I asked a builder why this was, and he said that the lateral forces created by a slightly tilted window has just enough force to rip the entire side of a house clean off due to houses having the structural integrity of wet newspaper, which is the preferred construction method in the States
can't tell if this is a troll or not. youre telling me people outside the states think we live in wet newspaper?
It's an intentional exaggeration, but it's true that houses in the US are usually built without a proper foundation and with thin walls.
They're built differently depending on where you live in the states and your environment. I know y'all love staying ignorant to feel superior but this one is still pretty dumb. People in Japan practically have paper walls and I don't see you guys all up your snobby butts about that. Xenophobic turds. It would take people 10 seconds to learn why some of our houses are built the way they are but they won't bother if they haven't by now because they prefer the ignorance.
You're taking this a bit too seriously, man. It's like when we joke about the British having fucked up teeth. Just ribbing each other.
