Honestly, perfect place for datacentres. Unlimited water in the pool area, electric sockets are likely live, unlimited space, no noise pollution, just have to put a data cable though the threshold.

I'm pretty sure the backrooms if they were real, they wouldn't be a horror thing, it would be full of people mapping it and living there. there would be a small organised millitia to neutralize dangerous stilllives. Plenty of hydroponic agriculture.

It would be interesting to see cities in the backrooms, where being there is just a normal thing... Nevermind, it already exists, it's called the Toronto Path

    Well, there was something similar: Kowloon Walled City

    A truly fascinating place.

    I guess the backrooms would be quite similar.

    Yes, but the still lifes aren't the only danger. There is still the time warps, instability of walls and flooring with the null zones, the bacteria.

    And IMO contact with the backrooms clearly a induces a form of paranoid schizophrenia, as seen by some of Kane's work.

    So it would be an inevitable disaster to use the backrooms for any useful purposes.

    i think the randomly appearing and disapearing chairs and stuff might mean a datacenter would need a lot of maintenance
