Why does every modern building in Dubai look like a PS5 ?
Similar aesthetic preferences?
Cus is life is a game my friend
Current architecture trend
Better wifi reception
Another Question: why the PS5 looks like a Skyscraper?
When he said "luxurious materials" I thought Fern was gonna start talking about galvinised steel

Dont forget the Eco Friendly Wood veneers
And the screws borrowed from his aunt

Dont forget the fact that its galvanized SQAURE steel

Can't wait for the Mercedes luxury poop trucks
The whole point of the building was to sell poop trucks in Dubai
lol another amerimutt jealous bcz dubai surpassed his 3rd world cities
Ahahah can't wait for all the car channels to do a mercedes poop truck review
dubai has had their building sewage system for many years now. Yet, this lie is repeated, probably due to racism.
@@AL-lh2ht The Burj Khalifa isn't hooked up to municipal wastewater treatment.. how do you judge a stab at moronic planning and engineering/megalomaniac constructions as a rac*ist remark is beyond me
The world is becoming a cyberpunk dystopia and we're all just watching it happen
Dubai is not the world.

dubai has nothing going for it, the best it can do is become THE cyberpunk city to stay relevant
ngl when you go in person it doesn't look as bad. in a way much better than the old suburbs spread across swathes of land. arguably far more sustainable too. and it kinda looks cool at night ngl. then again I've spent years living in Singapore, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur & vacationed in countless other areas where high rise living is the norm.

You mean a garage lmao, idk why people feel the need to have there car in there damn kitchen or bedroom smh lmao
Wheels are dirty af, why would anyone want their cars in the living room?

But for that, I was thinking more of a Lambo or Ferrari... not a Porche.
Mercedes is going back to their roots. ☠️
Same (I should run because I'm polish)
E
No don't mix brands Mercedes Benz roots are pretty good, Carl Benz was a French Huguenot who started a cars business in Germany in the land Germany annexed from France after 1815 and 1871. His Grandfather was even an officer in Napoleon's Grande Armée, fighting for liberty and the end of serfdom in France, Germany and the rest of Europe.
As long as it's not volkswagen
@@ommsterlitz1805 napoleon was not a good guy my friend
This concept disturbs me, why would one want to live in an advertisement tower...
guarantee most of the folks buying property there are not really living in it. maybe a few weeks out of a year but building like that tend to sit empty most of the time.
Because people with little brains, can have lots of money
Probably the tragic people who walk around carrying conspicuously labelled handbags & jackets & watches etc.
Probably because they can do whatever the fuck they like in that advertisement tower, unlike in a public place where some underpaid imbecile defines the "rules" for you.
If they built cheaper apartments for lower prices than the competition in return for the building being a giant ad then it would actually be fine, idk why anyone would pay more for living in an ad, hell they could even put inside TVs displaying ads if the housing would be cheaper in return
Adam Something is going to love this.
I'm sure he will make up more lies to tell about dubia. or spend half the video saying the world expat is racist, when it literally just means a foreign worker, as in anyone with a work visa.
dude you okay?
@@PRoxydized Lol this AL guy is replying to every single comment that criticizes Dubai.
I mean hey if you want to live in an autocratic State being constantly monitored by State security.

Dubai is nothing more than flashy fronting BS
@Al -lh2ht Wow guys, edgy troll alert 🚨 Wow he’s saying something edgy look at him!!! What a badass. 😎
Who wants to live in a branded home though? Especially when it looks this phallic.
Where do you live? Oh, I live in the giant Mercedes P****.
Can"t believe I had to scroll down this far to finally see someone acknowledging the phallic design. I though I was the only one :) They"re building a 300m Mercedes Dildo in the middle of the city lol
@@herrgahrSame here. XD
if playstation made a dildo...
I see that Mercedes is embracing their tradition of using unethical sources of labour for their own profit...
Feels like it's all going back to the 1930/40s lately
More like 1890’s with upper class and everyone else serving them.
I believe that you can't be on top and manage a company that's worth billions of dollars and do it ethically. If you play by the rules and treat the workers fairly you will go bankrupt or at least won't get nearly as big.
That’s honestly just capitalism, can’t blame them unless we also start blaming all big companies, the stupid Arabs should be blamed instead because they’re the ones owning those slaves and the government loves slavery
@@raybod1775more like the 1850s with the forced labor and slavery.
The ad break segment having its own time bar is a nice touch.
I wish more channels did that.
there exists a browser extension called Sponsorock which automatically skips such sponsorships
Honestly most of the channels I watch do it, and if they don't they usually have the ad as a separate chapter on the video timeline. It's really nice, it's like a subtle nod telling you where to skip lol, sadly it's only a matter of time until sponsors get mad about it.
German companies and slave labour. Name me a more iconic duo.
Americans and slave Labour? I mean basically every American worker is a slave they can’t even afford to go to a doctor
England and slave laibour??? Spain and slave laibour??
The entire Middle East and slave laibour??? China and slave laibour???
Germany was never known for there slavery since our position doesn’t really slow us to get any delivered
I am pricy shure literally every nation as old as Germany is more sinonimous with slavery then germany
WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT STATEMENT?
To be fair, you could say that about most countries.
The US did this as well cry about it
It is heartbreaking to see whats happening in dubai to workers
ironically they are better off compared to where they came from. No seriously that is what the workers say.
@@AL-lh2htstop with the propaganda
@@AL-lh2ht Source please.
@@AL-lh2ht Even if they're slightly better off it's still no excuse for that kind of treatment. It's still slavery, which is always monstrous and disgusting. Slave owners back in the 1800s would've said the exact same things about Africans that were sold to work on American plantations, but we figured out almost 200 years ago that that still doesn't make it right, or even remotely okay.
You didn't see how slave kids producing metals for your iPhone live.
Does it vibrate? It looks like it should.
I sure hope so
Dirty bastra

To please the Gods.
Honestly I never thought car brands would enter the branded marketing
E
it was only a matter of time
Ferrari's been a key chain and hat company for a good while now.
I mean Tesla‘s entire business concept is based on branding and hype
@@zarasha2024 Most branches were about brands and hypes since the 19th century. I mean there's a reason why Mercedes-Benz branded every car with their star and invested so heavily in motorsport, long before motorsport became a driver of progress. Advertising in the 1950s already started the trend of creating and strengthening the brandings of companies as well as creating hype about new products. People like Steve Jobs or Elon Musk developed these techniques to a whole new level.
fern videos are fire in everything: script, animations, intro, speech EVERYTHING!

Yeah its a combined channel of Simplicissimus and Hoog, both are incredibly well produced on their own already so them working together makes it possible

@@aturchomicz821 ok, so?
@@lyxcheats Well thats my opinion, you may respectfully disagree and thats fine!
Dubai is late stage capitalism "personified", and this whole project *stinks* of unchecked hubris, disregard for human lives and pure greed. In my eyes, it's a disgustingly ugly building. Both in design, and as a concept. "Branded living" just feels so... Wrong. Dystopian on a whole new level.
Pretty soon we’ll all be living in branded living. First it’s buildings, then it’s whole cities and towns, then it’s an entire country. Soon enough we’ll all be living under one global megacorp
fern: "the tower is designed to resemble the design of these 2 cars"
me: "this tower came straight out of an adult store!"
Cant wait to live in a temu apartment that falls apart after 1 week.

They're not places I want to go
I wouldn't want to live in this dystopian hellhole even if they gave me one of the luxury apartments for free.
Take it for free and then sell it

"Downtown Dubai" is such a hilarious concept. It's not downtown in the word's actual meaning but a separate resort, like everything in dubai, that just happens to be named like that lol
I'm a simple man. I see fern's new video and I instantly click!

I clicked to dislike
Dubai is starting to look like a set for a Star Wars film. The Coruscant scenes would be filmed there.
Finally there is a english CZcams channel pronouncing German Car Company Names right 😂
Its because the speaker is german
Bro has a very thicc German accent 🤣
@Vision-ky7ew do you think?
I don't find it so.
But then I grew up in NGermany for 4 years as a baby 👶 and to me its comforting.
How do you learn english?
Others: school
Me: watching fern without german subtitles
Simplicissimus 💀
It always hurts my soul when a German says Mertsedes, Matsda or Sutsuki.
This whole concept just threw me back to the existence of Celebration, Florida, and Disney's whole concept for a town.
The animations are on top👌
Well done boys
E
The best thing about Jonas (the voice in this video) being german is, that Porsche really is pronounced "Porsche" and not "Porsch" like every american does 😂
Yeah but 10:22 into the video I only heard him pronounce Mercedes Benz correctly once.
Why pronounce Porsche german and „Merseydis bens“ that weird american way?
Companies earning so much profit over the years that they're now expanding their business (from apparel/automobile/jewelry to real estate). Meanwhile, their workers' pay barely increased during the same period.
Thats how our economical system works. Rich get richer, poor get poorer
This system was invented by McDonald's. People think it is a food company, it is actually a real estate company. The Corp purchases property, they lease or franchise it out. The food just pays the bills while they buy and sell depending on the market. This is why you find McDonald's in places where you don't find other restaurants. The Corp itself runs very few of its own.Their land holdings are now rival that of the Vatican. It is considered the most successful and innovative real estate company in history. That is why so many companies are now using this model for diversification. And then these apartments mostly remain empty as other millionaires use it to launder money.
Dubai? Ethical questions?
:O
their treatment is 10 times better than what those workers are subjected to in their home countries.
the world isnt a nice place, every country need to go through the sweat shop phase of industralization.
when the west called out brands like nike for hiring slave labour in vietnam and said brands closed shop, did you know what happened to the kids and women that worked there? they sold themselves to prostituion, thats reality.
The journalism you're making is on TOP of this world!
If you want to know more about Dubai, feel free to watch Adam Something's video about it. It pretty much sums up what Dubai really is.
Trash video
Where is the video?
Adam Something is something... Dubai really is a horrible place made for vanity and excessive luxury, Russians love this place for inhumane skyscrapers and for the hype, they can't afford the true luxury of London, Zurich, Paris or New York City (I am from Russia and I get sick when I hear about Dubai, this is a disgrace for humanity)
@@user-mb2kx1rl2i Just search for "Dubai Is A Parody Of The 21st Century"
@@fjord_medoff_08 You don’t really have a leg to stand on calling any place a disgrace to humanity seeing as you’re from Russia. Talk about disgrace.
Your comment, like most others bashing Dubai, is simply jealousy. If it wasn’t why would you write “they can’t afford the true luxury of…”. If vanity and luxury are such terrible vices, why put those cities on a pedestal? It’s just cause you feel better about yourself bashing a goddamn city. Newflash, it doesn’t give a shit
The main question is: Will it have a sewage system connected to the grid? Maybe it will be it's special feature in Dubai.
dubai announced a 5 billion dollar infrastructure upgrade to water systems after the flood, showing a clear consideration and action for improvement from the government. Nobody mentions this soley to keep the dubai hate moving.
The hate is really for the forced migrant labour conditions. Sure,other countries and companies do this too, but the middle east in general specifically has human rights abuses on a far larger scale than others. Valid hate imo@@fadbob_
@@fadbob_ All the completely unjustified hate of a dictatorial theocracy that uses borderline slave labor to build said infrastructure? Yeah I can't see why, the reason for any anger is a complete mystery huh?
@@fadbob_mimimimi… the Dubai hate…. Mimimimi
Maybe you, as an apparent DXB fanboy, should risk an honest view behind the glitzy curtain, and then you would be able to understand the criticism that some people have (and is often misunderstood as “hate”)
@@marcd6897 criticism mentions the problem while taking into account progress in solving the said issue, which is how you make a statement a city would listen to. Hate is just, "here to remind you that this is bad", without any consideration of current progress. This splits the city from criticisms even more as they seem like more of a message of spite rather than a suggestion of further improvement.
The germans are dropping the facade i see
This is just insane like the yacht comparison of super rich people, but on company level.
Ok this is probably inappropriate but I have to ask, does it vibrate?
I wouldn't trust a building that was build by workers that earned 4$ a day for building it
I had never heard of the Porsche tower before and looked into it, it actually made me sick to my stomach. 3 elevators that take you and your car directly to your apartment, 4-car garages on the 60th floor. What a disgusting display of wealth
I find it really good that you ask companies and subjects to comment on your topics. Even if the don't respond. Do you ever recieve some feedback?
2:01 We got the GTA 5 Apartment Interior IRL before we got GTA6
crazy how people still look up to these countries and dream to live within them
2:04 "room for domestic workers" is just a slave closet
Not really, it’s pretty normal to have domestic workers here in the Middle East, they earn a LOTTT more than what they would back home and are able to fund their family’s needs.
I won’t say abuse doesn’t happen, sure it does but at that point it’s irrelevant as it could happen anywhere and some hosts are amazing while others… yea
@rantlyy "they earn a lot more than back home" is the talking point of everyone who has defended the Qatari slavery. And saying "some hosts are good while others aren't" sounds a lot like "he was a good man because he didn't beat his slaves."
@@BK01012 again, domestic workers aren’t a qatari exclusive, everybody in the Middle East has this practice & the fact that yet get paid like 5x more than they would back at home doing similar back breaking work to build you westerners cheap 1$ temu products is a valid argument don’t disregard it, it’s not like they’re living comfortable life’s in their countries and we kidnapped them.
And yes some workers are treated amazingly and are considered family and some are abused, similar to any other job, some are great, some bosses are abusive. It’s just that you only ever hear about the bad cases on the news so you’ve got a bad perception of it. I’m just asking you not to jump to calling all of them slaves because you heard it said online by other people like you who have no idea what’s actually happening here. Think twice before having such a strong unfactual opinion lol.
Not everybody is able to live to western standards, life isn’t fair, we atleast give them the opportunity to educate and feed their families back home, it’s sure better than you guys buying Chinese products made by kids who’s lives are ruined & don’t earn a livable wage
@@rantlyy you just said the same s*it but longer
@@BK01012 And you just made your attempt at a rebuttal shorter. Argue your point if you care about it.
The fact that people glamorize places like Dubai is insane to me. Thanks for your video

who the fuck can afford a 2.3 million dollar apartment, and if you can, at that point, you should just buy the 20 million one for all the features, or better yet, BUILD YOUR OWN TOWER

If only that one billion dollars was put into charity.
I'll be your nitpicky english teacher today: At 2:42 you say "since almost 100 years". That is incorrect, you can say "for almost 100 years" or "since almost 100 years ago". Remember: "since" is for points in time, "for" is for durations of time. The German "seit fast 100 jahren" doesn't translate literally at that point.

Great video topic, I hadn't thought about this since the Porsche building.
Would love to hear another video from you about carbon credits but specific to the auto industry. I wonder if companies like Mercedes will venture into different industries to obtain credits to either sell or use towards vehicle sales in ZEV states, since ZEV standards are higher than federal standards.
I live in Abu dhabi and often go to dubai for leisure and what i can say is that the migrant abuse in the Uae is normalized here. Most of the workers come from South asian countries, which are prodomantly poor, so they come here to live a better life and support their families back home. They can't really do anything to fight because that would mean them risking getting fired or even getting deported because there are thousands of other men who live in the same situation that could replace them.
Dam. That's one way to get free adds for rest of life
This proves it, Mercedes is evil, always has been.
This building is the embodiment of the “people are dying” meme.
I'm sure it'll be fine. After all, German automobile manufacturers have such spotless, clean histories and no skeletons in their closets
I have seen Disney cruiseships being build in the Meier Werft in Germany. Maybe a good idea voor a future video?
