Over the last week I could swear I've seen way more

Why the fuck is "troglodyte" an offensive word anyways, seriously, underground dwellings are great for temperature, noise, security, energy efficiency, environmental friendliness, cost of construction, disaster preparedness, you name it, they've been used by countless peoples since the dawn of mankind because they're a genuinely great form of housing, honestly we should fucking ALL be troglodytes instead of deforesting the world to build fucking suburbs killing the planet filling the sky with so much light pollution and actual pollution that I can't even see the fucking stars half the time. The McMansion and its consequences have been a disas
troglodyte spotted
Well, the housing co-op where I live was actually built into the side of a hill, but not really in a cave dwelling type of way. So I guess I'm more of a half-troglodyte who spends a bizarre amount of time fantasizing about becoming a full troglodyte.
I'm pretty sure you're describing a hobbit
Honestly, I kinda wish. Thatched roofs would be nice and aren't too uncommon in this part of the world.
I live in a below street row house and it destroyed my mood. Humans are meant to see light.
Cave dwellings throughout history have generally had pretty good natural lighting, incidentally, since ancient humans had an even greater need for natural light than modern humans do. Your below street row house having poor enough natural lighting to basically drive a man to depression I'm willing to guess is a lot more to do with cost-cutting on the housing market than anything, honestly.
With fiber optic cables directing sunlight miles underground, we could build a rad troggie community [edit: is troggie a slur? because it sounds bad but also I just made it up]
Our slur filter captures words I didn't know before, if it didn't catch troggie you're safe.
idk man golum seems pretty happy
It's a conspiracy by big housing.
