I mean if the building starts moving

I was up at the observation deck during an earthquake once

that must have been super exciting

did the ball move?

i just wonder if you even felt anything

no i couldn't see any apparent moving

that one we could see is a model on display actually

yes the 101 is impressive

I just looked it up, the ball is the real ball. not a model on display.

but the bottom is supported by hydraulic stuff so it doesn't look like its moving

yes the hydraulic suspensions

I am just questioning their size compared to the size of the ball

its protection seems somewhat limited though

the hydraulic suspensions seem to be there to limit the movement of the ball so that it doesn't swing out of control

The ball may provide ample suspension from horizontal quakes but the same can't be said for quakes with a lot of vertical movement

if theres vertical movement shits fucked no matter what you do, thankfully thata pretty rare

another small quake right now.

poor Hualien tbh

Also Taiwan looks like a sweet potato

🤔

a sweet potato can look like anything

yes but the typical sweet potato is longish and slightly curved like that

no offense intended but please consider for a moment

lol

Is that your home?

Yeah. Fresh cracks

Do you live in a tall building?

somewhat. but this is pretty common

the cracks keep forming between plaster wall dividers

if it were concrete walls i'd be in trouble

Sure, doesn't look cool anyway

i have bad feeling another large earthquake soon.

this is how people here feel 24/7

stay safe fella

get it inspected. It could be something simple like external damage on the plaster layer (assuming reinforced concrete structure with masonry walls)

if you're renting, move out ASAP
