Oh my god, this looks like straight out of the backrooms

Just go find a closed down mall in your area and wander through it. Creepy af.

For safety, dress in dirty old sweats and be clearly tripping balls and no one will think you have money.

So impressed you had wifi service in the Backrooms. Get out man!

This one is my favourite.

The office floor turned warehouse is making me extremely uncomfortable for some reason. I wanna say it's not fire-code-safe to be in, but I'm not sure that's it.

I’m very impressed with the slight curvature to the floor tile

I don't understand stuff like this. If it is abandoned why is the light on? Who is paying for the electricity, and why?

There’s a fast food restaurant near us that’s been closed for a few years now due to the company going bankrupt. The lights are still on.

That's a lot of bottled water.... Wonder if it'd be still safe to drink; looks like they're mostly plastic bottles and depending on how long they've been sitting I doubt it.

The plastics expire sadly.

Maybe it's almond water ^^

[–] Anonymous_Leaker@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago

There were all kinds of water.
