Journalists are retarded.

I saw this video, ind it is truly a peak jurnalism.
Thesis: Container boxes can be turned into CHEAP houses.

The findings:
Containers can be turned into houses
They are cheap
They do offer a lot of luxuries of cheap house
People ARE actually using them already

But they're not stackable and they aren't as big as a normal house, so it's not logical to ever use it.
:blobvomiting:

@LukeAlmighty how are they not stackable or hard to build? Just cut holes in them then stack them on top of each other. Boom, you just got at least two extra floors and even more if you can be bothered with erecting some supports. If anything, the real problem with these would be figuring out how to insulate them without trippling the cost

@nukie
They are not stackable...
Well, some people did it, and we saw proof in the video, but is just is not possible.

This is the difference between "academic analysis" and "common sense"

Because by stackable, they mean 20 or more... you know... for your small cheap house.

@nukie
That seems to be the paradox of modern housing.

You can say, that young people cannot afford even smallest apartments in commie houses, but the moment, you mention building more of commie houses (maybe even using modern technologies), the boomers start screeching, that noone deserves to live in such shithole.

@LukeAlmighty okay I just watched the video. Holy fuck, there people are really, unironically, complaining about how having a shipping container house isn't comfy enough for you if you're some california hipster with money to spend, what a load of shit.
Also
>you can't stack your containers in quirky and funny ways easily, therefore it's bad
argument was such a fucking reach. The only good argument I could see was that you're still gonna have to pay a fuckton of money for getting utilities, permits and foundations set up and moving your house around is gonna be a pain in the ass no matter what so you might as well just save up some more cash and eiither build a real house or buy a camper van, but that's about it.

Really, if anything this video was made for retarded hipsters who look at these structurally deranged, ugly pods and think to themselves "Wow, that looks so quirky and unique and sustainable I need to live like that" and spend 100K on making a monstrosity that caves in under it's own weight within a year. On an unrelated note, you could totally fit a big engine, old howitzer and a pair of treads onto one of these containers and ride it around, why hasn't anyone done THAT instead of this hippie shit?

@nukie
I think I got some brain damage from the part, where they said: It might seem cheap at first, but houses are cheaper once you compare it per ft².

Really? That's what cheap means you brainlet. The fact that on a large scale, there are better options is pointless, when you can't afford it.

@LukeAlmighty I didn't even catch onto that, was that after they mentioned ukranian refugees? I shut off the video after that
@randbot @LukeAlmighty From the people who brought you Caravans now comes the next stage in "I'm totally not homeless":

A station wagon with a mattress on the back!
@Crux_Invictus @randbot @LukeAlmighty Ah Yes, people in Caravans we call those Gypsies around these parts
@Dan_Hulson @Crux_Invictus @randbot @LukeAlmighty My Oma used to say there's a difference between Hobos and gypsies. Hobos would come to her family's garden looking for work while gypsies would just steal their vegetables
@Dan_Hulson @Crux_Invictus @randbot @LukeAlmighty She also had hot takes like "when I die, give my house to niggers just to piss off our beaner neighbors"
@Dan_Hulson @Crux_Invictus @randbot @LukeAlmighty Every time I do a racism, my Oma look's down at me from Heaven saying "that's my girl!"
@Dan_Hulson @Crux_Invictus @randbot @LukeAlmighty She spoiled me ridiculously as a kid. We both enjoyed the art of shopping and I always had the best skates and shoes
@Dan_Hulson @Crux_Invictus @randbot @LukeAlmighty Never got Starscream or Megatron but did have Soundwave and the Constructicons set.
Im still bitter my mother didn't buy megatron or soundwave for me. I remember being in a store, called T.G.&Y and they had both... not even a maybe but just a flat no. Never found them after that..
I was missing 2 of them to get the set.
Your's is in much better shape! I played with mine!

I remember they had two large Voltrons, the plastic and then a metal one. I was at a sears outlet store playing with one of the toys and some little nigger kid walked up and grabbed it from me. I slammed his head into the shelf and took it back. He started crying and ran off... one of my first memories of nigs.
@Chet @LukeAlmighty @Crux_Invictus @Dan_Hulson @UnityOstara @randbot The all plastic one was made by Panosh Place , it exists due to lead paint concerns in the die cast Popee version .
@Chet @LukeAlmighty @Crux_Invictus @Dan_Hulson @UnityOstara @randbot Thats not my childhood Voltron I just googled a pic and good for you for teaching that nog a lesson in manners.
@UnityOstara @Chet @LukeAlmighty @Crux_Invictus @Dan_Hulson @randbot The Japanese version of Voltron is superior to the neutered US version we watched as kids.
