magnets in there. I have a compass on my backpack and it had a lot of trouble when I passed that building.

[–] nyaskiez@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It would be cool if you could share a video of that

[–] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sadly, I didn’t take one and I don’t live in NYC anymore.

[–] nyaskiez@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ah makes sense. Maybe I’ll ask one of my friends who live there. I heard it’s a cia surveillance building

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Lots of high voltage and inductors which effect local magnetic fields. Probably not too many permanent magnets though, you can see the same thing at local switching stations of you try.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (1 children)

Might that not be a case of the building having a monster concentration of ferrous metal?

EDIT: Apparently lemmy doesn't believe concentrations of iron affects magnets. Go on.

The lack of basic science around here annoys me. Had thought this crowd was smarter than FB Boomers.

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 2 points 13 hours ago

It’s not Gina have a solid iron core or anything, even if it’s meant to be bombproof, it’s mostly going to be reinforced concrete.

Could be that the NSA messes with GPS signals there too thwart drones.

I was under the impression that it’s an old Bell Telephone trunk/exchange, that has since been repurposed by a federal alphabet soup as a data center.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 3 points 8 hours ago

it is a telephone exchange or wire center building […] used for […] telephony, as well as […] for competitive local exchange carrier services. However, it is not used for incumbent local exchange carrier services, and is not a central office. Its CLLI code is NYCMNYBW.

It has been reported that the building is used as a National Security Agency (NSA) mass surveillance facility.[1][2]
