I still don't get it, personally. I just joined the one I'm on because it was the first one I saw I have no real understanding of what's going on or how it's didn't from reddit other than one person can't power trip on it.

Think of it like different email providers. There are a few big ones, and some people host their own, but they can all (usually) communicate with each other.

Alright, that tracks. But then how/ why do I see stuff from the other instances (I think that's the right word)? Are they all like different subreddits?

In the email provider analogy, you have gmail, but you can receive email from gmail users and yahoo users and any other email provider users.

7

That would be the different email providers in the analogy. Each instance has its own set of communities (subreddits). But if the instances are federated with yours, then you can see the communities of those other instances

Just more servers, owned by different people, all sharing information. That’s it.

If you go to P and check enough doors, you might be able to find one that proves you've been on NP this whole time.

I think is the other way around, we keep finding rooms on the NP floor that were actually on the P one, but we can't prove for sure that they're the same floor.

It's so obvious, though:

[Parking] [No Parking] [Sandy doesn't want to talk to you right now, so just give her the space and time she asked for, ok?] [𝔻𝕆𝕆𝕄]

The first two are separate floors, the last two are on the same floor.

On a serious note, what do these buttons actually mean? We usually have numbers in our lifts.

It's certainly a brazilian (or portuguese, maybe) elevator. These buttons are to be used by an elevator operator to manually control the lift.

They mean: "Parar" (stop), "Não Parar" (don't stop), "Subir" (go up) and "Descer" (go down). The buttons above operate the doors.

Caralho mano, o pegou direitinho. É um elevador em São Paulo e deve ser pra o que você falou por que não fez nada quando eu pressione eles.

Tem que usar uma chave e colocar ele no modo de operação manual para esses botões funcionarem.

Not in the picture are 6 buttons for 5 underground parking floors and the main floor. I have no idea what those buttons do, later when I left the office im going to check out. If this is my last message, let everyone know that I went missing on the name of science.

Shouldn’t have pressed the D button if they didn’t want death

Maybe someone has a more specific explanation, but I could imagine it just being shorthands for certain departments.

Like, imagine a hospital where the third floor is dedicated to, uh, new patients, so you press the NP button.

What is the fan looking button? Is that if someone farts in the elevator?

8

To activate or deactivate the elevator fan, which blows air from the shaft to the inside of the cabin.

Nah, they just labeled the type of transistors they're using. PNP, instead of NPN.

Then it seems like I started life in the "Problemo" level, gotta go find this elevator to rectify this.

You reached the end

we're still trying to figure out if they go to the same floor or not. | Spyke
