What's a mall?
It's a rodent that my cat likes to hunt outside and bring home as trophies.
No, you're thinking of a mouse. A mall is when the top of something reaches a relatively high elevation. Like a giraffe or a multi story building.
No, you are thinking of tall. A mall is actually something tiny. For example, a raspberry is mall.
No, you're thinking of small. A mall is an imperial unit of measurement that is ≈ 1.612 kilometers
No, you're thinking of a mile. A mall is a small, often slightly raised blemish on the skin made dark by a high concentration of melanin.
No, that's a mole. A mall is actually something you do with a telephone if you're over 40.
No, you are thinking about a call. A mall is what separates toilets from each other so you don't have to watch the result of someone else's 2-day-no-poop-challenge.
No, you're thinking of a stall. A mall is what happens when something transfers from a height to the ground without control.
Reddit died for y'all's sins.
An place that supports consumerism that therefore supports more exploitation so some rich people can continue to exploit humanity to enforce their artificial of power through money over humanity
Humans should live to be human and be free to express themselves freely, not be money making livestock to the few that enforce that power through money structure over humanity
And a great place to go for walks if you are in need of rehab. Flat, level, ground and climate controlled.
Here in Florida all the OG indoor malls have been abandoned, and developers keep building these new "outdoor" malls.
Outdoor. Malls. In Florida. Where it's hot.
And people keep going there because there's a new Sugar Factory or Fogo de Chão...
My inner urbanist despises these outdoor malls (at least the ones I've seen in Canada).
It's essentially an artificial car-free downtown surrounded by a massive parking lot, and rarely served by public transportation. Why don't we just build walkable downtowns instead? Is it because these are just suburbanites LARPing walkable living?
I'm in California. We have many malls. I don't know what they are like these days. I haven't actually set foot in any for years. And I can walk to one!
Every mall I've been to since like 2018 has just been fewer and fewer shops that aren't rotating their same, boring stuff often enough.
And then Auntie Anne's pretzels, which always slap.
Here in Adelaide, Australia most of our malls are still here - probably got to do with the fact all our malls key stores just happen to be grocery stores, or Walmart style stores (sans groceries) like Kmart, Target, and Big W.
Although Myer centre in Adelaide's Rundle mall (basically a shopping street with no cars) is a bit dead on the top 3 floors - and has been for years now. It's ground and basement floors are always packed (food court in the basement) though.
