I don't get it. Murica don't have knobs in their homes?

All our doors are like those in Star Trek where they open from you just walking up to them

Get with the times loser

Not really, your technology is like 20 years behind Northern Europe

Europeans really do have sturdier home materials. Even Eastern Europe have really sturdy walls/doors.

Pretty impressive.

>

Like a prison cell?

What is it?

on the downside, it makes real estate more expensive than some wooden bungalow

>Even Eastern Europe have really sturdy walls/doors.
>sturdy doors
Guess why.

>sturdy buildings are something impressive for North Americans
lol

this kinda turns me on just because

I think the whole world has sturdy houses except north americans
Our houses can get by in a 8° earthquake

these americants dont have x posts are starting to get old

There are a lot of things that seem common for everyone on the planet but are a huge surprise to north americans

top kek

Easter?

My apartment doesn't even have doors.
There are telepads in each room that I use to teleport to different rooms.

lol wtf

It's just a meme, unfortunately.

...

>he actually believe this

>air conditioning in your window
Are you poor

Why would my home have a doctor's office handle?

Unsanitary, it's hard to clean
Other way around kiddo. I've been to europe

Pretty based.

My grandparents house is some old, 200 year reused barn with 1,5m thick granite block walls. The door slot is basically a tunnel. That's pretty sturdy.

Cold as fuck, though.

>be German
>go to America
>see pic related everywhere
>thought they're just on TV or something

Also, i was really confused that you don't have cleaning ladies to tip in your public bathrooms. If you want to use a public bathroom in germany, you always need 1€ to tip the cleaning lady (srs)

No it doesnt

That's not a knob, that's a handle

>>thought they're just on TV or something
What? Having multiple heights or water fountains in general?

water fountains in general. had never seen them irl before

wtf i hate germany now

What are they for?

Also needing to tip just to take a dump is such an inconvenient third world way to run public toilets

>If you want to use a public bathroom in germany, you always need 1€ to tip the cleaning lady (srs)

Kek, as a Spaniard studying in Germany I've always found this hilarious, especially when I got shouted at the first two times I got in without paying.
Btw I think you are supposed to pay the money you feel like atm, if I just need to wash my hands I pay just 10 or 20 cts just to not get a death stare from the polish woman.

Those look so unhygienic lol.

>This frightens and confuses the Americlap

Why buy an air conditioner when a fan is cheaper?

>water spots are unhygenic

>Robertson screws
What is this 1915?

We have them here too but almost exclusively on schools.
They are, when we had a meningitis outbreak it was forbidden to drink from them.

Fans just push around hot air, while an air conditioner actually transfers some of that heat out of the room.

whenever an American is in their home, every American has a knob in their home

Why is the shower head disconnected? Don't you ever shower?

To be fair that's a new invention.

Back in the 90's, you had windows that opened sideways completely (in or out) then you had windows that could be opened backwards a bit as to let in a bit of fresh air, but they couldn't be opened completely.

Tbh I'd use an automatic if I could.

Matthias Wandel is Canadian. Canadian houses tend to have sliding windows.

They're bubblers
Which along with public toilets that haven't been run by generations of the one family collecting euro coins reflects the fact that new world anglos at least believe in socialising plumbing
PS toiletmap.gov.au/

We have door handles like that.
I had them in my university dorm. I had them in public school. Offices, too

Low quality thread.

>If you want to use a public bathroom in germany, you always need 1€ to tip the cleaning lady (srs)
and europeans make fun of us tipping people who bring us food?

I had one of these when I was a kid

public bidet

Nothing is built to last here. It's all motivated by profit. The line of thinking that a lot of contractors have when building houses is "How fast and how cheaply can you build something and get away with it?"

And no, we don't like it that way. Shit breaks all the time because it's made so cheaply.

I remember these shit-tier fucking awful screws. We used them at my carpentry job until they all started rounding off.

Phillips head are so much better than these fucking things. I HATE Robinson screws.

don't they spill water everywhere?

i remember when i was a child, we went on a school trip. we stopped at some place and everyone used the public bathroom. When we entered the bathroom, the cleaning lady saw we were just a bunch of kids and angrily shouted "if you poop on the seat, you have to pay extra!!!!".

Toilets ain't cleaning themselves you know. The money goes for electricity, water bills and cleaning supplies. The lady in there does not get her salary through "tips". She's there to collect money, keep things in order and don't let filthy drunks and whores in. So you can actually take a shit in peace like a civilized man, on toilets you don't catch Hep-C from. Moron.

Consumerism was invented by Americans. More proof we should've drowned you while you were young, when we had the chance.

Jesus, you still have door handles in Europe?
Come on it's 2017
I have automatic sliding doors in my house

>We used them at my carpentry job until they all started rounding off.
That's because you're bad at your job or don't use an impact driver.

Consumerism is good. It drives progress and gives rise to new technologies, retard. Without those technologies you wouldn't be able to shitpost here. So thank me.

Literally 3rd world

what do you mean "we"?

Your country didn't even exist independently until after WWI

jokes on you I daily a manual car

You retards. Most of the northern europe have mostly wood houses so low temps is not an issue. And pure brick houses are really 3rd world. There are older brick houses in the US that were built 50-100 years ago. There are better technologies now. Even multi million dollar mansions here are not 100% brick because it is so 3rd world. There are no/very few brick houses in california because of the risk of quakes. So Chile you are just poor.
Here are a typical LA """"brick"""" houses.
Why are you guys such retards?

>And pure brick houses are really 3rd world.
>be american
>build house of cardboard
>get tornadoed/shot

I feel anger just by looking at these

>Consumerism is good. It drives progress and gives rise to new technologies

So the previous ~40.000 years of development without it were merely a coincidence I take? Oh gosh. This is so embarrassing. People were creating new stuff to enjoy for thousands of years, often for FREE?! Unthinkable. It's literal COMMUNISM!!!!! Raegan is rolling in his grave!

Ah. British """"education"""". Say no more.

>this confuses western european

>40.000 years of development
define """"development""". all of it was irrelevant prior to the discovery of electricity and magnetism.

>Ah. British """"education"""".
why are irrelevant cunts so butthurt about other cunts education?

No, even multimillion dollar houses aren't brick because it would make the floor area smaller for the same price, and in American houses NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING is more important than MUH FLOOR AREA. Where's your average these days, 3000 sqft? What the hell do you even do with that fucking space?

Gulaschkanone?

Close

>putting warehouse tier ducts all through your house
>having bad enough insulation of living in a swampy enough place to need air conditioning to begin with

>german flag
3000 sq ft is pretty average actually. And rich peoples' houses can be much much bigger. They can afford any style and any size and it doesnt matter to them. So what you say about the size makes no sense.

>this is possible in North America to begin with

>this is also possible in North America

If they can't afford any style, then why are they too cheap to build with brick?

yes

>not having desert people genes to fend off heat

meh, i live in a small brick house. average square foot of house in my neighborhood is maybe 2,000 sf maybe less. anyway who cares

ac is for comfort. something that most europoors don't need or understand. but at least germans have an excuse since your climate is not that hot. but when spaniards or italians say the same thing it is just laughable.

they are not cheap. you are just retarded. i keep telling you that the price is not an issue for them. and the land costs much more that the house. if you had the ability to think logically you would figure out the answer yourself. nobody wants monolithic brick structures in the 21th fucking century. you are just too backwards to understand that.

I bet you could probably leave the keys in the ignition and no one would steal it.

Italian heat is just warm though. Amerifats have developed the habit of populating areas completely unsuited for most people, like tropical fucking swamps.

are you 14 years old or?

>tfw spent 1.5 hours shovelling snow like a snow neger this morning

But a brick house allows for just as many window openings as a wooden house, it won't look like a monolith at all. And also it won't rot away after 30 years.

Also I've been to Italy and their houses really aren't bad in the summer. The walls are thick and if you close the window shutters early enough in the day it'll stay cool inside until the evening.

I dont like brick though. I would build my house mostly under the ground if i live in the desert. maybe build with hay bales and mud stucco

Probably, with my car you have to push the clutch in to start it but. I wouldn't try it though, love that car and it would break my heart if it was stolen.

Why not -not- live in the desert?

Where's the hottest part in Italy? Google said Sicily but it's not very hot at all.

>wanting velociraptors in your home

>with my car you have to push the clutch in to start it
so, every car?

I dont, i live in the snow neger alps. fuck.

like said Italy is warm in comparison to the extreme heat you got in America

the North is pretty humid all year long though
