youve just explained the underlining concept of the backrooms
The law of 3 applies.
My parents wouldn’t have gone there, but my little brother and I would’ve explored the shit out of places like this. Seeing someplace so empty would’ve triggered our imaginations, we’d probably end up pretending the room is actually full of stuff but it’s all invisible or something.
My favourite part of the Backrooms movie is where he says “It’s backroomin’ time”.
“Where have you been, Clark?”
“There are some rooms in the back of my furniture store.”
“Wait, say that again…”
Maybe the real backrooms were the friends we made along the way 😌
That’s actually a pretty good summary of the plot.
“Backroom jockey!”
Living rooms bedrooms dinettes!
Ulterior motives!
Ohhhh, Back Rooms!
Dad here.
I generally struggle with this type of event so it’s great to go explore with the kids and have an excuse for not mingling.
It doesn’t really matter that the room is boring or liminal or whatever. Exploring is grade-A entertainment for toddlers. There’s guaranteed to be a dropped paperclip or pen cap or some other treasure in here somewhere.
I feel seen. Love taking the kids with me literally anywhere. So much better hanging out them over adults.
This is so real. I got taken to so many MLM conferences and health/wealth events as a kid and this is 100% like the upstairs rooms we found to wait it out.
Holiday Inn hotels were required to have 2/3 conference rooms and an attached Restaurant.
All across America are holiday Inns with empty vaults like this, with some form of “top of the line at the time” conference room system in disrepair.
This must be where the almond water comes from.
Giving me serious Black Mesa vibes.
My dad had some powerful friends. They rented out an aquarium in Tampa for a wedding, and my family went. Because the place was completely empty, my parents just let me run where ever I want. I gotta tell you, that’s some real backrooms shit.
Backrooms?
I remember this machine, it was out of stock on everything but Fresca and wouldn’t give me my quarters back.
Mine just carried different colors of “cola”.
Yes. Cola, Orange Cola, Rootbeer Cola, Mister Cherry, or Zest!*
`* ~All colas except Zest and sold out. Pressing Zest! delivers Orange Cola.~
or stocked with Mr Pibb in place of Dr. Pepper and Sierra Mist for Sprite.
Pibb is the shit
Sierra Mist was superior, fight me.
7up crew
Yes, but it’s this Pepsi vending machine
Now this is podracing!
There’s a car shop near me that still has one of these in use.
Ask owner if can buy if break, then buy new machine and put old poster in.
Liminal pepsi

I used to play around in a mormon church when it wasn’t in service because it was like one of these weird liminal spaces in the halls, and the main chapel part was like a space ship. I had access because it was where my choir class was held, since it had a music hall.
I was gonna say this meme is super mormon-church-y
Can’t be. No burlap-sack wallpaper.
But yeah, the general point is well taken. They’re so value-priced institutional. You could just imagine the bean counters in Salt Lake revising the approved architectural drawings and paint colors for Tithing Generation Facility, model 1988, rev. 3.
Lmao scratching that shit was the only stimulation I ever got in there
memories…
Which is wild since they have 250+ billion net worth, including investment and property holdings, like malls. Which are also liminal. Oh snap, I think I’m onto something here.
