In America we have to keep our windows closed to keep out the fent smoke and bullets.
your walls won't save you from the latter tho
Bullets are not ghosts, they can't go through walls, stupid
They can go through shitty American drywall
post brought to you by brick wall gang
If bullets can go through drywall then why am I allowed to shoot anyone who enters my home? That would clearly be dangerous /s
Rifle rounds will go right through brick too unless they're as wide as cinder blocks and filled. Shit's scary.
another brutalism W :hoxha:
I want all my architecture to look like the Forerunners built it
I think it’s a joke that American houses (in the eyes of Europeans) are made out of sticks (stud framing in the house) and paper (drywall is made from gypsum and has a paper backing)
In European countries, their houses are made of tougher materials like stone, concrete, or some other material I’m forgetting about
It’s a known thing in America that stray bullets end up in people’s houses (and sometimes their residents) when it’s an American holiday like 4th of July or Memorial Day
America tends to build with the cheapest materials. So wood framed houses are clad in wood or plastic
Australia copied a lot from America. Our houses also are wood framed, but we use brick cladding and concrete tile roofs
New tech is more available now. If I were to build today it would be out of foamed plastic and reinforced concrete (as insulated concrete forms). And I'd use tilt/swing windows
yeah in some states like the Tornado Alley or California (earthquakes) ig that might actually make more sense since sometimes such materials might withstand more force than brick
Not an issue in Australia, but I bet brick stops or slows bullets more than wood
Our brick construction doesn't do well in earthquakes. If a roof is going to fall on you, you don't want it made of tiles
