    why the hell would you want to go back to building these god-awful houses? they dont have a shape! they look like a cancerous blob growing on a cancerous blob.

    if you cant describe the shape of your house in a very few words, or need multiple sentences to describe the shape of your roof, i'm sorry but you've got a dogshit design.

    houses should be square, or long, or L-shaped, or maybe T or cross-shaped. that's about it.

    this is a normal-shaped house:

    incidentally, what do chinese people and russians call L-shaped things?

      Russians probably use г

      The Russian letter "г" is pronounced "ge" and sounds like the "g" in "go". It is the fourth letter in the Cyrillic alphabet and is derived from the Greek letter gamma.

      This video is basically just an RETVRN meme played completely straight, minus the overt racism.

      Also potential hot take: there's nothing wrong with boring drywall box houses. It's cheap to build, reliable, easy to repair and make adjustments to for taste, and does its job.

        edit: yeah I mean done right they're kinda fine but they are done super cheap and shitty at least as often as they are done well. My biggest issue is that they're single family detached houses and that's just inherently inefficient

      Yeah, very silly omission.

      Have you seen rich people's new homes? They can definitely pay for custom, artistic shit.

      Let's see some normal people's homes from 1880 for a fair comparison. I mean how many are even still standing?
