We have an elevator where the floor you enter on is B, the first floor is cunningly labeled M, and the floor labeled 1 connects to level 2 of the next building (which DOES have a G, if you were wondering). I once spent two hours in the sub basements down there, looking for the mail room for the entire school of engineering and applied sciences (which isn't listed on any directory).
It could be a deliberate weeding process, but I prefer to think it's a relic of a wormhole collapse some time in the 50s.
This reminds me of some very confusing buildings I've spent time in that were built on hills where there were 3 different ground floor levels depending on which side of the building you were on.
the idea of being in a two story house, two floor building, and it not having a second floor is absurd
Sure there are numbering and listing systems you could try to shoehorn in, or you can take how people live and interact with the building and base the system off that

If it's just two floors do you even have numbers? It's just upstairs and downstairs.

Want to talk crazy? Lets talk Paternosters! I want to ride in one so bad! It's one of those things that just screams "Get Maimed: The Ride!"

I'm not usually one to be impressed by knife-point graffiti, but that's some pretty impressive knife-point graffiti.

Reminds me of the manbelt at my old job. Literally just a conveyor belt turned vertical, with a step for standing on and a handle to grab. Went from the ground floor to the mezzanine, and was open air. E stop was a rope along the side, if you grabbbed it the whole thing stopped.

So, turns out, if you jump out too early, you can stop all the paternosters in the entire town hall. And then you and your mother have to do the doubles 100 meter nonchalant walk towards the nearest exit tout suite.
Hey that's the paternoster I rode every weekday for 3 years!
Oh hey I did my work experience at the Arts Tower! And worked there for a little bit afterwards too, in the Architecture and Landscaping Printing Department. This was what, 13 years ago now? Great job though. Loved riding the Paternoster system haha

Walking to University when I was 20, I'd usually walk along Lambton Quay to the glass elevator, take it to the 7th floor, walk to the other side of the building and walk out at street level on The Terrace.
Why yes, my city did build its major downtown commercial business/government district directly over a major faultline escarpment, why do you ask?

It was always a great place to take visitors! All my family rode it at least once.
All I read is that your family rode in it once and never again. Because they got sliced into bits, or taken by the blackness of the exposed interior of the elevator shaft.

Did you try to get something printed during the crunch time? Pass a USB with all the stuff on it a teenage boy sat behind a desk? That may have been me!

They think flowering plants/trees didn't crop up until sometime during (one of) the dinosaur eras. That must've been a hella weird world.
This is after the Jurassic age just before the Triassic the rainforest collapse lead to a giant desert in the continent interior with lush rolling hills of moss and fungi on the edges to the sea

Please tell me this building had ample stairs.
I didn't know and didn't care, who wants to use boring stairs when you can use the Paternoster!
In short: A lot of clocks use the frequency of the electric power grid to keep time. Lately the frequency was abit lower than usual becuae of a lack of power in the system causing the clocks to lag behind.

It's the pre-industrial answer to the elevator.

But the land of where it probably lived was rolling hills of moss and small lakes and rivers
Okay, so reading that I thought it meant that these were actually gigantic. Like, "this animal was the size of these 100ft tall trees"
It probably was a skimmer as I said moss was everywhere then

Still this does but not the teeth for it
They had these kinda proto-trees well before that. They didn't flower or fruit, they just sprayed spores out into the wind.
Fun fact, we now burn them for fuel as coal!

I mean, that depends on what you see wiping everyone out
I'm pretty sure people eating dumb stuff and getting hurt/dying from it has been a problem since the dawn of humanity, if not even earlier
