It seems like one of the dumbest things ever. I hope they carry on. Don’t invest in the future, that’s for dummies, build a giant phallic symbol in one of the least hospitable areas of the world.
Think about the maintenance costs alone…
A straight line is a phallic symbol now?
Yep, the whole world is dicks. Dicks dicks dicks.
But… but MBS is rich so he must be smart, right? No way he could be naked?
Roofing is the most expensive and trickiest parts of a building, so let’s take an enormous skyscraper and make one of the walls a roof. They probably plan for a team of flat roofing slaves working around the clock like window washers. When they get to one end they go back to the start in an ourorobus of roofing.
Wait, so this boondoggle is a boondoggle?
This headline reminds me of how confused I was by Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas: how can the ocean be deeper than the diameter of the Earth?
The Nautilus traveled for 20,000 leagues under the surface of the ocean at various fathoms of depth. This is all expertly explained by the great Kelsey Grammer here.
so like… were you still confused after you read it? or did you literally judge the book by its cover…
I’m convinced Neom is actually a secret plot to confuse future archeologists.
Why are these stones here? Ancient people must have left them in a religious ritual to the Gadgetbahn Gods.
It’s all a blunder, from concept to design to implementation.

I can’t fathom how much money it would actually cost to build the original structure as envisioned.
200 m wide by 500 m tall, 105 miles long with 300+ mph high speed rail underground.
It’s a cool idea, but completely mad to implement such a megastructure with our current technology.
It isnt even a cool idea. The city would be completely unusable: Most cities are somewhat circular to minize distances. The line maximes distances. No organic city growth, instead you have an extremely limiting footprint that allows no out ward expansion. Narrow street and high rise buildings sound like an absolut nightmare to me.
And dont get me started on all of the “artificial moon, robot dinosaur, human gene editing” bullshit.

Wait, what? I’m sorry but now I’m curious and I’d actually like to get you started.
Heads up: this guy did the math. It’s really worth the watch.
