Plenty of people try to use popular hashtags to promote their unrelated content, but I'm almost impressed that they actually tried to make a segue from "oatmilk" to "my hustle grindset blog."

She looks like she’s from the generation that did a lot of those things early in childhood but then discovered the power of the Nintendo Entertainment System.

Also let’s be honest: If her kids skipped school to be with their lovers, she wouldn’t support this at all. She probably wouldn’t even support kids skipping school to be politically active.

I gotta say that is one depressing looking house. It looks like a garage with a house attached to it rather than the other way round. And it’s just so grey and featureless.

Semi-Hemi-Demigod ,
@Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social avatar

All the new houses going up around me look like that. Except for the ones that take up almost the entire lot so they can cram a 4,000sq ft house on a quarter acre.

Everything today is starting to suck because they're all min/maxing. Cars are all egg shaped SUVs or boxy trucks. Movies are all reboots, sequels, prequels, or live-action remakes. TV shows are epic fantasies or raunchy animated comedies or dark supernatural dramas. Because that's what all the metrics say will provide the best ROI.

I wish this Gilded Age were half as original as the last one.

PrincessLeiasCat ,

Thank you for also noticing the shitty shape of cars. I guess there’s a demand there, but I hate it too. I constantly bring this up, so I’m happy someone else agrees lol

Semi-Hemi-Demigod ,
@Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social avatar

I think the main problem is that anyone with enough money to buy a new car is so old they can't get in and out of something sporty.

PrincessLeiasCat ,

That or kids/car seats.

I’m not that old yet, and no kids, so give me my tiny sporty coupes that are easier to park.

cmbabul ,

I figure it’s a combination of three things; the level of aerodynamic engineering the industry has achieved, lowest common denominator design to appeal to the largest possible group, and a demand for storage space.

lars ,

All. The. Cars. Look. The. Same. It. Is. Like. The. 1940s. Right. Now.

I’d love to see some sarcastic/ironic eye candy on this figurative and literal highway to hell.

jungle ,

I completely agree with you, and I also noticed cars gradually losing personality around the turn of the century, but the most egg shaped car of all happens to be the one I love the most: the VW bug. I had one ~20 years ago, yellow even, and I still miss it.

paysrenttobirds ,

This actually looks kind of quaint to me. Now the house would be on top of the garage and there would be six of them and the trees would be gone. I’d feel like a prince of the world if I had a 3% mortgage on this.

guyrocket ,
@guyrocket@kbin.social avatar

I also dislike this look.

My garage is back behind my house on the alley as it should be. What lunatic ever thought moving the carriage house to the front was a good idea?

Also...this is a plastic box. Why do people want to live in plastic boxes?

it's got that mcmansion roofline without the size. it's just a sucky house in a shitty suburban hell. I bet the owner can't even legally use all the land they bought to make a vegetable garden

QuinceDaPence ,

It looks like a garage with a house attached to it rather than the other way round.

My dream house is 80% garage/workshop.

But yeah, this one looks strange. I think because the garage juts out forward.

Delphia ,

I think its because theres no side fences or landscaping. Its a house in a field.

    It does, but I think theres nothing “wrong” with the house, the garage just looks so prominent because theres literally nothing else going on.

    The whole scene looks unfinished.

    Delphia ,

    Do not underestimate how nice your house can be inside when you have adequate storage space for things you dont want on display. Does need some landscaping though.

    I really understand the advantages of having a single story house but why does it seem so uncommon to see two story houses in the US/Canada?

    PrettyFlyForAFatGuy ,

    population density is much lower, so land is much cheaper, and multi story houses are harder to build.

    so you just use more land for your house.

    Also extreme weather is more common in the US. single story houses are more susceptible to this

    qyron ,

    We’re not exactly packed like sardines where I live but building up, unless health issues are a concern, is always the first thing considered, exactly to save clear ground area for other uses, regardless if building on 100m2 or 10 hectares.

    ricecake ,

    Is it uncommon? I feel like I see them all the time.

    We just have a lot of houses, and a lot of space which makes it so you can feasibly have a generously sized single story house.

    There’s also a trend towards making the basement comfortably livable in a lot of areas.

    qyron ,

    I can only speak of the pictures I often see in media and what I see on television programs, where the typical north american house is single story.

    ricecake ,

    Interesting. Living here, it’s not uncommon at all for houses to be multistory.

    s_s ,
    @s_s@lemmy.one avatar

    Ranches were popular in the 80s and 90s when US boomers were buying “forever homes”.

    For everywhere and everyone else, the foundation and roof are the most expensive part of the building so it makes the most sense to double or triple your square footage between those by building 2 or 3 stories.

    orphiebaby ,

    Stairs are for healthy people.

    qyron ,

    That is not a lie and I am very much aware of that reality, as a member of my household is in serious risk to lose mobility due to health issues. Yet, vertical space is always a good thing to have.

    patchw3rk ,
    @patchw3rk@lemmy.ca avatar

    Why? It’s cheaper at the front end but a pain in the ass the whole time. It’s much better and convenient to have a bungalow.

    Rambi ,

    What? If you don’t have mobility issues why wouldn’t you want a multi story house? There’s more space that way.

    patchw3rk ,
    @patchw3rk@lemmy.ca avatar

    Convenience. Have you ever moved mattresses and couches up a flight of stairs?

    Rambi ,

    Yep I have. Mattresses are easy it’s the sofas that cause issues.

    LilB0kChoy ,

    Where are you looking? This very well is likely regional. I grew up in the Midwest and every house in my neighborhood had at least two floors, usually more like 3 (ground floor, finished basement, 2nd story).

    Communities built for older people often only have one floor due to mobility issues and parts of the country (most of the south) do not have basements. If you’re relying on film/television then it’s likely they’re not filming in the parts where basements are common.

    In North America, cellars usually are found in rural or older homes on the coasts and in the South. However, full basements are commonplace in new houses in the Canadian and American Midwest and other areas subject to tornado activity or requiring foundations below the frost line.

    I text the home buyers back and ask for $400,000 cash or no deal. For some reason their enthusiasm drops right after, but they still keep texting me.

    The amount of people who can’t realize this is satire from the (Let’s hop into a 5 min call) alone is insane. Like bruh I’m literally autistic and have trouble with telling when things are a joke and even I realized.

    “The joke is I can’t afford this house”

    Marvelous

    starman2112 ,
    @starman2112@sh.itjust.works avatar

    No, the punchline is “I can’t afford this house.” It’s humorous because the preceding story seems to build up to some anecdote about how having some money right now is less important than having more money later, or some other overdone trite non-observation, but it ends with the orator subverting your expectation that he can easily afford the house by admitting that not only can he not afford it, he in fact has no money and must find a way to make the entire $15,000,000 within one year.

    Like all jokes, it’s not funny if you don’t get it, and if you only get it after someone explains it to you, it still won’t be funny.

    mojo ,
