due to the curvature of the Earth a really long building can't have walls that are both parallel and level. - eviltoast

Aparently, I’ve conflated Level with Plumb, the walls cannot be parallel and plumb. Due to the curve, the center of gravity for the walls would require them to angle in slightly together or not be plumb.

    What a wild thing to think about. On one end of a straight building, it’s a slide. On the other, it’s a normal building. MindFuck
