Nomads are famously known for their houses

kattenluik,

Someone else already made this exact comment with someone already explaining how and why.

I know when I go a’nomading, I always take a stationary house with me

d3m0nr4v3r,

Haha my thoughts exactly. Although from what I know it is and always has been common for nomadic peoples to have fixed places where they might spend certain times of the year for example.

That’s why I didn’t dare to make a comment like yours :D

jpreston2005,

hey never let a technicality stand between you and making a joke. The idea that a bunch of nomads got together to go a’roamin, and one dude pulls up dragging his condo, is hilarious.

See many trees? No wood means no roof. Four walls but no roof is really common in that area even these days. 🤯

Looks like a thatched roof to me.

blahsay,

Me too. Still needs supports

‘there is no te in this picture, therefore there aren’t any trees in Uzbekistan’

I get the ear trumpets, but why the weird goggles?

Cethin,

I assume magnification to spot planes. Basically binoculars without the need to hold them.

Are they on a date?

What if we listened for British Sopwith Camels together? JK JK! ... unless...?

NotSpez,

They knew the first date is all about listening to the other person.

dipshit,

Relationships are all about communication.

Before radar was invented, we pointed lights at the sky hoping to see enemy airplanes.

Hawke,

And after too, since radar is light.

looks fotoshopped

Look at that line. Imagine if you were unfortunate enough to be commuting in the opposite direction. No temp construction semaphore to save you from the one way traffic to work.

Accidental Renaissance?

blahsay, in Traditional 'Chinampa' lake gardens and canals, Mexico, 1912

Such smart farming! I’m surprised they make the canals so deep they need boats to get around though.

Cl1nk, in Traditional 'Chinampa' lake gardens and canals, Mexico, 1912

Great picture! I’m surprised that I’ve never seen a modern photo of the Chinampas (that aren’t from Xochimilco) I always thought the system came in desuse way before the times, or that the city someone engulfed most of the lake by the time the technology existed.

AToM_exe, in German U-Boat washed ashore at Hastings, UK, WW1, 1919

Mate, you can’t park here.

ZombiFrancis, in Bust of Stalin defaced during the Velvet Revolution in Czechoslovakia - placard reading "Nothing lasts forever", 1989

Well he’d been dead for 36 years at that point so the placard was pretty apt.
