Differences between Bikini Bottom & real life

[The Drifter]

Would you go into more detail of this, please? :)

I'm not iedasb (duh) but here's some that I noticed.

• The architecture seems to be modelled after human junks.
• Most of the buildings are made out of metals (salvaged from the sunken battleships of the 50's nuclear tests?)
• Majority of the building are disconnected from the road, and far apart from other buildings.
• No proper zoning, the only properly zoned area we see is the industrial park.
• Either each buildings are self sustaining or Bikini Bottom have some really good infrastructure.All the buildings are powered, have running water, and proper sewage disposal despite of the random placing of buildings.
• Most of them appears to be larger in the inside.

Not sure if this counts, but there's something I noticed about the show.

The technology that the citizens of Bikini Bottom is generally a couple decades behind what ours is like. Look at their phones. And even the younger characters on the show are in possession of record players, as opposed to something more modern. That was probably intentional on the artist's part so the show would always be "classic" and timeless, or maybe it was done to signify that the show takes place in a world that's different from ours. Or maybe it was just an aesthetic/stylistic choice.

Their technology and a lot of their things might be collected/salvaged from shipwrecks or just from incidences of objects falling off of boats (in the case of Spongebob's house, and the magic pencil.) The Krusty Krab is fashioned from an old lobster trap (and its trapping abilities seem to have been re-purposed as extreme security methods,) and the fancy restaurant from "Krusty Love" is a large bottle.

Okay, I mean the shape of the houses...
Like Squidward house, SpongeBob, normal fish houses are different in shape as well.

It's funny how inconsistent they are with the level of technology in Bikini Bottom. They have record players, rotary telephones, VHS and cassette tapes in some episodes and "shell" phones, computers and flat screen TVs in others.

It appears that the "modern" technology is mostly used in quick gags, while their average/consistent technology seems to be in the 80s or so, maybe earlier (depending on the episode.)
