Linked because maybe dead.
For those who don't click through, it's a guy Looney-Tunes'ing himself off a concrete ledge with a jackhammer.

This disappointed me because your description made me think his feet came off the ground and the jackhammer carried him pogo-stick style off the edge of the platform.

Edit: Possibly with a mid-air pause while gravity considerately waited for him to realize he wasn't standing on anything before pulling him down.

Those garage doors are false. The driveway is hinged at the top and swings up to reveal the real garage underneath.

Window seats suck because they're a plank of hard wood that someone put a one-inch-thick slab of "cushion" on. No back, no give, terrible. I bet if you approached the window seat as if you were building a daybed or couch, with a tiny mattress, thick cushioned sides you could put your back against, etc. it'd become an actually nice place to sit.

Today's McMansion has something kind of like that:

Can you imagine how freezing cold that place would be? Wide open floor plans are nice, but really hard to heat, especially bathrooms,

I'm guessing this place belongs to a blind guy, he can't see out the front door, but his dog likes to look.

To be fair though, a lot of pics in that gallery could belong to a blind guy.

Given his use of "bloody" and "fuming" (although I'd argue his neighbours were the fumees) I'd say he's in England, and there's no shortage of walled up fireplaces in older homes there.

I would not be surprised if they were installed straight and the added weight caused the roof to sag.

While I don't really begrudge Swastika, Ontario playing the "We had it first" card, 1922 honestly isn't a lot of time before Hitler hosed up the swastika for everyone.

EDIT: I am aware that is pretty low on the list of Hitler's offenses.

I used to work in a hardware store, and on one occasion a co-worker was using the computer to look up something called a 'sozzle'. It took me nearly a minute to decipher that one.

If you press a switch on the other side of the house, the whole thing sinks flush with the floor and there's some kind of power-up on top.

If yall aren't aware, you can drive a semi-truck in the US without any training or license or inspection if you slap an "RV" on top of it. Literally any 80 year old can drive around something that requires schooling and a commercial driver's license

The Region of Peel is in southern Ontario, Canada. I have no idea if the RV trick works there.
