This honestly just makes me wonder how chill a workday was if three whole buildings of office drones could empty into the streets to watch them load this for two hours.
My brother in christ, you have no idea. The rise of the computer age and needing round the clock support for all that entails has really done a number on the working class.

What would that even be?
Server rack with a couple of PBs worth of drives in it would probably match the physical size. Or a massive tape archive storage.
Tbh they could be waiting for the path to clear so they could get past
