This is neat, I hope one day similar structures are placed in cities around the globe, and it helps ease tension that builds so easily online.


Seriously. Usually the only way we can see images of other places is through media, which may be biased. (Even if the stories are true, the stories which are chosen may not be representative.) This is a really cool opportunity to cut through all of that and just show everyday people.

It would also be really cool if there was some kind of live translation that let people talk to each other in their native languages.


Yea...if it's countries with tensions, people will start mooning the portal and worse hahaha


> countries with tensions, people will start mooning the portal

would make for a beautiful realisation

"how petty our differences become, when we realize we all use the same butt"


Well, I much prefer people mooning each other, or, similarly, the actual happenstance of countries voting for and against each other in the Eurovision Song Contest for reasons other than musical merit, to armed conflict.


I believe there’s precedent for Americans mooning Austrailia.

Americans & Brits making fun of each other through a portal would be pretty neat haha
