It’s an c/elevatorthought, hope its okay.
I never seen the insides (or outside…) of an elevator so as far as i know they might be just teleporting me to the floor.
Lots of potential to make a conspiracy theory i’d actually believe in as it makes me feel really cool.

It’s the same with houses. They invented houses to lock you in and adjust outside world.
You might like the 2022 Nobel Prize in physics.
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-universe-is-not-locally-real-and-the-physics-nobel-prize-winners-proved-it/Our world doesn’t believe in that newfangled UDMF nonsense. Give me silent teleporters or give me death.
That’s why I use only elevators like that:
Paternoster elevators!
Elevators exist to give enough time to load in the next floor.
There are a lot of transparent elevators. But perhaps those are real elevators, and the others are transporters.
Yeah, i might also remember seeing one of those, but i think its just my mind playing tricks on me.
You’ve never seen what’s at the bottom of a lake? Could be dinosaurs. You’ve never seen what’s on the other side of the moon. Could be space nazis.
Oddly enough I have. Sometimes it is dinosaurs like alligators or turtles. Most space Nazi’s are dead but they did help the US get to space and the moon.
I always think of what my dog thinks of elevators. She knows you get in it, get out, and you’re somewhere else, but does she understand it in the same way as a car? Or more like pure magic? Because in a car, she can see it moving, and going somewhere else, she doesn’t just teleport there… Idk, shower thoughts, I guess.
Same goes for medicine in general. You take a pill, and headache goes away. How did that happen? Ask a pharmacist/biochemist/etc. Everyone else might just intuitively think of it as magic.
What about phone calls then? How does your voice travel so far? Feels pretty magical, doesn’t it?
Never occurred to me.
Way too many of these where I live, leaving absolutely no room for the imagination in terms of how they work.
There are so many of these it makes more sense to modernize the existing carriages to bring them up to modern safety standards.
The simple cage around the shaft remains, leaving the machinery completely open to inspection for anyone and everyone.
Vertical teleporters then 🙃
Beam me up, Scotty!
Reminds me of a episode of Dr who where a elevator was actually just a teleporter.
“Fuck, he knows. Yes, send out two agents and a cleanup crew.”
Can even be used as an illusion of a teleport!
Anything is possible in a simulation.
I think you would enjoy the film Pi (1998), by Aronofsky. 👋
